Limmitations and downtime driving me nuts

[Madchess]

With age comming to a close I feel the need to try something else for once, and rather than randomming into a new kingdom which usually works, I would like to check if there are still kingdoms arround that would be an interesting match for me.

The last 4 Ages I've played with the kingdom named Ages, althougth one age we went with Perceptionists as our name, a decent warring kingdom with more wins than loses, we even teach new players rather than give up on them, and FB chat is a good way to get to know your kd fellors. However we have acre caps and also a long time in between wars, so trying out something else for an age or two is on my mind.

What I'm looking for at the moment would be a kingdom that either aim to war once a week, or who don't mind that I grow between wars, either by randomming or retaling for land.

I'm fearless when it comes to retaling, and this age I've amongst others retaled Emeritis randoms, where as last age Beastbloods randoms got retaled. I've also retaled several kingdoms that waved for resurces one way or another and mostly gotten away with it as I always try to avoid those kingdoms that might be hitting for war if we are not in a good position to war them. But retaling land hits with abducts or plunders can only get you so far, so I would like not to be limmited by an acre cap.

In wars I'm very active, I've had more wars where I was on top for uniques or shared first than wars where I was not, atleast on a ratio 3:1 but most likely higher, last age I made 333 attacks with 300 counting as succesfull, and most not counting as such was ambushes.

I'm a specialist with Orc and Avian and rarely plays other races, I've broken 10k acres on the genesis server a few times and 7k on a regulair one all without exploring, and in recent years I've even held a no explore/no paradise approach that means for the last 2 years of this game I've explored a grand total of 0 acres.

To sum it up what I look for is this:
A kd dedicated to either war or growth, the numbers of players don't really matter anything from 5-25 will do as long as I can pursue a goal.
No acre cap or retal limitations.
Communication from leadership on long/short term goals.
A kingdom with a bold approach to randomming/retaliations.

What I don't like:
Having to be forced to use new tools or communication programs (upoopu, ingame chat and fb chat is all I use now)
Alliances
Specific requirements for race/personality or build or something else. I'm open to suggestions, but the moment you tell me exactly what to do it is no longer me that is playing my province.
Drama kingdoms
Fixed wave dates (we use that now, but I would get more uniques with army in-out, atleast in long wars)

If you think your kingdom would match what I'm looking for or mostly match it, and you want me aboard please send me a pm and we can discuss further.

You want to be in a kingdom that wars once a week, but also a kingdom that gives you adequate time to do stuff oow? So between minimum 2 day war, 3 day eowcf, and 2-3 day fort prep when do you plan to do these other things you love?

PS - with the attitude of.. let me summarize it as.. "Don't tell me what to do, and let me play any selfish way i desire" I don't see any kingdom aiming to war once a week desiring that mentality. Also retaliating against big kingdoms, though sounding good on paper, can get small kingdoms aiming to war a lot in a lot of trouble. Can you imagine being a monarch using a substantial portion of their day planning out how to make a kingdom successful, and asking kingdoms to war, and then because of one rogue province retaliating against the likes of sparta (who have been known to raze small kingdoms to the ground if retaliated against enough) then you not only ruin your kingdoms chances at warring, you also get into an unneeded retaliation war that could end up with all your kingdom seeing their names green.

Anyway, good luck with what you are looking for, but there is a very low chance that you will find a kingdom that is both good, and lets their provinces do rogue actions. If your current kd lets you do those things, I recommend staying there.

Why did you even reply if you read it like that?

I just say if there is to long between wars or not enougth wars I prefer to grow in between wars and to stand up for my kingdom or myself if targetted, also a bit split between trying out a war kingdom and a growth ghetto I know full well you can't do both at the same time.

You sound like you are the one of us that has the most against Spartans, I just dislike them a bit for beeing another drama kingdom so it would really be over the top for them to come razing over a retal if nothing else went down, razing provinces to the ground takes time from when you could otherwise be occupied pursuing your goals.

What james is trying to say is the kingdom you are looking for doesnt exist.

Kingdoms who war as a serious goal are typically highly structured and your demands of no intel site, no outside chat, attack when you want, no wave dates etc.... no serious war kd would take on such a player.

Warring kingdoms that WOULD perhaps accept such a player are the same kind of kd you are already in and looking to get away from.

With your requirements a growth/retirement ghetto is more realistic but in such a kd you will likely not see any war at all. They are the drastic opposite of what you have now. Little to no rules, low activity, grow and do whatever you want.

I sent a message.

[Madchess]

I think I made the mistake to not click on reply to private message and chosing submit did not work that way, or I might have done something else when intending to send it, the hallmark of one who don't use pm's in the forum that much I'm afraid.

Quite excited about this oppotunity, and happy not everyone read my message as trollbait/the crazyness of a looner.

Madchess I would love to have you on board with us at Misery...we are a new formed KD and we are planning to stay full at 25 for next age. Gonna do more warring since that where our background is...but we really also love land so we know where we want to compete at (not ghettolandia). I also really hate randoms so I am always more of a retaliate first...

Also, I am a war leader that does exactly what your looking for per my style and we have met on the Battlefield a few ages ago when I was in Vice n Virtue so you seen me work.

We are looking to replace a few slackers and we can use you if Slack IRC + Stingernet is not a problem.

Let me know, send a PM
