I have no authority either (outside of my own clan) and I try to provide tactics but alas most end up charging a fully occupied lvl 4 fort. This kinda goes along with the fact that Alsius needs to remove their heads for thier badonka-donk.
An example today at trelle. Two alsius locks terrord a single knight
Those of us who have played the game for a long time can explain tactics but it does little good if no one listens. However, they have a right not to listen and do whatever they want however they want to have fun.
I suppose the approach I should take is:
1) Not worry so much about the realm anymore
2) Just have fun with my clan
Outside of that I'm getting too irritated with lack of forethought from many and lack of participation in realm related things (like taking a fort back).
Tell you what though - if the dragon or thorkul spawned at trelle I bet the entire realm would come out of the wood-works.
