Nation NPC Strength?

[Lucavi]

I don't know if its just a "Everyone loves Sandoria and so does SE" thing, but in a matter of days, Sandoria on Hades has the orcs at 0% morale, 50% resources, and have completely manhandled jugner, batallia, and the Inlet. Windurst is doing alright, holding their own, and bastok is struggling to take new lands, but is otherwise doing well.

I've been doing campaign all over and have noticed that the strength of the raiding party vs. the defending party depends on morale, the influence, ect., but I've also noticed that Sandoria troops are just flat out retarded strong when compared to Bastok, even in areas where the beastmen have 100% influence and sandy has 0%. The only instance of that is in Eldime, and the only reason sandy doesn't have it under control is because every tom, dick, and harry wants the scholar NPC instead of trying to actually fight.\

My question isn't about a numbers game -- everybody knows that Bastok constantly places last on all servers for everything, and that there are more Sandorians than Windurstans and Bastokans (although windy has more than basty as well), but is sandoria's dominence extending across all servers, and if so, are their NPCs just plain stronger?

From everything I have read so far it seems that windy npc's are the strongest of the 3 nations. I just assume most people have picked sandy as there nation for the past and its showing the most.

Bastok and San d'Oria seem pretty even on Gilgamesh, but Windurst, for some reason, has 0 Morale and Prosperity.

If anything it seems here that the Beastmen are too strong; in the Crawlers' Nest attack no NPCs assist and a swarm of Quadav DRK/BLMs that hit for 300+ and nuke for 1000+ Zerg Rush the place.

Edit: oh and for what it's worth, the closest I've ever seen a Beastman territory falling to 0 Strength was Grauberg after a fierce Bastokan attack, at 24 Fortification. It's at 96 now, though...

Hades Sandoria is just tearing through everything -- I was watching one Sandorian Archer chick tank 8 Orcs with no problem whatsoever. It jmust just be the numbers game, but it helps that Sandy's troops run straight through where PCs are fighting. In rolanberry, the Gallka troops take the back door to get to the Quadav, so nobody is there to support them normally.

I know it has to do somewhat with bastok's initial plans, which are sabatoge and sneak attacks, and less outright frontal assault, but I really hope we can change that. Sandoria is going right down the enemy's throats, and its showing with their sheer dominance.

On Fairy Windy is doing the best, prolly cause of kidz. ;p

Yags are 0% 0%
Quad 100% 100%
Orc 100% 100%

Beastmen controls batallia down and rolandberry, windy controls champaign. I don't understand the overall controlled areas tally (3 3 3 9), by my count windy has more and the other have less. *shrug*

I don't think it updates on sundays, like conquest -- maybe monday?

Orcs and Quads at full morale/prosperity here. Sandy has taken Batallia and Vunkerl but lost horribly in Eldieme and has been destroyed in Jugner. Sandy has almost lost Ronfarue as well, the Beastmen are sitting at about 80% in Ronf atm and I keep hearing friends of mine from Sandy telling me they got destroyed by Orcs trying to defend it.

Bastok has done nothing. They lost CN and that's it.

Windy has dominated. Yags are completely depleted of Morale/Prosperity and windy has taken Fort K and Sauromugue easily while defending GC and Saruta just fine. No progress in Meri but we have to leave something for next week, don't we.

[Priran]

considering the only things Sandy NPCs seem to be good at are timed Banish II nukes and dying, I'd say it has more to do with the amount of people joining the Iron Rams.

[Lucavi]

Interesting -- I guess I need to move to Sandy or Windy, then. Being the underdog in conquest is one thing, but here too?

[Tonko]

Nothing quite matches 20 or so Taru NPCs nuking in Synchrony.

Only reason all 20 spells don't go off is because their target dies after the first few.

Windurst is certainly strongest NPC wise.

Dunno what you are talking about but Bastok is more often or not in first on Midgar. And second place if not first. lol I agree about windy being the strongest. Two white eles holding off and slowly killing like 14 yags. That's nuts. >_>
