Title: CluelessWill's Top North American Leaders
Post by: William on June 04, 2018, 10:10:57 pm
Hoping on the bandwagon to make my own list. If this offends you then I've done my job.

1. Karth (92)
Spoiler
I believe that Karth fundamentally did the most with the least. The 63e did have good melee characters but ultimately lacked the 'stars' that other regiments such as the 12th and 3eVolt had. This was made up for by the general skill of Karth's leading and excellent shooting ability and positioning of the 63e. There is a large amount of accusations that center on the alleged hillcamping of the 63e but as a member of the 'golden era' of the 63e, I can confidently say that most 'hill camping' was done to get another regiment to move off of their hill. I overall believe that Karth's accolades and leading abilities coupled with an overall less skilled regiment make him the best leader of NA
[close]
2. Tico (91)
Spoiler
There is little doubt that the 12th was and will be the greatest NW regiment of all time. Tico lead this great regiment to many titles and was an amazing leader. I have him ranked as number 2 simply because the high level of the 12th did mean that momentary lapses of leadership could be made up for by their excellent individual skill in melee.
[close]
3. AsianP (90)
Spoiler
AsianP is both a phenomenal player and leader. He lead multiple regiments (but for the sake of this the 3eVolt) to many victories and was easily a top 3 regiment against the likes of the LG (even post 45e merge). He was a great leader who knew how to get in close and use the 3eVolt's excellent melee to his advantage. He also had a great chain of command with people such as Godfried and Risk under him to provide should he not be there.
[close]
4. Cheesypants (89)
Spoiler
With multiple NWL wins and runner-ups under his belt, Cheesy demonstrated excellent leadership of the 71st and even saw the regiment end up on a high note as they destroyed the Weeb known as 'Lawbringer' during the Twitch Napoleonic Wars League Finals before disbanding.
[close]
5. RussianFury/Waste (86)
Spoiler
I have both of these great people together because they were a true split (imo). RussianFury would later take on most of the duties but at the height of the LG it was a truly split system. Russian and Waste were able to maneuver extremely well with their line and made excellent use of the reverse line tactic. Russian ultimately called the shots but Waste was a more then competent leader. I believe that even before the 45e merge into the LG that Russian and Waste were able to accomplish a lot in the scene in a very short amount of time in the wake of the 71st disbandment and exodus of many well known players
[close]
6. Grimsight (83)
Spoiler
Grimsight was an okay leader. I think he did a good job and he still accomplished a large amount over a large amount of time. I don't have him as a top 5 simply because I believe that the 12th and 63e meant he would never truly be able to become a top 1 regiment for an extended period of time but he still did a good job in the most competitive time of NANW. In short, he wasn't the leader that AsianP was. I also docked him as he included unofficial 1v1's on his record and this is a personal vendetta I have against him.
[close]
7. Millander +1 (80)
Spoiler
I never personally played with Millander so I have very little recollection of his abilities, I simply knew him for the passwords that made me want to leave the game such as 'hardeeslightinfantrytactics.' Regardless the 1stFKI lives on in NANW lore and he was able to form an extremely good regiment with a great group of players.
[close]
8. Wardop +1 (76)
Spoiler
The 14th/1a was a very good regiment and is often times forgotten despite the fact that they won a season of NWL. Although it was only one season that is still a worthy accomplishment.
[close]
9. Offizer/Zen -2 (72)
Spoiler
With the wake of the post-Karth exodus, Offizer and Zen were still able to keep Karth's 63e strong utilizing many of the same strategies while having even less skilled players. I believe they are great leaders and deserve a spot for leading a regiment that was mostly for non-competitive events on a scale that no other NA regiment has ever seen. Similar to Grimsight, neither would surpass their previous leader
[close]
10. Stox (70)
Spoiler
The 54th was by no means a GOAT regiment but they were still a force to be reckoned with back in the days of 50 man lines. What Stox lacked in basic English sentence structure he made up for in leading. During my tenure in the 63e every LB we had with the 54th was a long and drawn out affair where the smallest lapse in leading could mean the difference between a win and loss. Stox was an average leader during a competitive stretch of NW.
[close]

11. Mack [New] (69)
Spoiler
Although not a leader in the sense of linebattles, he started a model of a regiment where no one person commanded it. This was revolutionary to NW where there were large systems of power divided among leaders, subordinates and rankers. In the 9y with the system of equality it attracted a unique group of people who went on to be a dominant force in NANW and forever reshape the scene, even challenging the likes of the 12th during their prime.
[close]
12. Drew -1 (65)
Spoiler
Most people probably do not remember Drew but he lead the 18e (https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/index.php?topic=3686.0) in 2013. I joined this regiment and the fact that Drew nearly beat the 12th with their being an admin decision that decided the game was something I'll always remember. He's an example of a contender regiment which formed out of humble beginnings and was able to challenge a big name regiment relatively fast. I keep him on this list as he was a good friend of mine and a great person to know. He highlights that you don't need big shot's to be the best, similar to the 63e.
[close]

