We all play for fun so it's our choice on where we go and what we decide to do. With that being said, Heglin has the right tactics. Hit the enemy when they have abandonded their own realms leaving them weak and open to attacks. This should be the given tactic for all realms. Even if you can't hold long enough for invasion then you are at least pulling people from your fort to come back and try to recapture their own. This is especially true when we have no gems and nothing to defend. Yes, there is pride in owning your forts but at times pride should be swallowed and the enemy should be punished in other ways.

Would you abandon Meni while defending and run all the way to pinos just beacause they took it?

I doubt it. So I don't think enemies would do that.

Last time it was 10 of us in alga while tons of greens played in trelle and not a single one came to recover until they lost it.

Then you could take Herbred and Eferias too while the greens aren't home. And also take their gems and burn their towns, now you're there.

I hate to say it, but Syrtis is this way too. A few days ago Ignis came and took Efe. We pretty quickly assembled an army of 20 or so and routed them outta there. The instant the last one died, there were two or three of us that screamed to go attack Ignis with the army we had. Instead, a couple stayed at efe and the rest went back to messing around. Then, Ignis took Herb and we repeated the same thing. This time we had 25 or so, and since we already had Imp there were several of us that thought it was a good idea to invade Alsius. But no......less than 10 of us actually went. We took Trelle and endangered Alsius gates all by our little lonesomes......

I am truly tired of realms that do nothing but defend. It seems that Ignis is the only realm to have any initiative - the others just recapture stuff or capture forts just to farm rp for awhile, nothing more.

at trelle fort its a ok fight, even tho were outnumbered. but we can never capture the fort coz a bunch of greens are at the bridge constantly runing back and forth to trelle save killing our people. this army at bridge is bigger than the army at trelle fort.

people leave coz its not even safe to just stand at save anymore never mind fight back or train.

for the 5 people that be there only 3 of them actually fight back and the closest to killing someone is getting one hit in. but its getting better, more people came the other day and we kept pushing them bak till hardly any came back.

wen syrtis takeover they take trelle and most elves live there, so then they can guard the teleport and stop our resources and also can easily supply the elves at the castle thro the teleport. when we take castle back and run to aggers by the time we run to aggers they have taken it back, we need to take trelle and guard it while we take the other forts back.

If we were about to suffer from an invasion I sure would, well if we had any gems I would. If it was just aggers, no but if they held the castle and aggers you better believe it's time to go to defend. But that's just me and I don't play much anymore...

Guys I'm talking about 10 people...

If we had enough people for an invasion, we would have already killed everything on our way (including trelle).

I have to admit is a good idea... but you will need lots of loyalty to keep the Alsius army from attacking and try to direct them into enemy territory.

You absolutely do not get Heglin's idea. Sheesh.

That is just so sad. Needing lots of loyalty for what? Pathetic.Really Pathetic. I can see where your driving at, complete loss.

If you check out, Ignis is the less populated realm right now and the overpower the second realm which is? Alsius.

It's really funny to read that thread. First of all I think Heglin understand the situation quite clearly. When your realm has nothing to loose, you gotta play the offensive card (because it's fun to do it, and because it's the optimal choice).

Where this get funny is that Syrtis has understood that ever since invasion are implemented. When you have a group of 40 people that have captured Eferias and that defend it very well, you'd better attack their forts than defend just your castle. As long as they don't get a fort you are good, if you can get a fort and the castle of your ennemies before he thinks about getting one of your fort, you win. It was really fun to fake the defense of Eferias with 10 syrtis while we were covering for the whole realm attacking all ignis base at the same time. You should have seen them committing suicide at eferias when they did understood what was going on.
