lol well played...been following that whole thing...pretty much awesome

Hey, you should throw your name in to get an invite key if you haven't already.

[Shooer]

Ok seriously, Sol only has 5 hunters defending it.  How has it not fallen and been drafted into a massive mob yet?

[Brotato]

For real?  Alright, screw this I'm going for Sol!  Time to finish Silverfire once and for all.

Thanks for the suggestion :p i am Masochist on the forum and I run the Prasutagus family. I tried to take one of your settlements before that was implemented to the south with some new characters. Quietly biding my time.

[PanH]

Could someone do a general report ? I'm not really sure about what happens, other than Silverfire whining about enemies hiring his lost peasants to fight him.

[Brotato]

He's basically lost the war.  His capital is ours and his forces are splintered.  Now all that's left is to hunt down his remaining vassals.


EDIT:  Just got a message from him asking to surrender and swear fealty.  I need some advice on whether or not I should accept.

[revo]

so brotato was it you taking my name and using gigantic peasant armies?

[PanH]

I guess you're Lanyon then.

[Gervassen]

It'd ruin the arc of story if we knew the identity of the man in black. He's the dread pirate Roberts! A magnificent bastard, imo.

My issue with a surrender is... can you get an unconditional surrender? What are the terms? Giving Silverfire respite with poorly-defined "surrender" and expecting him to sit tight as a loyal vassal while you rule part of his lands would be like the bad peace of WWI leading into WWII.

[revo]

The use of massive peasant armies kind of spoiled the fun of the alpha for me. Now I'm really just in it to go through the tech tree. I believe that the use of that game mechanic was very unsportman like and ruined a good war.

[Gervassen]

A "good war" that began at midnight so your opponent would be in bed and unable to respond? Ebonheart woke up to three towns fallen with only token resistance from his tiny garrisons. How much fun was his alpha? Did you ever think of that while you and Silverfire were giggling at midnight over battle plans to launch a two-on-one night-time assault against an unsuspecting smaller neighbor, Mr. Sportsman?

But that was when you were riding high, tripping on your power and elated with your clever strategies. Now you yourself are in that weak position, and only now does it become unfair and "spoiling fun".

This is why you can't make peace with these dogs, Brotato. They will never accept responsibility. They feel entitled to win at any cost, and then whine when it backfires.

Honestly, I would say take it to RP/IC instead of OOC... but it is Alpha.  So instead, I should say it is Alpha.

Kind of the purpose of us to test and break things for Tom to take a gander at and fix/tweak... so someone's fun won't be spoiled like so when it finally becomes stable.

[Gervassen]

Stop spoiling fun, Zangi. I usually don't do the IC/OOC thing well, and I find that most people are actually the same way, despite what they say. Strange concept that never really works in actuality. At any rate, what is OOC when we are all a bunch of internet personas with no physical reality?

[PanH]

I'm pretty sure that you'd get a plotting for your demise kind of vassal with a surrender.

How so ? What prevented you to use peasant armies ? It sounds kinda normal that so early in the game, the most common soldiers are peasants. It's something that was the same for everyone. Anyway, with future features that Tom will implement, peasants armies will have huge disadvantages over soldiers armies.

Edit : In fact, as show by Silverfire battle report from Sol, they are not viable.

@revo, 
No, it was not me.  That's not my style and I put a lot of effort into planning an honest war, not an underhanded gambit with nighttime raids and fake names.

@Gervassen,
I've never actually thought how in a way everything for us is IC, since none of us truly know each other.  But I like to make my characters in M&F distinct with different personalities.  For example: My queen is big into witchcraft and omens.  The King is crafty and underhanded in his dealings with other nobles, but believes in freedom and liberty for the common man.  His younger son is a true warrior with the faith of a child.  The King's brother is a crafty diplomat who would be a master poker player.

In the end, I have to agree.  His vassals may swear to us separately, but Silverfire must be destroyed.
