If they are asked to lose all troops on some suicidal attacks they have no troops, they became deadweight. So there is no need for them. Yeah, that's how Batan et consortes work. Sandalus 118K points 404K OD (7 barbs conquered, 2 in own tribe). One of the smallest members: knuj 40K points 442K OD. This is how VIKIN works.
Yeah I kind of don't support deadweight thus my OD.... why support a deadweight? I have my own personal rules when it comes to supporting fellow members. I know not everyone will agree but for survival purposes, why bother:
-Defending villages that don’t have full walls
-Defending a village with less than 30k population of D units
-Defending with just HC support
-Using offensive units to defend
-Defending remote/recently conquered villages
-Members who only become active when they need support
-Members with questionable loyalty to the tribe
But that's just me. I'm a team player and I respect my duke and will defend and support him always. Like I said in the past, he does have his flaws but then again who doesn't? I don't join a tribe just because to be in a tribe. I choose wisely what tribe to join and stick with it. Trashing a tribe that you used to be with is so uncouth. How you play in this game or any games defines who you are in real life. Sad dude really sad. I have no ill feeling towards you knuj for trashing my tribe that you were a part for in the past and I sincerely wish you luck in this game and in real life.
Oh yeah LB has called on me about supporting players and I told him why I support only certain players and he respects me for my conviction.
Yes, I've started nobling barb vils, not because I want to but it has become a necessity because other tribes are doing that to get to our territory. I call it teamwork. I'm not particular about nobling barbs but it has become a "must" to stop other tribes from invading our territory. I'm not a blind follower but I have high respect for LB and Lelouch and that says a lot.
