Not to me it is not.

Quote:  First, there is what I call a concerted effort to make sure that smaller BHs NEVER are allowed to raise the level of their Bastion. Why game managers permit this is quite beyond me. Because it makes money. What is needed, is level controls. As a BH [regardless of size] raises it's BH to say, 10 from level 5, once at 10 it should be allow it lock in place. The same process for level 15, allow it to lock in to 15. No BH should be allowed to completely take down any BH [or keep them down as some cases be] from the level that they achieved.

Wrong, what is needed is your Brotherhood to learn how to fight and stop wasting one man on spam attacks to other Brotherhoods

Quote:  Now, don't tell me Plarium, that you don't know who these bullies are? Look at the behavior of the Pirate Horde [as example] and it stands out clearly. How about the Hell Cats, or EURU, or RuAL ... just to toss out some-examples.

I do not know about any of them Brotherhoods none of them have attacked My Brotherhood.

You are saying any one that upsets your little routeen is a " Bullie " because it disrupts you in a pirate game on line, and what you want to do, with a level 5 Bastion and 132 crew, you do not seem to want to do a lot by My veiwing.

Very Poor Advert for the Alliance of Peace, as you seem to be one of the main spammers in the game, I suggest you stop wasting the community’s time on this nonsense, and start learning how to build, and fight correctly, and stop trying to make troubble with people who disagree with you.

Hello, Captain! 

Okay, but I fail to understand the reason for the Presidios... what are they there for anyway?  With the Bastions at a maximum of 5 and with little hope for reaching 20 without [money, money, money] the Presidios are just so much show...

I do not know what your problem with deals are.

Pilgrim Slayers, Cross and Bones, Blood Krew and Dragon Fire are the biggest double crossing deal makers on the server, without doubt.

Some of you Comics should may be check your Dexy Dosage a bit more often.

Sorry just a slight correction :) We didn't pick the fight !

They did as I said nothing but a bunch of Thugs

We are a middle sized B H  and have never had issues like this before just so you understand they wiped out our Bastion level 9

I thin k

They took it down by using a 50000 Jugs 50000 SOls  only way they could prior to that they had been beaten back every time

But they weren't happy with that then they proceeded to continue attacks and reduce it to level 5 . If there was any type of spirit in the game then they ignored it

So we fight we are not going to be dictated too by a bunch of Bullies and thugs even in a computer game .

We are doing our best to keep them annoyed so they don't think about doing it too someone else .

Wow, this thread starts to give me a clear picture of why some BHs hv the upper hand for sure.  But, doesnt this mean tht certain BHs who are "on the outside" so to speak, but high in the rankings, could themselves do a massive alliance to take down Sorci, Rual, HC, and their cabal?  Where r the BH leaders for those obvious powerful BHs, mine being one of them, why arent they banding together?  Since every No 1, No 2, or No 3 ranked BH has been taken down hard in the past 6 months, isnt it time for Sorci to get whacked?  Hello ? 

I have no idea how many Brotherhoods are in The Alliance of Peace

However for me, if the put there egos to one side, joined up into say 2 or 3 brotherhoods, and put as much time into playing the game, as they do spamming and talking rubbish in parrots, they might have a few ideas about the tournaments and such.

There is some good players spread out in there, and I am sure there is a lot of players up for a good fight, with no nonsense.

anyways~~~~

After that I personally send a letter to Jongar to explain our actions  and told him that if the attacks by your guys on our smaller members dont stop we would come back everyday and make your bastion level 5 again.

He laughed me in the face and told that he doesnt care about losses and he doesnt care about loosing his bastion, he told me that he wanted war and we just accepted. THAT is how it was - so dont spread the word Hanse was the agressor - it was the other way around.

I even reached out to all your advicers to inform them about their leaders words...they also did not listen.

