Game Needs More Good kds Competing

[Retailer]

Palem what you mean is that we could have waved rage 2 weeks into the game. Yes that is true. Couldve warred? Nothing is guaranteed... perhaps they wanted to grow / pump / whatever. And the mere fact that you have a short window to war ONE kd. Depending on the outcome of the politics around it or if you get a "bad" war (the one we got with pewpew) then you are falling behind and have to wait until next age to get a chance to war the kd's you wish to war...

As a kd who didnt go top to compete for crowns (we competed for war-wins even before ww-chart was introduced) i personally do no think its worth waiting until next age to "perhaps" if we play our diplo cards right get a war in the beginning.

For the exact same reasons TFC play WE play. And that is fun. I do not think a vast majority of the players in utopia arent having fun. But basically your post is saying that the majority ARENT having fun unless they go competetive. Some thing that prot so clearly is trying to explain to you that you are NOT doing.

Dwarf/cleric last age was a beast.. it saved a lot of building space, it has a good economy and has a very fast army. Cleric's primary tool however, was the soldiers. We managed to prevent a lot of troop desertions with soldiers last age, had we not been cleric this would have been extremely hard to do on the same scale as we did. We actually had excess soldiers once our armies returned the first time iirc.

that is true, the soldiers did help with the desertions, but every dwarf core I fought then had the problem of still being very open every time they had to send out (as they naturally preserved their elites first) and things just kept getting worse for them. I found it very simple to force them into a lower tier NW group and let them stagnate there being outgained by orcs that had been chained. Four chained orcs easily controlled 8 chained dwarves.

I can't comment on differences of play. I only fought BiO and some other KDs ranked in the 20's and 10's. But overall, yeah, the soldier desertion preservation was in some ways "helpful". OTOH, I wonder if in some ways it would, by retention of NW hurt the "lazy wave style" of many war KDs where there are more late wavers than in the KD's that BiO, BB, et al usually war. The retention of NW helps later gaining provinces (probably not enough to worry about is my guess).

And i can guarantee i had phone numbers for ever one of the 24 people in the kd, and know u guys made a moronic mistake. But hey yall dont make mistakes right? After all you are not men, you are lords...

I see GotCha's point although there are not a lot of news reporters around and the ones that are tend to only focus on top wars. Its not their fault though if that's all they're interested in. They do not really get paid or anything it is all voluntary.

Gotcha, your Monarch can post war summaries etc in the forum himself can't he Bishop? Stats don't show Bias-ness

[GotCha]

And i think what palem is trying to say is that ALOT of people fuss about the crowns, but do nothing about it. I could be wrong.

[GotCha]

Touchet american. Will keep that in mind. (Like the states where we were down almost 8k acers and won?) :-)

Though most self written war stories are usually flamed hard core.

And you know this how? Oh wait, you don't. It's pure speculation.

um... language ;)

My language is fine, if it wasn't i wouldn't be using it :/ You guys can say ****.

[American Badass]

How many wars do you see that involves kingdoms outside the top 20 written up by the news team? It wasn't a dig, why be so defensive.

If you have limited resources, which they have, it stands to reason you prioritise articles based on "importance".
