Forums / In game politics / How did era 41 go

How about we start a new trend.

Instead of the usual "era xy thread" flamefest we could have a representative of each participating KD write a coherent summary of what THEY think they did in the era. Because let's face it, the eras go through and we all have our own views of what/how/when happened and there is also a lot of speculation and assumption involved. This way, we all get a glimpse of what the other side was actually doing, or at least a general idea about it.

Ofc i'm quite aware that it will turn into a flamefest eventually, but at least we could come off with 8-10 summaries that would make for an interresting read.

Anyone up for it? :)

Mmmm....

This is era 47 not 41, just saying...

Was stuck pretty much with 3 players in a stalemate vs Southern KD's. Some Fear players came in to help. whooped their asses. Now I am bored and spamming troops.   That's pretty much it.

Im in RoC and a RoC vice, but I speak for myself and not RoC as a whole.

We came into this era knowing it would be good if placed by kingdoms of similiar sizes, we have great power for our size. But we cant possible defeat what we were up against so many times.

We land and its great, we spot GOTF. Here we plan RoC's revenge!! Then next thing we know DOA comes and attacks us OOP along with GOTF. Talk about rough OOP, i was holding our block and they couldnt get by until i said "this is boring as hell", then i moved out my city to be killed. Hey, id rather fight to die than be a coward and sit in my city with gts and walls. We got killed non the less, DOA and GOTF began to fight, then that died out as they NAPed each other.

From the start of era we had a guy join that was across the map below MAD, above FEAR, and east of FATE. IT was open and none were near, so we all land on him as we die adn he protects us OOP as he has been farming for this. We get going and run into DOA yet again, they come for us. Then FATE attacks us, now its just crazy. I get mailed saying the FATE player did it on his own and it wasnt declaring war. We still fight DOA, we hold them off for a while. I myself had been talking to a FEAR player and was helping them how i could with the war against DOA. Then FATE attacks for real this time and want war. At this point we know we are screwed but our guys on the FATE side have been farming for this day as we knew it to come. So we held off Woody (you suck woody XD) Then he got in but we took the cities back. Here Mr. Goob comes into play yet again (he was the guy here by himself). DOA sees us fighting FATE and they see FEAR moving in, little did they know FEAR was helping us but controlling our blocks as they had stronger armies and we could put everything in 3 blocks north. So DOA mails one of our guys or we mail them, forgot. They sign a CF... At the same time I had been talking with FATE, we decided to end the fighting as we werent going to just be run over like they thought. Here it gets a bit confusing. Goob decided to play both sides of the game, he told DOA he would drop a city for them as they needed one and it cost to much and he but 2 cities. HE told them lets make a deal, FATE was still attacking at this point, and he told DOA. You freeze Woodys army and ill drop as many you want. Here we stopped Woody dead YAY :D. Shortly after that is when we stopped fighting and he went north.

We let each side think we were warring the other, DOA thought we were fighting FATE, FATE thought we were fighting DOA. Each thinking this, we didnt do anything. We moved troops into blocks by both just to show ya know. Then word gets out adn we formally sign a NAP with FEAR and FATE. We stil have our CF with DOA and we dont want to be involved because both sides wanted us to meat shield for them. We said hell no. So we snuck by a DOA block and went north to fight MAD!! Here we had no magic range, but we went anyway. Had some fun then fell back after being beat, FATE then CW our block and here they beat DOA. We then asked for it to be open adn we now once again had access to MAD since DOA had built a block stopping us.

We had a small quarrel with Music as i attacked them. We didnt go to their core or anything, then after MAD was basically gone by us. Me and Mcmax went for GOTF and Music, behind us followed Goob and Bragi! We took a GOTF city letting them we have not forgotten, Goob and Bragi are attacking GOTF and myself and Mcmax Music.

