I am a newish member but have built up my mines and army a fair bit now. Being a Scottish Henderson on my maternal side, I wonder which clan should we belong to or be allied too? Having no knowledge of the clan family names, I'm a bit bemused.[COLOR=blue] unsure.gif

For the most part, the clans in the game have no relation to Scottish clans. Even the few that do, only the guy who started the clan is related to the real clan. Don't worry about the name, just find the group of folks you fit in with best, or go it on your own. Either way, have fun.

Yes, open some conversations with the Clan leaders and read old posts to see how the treat folks and what their disposition is.

It's been quiet for a long time - the clans are resting and rebuilding. We are all in this for some side entertainment. Like TheCarolinaScotsman said, find a group of folks and join in....you never know how things will turn out partytime.gif rockon.gif Royal01.gif

And let's not forget that Clan Gordon has promised to do some serious attackin' in the near future. smile.gif

Perhaps you might wish to get thyself on the rather big side? wink.gif

Now Come On Lads lets not tell him if you set by the sidelines it gets sooooo boring,I'm setting up so high I can't even attack anyone. My Boys From Country Hell are getting cobwebs and FAT from just setting around.

I guess I DID promise something like that! I suppose ye'd have to ask what is left of Clan Dark if we fulfilled that offer! But then they weren't much of a challange!
But VERY SOON things will be taking an UPSWING! wink.gif

If you wish to join a lying and cheating clan than by all means join Clan Gordon

C'mon. Provide some substance or don't say anything at all. I'm not saying they're NOT a lying and cheating clan, but if you're going to say something like THAT, you'd better provide more than an accusation.

Subject: RE:On the eve of war

Any Clan Dark member is a target and enemy of The Gordons. We have intelligence reports that your clan has been picking on much smaller weaker clans and this will not be tolerated. Bring on your army and do your worst or best, but your castle will be the one in ruins when we are done my Lord.

This is just one of the lies that I have proof of, We have not and will not attack smaller Clans and have not attacked anyone as a Clan since McInn disbanded, As for the cheating just like with LoA I can not prove it but I hope CR will look into multiaccounts.

Well, this could be simply a manufactured pretext to create a war. Lord Englishmix once sent armies against me, claiming that there was a foul stench emanating from the lands of Buchanan. smile.gif

As for the multi-accounts, it's a serious accusation, and something Paul could pretty easily check into. (Having administered a number of forums in my time, such multi-account nonsense is simple enough to see.)

Has anyone asked him to look into it? Has he done so? Has he removed multiple accounts? If not, there may be nothing to this claim.

Again, I'm not stating an opinion one way or another. I know that aside from Lord Englishmix and my wargames, Clan DARK has not attacked us. That doesn't mean Clan Gordon is or is not lying. I don't know anything about that.

However, while it may not always be to our advantage, war is a possibility in MK, and is never as far off as we'd like to assume.

1.The hendersons were a border family not a highland clan.

2. there is no such thing as scottish clans anymore. They dont exist.

How do you figure? I mean, I figure you really are a Glaswegian, but I wonder how you can say that they don't exist at all when there is still a registered clan chief for many clans in Scotland.

If, however, you meant that they no longer exist as a political and familial force with which to be reckoned, I can certainly agree with you there. I'd say they still exist, though in a much different form than once they did.

It's an opinion, though. smile.gif

Ah, the fair Lord Taliesin is right in testifying that Clan DARK has not provoked war nor battle with Clan Mac Na Galla. And we thank you most kindly, Lord Taliesin, for making that public for it clears the air against the lies of underling kingdoms of Clan Gordon!

The skirmishes which I launched several fortnights ago against Taliesin to eliminate foul odors were announced before hand, and we had honorable fair combat together - in fact, our results we made public on a forum thread, which I highly recommend new players to take a look at for how a battle might go. But I digress...

Mighty SonOfHenderson,
If you are looking for an honorable Clan, you will find none better than Clan Dark (although there may be some equal). That is why our Clan is truly "Defending Armies of Righteous Kingdoms." I encourage you to speak with King McRoach or King Gandolf more privately - and you will find them ready to give assistance.

Yet it remains that Mac Na Galla and those reading this thread have now received warning about Clan Gordon's kind of fighting. I hope you take heed before it is too late to stop the growing power of darkness reeking over Medieval Kingdom.

very well put Lord Englishmix.
Lord SonOfHenderson I just noticed you have picked a very good and honorable Clan, May good luck be in your future here in MK

My Lords of all Clans, If I could have a minute of your time

The game is made to play correct, and in the game it is to train troops and Buildings to build resources. Now if we all do that and nothing else pleassse what fun is that. The many Great Clans in Medieval times did not just set around all day and count their gold, they wanted more they wanted make themselves bigger, what did they do they called the armies together and attacked.

