Ok, it took me a while but here it comes... the storry of a pillager going to rule r4
It all started with my brother of arms Naylrod who told me he is going to play just the pillager the upcoming era and if i would be interested to join his alliance and share the fun and so i did
Sadly Naylie didn´t have the time to play serious
due to the hard job gowing an future Avengers leader and future pillage marshall
A great idea of Naylie was to call every single player in our alliance Pill – PiII – PiIl – PilI and the alliance age so it would allways appear in the battle reports as Pill (age) i´ve got to say i laughed my ass off about that word play
but unfortunately i had started Berserkers allready and didn´t want to drop the acc because B is just me
But just in case we would find other freaks who will join the fun we created the other 3 accs as well but thats another storry i will post something about later
It all seamed pretty easy for start with, just build an army asap and get the job started after a couple of days pillaging everyone around me the real fun started... all sorts of “hate messages” arrived, mostly in turkish or cyrillic just as usual
We desided to answer these messages with random crap like “daddy i want a horse” (my favorit) or “grandma is that you”
and some youtube vids like
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRlj5vjp3Ko and our friends from alliance pussycats got this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBdSqk78nHw&feature=PlayList&p=BD73A29EA187A274&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=77 and for our non english spooken spammers we send this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyJoVpL-Cl4 that was just REAL FUN
Some ppl got mad at me and told me they will kick me out of the game and kill my army and all that BS, but of course just broken promises, i´d like to say hi to pharo, getin and renis here
, just to mention a few of all those guys who quitted the game instead of making me quitt
So the pillage went on and my honor hit the ground (starting moral 50) and then i got a lot of msg saying something like “know you´re done... you can´t attack anymore” well, i proofed them wrong and usually just pillaged them again
I just had to send a few archers and they killed that 1 spearmann and so there was no escape for the so innocent villagers
Meanwhile i build up my defense, money was never a problem, actually it was sometimes real hard to spend it... just border, high lvl fortress asap, fortification, range attack and so on... nobody could pass my border (lvl 19 at the end) and after a few guys died on my walls nobody really had the balls to try it for a long time... i was the first with lvl 7 fort filled with elite archers at 7k net points
I heard from friends that almost the entire realm was begging the “big” guys to kill me but they obviously had better things to do or were scared to loose their army on my walls
Pretty soon i run 8 armies raping 24/7 everobody in my x3 range... full in panic ppl meesaged each other
to find out how to stop me and they came up with the idea to put a few troops (preferably horses) on the field and set up the army for fight instead of retreat, thinking they were save
well, sorry guys... wrong again...
depending on the type and how many troops they had on the field i just send enough archers with my army to kill them or i just send a field battle only with archers first and my glory pillagers arrived minutes later and killed everything that moved, well 20% of them
Renis even sent a msg to almost the entire realm (must have cost him several hours)
saying that just 50 light archers would stop me...
i bet the ppl who actually tried that were pretty much pleased with this genius advice
when they found their troops killed and villagers raped
Now all of the sudden ppl were wondering and some of them actually read the manual (maybe for the first time ever) and found out that archers attacks before melee takes part... well, congratz guys you found a key...
so they started just to put archers on the field but by then i already had elite archers which starts the battle even before archers or heavy archers... so they were due to die again before they even realised whats going on
The hate msg never stoped and ppl were chearing when i reached the 0 starting morale thinking my soildiers would run... but guess what... they fought as hell and killed vilagers all over r4... at the end my starting moral was less than -600
Ppl put more and more troops on their fields and i sent more e archers with my army or sometimes even more than 15 k e archers for field battle in waves so they would end up with under 50 troops and when my pillagers arrived they run ... if that wasn´t enough i just ask my friends (yes folks, i´ve got some) to kill the field army for me
and i went over for a visit right after that
I secured no1 spot in milli ranking and got bored because i saw none who might challenge me, and then Randy started fighting and klimbed up the ranking...
we had a chat sometims knowing that it would be me or him and we even shared some information but mostly to fool each other...
i tried to convince him to attack renis or presli or even some of my friends from guardians and passed that information
hoping he would really do that and get killed but he never did and i allways got the feeling that he knew what i was trying
So the race was open and i worked my ass off to keep randy behind me, i even toke the no1 spott back a few times when he passed me but then i had to go due to family stuff and my dear friend Naylie took over my acc and did a great job sending my troops an missions with his boss in his neck at work
and his wife in his neck at home
... thanks mate you kept me in the game for 2 weeks
i came back with 2 weeks to go and randy might have thought that he is save on no1 so he hit vac mode and i build a huge army and scored like hell plus i piled up as much money as i could in my main prov to attract ppl to attack me
and they came for the millions and most of them died on my walls
i think only presli and kleopatra managed to break my defense but i didn´t care i scored a lot of MP and 24 hours later i had another 10 millions in my main prov
this went on for a while and i came pretty close to randy again
i would have loved to see your face randy when you came back from vac
we fought head to head and he got a pretty good lead again and hit vac mode again... same shit different day... i came real close again with only 2 days to go and from this moment on it was pure gattering MP whatsoever and in the last night he had about 1k MP lead and i just run my armies as hell
a few hours to go and he had a lead of 200 points and i made a couple of last attacks and got about 400 MP from it but there was one problem... i didn´t know when exactly the era ends, i thought it was 9.00 am
so i congratulated randy for his victory (i wanted him to feel save)
and went offline, knowing that i only have to get online again and my already earned MP would be generated
i checked the standings all the time in offline modus and wanted to login between 8.00 and 9.00 so my MP would count and i would pass randy and he had no chance to make those points in the time left
BUT I WAS FU***NG WRONG
the era ended 8.00 and when i logged in i spilled my fu***ng coffe all over the compu and almost got an heard attack “the era has ended and the next era will start soon”
I was so pissed off i went strait to the next bar and got fu***ng drunk
i couldn´t believe it... i really worked my ass off for this and it was only a matter of minutes and i missed it
It really took me a couple of days to get back to normal
but now i can say this era was my greatest victory as well as my worst fail... neverless i came second in mili ranking
i became marshal as a pillager
and i kicked out a lot of players this era and most important I HAD A LOT OF FUN
Congratz to RandAiThor to the victory you deserve it mate and sooooooo many thanks to my friends who helped me through the era especially Naylrod, gharn, ophelia, silvydave, poki, viracoccha, ghibon, agony
and i hope i didn´t forget anyone and if so then i´m real sorry
Also thamks to hotzeitiger, tinodunks sv_iv (at the beginning) and so many others who kept me awake during long nights with some cool conversations
I know this era wasn´t as competitiv as before but this doesn´t mean anything, in fact if there would have been more good players arround and more wars it would have been even easier for me since there were more targets and noone would have left troops on the field during wars
After all i can say that i´ve learned a lot this era and next time i play the pillager this knowledge would give me an advantage and i´m pretty sure i would be able to win the milli ranking PLUS even the net point ranking
I´m a pillage marshal and know how to do it, so be prepered guys in r1, i might come over there one day and wipe your asses