From what im told, Goob and Bragi went in a 90k mine Goob took from GOTF, Middle Earth had a rather strong bottom HoH army coming at them. But FEAR had done them a favor they arent aware of. they took his last mine making him -1.2mil income was it? So his moral began to drop and his troops die. At first Goob had 1% and i dont know Bragi percent. The tick before Middle Earth moved off, Goob had 78% or so and Bragi had 87% i think it was, cant remember what Goob told me. So Goob then left everthing but his knights. And moved to catch up and hit him at 82%. He won and then chased him to the city he bounced to and they are currently on the move.

Thats my view of RoC this era.

As for the rest of everything, DOA. Sorry we didnt help, but we werent going to be the meat shields :)

FEAR/FATE nice job.

Also, DOA if your guys (not gonna point anyone out) with the blocks by where Jennaside setup had moved out and killed her sooner you would have avoided this maybe, when you saw her second 500k moving in, you should have took out the first.

From what im told, everyone now is fighting DOA, a bit lame i do say. Isnt FEAR and FATE enough, then im told Relentless declares on them? I thought that was a low move. But all for a reason i guess. GOTF is pretty much dead im told, we trying to pick up a few cities from them though.

MAD, great fighters. By luck this era.

Forgot to say, RoC was bored a lot thanks to DOA!! So we sat around and didnt do anything besides for a couple of us, we have rather strong armies, but with DOA holding blocks its hard to get at our enemy and now that FEAR and FATE have them, its to late anf far to move.

Zondervan

Anyone from FATE/GOTF/Relentless/MAD/(sigh)FEAR care to chime in? The Roc read is interresting :)

23:36:09 Jun 24th 10 - Grumpy old Bastard:

Not a vice or have anything to do with the leadership for DOA, but would like to place my narrative to what I saw from the two fronts I was involved with.

We set up on the western front of RoC and went oop with 6 or 7 of us given the task to the oop attack on them. I was straight mage this era and basically covered the moves of my teammates. RoC put up an incredible defense against us and cost me a considerable amount of mages and mt’s   to bring them down. About half way through the oop with RoC, GoTF showed up and began to war with us. This lasted for a number of days, trading cities back and forth until we were told of a NAP between us and GoTF. To which we finished off RoC (great fight you guys….impressive early defenses).

From here I marched for days to get to where we were warring PoFF. The team attacking them was well into killing them off and I set my 90k MC a little early I think, right on the Fear PoFF border. After killing off the rest of PoFF, I covered my team mates as we set armories. Twice we were able to infiltrate Fear’s bridge block, but poor communication or just bad luck we didn’t get far, more harassment than anything. Pretty much held to a stalemate until the last week when they had finally amassed enough armies to make their push. For the most part from there on, I have just been a minor irritation to them.

I have to say, that it has been a pretty exciting era, minus the several weeks of the stale mate. RoC put up a great fight. The back and forth with Fear was challenging. For now, I will just continue to irritate as many of the many times many KD’s that are gobbling us up as I have mu’s to do so. Won’t fet into the BS flaming because we all have our own opinions, just hope to see everyone in the next era and that it too is as fun as this one.

I have been spending my entire era speculating why the kd MAD exists. Why dos theese same players pop up in the kd every era. Simo, Nate, Ryan, Niques, Alysous etc. It is guarantied, next era they are still going to be there. I dont get it. 

@ Deno well I also have no clue, why they always play together, maybe they like their kingdom the way it is ????

Maybe they have achieved there something they are proud about and want to keep it alive, who knows :D.

More then this I wonder why there are soooo many of the skilled players (ofc not all) who can only play this game in big kingdoms full with other skilled players and are not trying out something new and maybe challenging ????

This is something I wonder each era about ^^.

@Chriss yeah obviously there is a loyality bind that comes from somewhere, that keeps them together. 

We partied till Venomz showed up and crashed the party with his unfriendly friends. :P

Not sure.  It wasn't us.  Unless he wanted to join and that was his way of making friends.  LOL

And yet I could care less about what you or anyone else thinks about Mant, so shut ya mouth, and I really dont give a f...k about you or any of your so called vets as all I ever see you do is act and play like little children.

