I never said my opinion was important, i'm just saying that if UIF stays as it is now, i'm pretty sure there's gonna be another big alliance grouping against them, and it will be a 1v1 big war. And i doubt people want that. If we wanted such a 1v1 war, what would be the point of having multiple factions and all ? For them all(or nearly all) to regroup under two banners to do a big war ? Hell no...
And don't quite this "big clans have a lot of land, so of course smaller clans group up". Since when where the DRZ a small clan ? xD
And finally, don't give me this Pub Crawl was boring bullshit. I think it was rather interesting. After seeing, boringly, the templars being crushed by an alliance of clans.
And even if Pub Crawl wasn't that RP, at least :
-It tried to be. Let's drink in all taverns.
-It consisted of clans who were friendly with each other, and since a pretty long time.
I never ever saw one RP reason for you all to form UIF.
But enough with this one sided discussion, i don't care who the DRZ are allied with, or whatever, as you don't care about us.
I'm saying that if UIF stays as it is, or gets even bigger, then strategus will get boring, since you all act like one.
Then again, strategus is less going to be a risk game, but with more option, so much more interesting.
To be honest, the reason why the Crusaders of Acre became friends with the UIF was because of 2 reasons:
1: Because they showed us kindness by helping us, a new and smaller clan, out.
2: We quickly seen the world coming to 2 sides, as you said. I seen our new neighbors as a threat that might have wiped us out "just because", and wanted to preserve my faction as best as I could.
So... you're right about this two-sided thing. However, with a billion clans forming every day, there are new threats. On the other hand though, you have the Northern Empire and the Mercenaries, who are some of the largest clans (land-wise) on Strategus. They're extremely powerful because they've been hoarding all of their troops and gold. Maybe some theme battles here or there? Naaaah, that's BORING.
My point is, that with all these huge ass clans that are neutral, not doing any kind of battles, THAT'S what makes strategus boring. The two sided world war is boring as well, but nobody else will step in. Neutrality is good, yes, but it gets boring after months upon months, upon months of it.
The UIF is fighting because if they were like everyone else, they would be bitched at just the same as they are now. Just saying... neutrality is good, but not when EVERYONE does it ALL the time.
