First Oligarch, ending or not?

Well when the writing's on the wall, you'd think something would be better than nothing 

When you offered that it was when it didn't seem the walls would ever be broken. In all honesty, had Zakky not helped them out with settings the walls would prob still be levl 5.

And well you obviously don't know Garas and Catherine yet 

[JeVondair]

Fair enough sir Fair enough!


Frankly if it were me and there was even a glimmer of hope, I would have stuck to the walls as well. When they finally fell, I was actually surprised the North finally got their act together

[Zakilevo]

You just need to use the right settings with the right units and you can crush any city.

Of course you need at least the same CS as the city you are attacking. It is a lot better than what it used to be like though. You used to need at least double.

Yup and then Sirion went a bit crazy and now all their allies but Shadowdale stepped out of the war. Welcome once more to the north  I get why people are confused about EC politics hehe

Then, at dawn, when no one is waiting for... BOOOMM! Atanamir Eyolf Serpentis. Lucky you that he's in Dwilight 

[JeVondair]

Oh Wow Welcome back!


You know Yeux's kid is running around Xavax atm? I am pretty excited to see so many older players returning this month.

I fear no serpentis!

(Goes and runs away for Eduardo's reaction)

Quite interesting news, it seems Sirion is allowing Oligarch to succesfully TO Commonyr...I'm a bit shocked tbh

[Zaros]

I heard Oligarch captured some Sirion nobles!

Of course we did, our infantry crushed their archers. Although they seem to be coming again with I guess the intend to thin us down.

[Zakilevo]

Literally cashcows...

[Nosferatus]

I was wondering after seeing military strenght stats, how could total CS rise from ~8K to almost 50k in a single day(around the 18th of october)?
I think i have never seen that much of a spike before.

Oligarch has many of these spikes, perhaps not all as extreme as this one.
I just cant figure out how a single city can recruit that much men, even with unlimited amounts of gold.
Or are these extremely powerful peasant militia of some kind?

please shed light on the mystery!

[Zakilevo]

Well... if your city is as large as Oligarch, you can summon 40k CS worth of peasants. That is about 8000 peasants. The sheer number alone and destroy most player fielded army. And it is literally free. You can use it as long as there are no peasant and your ruler has enough prestige. You can just invest afterward to repair the damage.

How does this work, anyways? Just in the capital?

Some of the spikes are due to us recruiting like crazy and Garas putting up quite some militia. But the huge huge spikes are peasant militia yeah, think we used it twice?

You need to have something like max 3 regions (doing this by heart but it's in the ballpark) and the enemy must have more troops in your realm than you do. Then you can call it and it gets called in all your regions. Oligarch only has one though, but with almost 70k pop we raise them big.

The last battle was fought hardly without peasants by our side however save for like 2k cs worth remaining.
