1. I'm not the leader of my tribe, I'm a baron, and the reason behind that you don't need to know.
2. From what I know, only 2 times have I taken an enemy village, once against gerbilgambit, which he recapped. The other was against BFI (can't remember the name) which was just me prenobling it for a tribemate, but it was actually taken by the nobles. So we can correct those stats to say that essentially, I have 0% caps against an enemy.
3. I put my troops out there whenever someone needs help. Anyone can tell you that when they have asked for support, and I had troops, they got support, and lots of it. Less than 5 villages (of active players) have fallen when they have asked me for support.
4. I'm not active enough to have more than a few villages on the frontline (which I currently have quite a few surrounded by red) and expect to keep them if real attacks come in, which hasn't happened.
5. Its not my fault no one has seriously attacked me yet, I've had a village under actual risk of loss once, and it was a train with a 5 second spread in between each attack, which I cut.
6. How do you say we should grow without barbs at this point in the game? Or even before then, when we were a tiny tribe on the k40/41 border. We had X X looming to the North, Tag! to the East, and SV-K51 to the South, all more than triple our size. We didn't have time to grow normally, so we decided to find solace in numbers, and then grow through cannibalism until we could compete. Now we have Deceit to the East and slowly approaching through the North, only held back by X X, and BFI in the South. We noble barbs to grow without having to attack these tribes that are beyond our current abilities.
7. To address your points on barb nobling:
1)A necessary sacrifice we made to continue in this world
2)Everyone in our area knows whats up, and we have rules as to how you noble other people's farms, so you can't just steal a tribemates farm, only noble your own.
3)True, however it costs upwards of 2 nukes to clear any full village, 5+ to take from most active people. Many of us don't have those resources to spare, and a barb can be taken with approximately 600 farm space, instead of 20k. You can also take a barb thats close to you without adding another village to defend, while adding troops to later put on the frontline. You can also grow fine barb building, in fact if you how to do it, a 3k barb can get into full, self sustained production in less than a week depending on its HQ/res level at conquering.
4)We are boxed in by enemies, have been since day one, might as well be a box full to the brim and packed as tightly as possible with sharp objects so whoever tries to open it will take severe losses for each and every inch of space they try to clear.
5)True, however offense is a fairly easy part of the game. They have tools to tell you the exact time to send each attack, trains require no skill to send, only knowledge of correct setup. Throw in a few hundred (or thousands on a tribe level/larger players) fakes, including fanged fakes, normal fakes, nukes mixed in randomly etc. and you have a pretty good offense. Scale that up and you have a good tribe offense (which is where our tribe doesn't make the connection, many of our players are more loosely associated players than tribe mates)
6)Not true. Learning how to defend your account depends on other people attacking you, which is completely up to them, not you. Barbs only make it easier to defend an account because of the close proximity to more villages.
As I said, I'm not the leader, nor do I make any real decisions. I give what insight I can, try to keep people on track, and do what I can to fix the tribe. We came into a hard situation, and made the best choice we thought there was. Whether it truly was the best choice is impossible to know, we can only live with what choices we made, and try to tie the ends up together as we keep going. Our tribe is flawed, I will not deny that, we have many flaws that harm us, however we have already started the incredibly long and hard process to rid ourselves of those faults, while still trying to survive long enough to fix those problems. We are doing what we can with what we were given. This is my last post that will defend the Horde, myself, or our policies on the externals. Its useless here. If you want to have a nice 1-1 conversation, hit me up ingame, I am a lot more reasonable and likeable there, as the few people that have sent me a mail know.
My challenge is still open, if you think you are Captain Hindsight and could have kept us out of our current problems, or could get us out of ours, hit me up IG. If you actually tell me something that would have been better than what we did (or are doing) then I will give you PA for a month. There are people out there that know a lot more about this game than me, if you are one of them, might as well get a free month for a few minutes worth of typing.
