Ok, I’ve really not read much of this thread as i don’t have the time.
Just so everyone knows, i am Sapphire in World 2.
I left PMS simply because i never had time to play and was about to quit the game.
I suicided some of my armies on some poor guy near me and was going to give my cities away.
I never even knew we were warring anyone (which shows how much attention i was paying).
It’s the same for Lord Death.
I've not managed to play world one in nearly 2 weeks now and i only give world 2 lip service. I am playing a little again now as i actually missed the fun factor of world 2 and all the attacking i did.
You only have to look at my area and see how much fun I was having. Every single abandoned village (or at least 99%) around me was because of my attacks.
There were a few people in PMS that had poor armies and in truth deserved everything they got. But saying that, most knew they were gambling their survival and were ok with it.
I've rejoined a new tribe when i decided to play some more, but they accept that i wont be playing as much. I'll be staying there until i either quit or they get bored of me
All credit to Hatred though. It’s good to see people actually wanting to fight in World 2.
Most players/tribes just rolled over and died in World 1.
Although there are still some stupid players around. One 3k player thought he would attack a village i had recently taken over and lost his complete attacking force then abandoned when i told him i'd own his village within the week.
Then i got a tag team on me last night from 2 local villages from players from different tribes (which i found a little odd). Well one of them thought he it would be good to attack with swords and spears and when i woke up this morning and supported the village with 1000+ spear and sword and he lost everything.....well all those resources he stole off me over night are about to be repaid with interest lol
Being aggressive is great, just be careful who you are attacking and that you’re not biting off more than you can chew.
I suspect he saw a village with only 200/200 sword and spear (never bothered to support it) as an easy target, but when you have 3 other village right next door (and i mean right next door) with 700-1000 spear/sword each and another one 7 fields away with 1800 each its really not a wise thing to attack lol, especially when you have like 100 cav in total lol
Both of them will lose their 2500 point villages as i have to make an example out of them now, but that’s not to say i never appreciated the effort they went to in attacking me.
Anyhow, i kinda got sidetracked with this post lol.
I am sure in some small way that hatred helped push PMS a little, but being from the inside i can honestly say that other than a few people it really wasn't that big a deal.
They were just going through their own issues and settling in period and were just unlucky they had a few players leave because of inactivity.