There was a time when you all complained about McInnes Clan attacking you because you are of a peaceful Clan,now it is Clan Gordon's turn why because we get bored with just training,and building, honestly don't you get bored.

You all are good Clans but," Take someone's cookie and play the game."

Well, as I said earlier, war is part of the game. However, some of the things that have been said have nothing to do with war, and more to do with the possibility of some taking an unfair advantage.

War in this game I do not have a problem with. It might destroy me and my clan, but it's part of the game. The possibility of people with multiple accounts is another issue, one which is easily resolved by Paul, and one which I have no patience for IF it's taking place.

Now, I've said this to others: it has not been proved to anyone that multiple accounts for the purpose of resource generation is taking place. That is something Paul will have to look into if he chooses to. That being said, I hope if people ARE using multiple accounts, something that is clearly against the spirit of the game, I hope Paul will take appropriate punitive action.

War, however, is part of it all. smile.gif

Oh my all this controversy over such a simple question from some one looking for a little more info about which clan to join.

Lord SonofHenderson, I recommend you heed the good advise of those not fostering ill feelings or boasts of war and decide what you want to do while playing this game. Do you want a huge score and loyalty to a clan that will send you off to battle until you are too large to fight anyone, or do you want to just make new friends and figure things out as you go? Near as I can tell there is only one direction to go from when you start and that is up. Some are slow to move up the ranking others do it real fast. Keep in mind that as you get higher up the ladder you'll be be unable to attack fewer and fewer players but the more attacks you can receive.

As for the multiple accounts accusation which I have no proof of one way or the other. I can see why some players might want more than one account. We have watched other players become so large that it was boring just to watch everyone else fight, so why not start a new account and work your way up again? The flip side would be if you are using your second account to attack players you couldn't reach while transferring HUGE sums of resource from your first account to the new one in order to build your armies so quick that no one would be prepared to defend themselves.

I like that we keep reminding each other that this is a game of war, if you want to sit around and build stuff with out ever getting attacked or fighting, play Sim City or something. This is also an extension of Celtic Radio and this forum is as much a part of playing as the battles are. If people want to complain a bit or throw verbal mud at each other, are they not still technically playing? Just a thought for those who are tired of reading the posts but so quick to respond to them.

As for you my lord Dogshirt, what's left of my clan is the integrity that has always been there. We will fight our battles and defend our kingdoms against all who wish to rise up against us. We shall arise from any ash and ruin that war scars us with. I must admit that MacInn did had the formality of declaring war rather than just striking all at once but I suppose not all snakes in the grass have rattles.

Early on, when I was still fairly new to the game, I was wiped out more than once. I swore to myself that I would put myself in a position where that could never happen again. I had made the typical mistakes by then, but then decided that a kingdom's economy was the basis for strength. Accordingly, I started working on building assets that would create resources. I did not register a ghost player, but put all my attention toward strengthening my player status. It took patience and time, but eventually, I was in position to move up in the ranks quickly. The chief of my clan (at that time Clan MacInnes) requested that I keep my score low, so I had to dump 80,000 points. Once MacInnes disbanded, I was free to become the dominant player in the game with a score well beyond any one else. I am still building. My goal is to be so powerful that I could challenge King Arthur. (In the beginning, Paul was going to create an over lord king, King Arthur that could grant requests and give resources to worthy supplicants. Paul mentioned that he might be challenged by one powerful enough to do so.) My goal is still total domination. But I do it without help and as a lone wolf.

How is someone new to the game to know which way to go....which clan to join ....and who to seek for advice on how to get started??? I would think one of the objects of this game is to have battles with other players but some think not... I would like to build a large strong kingdom but am unable to trust anyone as yet, maybe after playing awhile I'll know which clan to trust...

Posted by: RedWeasel 31-May-2009, 12:45 AM
I post this here ONLY because it happens here in the Medieval Forums.
While reading these forums, unless I keep my cursor ON the pages of the forum, I get an error warning, some garbage about Java Script error, or something like that. If I let the cursor stray to the frames, the background or anywhere EXCEPT the actual texts of the forums this happens. Not all the time, but enough to be annoying.
Has anyone else had this happen?

Well, knowing who to trust is really the trick isn't it? And how would that have been different in real life. Such is politics, medieval or otherwise.

The objects of the game are what you make of them, my Lord. If you would prefer to build up a massive, peaceful kingdom, then so be it. If you would prefer to make war, as Clan Gordon is doing, that is part of the game as well.

As for which CLAN to trust, I'd say go with your gut. Decide whether you want to augment an already large clan like DARK, Bruce, or Gordon. Or go with a smaller clan, like North, or Mac Na Galla. Read the clan pages and see which one has the attitude you like. Read the posts and see whose posts make the most sense to you.

And remember, once you join a clan, you can ALWAYS leave it.
