There are no good or bad guys(except me i am truly evil
)
It is easy to say he is bad cos he left( Nate) he is bad cos he did this or that (all of you) or he is truly a selfish tit (Exo) and every is correct from their own perspective.
I don't think anyone thought Nate was a bad guy, he just saw himself as a great schemer and alienated the rest of his alliance. I wouldn't even say Apocalypse are bad, even though I think they are massively paranoid I respect their commitment to their alliance and as you say, if we were in the same alliance we would be supporting each other.
Exo on the other hand is a complete fruit loop. A horrible person. Situations like this where we are sat behind a keyboard with no consequences to our actions brings out people's true characters. He has shown throughout this world that he has a bad attitude when it comes to other people and is massively negative. If I knew him in RL I would be completely opposed to everything he did.
Take it from me (with no offence intended TD) Apoca have proved beyond doubt they are the best alliance in Herm, awesome fighting unit, they are giving TD a run on WW with internal feck ups and limited numbers, IMO the best fighters in en 72 indisputable. TD however played as i predicted to an end game and won or will win . all the history means nothing. TD admit apoca out classed you in the game, apoca admit Td outclassed you in WW. Simple
I don't think you can class Apocalypse as the best fighters in Herm. As things stand now I'd say we're pretty evenly matched. When the expendables were there they gave them the edge. They just had more strong fighters than we did. Players like Radlick in particular who seemed to be a part of every attack Apocalypse made on 1 of our cities and never ran out of Manti's. I've seen good and bad from both sides, I even saw one of Apocalypse's largest players send an unescorted attack
I'd say a major part of Apocalypse's military success is that our members were spread thinly in the areas where they took a lot of cities and it was hard to get defence everywhere. Obviously the fact that Apocalypse took advantage of that by hitting many cities and causing multiple revolts shows that they are a strong unit.
As for being the best alliance, you can forget about BPs and cities taken, it all comes down to achieving your goals and that is what TD have been doing since the day we were formed. We weathered the storm in the months after Apoc declared war on us when most alliances would have crumbled and we were better prepared for the age of wonders. Hopefully we can finish this world off with a win.
