    Arador said dwarven songs are all about ale and forging, so I tried to make sure both are in there.

    You forgot the last quote : 

    You say, "Not worth my time."

    I had other, more important matters to attend to. Hence guards.

    Aurora says, "Tharvis, why are you always breaking things?!"
    Artemis says, "You are so high maintenance, Tharvis, gosh."
    Tecton says, "It's still your fault, Tharvis."

    Girl bye.
  • JovoloJovolo
    I don't understand, were you expecting him to 1v1 you? Did you extend the offer of a duel before jumping into an enemy city?
  • TalysinTalysin
    Its always been a "thing" that it's extremely lame to CFH on one enemy person in your city. It would have been much more fun for both of us to fight. I wouldn't blame him if he CFH'd if he was losing, though.

    Why? What's the point of all those expensive guards if you don't use them?

  • TalysinTalysin
    You know, a sociologist would have a field day with this gaming culture. One day CFH is a nuclear option for raiding, the next its a legitimate tactic for a single individual.

    Eirher way, you should never expect a 1v1 in an enemy city. Even if he didn't call for guards, he could've likely announced to CT that so-and-so was in, and you'll have people showing up to kill you too.
    That would have been much more welcome.
  • JovoloJovolo
    Why would it have been more welcome to have a city team up on you as opposed to one person and guards? That seems arbitrary. You didn't ask for a duel, so he has no obligation to give you one. Especially in the situation where you're an enemy inside his city. 

    If you had challenged him to a duel and then he ganked you, or asked you to come to his city and then called for help, the situation would be different.

    I would have expected a gang of Hashani to gank me, it just felt unsatisfying to have Tharvis immediately call for help. When Santar would jump me in Targ alone I would engage him, I wouldn't just call for help. I guess this is a difference in opinion, but this isnt the first time this opinion has been put forth. You're just being needlessly contrarian.

    There's also the thing that you can't ever know for sure if the raider is truly alone/going to stay alone. I've engaged single raiders on my own many times and more often than not, "single raiders" turned into a group after a few moments.

    And in the cases where the single raider actually stayed alone, he often wasn't out for an interesting fight either, but would just run around the city and be a general annoyance/waste of time.

    A raid really isn't an ideal setting when looking for fair 1v1 fights...

    I was shopping. Rude.
  • TalysinTalysin
    And to be fair, I wasn't looking to 1v1. I was just annoyed athlete immediate CFH, which I still will argue is lame.
  • ZengoZengo
    Uhm, aren't guards supposed to "guard" the city? What is the point of them, if they don't do their job?

    If you are looking for a 1vs1 fight, then why walk into a city?

    Just curious, because I am utterly confused as to the problem here.
  • TalysinTalysin
    Alright alright, back to quotes. Thanks to the community for correcting me on the pendulum swing that is Achaean combat culture.

    I still didn't get an answer.

    LAME.

    Sorry, but you're still completely out of phase with the pendulum. Right now we're swung right over in the "berate Talysin" corner and it will take another while to go back to "post new quotes".

    Since when has Hashan ever been part of the mainstream "combat culture"? Each city can defend their city however they please. Sorry that your expectations were violated, but you don't get to dictate how a city responds as and enemy.
