ED (5) v/s The U (#8)

[Chrystal Palace]

we end war with emeriti and go into eowcf knowing Ed is just sitting their pumping and waiting for us. I mean i dont blame them if they gonna beat us, right after eowcf is the perfect time. so we prep accordingly. i get all depressed and upset that we lost a winnable war to emeriti and disappear for like 3 days of eowcf. all the while ED takes our intel twice a day. clearly they are trying to learn how to prep in eowcf because they are so bad at it. so we finally leave eowcf and go into fort automatically. we suffer a few hits which is what we expected but we thought we were going to war. they stop at giving UF. we are ok with that. we just MS a few key provs for a few hours at a time.

we suffer a cow hit for 320 acres. that really hurt us. i mean i dont know what we will ever do. our smallest halfer took the brunt of the beating but we kind of set him up for that. so

we are still waiting for ED to show us how we should have given button into their fort the last time we warred. alas they taught us nothing except what to not do. they decide its a good idea to break off and go into fort because they have no gc. i mean seriously dudes. how you guys not have any gc when we were in war for 2 days and then eowcf for 4 days thats 6 days of prep you had and only splored a cow.

i am finding it hard to understand how a kd is so bad and still in the top 5.

anyway they went fort so we popped out of fort and this happens.

Your forces arrive at Hottentotten (x:x). A tough battle took place, but we have managed a victory! Your army has taken 994 acres! 714 acres of buildings survived and can be refitted to fit our needs. We also gained 3684 specialist training credits. Taking full control of your new land will take 16.00 days, and will be available on March 20 of YR7. 29 peasants settled on your new lands.
We lost 4,347 Berserkers and 2,599 horses in this battle.
We killed about 10,886 enemy troops.
Our forces will be available again in 16.00 days (on March 20 of YR7).

10866 dead troops. that had to have hurt seeing as they have no shinies. anyway we are preparing to have a long hostile. well unfriendly. because they are the bigger kd and should give button. their rules not ours.

Sounds like fun. You sure they(ED) weren't donating?

Don't be one of those eowcf 6th Sense types, Emeriti might be slicker than they let on.
I hate being the aid pusher and all the kingdom is MIA or going cold turkey. Ingrates.

You must be really proud of that hit seeing you posting it here. Have you never made any hits in the 1k region before?
I play in none of the kds involved, so I won't take side. But I'm fairly sure I saw posts about CP bouncing his cow hit last war vs ED. And a couple of starvation hours?
Didn't chick magnet get hit down to 4.7k acres, mainly because of extremely nooby cow play? I might be wrong...

Anyway good luck to both kds!

[StratOcastle]

They gotta learn somewhere.

EDs been around so I expect, even with poor activity, some decent strategic conduct.
I'm wondering if the U follow a predictable path, or if they circumvent top lore and surprise us?

As for bouncing; I think most of us are at a point where we know when we might bounce. Then the decision comes down to if it's worth the gamble(if it's big)?) or is it non-vital and the kills are cool if we miss(?).
Sometimes, in the inactive ghetto, it's better to get your troops out with no intel rather than sitting and waiting. I hit this guy once with elites home because I knew his elites were home, not because I thought I could break him.

[Chrystal Palace]

ummm you are wrong. it was EDs cow that was starving. Also i never bounce. like ever. and i was never 4k acres. i was down 2k acres and then i was in the positive when they wd. But that was last war. and the attack had nothing to do about acres. it was the kills. and how about this one?

Your forces arrive at Hottentotten (x:xx). A tough battle took place, but we have managed a victory! Your army has taken 474 acres! 321 acres of buildings survived and can be refitted to fit our needs. We also gained 1362 specialist training credits. Taking full control of your new land will take 14.00 days, and will be available on April 11 of YR7. 366 peasants settled on your new lands.
We lost 3,343 Berserkers and 2,112 horses in this battle.
We killed about 10,077 enemy troops.
Our forces will be available again in 14.00 days (on April 11 of YR7).

thats 21k kills so they def have to give button soon.

So if ED is a bad kingdom and they manage to win honor crown last age, what does that make CP that didnt manage to win anything?

Ed waved smaller kingdoms last age to win the honor crown. Hitting high honor tms and staying out of war range. That's how they won the honor crown and even then Spartans could have won the honor crown if they wanted. Not saying they aren't a good warring kingdom but winning the honor crown the way they did doesn't mean much.

[Korp]

what did they win this age? and last age i do believe CR won the honor crown seeing as how half of CR was there. try again korp.

OMG DID CR TRIPPLE CROWN?! Holy ****, Didnt answer the question though, what does it make you?

You sound bitter, did they smack you around? What matter is winning not how you win it. And we all have heard about "We could have won but we didnt want" like your imaginary crowns and how you used to be this badass utopian ;)

Spartans also got their dragon gc from CR last age so you think they are angels?

no one is innocent.

Don't understimate Parth. He's keeps getting underestimated but is one of the best players/tacticians in the game.

Off-topic:
The honor ED gained from warring alone would've been enough a normal age, but last one lasted 15 weeks so we had to resort to some waving/randoming. After all, Honor crown is about... collecting most honor? Just as land crowns is about collecting most land.

Rhetoric question: Do you value CR's likely crown the same way, with BB having signed a non-competition just as Spartans did and various KDs have been taxed?

I respect ability, but I don't value crowns.
So my take is that CR can earn their crown, but the activity is a matter of diplo. In EDs case, it's not that I don't repect the leadership, it's that I'm not sure they could've mustered the core activity to seal the deal vs Sparta.

That said, I believe a crown is a crown, I just don't value them.

Edit of Legitimacy: I adopted in range of ED. You must understand that the crown was granted by those who chose not to engage.

Not to go off topic as it's very much ifs/buts, but ED last age probably had the best lineup they've had since we started playing again with 6-7 players who could/did lead from both ED/RK of old and our core was more active than I've ever seen with those who've left and still playing all going to KDs doing very well this age.

This isn't to slag off Spartins who I'm sure are a very good KD, but if ED had of gone for #1 land/nw they could have easily achieved it (assuming navigation through the whole diplomacy dancing was done correctly), ED also held tactical advantage over Spartins for pretty much the whole age meaning that any engagement would have been in EDs favour on paper as well which I'm sure played a part in them agreeing to terms of CF.

ED last age was far better than this age due to the simple fact that having a lot of people with the time and skill to lead is obviously a great asset, it also takes time for new people to settle so filling almost half a KD in 7 weeks isn't a simple task (last age new people had played together in many cases).

I don't think anyone this age has said ED is amazing (despite CP trolling about it), I think most ages we aren't as I compare to past SKs, but we're better than most and in a game this small that's all you really need to play some type of role.


Protector -



Maybe you could get some of this from a local pharmacy.
