On Saturday, January 18th, a house or alliance yet to be discovered placed a mercenary contract on our heads with our friends over at brutaL. They carried out the contract and wiped us off the map rather quickly. I spoke with brutaL during the engagement and he even gave me some tips for next time. While it's easy to get angry at brutaL, they honestly did us a kindness. They showed us what we're up against at the top tier. They gave us back our land the following battle and also shared with us some techniques to sideline the assault they threw at us using lower-level troops.
What I didn't expect was the amount of outrage the Conqueror's Blade community displayed after the attack. They called a first-ever server-wide United Nations meeting involving over 46 houses and alliances from all 4 regions. House after house voiced their outrage from the attack and voiced their support for our community. It was an hour and a half meeting that laid down rules of engagement for large houses and alliances, discussed rules for hiring mercenary houses, and the development of protected areas for new houses to play free of the big dogs.
Out of the situation came a lot of good. They passed a vote making mercenary contracts public 24 hours after the territory war so that any future attacks would be revealing who hired them. In addition, they are in the process of determining max fief ownership sizes to allow more houses to own land. The outcry of support was rather touching and I am convinced that our server, at its core, is a great community that looks out for the little guys.
