war and fight stories

[Akhilleus]

My REAL first character (the other I made and did nothing with) was two weeks old at this point, in the type of village which considered each other family.

Everyone was close, yet none of us were more than a few months old (so still fairly new.) If I remember correctly, our village pothead was casually sailing down a few rivers above our settlement where he discovered an encampment. He didn't think much of it until he seen Russian in his chat. Quickly we formed all the villagers willing to fight (myself, our "General", our thief, our Lawspeaker, a couple new recruits and the pot smoker) together as we would do the English speaking side of H&H a favor. "Project Battering Ram" as we called it, being our first attack. When it was dark, and no one was online, we prepared a battering ram. The next day when we were only a few hours away from executing it, it went from one Russian speaker to our chat flooded with symbols, following 6-8 geared up players whom slaughtered half of us, the rest managed their way to the boats, packed up everything we had been working on and fled two hours or so east afraid that the Russians would search the surrounding area for our base.

It was so stupid of us to believe we were actually going to succeed, considering they didn't even touch the battering ram it was a trap well prepared. I was one of the casualties. I believe the only ones to make it out was the thief, General, Lawspeaker and one of the two recruits.
