I think a lot of people forget the Devs themselves describe Illy as a sandbox military strategy game...there may be other aspects to the game, but they are not the focus the game is premised on.

Warfare is just one aspect of illy, it is also a social game, a diplomatic game and a farming game. These aspects are just as large as the warfare. Illyriad is a blend of styles, a sandbox game which allows players to choose how they wish to play the game. It's like saying i'm capable of murder so I must be a murderer...

I think you seem to have lost track of what Illy is about...you do realise that a big part of this game is geared for warfare in one form or another yes? If you haven't realised this then you are the one who needs to get your head out the sand....wake up and smell the coffee epidemic, and if you don't like the smell or like what you see go and play Farmville. |

TVM, TCOL DLORDS and H? are peaceful alliances. As peaceful as Vcrow, Ucrow, Ncrow, VICX, DARK, SOON, SHADE. and so on. If you suggested alliances like NC, BANE or BSH are not peaceful I would agree. Edited by bansisdead - 28 Feb 2014 at 22:09 |

It's not bad if you can accept the fact that you surrendered. For you that was acceptable. For those of us left in TVM, it isnt.
To be clear, that entire paragraph is your opinion. TVM was offered assistance, still is and have been backed up on many occasions. Just because that backup was unsuccessful (which wasnt always the case but in the long term didnt stop the "other side" from hitting us, all of us) doesn't discount it. It was there. You are just flat out wrong.
Not according to EE, nCrow, vCrow and Bane, among others.
Huh? We should boot players who aren't here so they won't be sieged? What Illy are you playing? |

I would have made a RL analogy that you wouldn't have been at all good for your argument, but Luna would go bananas if I did, so I'll leave that part alone. 
I've heard that being said in GC about my case as well and was taunted that my alliance supposedly "abandoned" me (which is far from true, unless you guys believe that I can dodge armies while sleeping  ), but any person that has ever launched an army cross-country knows how blatantly false that is. Example. Let us suppose that I want to help you break a siege :
THREE DAYS !!! The siege would have ended well before that time and if you consider the return trip I would have been without my armies for SIX days during which I'd unable to help other allies near me whom I actually had a chance to be in time to help them.  So, that part of the argument is out. Of course, there were players with cities much nearer than myself, BUT you forget the fact that those where ALSO being attacked and where in fact destroyed or forced to move out of that area One look at the current strategic map proves my point even to someone who has not been following the war. So, it is not as if your allies where sipping tea and frolicking in a party while you were being attacked ... they were being attacked AS WELL, so before sprouting allegations be so kind and take into account some facts please.  P.s.

I agree that is all unfortunate, and there is great in-game devastation to all of these alliances. But what you said was, "Lots of peaceful players have been sieged from the game". Who was sieged from the game? And were they peaceful, or fighting? I think those are fair questions to a very serious assertion, and they remain unanswered. Who are they?

I'm a player who surrendered from the war, I'm a ex-TVM member. Surrendering is'nt as bad as people make out, I'm still here and I'm thriving. Leading up to and during the war it was always the other side the "evil side" how wrong was I.
After my surrender I was offered friendship and assistance from the "other side" which is more than can be said for my allies. TVM was given no assistance no backup, were we left out to dry. In my opinion we were left to perish so other alliance's could bide their time and stockpile for the last battle which were now witnessing. It's sadden's me, we had a vision in TVM we belonged to Ursor we had so much more ahead of us. I look at the siege page daily in despair, TVM cities are still being wiped out and it does'nt have to be this way. Alot of them cities belong to player's who are not here to decide their fate. Bonfyr has made the decision to take TVM down that path, that won't change but at least let the player's go who are'nt here to make that decision Bonfyr.

Looks at a devastated TVM, looks at a devasted Tcol, looks at a devasted Dlords, looks at a devastated H?, looks at a devastated NC... I don't like what I see, you might not care, but I do. A player going from 150K+ to 15k is 'siged from the game' in my book. Anybody can still go to the above alliances members list and see for themselves, except of course those who have already abandoned. |
