How To Defend Pinos/Pines Fort.

Athens101 · 08-20-2007, 08:41 PM

Now I am not saying I know more about war tactics than the average joe. But being in two wars defending the Pines/Pinos fort all I can say is Absichtspfeil Absichtspfeil Absichtspfeil!!! This is a tactical term generally meaning intended direction of movement of a unit in combat. During the first re occupation attempt today I finally managed to get about six people to go around the back of the fort in order to split the enemy forces. Guess what, it worked. The second battle of today I gave up in frustration. It seems the time honed tradition of attacking full force from one direction a.k.a. throwing bodies at the problem was all anyone wished to do. I literally walked around the fort and stood behind the opposing Sytris forces and killed two before they figured out I was even there. I gave up and logged off after that since I had no wish to partake in the full frontal assault.

Here is a crude digram showing my idea for trying to recapture the fort.

Who are you in-game?? I feel the pain as you did quite irritating. My other irritation are Conjurers who think they are Warlocks...we are in dire need of conjurers who heal, mana, and buff during those battles. There are a few that are outstanding (mostly the upper level ones); however, the newer Conjurers need to play more of a support role - not a combat role.

Okay I agree with both of you but uhmmm you just gave away the idea on all realm fourms

Oh well it will still work just more need to understand it.

As far as the Conjurers who think they are Warlocks STOP IT DOES NOTHING BUT GET MORE PEOPLE KILLED HEAL LIKE YOUR CLASS WAS DESIGNED TO DO!!!

Hello I am Venn a knight a.k.a. walking tin box in game

I don't know if it's my old age (27) or common sense but why don't more people pick up on this. A large problem is trying to explain to the bi-lingual guys/gal <- I refuse to believe more than one girl plays this game

to tell the none English speaking players what to do. Well I should say non English, Greek, French, German speakers. I just don't care to learn Spanish for a video game. I can cover the other three

Unfortunately any kind of advanced tactics in regnum... doesn't really happen. There's much talk of it but it never really happens. I think I was there when you attacked today, I was really surprised someone had taken the initiative

but yeah as a conju you're sorta limited to following other people, not taking the lead.

I think this is something individual clans could really work on but rarely do.

The only slight aside is, with all the area spells there are certain advantages to all being in the same place. but yes some flanking manouvers would make a big difference.

If this is advance then jebus help us!

Advance would be sending 5 or so barbs or knights like and arrow through the attacking force. This would cause the initial split in forces then the 40% would come around the fort behind the force. 8% of that force would be healers to heal those who caused the initial spit and to maintain the force on the opposite side. At that point the initial frontal force should attack to finish the wipe out.

THAT would be advance but not in any on my classes.

Althought i'm from ignis...
well i'm sure lots (or just a few) people thought of that... but there's a serious problem, get people to do it.
everytime i tried to do that on some fort no one came with me or just 1 or 2 people came

almost everybody want a frontal combat (where more people die) when an ambush would be more fun and more deadly for the ones protecting the fort

Shouldn't you post this on ur Realm's website. Then us (Syrtis) and maybe Ingis can find a different way to attack Pinos.
