Eleusis vs Mhaldor, the Good and the Bad!

  • There was a very large force of defenders when we started the attack on Eleusis... then they just logged out/ran away. So really the fault lies with Eleusis just letting their city get smashed instead of actually defending it.

    There were eight (on our side) total against a starting force of thirteen that grew to eighteen. Several logged in and were slain on the spot. We put up a defence as well as we could to start, but it fell apart, and then there was nothing to be done. Many QQ'd at that point. We got down to three. Four or so more logged in and were killed on the spot.

    Still in the middle of cleaning up the mess so not going to comment much at the moment.

    I don't know why he thought we'd raid when Mhaldor has people logged on, doesn't he know the counter to soulspear?

    Fixed.

    What she said. Just a little back and forth, doing back unto them much as what Eleusis did to us a few days back with the tank room. Quite a couple of guards were in the way, and they summoned more while we were killing them so we had to go through them.

    Those people who logged on were really unfortunate, in that they logged on before our group.  It's obvious to say that the first instinct for people when they see a green name is to kill. I think we got like, Kiah and Ryuke with it. No idea who else.

    Handful of totems smudged, tanks stolen (I think), most guards killed, guardian dead, several denizens killed, two rooms destroyed, font was dead when they got there (gg Grondson, don't know why you blew it earlier), three shrines defiled, two Sartan shrines put up (no worldburn though), a few images of Sartan dropped around, some things like pennons and etc. We were trying to summon guards to try a rush when they were in the tank room, but for some reason the guards kept rushing off the moment we summoned, it was very annoying. I don't do guards though.

  • Well, it really sucks for the people who died early on login.

    I am somewhat amused by the posters and pennons, at least they put a bit of effort into it. It's like leaving your house unattended and a bunch of frat boys sneak in.

    Look at all the life this war gave to Mhaldor, don't wanna lose that momentum!

    Completely true. It kinda shows the difference between the two cities as well though, and why we're generally on the defensive. We could muster like 8 dragons for guard raids. Your group had 13-18 people. Difference in number of people that really wants to pvp and "win" is too great for Eleusis to come out on top against Mhaldor. 


    No doubt Mhaldor had a much larger force of raiders/combatants at the end of the war than Eleusis did, and if we let it keep going that would just spiral onward. Eleusis had to back out of this war, but we also had to do it in a way our characters could "live with". (No giving away forests or lives to the Evil god) So when mechanics lets us back out of a war whenever we want, not when the opponents lets us, then we'll do that. 


    I still think it's been interesting, lots of political upheaval in eleusis, lots of new kids stepping up and showing what they can become if they keep at it and also lots of complainers that are now totally identified and marked! :pensive: 


    Now is Mhaldor gonna step up and declare war against a city more equal to their current size/might? :)

    (plz, would totally let me work on targossas/hashan hostilities)

  • RuthRuth Singapore

    Given Eleusis declared the war first on a city (Mhaldor) that appeared to be severely over what they can handle, I could say the same!

    To demand Eleusis to cede a forest territory was an arbitrary term I threw in to make discussions interesting RP-wise. To ask for lives was a generic term that was meant to spur creativity. Sure, if may be ridiculous terms for Eleusis but there was a an opportunity for you to work with modifying them. Instead, you took my last, equally ridiculous offer and counter-offered it to me. :[

    Also to clarify, our group that turned up was not all comprised of dragons. Only 8 of them are! There were also names of those who had merely come back to Achaea and wanted something to participate in.

    Well, negotiations breaking down during war is kinda expected no? Just look at the isreali and palestines. :)

    Dunno why people are whining about the RP not being good enough to satisfy their needs... lol

    I'm just going to make an observation and say that it is not simply "my side" who 'whines' because "RP negotiations broke down". I could give you names but I suspect that they wouldn't be happy that I did.

    Regardless, now you can clearly focus on your aggressions with Targossas!

  • Mhaldor should get to temporarily destroy a forest with fog for this victory. And likewise a piece of the mountain can get a mini forest were they to lose. 

    Or can kill Erato forever.  Fk that guy.

    Here's the rub though, what victory?

    There is none for either side, because there is no proper mechanism in place for identifying victory. Sorry, no, opinion does not count here.

    And another thing, a war should not last longer than a major world event. Honestly, world events last an RL month or so, two cities having a punch-fest, should not take that same amount of time.

    Yes, if I was playing a Mhaldorian, I'd be miffed as well.

    There are a lot of things that need to be fixed here, and game mechanics isn't half of it. From an RP perspective, there is a lot that can and should go into a war.

    This war though, from my perspective, is actually the cause of one person who didn't quite understand the monster that is Mhaldor nor the mechanic that is war in this game. Yes @Ravien, both IC and OOC, I don't believe you thought this one through. I find it frustrating that you have not actually addressed the people you are leading IC, nor have I seen any kind of explanation for this on the forums. Before this is over, you'll see more Eleusians leaving the village and quitting the army. If @Ravien retains the seat of speaker much longer, I'd be very surprised.

    Eleusis might now have stopped the war in a technical, very OOC way, but I honestly don't see how this is going to change the situation.

    @Sarapis & @Tecton We rally need a balanced war system, and there needs to be a way for Eleusis to not have the shaft up it's but all the time. Seriously, there needs to be some kind of mechanism to make war between cities, much less of a one sided affair. There is so much potential for incredible game play here, but you will never be able to keep a city like Eleusis in a war, when it's player-base has zero abilities to fight back.

    I'll say it again, if you want to attack a city, you should attack that city. Not a 1400 room front, that can be attacked at whim without threat.