Well said Doomhammer

Thank you, but I think Mike said it better... and yeah, nobody cares about Mantrax LOL

Sir Ophiucus:

Sounds like you had a fun round on mantrax! Fanta is basically a blocker vs blocker fight all era long so its nice to see there's still some action somewhere!

Dont listen to the haters, in the end the only opinion that matters when it comes to your enjoyment here is...well yours:P

GJ Glads!

Era as i glimpsed it:

- era start with lotsa OOP fights, everything is actionpacked and fun, i farm with a specific goal in mind

- OOP wars slowly die off, frontlines are established, naps formed, trenchwars ensue, people start losing interrest, i start cursing because i made a fatal mistake

- Most people farm up while holding blockers, levels of interrest drop significantly, i hiss and spit sulfur at the thought of Zeta and what he did to humans

- Some sort of mess ensues around RoC as they play all sides to stay alive (pretty obvious considering they live in the midst of 3 rather strong KDs, some of us cry to bump them, others say meh leave them, they get left alone. Relentless are on the move by that time, GOTF fall pretty heavily vs them

- FATE move out, MAD offer far less resistance then expected, a rather fun hoppetyhop follows, we do this and that, they do the same, sooner then later they walk over what we have there considering the utter lack of activity the blockerthumping brought on, forum wars ensue after i dump my accumulated gold into troops in case FATE do get far enough considering i'm basically sending them kisses into ex MAD core

- FEAR send EZ out, our guys give chase, era is basically over, nobody really gives a shit anymore, Relentless are scooping up whatever they can in the far east, FATE sort of linger around the MAD core knowing they cant really get anywhere given the short amount of time left, dragons fly, so do speculations, a few people get their panties in a twist and this is where i say "see you all next era" 

Random: Don't ask. I'm still embarassed. I overlooked 1 magic sci upgrade in my calcs, did everything by the book, the landpump went smoothly, then i went for magic upgrade and when i was going from 7-8 i was like "hmmm, wait a minute, something is wrong here..." lol

I think i was about ready to punish my keyboard for that brainburp :)

So much for humans and me, i was hard set on taking elf, but then i let myself be persuaded (you know who you are, i r gonna haunt your nightmares for it!) and took human. You can imagine how annoyed i was hehe but eh, one does what he can with what he picks so i turned to StG *Shrug*

Mind you a dragon with a human is still doable, but pointless, considering the amount of resources that would go into it (had them on hand at a certain point...). lvl 10 magic for hums is simply not viable.

Sorry I forgot ROC.

@Evil

Am i invited to party next era?

Heres what I saw. I wont go into detail on Ohm's side as I only saw small bits over there and he pretty much covered it.

Oh and thanks to MAD of course, and their mage. I even had him cast some stuff for me too.

I'll go mage. against you

Roawr

how you have grown Deno from the little orc who failed on my tashkent all those eras ago... :)

i remember the former leader of Boom telling me you would really make a name for yourself and even an era win is possible. so i wait with interest....we will be sharing fanta next era so will be interesting either way. :)))

Deno: Welcome to my world. Income that could topple worlds, but nowhere to put it except for the big income towns, which ofc would effectively kill me.

Luckily ive set up two colonies on your side, and let them accumulate peasants all the time, so when the time came i was at least able to dump in 3-400K mus and mess around a bit. Being mage sucks if you ask me, too much lugging peasants and slaves around to get those bloody mu's needed...

Ironically enough, i blew most of my mu's on a whim, as i wanted to test out a spell that i havent seen casted in ages, and ofc the effect was 80K lost per succesfull cast with 0(!!!) effect lmao... that took the cake for me... But then again, at the time you were swarming all over the place already so it didnt really matter anymore. I knew that if you came into the core youd get smacked as by that time a bulk of my troops already came in, and beyond that who cares what happens, considering the era was about to end.

All in all, a weird uneven era, excitement wise...
