Since when has not calling guards ever been a part of "mainstream combat culture"? The only people complaining about that are the solo and small group raiders who feel that enemy cities should politely oblige them when they come in to cause trouble.
"There's only 1 of them, I guess I'll just 1v1 him here in my city. Surely he won't just run from me or call his friends." -- said no city defender, ever.
When there's a city enemy in your city, you kill the city enemy in the quickest, most efficient way possible, because the enemy is there to kill you (or escape) in the quickest, most efficient way possible. That could mean bringing a group of 4 of my player allies in, because we're certainly have more potential for coordination, but that requires my player allies to be prepared, attentive, and standing by. When it's a surprise visit by a single enemy that will probably run the moment you make contact, and my player allies might be hunting, might be AFK, might have varying degrees of skill and readiness to respond, where as guards are always on standby and you know exactly how effective they are, the choice is obvious.
I'll never understand why a select minority tries to attach this stigma to city defenders making use of all the resources at their disposal. It sounds completely asinine if you try to apply the same logic to any other aspect of the game. "Why do people always touch shield when I break their limbs? It really takes the fun out of this." "Why do raiders always double-block to stop our beckons? Man up, sissies."
False analogies galore. Perhaps the select minority here is Hashan and Cyrene?
suddenly the abysmal e-reputation makes sense. Oh well, back to quotes
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."
You know, I stand by what I said. I think it was pretty lame of you to press the CFH button. Regardless of whether you and I agree or not, it's depressing to see that you are contributing to the elitist bullying that has made this game so dreadful.
People live in cities. If an enemy enters their home, they are going to defend it.
If you want a 1v1 fight, why the hell do you walk into a city to pick a fight? Why not duel someone? Stand outside the gates and instigate a lonely traveler?
At least the dress was worth it. Next week go back and shop for shoes.

Talk about a tough crowd!
I recommend that you make it more interactive. A few deaths, some executions,
maybe a fight or three to get everybody's blood pumping before you
launch into your address. Perhaps you could include pictures,
graphs, and such as well. Map the progress of Evil as compared to the Cyrenian baked goods profit margin, or the sharp increase in kitten numbers among the Achaean population recently.

A hooked black beak and enormous blue eyes stand out amidst a puff of soft, fuzzy feathers, emphasising the newly fledged nature of this miniature snowy owl. Brilliant white dominates her colouring, punctuated by two small streaks of black on either side of her face. She is an awkward young bird, all eyes and wings, yet there is an uncanny depth to her vivid azure gaze. She is called 'Batholomew / Whom / Hooter / Swooper / Swivel / Squawky / Professor / Cacaw / Hopper / unnamed / unnamed / unnamed.'
[They all look] relatively helpless. [They all have] 100% health remaining. [They all weigh] about 2 pounds and 0 ounce(s). [They are all] loyal to Seftin. You see nothing in [them].

Get allied to a couple of groves in the EI and NI. You'll never regret it.
Man I wasn't a fan of limb prepping, but otherwise I miss how amazing Sylvan and groves were. Would never go back to Eleusis but DEM GROVES GUYS.
And I love too Be still, my indelible friend That love soon might end You are unbreaking And be known in its aching Though quaking Shown in this shaking Though crazy Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby
Thanks to @Melodie for the delightful conversation/roleplay for one of my house tasks. You seriously made my day!
<lots of conversation and history talk>
Tristyn offers a look of mild amusement as she interjects
a quick, but joking comment, "Remind me not to invite you to any soirees I
may have..."
Melodie snorts briefly before waving a hand airily.
"That's what they all say, but I get invitations all the same. Look at us
now - my hand isn't anywhere near trying to rip your heart from your
chest." She pauses a moment before adding, "Yet, anyway."
<Oh damn... let's change the topic!>
Focus on results and you'll never see progress. Focus on progress and you'll see results.