So as usual we have one of the Trouble makers in pirates Bay, linked to The Alliance of Peace, Lying to his members, having an ego the size of the moon, then when they get beaten up, complaining in the forum about being bullied, and about Honest Players wishing to play the game spending money on their entertainment.

Grow some hair on your manhood Brethren AOP!

Thumbs down to you.

You guys do realize Hanse is easy to deal with. Leave them alone they leave you alone. For a big BH to have a simplistic motto like that its pretty fair. 

Having briefly tangled with them, can say from experience they are pretty reasonable. To each their own. 

Okay you guys really are seriously delusional

Attalar you are full of it mate seems you cant help yourself

I saw the attack notices I saw how many times you were repulsed till you sent your MIGHTY FLEET , some people do have problems with size LOL  .

 I then know we sent nukes against your BH and you said as Jon shared the mail if you don't stop Nuking your BH you  will destroy our Bastion . So you did

Don't try making excuses and sounding like the aggrieved Party

If any one in our BH was attacking your members you should have communicated it to our leader . You didn't .

Plain and simple mate you are what you are don't try and disown it . You have little or no respect within many Bhs in the game as a individual player  

As a player you want to take me on , Limit the amount of ships you have lol as I said I am not a coiner and don't intend to be that's why Plarium loves you and your BH LOL

Oh and special note for  Nikita "sorry to burst your Bubble too little one"  The Brethren is not a member of the Alliance of peace though we do know players within their midst as we also know other players in many other BHS just have a look at our Diplomacy screen if you doubt what I say :)

PS oh and as for not caring about loosing his Bastion ???? Why do you think Jon is so pis sed lol

He doesn't care about the point score that for sure how could you against Hanse ??? Seriously bring back the Decay Law and we will see how Mighty Hans is :)

If they can maintain their Fleets with that in place Fair enough but Id seriously doubt it lol

Captain James T. Kirk, Enterprise 1701-A, All The Kings Men BH

Years ago, on the now deleted Kabam forum, I wrote a long post on how useless Presidios are, with a list of suggestions to make them more interesting. Nothing ever happened and they are equally useless today as they were then.

IMO, Presidios are a vanity show. They show some area as "yours", so you get to feel mighty when that area is big. Not unlike obsession that many men have with the size of something else. ;-)

Given that there is nothing really worth fighting (Fireships, charts, and whirlpools - IMO - made haven hits completely uninteresting, treasure islands are wastes of units, targets only give useless relics,...), Presidios are also a nice taunt to get hit where your power is concentrated, for those who want to fight. Those who don't want that can easily play Farmville by simply spending down and turtling (or upgrading their harbours with etchings), without really losing anything important in the game.

One possible advantage of Presidios is that they put your BH higher in the list of BHs, making it more likely for you to get more and better new members.

camera12 said:

Allowing for that ability to lock the Bastions at 10 and 15, can't possibly take away more battles/pvps only prevent less power to the coiners and cheaters.

I disagree.

Quick hits on Presidios/Bastions to get the requirements for some of the levels + a ton of rubies = getting your Bastion from level 5 to 10 or 10 to 15 in no time. If those levels were protected, you'd never have to use a single unit to defend it.

Further, with such high "protected" levels, it would be dumb to go for any other level (gain of up to 4 levels for the price of countless def units needed to defend it), rendering all Bastion hits completely uninteresting, also making it virtually impossible to go for those levels that require Bastion downgrades.

If anything, coiners would benefit greatly from this, while "poorer" BHs, that would have to do it slowly, would keep getting blasted until they realised that it's better to just keep at their current "protected" level.

I really do understand... however, how can game become that altered by allowing the locking of the Bastions on increments of 5.  If you look at the current levels this will permit a more equal distribution of Bastion levels thus giving more confidence to those who bastions are either at a fixed 5 or less for that matter. 

Allowing for that ability to lock the Bastions at 10 and 15, can't possibly take away more battles/pvps only prevent less power to the coiners and cheaters.
