King's Tourney #1

But what about alliances with large numbers of new players?

OK, I began compiling this report at midnight server...

North Flag:

Unoccupied.  mCrow (h8tedoak) killed off Rymis using Attack order.

 

Northeast Flag:

H? continues reinforcing

 

East Flag:

GOON continues reinforcing.  A small Peace army challenged.

 

Southeast Flag:

Dlord continues reinforcing.  2 smaller VIC armies hit...but 6 Dlord armies arrived as reinforcements between those VICs.

 

 

South Flag:

Over 150K casualties

4 VIC armies hit within 3 hours.  That's a significant tightening of army arrival by VIC.  These 4 armies caused 28,326 casualties.

 

Let's recognize AH alliance for showing their colors here!

 

Southwestg:

L W O hits with 8 armies in 6 hours.  There's some planning going on there.  :)

 

Let's recognize these alliances for showing their colors here - of all flags, I mean come on...These alliances are showing they intend to compete:

 

In addition to L W O

Ana

Beer!

ARR

 

West Flag:

A small GOON army (Faya) died here.  Curse (Tanis) makes a move and captures the flag!

 

This flag attracts smaller armies.

 

Northwest Flag:

Curse continues to reinforce.  FDU (JCD64) makes a valiant showing, as does =CE=.

 

Let's recognize the competitive spirit these alliances are showing.

 

I'll say that again...HUZZAH to all the alliances participating in the tourney, most especially to those alliances that know their only reward is showing their alliance's colors.  That's serious competition.

...or contributing clearing attacks in exchange for goods and services rendered by other competitors.  And that brings to light an important note, that players who can't compete can still profit, and not just via trade.  Last I checked, there were no rules against cooperative agreements or hiring mercenary alliances to help clear the way.  This might also prove a more sensible explanation for VIC's choice of strategy.

Suffice it to say Harmless is not counting our chickens just yet.  We may not even know who is our real competition.

Pretty much wrong... there are 203.2 total possession days remaning (with only 44.8 passed) in this tournament as of right now, imo it can still go any way, especially given there are several big alliances that didn't make an appearance while everyone else is killing off their troops.

As for tactics and/or conspiracy/mercenary theories....
We never worked as mercenaries (at least since I know), and won't do in near future!
Just look on the map, look where our town are, and then try to find out what were the nearest forts to attack... fine, think you all had math in school

Now I just heard of an inbound attack on a member of Invictus, so why?
I just thought H? is happy with us sending them training material, I wonder why noone brought up the theory of us working together with H? to train their commanders 

So let's stay just fair in this game, and keep all action at those forts, please
