I mean, lets just call a spade a spade. The early battles we were badly out numbered in terms of mercs. Yeah, i know the amount of people who sign up for battle can make a roster look more even, but that doesn't mean that everyone will show up or stay. And I'm not even saying that there is necessarily anything Acre, Occctian and Kekistanis should do about it, but that was what dominated some of the early battles.
That said, rosters seem to be getting a bit more even, and a bit more reliable. Unsurprisingly, this has lead to better battles and makes us feel a good bit more confident that using an army offensively won't be a complete waste that will only result in a 20 minute long battle.
So yes, we'll attack when we get the chance. Despite the fact that even a cursory glance at the strat map seem to show that Occitan and Kekistan (when combined) seems to have an advantage on troops and probably silver as they can trade pretty much uninhibited across the entire map. Perhaps we are just trying to make sure that it will be a fairly even and reliable roster before we attack well organized and numerically superior foe. Take it as a begrudging sense of respect rather than lack of activity.
Granted, I realize that Tristan's posting was probably just shit-posting, but Tristan, at least try add a meme, or funny picture with an added subtext or something. That way I can at least appreciate and respond to a more sophisticated level of shit-posting than my 11 year old would be capable of. Thanks.
