Does this mean I can attack black flag now?

Hamish, both our KD's settled thge particular area you are refering to at about the same time. My own towns had been there for quite a while before you declared a "border" that suddenly put them in your supposed territory. If you expect me to vacate those towns, be prepared to offer monetary reparations.

Honor is a currency and VU seems to be currently poor, its also a medium to long term messer of the effectiveness of a kingdom. As can be seen for the HOH the kingdoms am having issues with are losing and will lose faster as there dishonorable actions pile on top of each other. Its simple if you want good allies you behave in good ways. And the opposite is true, you reap what you sow.

Hamiush due to your dishonrable actions of expanding rapidly into POOF core and refusing to join the worlds fight i demand you either wreck the cities in my land or allow me to B&D them. The cities in question are Beer, Edtroil, Serenlios, Penstros, and Dark Cave

Mr Jerk, there is a quite clear line in the area in question. It is a mountain we, Poof, have settled around and conquered towns around. There is one city that could be judged "out of bounds" but the city in question is not being built in. There really is no reason to imply Poof lack honor, especially since Black Flag did not make their intentions clear until after said towns where taken/built.

Hamish's English skills have vastly improved since he was leading BF to back to back victories against LGC.

Sadly, POOF's warring skills haven't. They blow. In more ways than one.

Isn't Hamish known to kick out his members and take their cities over night, claming later they were inactive?

Swifty has always prefered the pen over the sword. It used to be entertaining, now it just comes across as bitter.

Yeah...Zeon what happened? you guys were so strong early on.. never thought this.. would have happened, I would like to formally take back my application to Zeon.. 

maybe zeta should think about making war more profitable, that way kds like poodles and MAD will think twice before trying to farm their way to a win. its not good for the game when kds play like that, i dont think anyone is find this fun.

Wonder what the above looked like before MAD and Poodles joined the fight ;)

You made a suggestion that war should be more profitable. So I made a comment in general, that VU wars are profitable, as when you defeat your enemy you take war spoils and grow that way.

Fact is that Poof is not helping Zeon down south, maybe they are busy farming in the BF core

Seems Zeon is not getting any help from Poof while there core is being eaten from the south


you expect Poofs to cover Zeons ass down south and fight up north? out of all 4 KDs Poofs were in the weakest position

clueless kobu as usual, keep to what youre good at, exploiting and crying on the forums.

He's just angry that I kept my army at home to bounce him instead of running south and opening the way for easy gains. ^^

whenever you devote resources to the training and upkeep of troops, you will very rarely capture enough land to make up for the land you could have built had you not trained those troops. this is when even though you may have stomped your enemy oop, the kd sitting a tile away farming up will always have an upper hand on you.

this is neither good or bad, it depends how you feel the game should be played, and i feel it should be more about fighting and less about farming. eras drag on because of farming and ppl get bored and quit

that could potentially fix the problem, but im not certain its the best solution as it restricts gameplay and removes ppls freedom to farm if they still want to.
I think what the game needs is to simply incentivise fighting by making it more profitable.

a suggestion would be to reinvent the use of slaves so that they become much more valuable to the point where they could sell on the market above what anyone would gain from farming. and as you know, slaves can only be obtained by fighting or purchasing them from someone who has been fighting.

im not sure how you could make slaves valuable without introducing GWs. great walls can slow an era down in their own way though so im not sure theyre a good option. perhaps make them into a currency for buying sciences? even farmers need to buy sciences. look at how mili and magic sciences effect the tree market, even for dwarfs

would the slaves be expended or would they be reusable?

the same die process that led to me losing 9 consecutive anger casts on you between 50-59% each? nah i think ill pass :d

you know, every era after era its the same thing, someone complaining about someone farming. This is an economy based war game. Even when a kingdom known for oop wars ends up in good position to farm farm up, they are crucified.

The people currently discussing how to stop farming have been in the kingdoms doing the farming, but this era they are not in the kingdom doing it. Its a double standard, and not worth the endless debate and complaints. If a drastic change was made to this game to force wars, then more changes need to be made, some races are better off in war then others, how is that going to affect things? the amount of halflings and orcs would be ridiculous.

we all play this game because of the unique entity that it is. why would you want to ruin it?

Does not change the fact that you still don't see any army going south to help Zeon
