Fort Strong Warclaim

[Pond 1069]

For those of you that don’t know, I own a fort near the old orc capital (San’kala), it’s been through wars, skirmishes, raids, plenty of stuff. It was first built in the forest near Caras Eldar/Dominion Capital, but then moved as it violated a rule. It started out with just that small center tower in the middle at the first stage, but it has been expanded upon for months. It’s been built for around 6-9 months I am assuming, and it’s still being built upon. (I take almost no credit for building it btw, it’s been built upon by dozens of people, such as Simba, Horton, Wud, Rin, Me, list goes on and on.)

 

 

I am speaking about Fort Strong. It has been with orcs for such a long time, and its sole purpose was to withstand a siege, it has faced everything, raids, skirmishes, you name it, but it hasn’t faced one thing yet. That would be an actual warclaim. I’m assuming many of you already know about this, as I’ve spoken with 4 out of 8? 9? nation leaders, and they have all agreed that a mock warclaim on Fort Strong (picture above) would be awesome. I tried speaking to Fireheart and Telanir just directly about this, but seeing as I was presumably blocked by Fireheart (since he has been online but hasn’t accepted my friend req on discord for like 2 weeks), and Telanir is away or something, I’ve taken it to the forums to garner enough support where this will happen. 

 

It does not need a ton of stuff to be done with in in terms of approving CBs, or anything. It will be completely OOC, it’s a mock warclaim.  Sides don’t matter, its an orc owned fort, but it could be Empire defending it and Orcs sieging it, doesn’t matter, it’s up to the NLs. All that has to be done to set this up, is putting it on the war server after the defenders side is done with their building (if they choose to add stuff onto it), and add in the siege equipment. Oh and also, it’s way further into the sea, the location of where it is in the picture above is false. It’s surrounded by ocean besides on its left side, so the attackers might need to build siege boats or whatever, I’ve never done a siege in an ocean so I don’t know how it’s setup. 

 

And don’t even complain about the lag that’s gonna happen, and don’t deny this due to that reason, the sole purpose of this mock warclaim is for everyone to have fun, and for me to finally see the fort which was made to be sieged, get sieged. 

 

This deserves to happen, and I want it to happen before next map (because the fort won’t be around next map, duh), it doesn’t need a ton of GMs or anything to happen to it, just make it happen. If this gets accepted by the admin team, I’ll work with you in DMs or whatever discord with the other NLs that wish to partake in the siege on how it will go down (who will defend/attack, etc).

I am all in favor of this. While I don’t normally partake in Warclaims (Since I play a halfling who’s neutral in basically every war), I might find myself participating in this mock warclaim if it were to go through. I think having fun OOC events like this to bring LoTC together as a community will help us in the long run and create a much nicer atmosphere of compassion for the server.

[Novastral 582]

Sounds fun. I’ll make sure to get my auto clicker up to date if Nation leaders agree to this.

What the heck that's a cool looking build

[rukio 8924]

Fantastic. Give this a go

I’m looking at it and it’s basically impenetrable to some extent. Siege towers can’t be used on it, treb shots will likely just bounce off or create dents but no impact and ladders seem to be impossible to use without death being assured.

Exactly why a siege on this fort will be so much fun, for both sides.

More like it’ll be fun for the side defending while the attacking side either breaks upon the walls or waits in a siege camp for over an hour. 

[Strife 266]

Sounds neat. I’m down if it happens.

[Chryasor 269]