Reasoning: The majority of my lists are from the 2012-2016 era of NW. I still played throughout 2017-2018 but these times saw a lot of the big named regiments and players leave or experience lots of their core members moving away from NW. It also saw the concentration of skill based players in relatively few regiments which allowed leaders like Lawbringer to have good melee despite poor leadership. I believe 2013-2016 was the best era and highlighted the diversity of skill among North American regiments and the amount of 'contender' regiments that arose such as the 18th and 14th/1a. My lists includes accomplishments from organized linebattle events but I also draw a fair bit out of 1v1's that were done before these. There is also a lot done in terms of the legacy and influence of these leaders. This is exemplified in leaders such as Millander and Karth who are still remembered today despite not being as competitive of a regiment as others.

Disclaimer: I still didn't play against a lot of regiments though so it's hard to formulate opinions on certain leaders such as Alexander, Ody, & KnightofStJohn, etc. These are based mostly on my tenure in the 63e, 71st, and LG.

This list is subject to change

Interesting place to put Grim. As much as I get he may have put unofficial matches on his 1v1 list (tbh EU doesn't really have this so I dont really care), he was still the only leader to beat 12th. Not just by camping either. The tenure of 3eVolt while he was the leader was something like 7-8 months more than the 63e spent at the top of competitive NA.

Whether or not you agree with that I'm not really bothered because after all you are biased towards 63e. but the 63e was always a decent regiment, then they had a bunch of people join for like 2 months, winning NWL then all proceeded to bandwagon off elsewhere.

+1

Two of the 12th's losses were from the 3eVolt. Grimsight is a very underrated leader, in my opinion. You may take that as a bias as I did serve for him for over a year and a half, but he is HIGHLY underrated.

Even as a member of the 2te I didn't quite know if Mack deserved a leadership spot simply because he wasn't a defacto leader, especially with lines. However, I did also give Zen and Offizer a spot for organization of a large regiment so I suppose he also deserves a spot for the regiment model he invented.

For the next list please rank all 1k+ members of the 63e throughout its tenure.
Easier said then done  ::)

I'm not saying he's overrated or underrated, just that in the grand scheme of NW I think others accomplished more.

I didn't play against him enough but I just went off of what people in my regiments said which was that he wasn't good, and in the premier game of NANW, the TNWL finals, he lost. If you can provide some videos of him shitting on a tier 1 regiment I'm open for a change on my list.

Yeah the problem with tournaments is there isnt really a "season" like tournament seasons on CSGO for example, so its hard to gauge how good a leader is during the downtime of tournaments. Grim successfully kept 3eVolt in the top 3 of NA, despite AsianP and some of his followers leaving for at least a year. When you had rising stars like 71st, 12th, 63e, 58e etc. all coming and going at the same time. Thats worth giving props to.

Are you using a 8-9 loss to the favorites of TNWL as a black mark for his leading? He was going up against a really good regiment and leading core.

And as for NANWL S6, it was IB that led the IV not Law. Law led against the 4th, but got outplayed in the first two rounds and said he wasn't up for it and IB took over and we lost 4-6.

Like I said, it's based on my time in the 63e, 71st and LG and we did not play Lawbringer very often, or at least enough for me to recollect and form a definitive enough opinion to rank.

didnt law lead like an hour long match against the 63e? I mainly just remember Ib leading the back and law the front

It was a mix that match with IB and Law switching off the front. As for who led the front/back. IB led the line and Law at the back. Some of our matches Law didn't lead at the back at all, but Bertrem (Armada) led some rounds and Maplemoose when he came did rounds here and there.

He also had a ton of extremely good 'recruits' join last minute before that linebattle. If I had more to base him off of then I would consider giving him a spot but as far as I know he lost the only linebattle I played against him in one that had extreme importance. Like I said, it's based on my time in the 63e, 71st and LG and we did not play Lawbringer very often, or at least enough for me to recollect and form a definitive enough opinion to rank.

PJ and Jackie were the only new recruits we got during TNWL and PJ came to almost every match. Jackie came to 2 matches I believe.

I am not trying to say Law is some god tier leader, I don't think as a standalone Law really has a place on a leading list. But, like Waste he was needed in all his regiments for them to be successful. It should be AsianP/Lawbringer, but you also have AsianP/Grimsight and AsianP/Autobockfried. Pick and choose your flavor. They all had their different styles together. I think it says a lot about AsianP as a leading looking at it now lol

I had figured AsianP was a rather solo leader, or at least that's how I had remembered him. I'll do some research and come back with my findings.

Ye, to say Lawbringers leadership was poor, wouldn't be fair.

I don't think I'd put him in a top 10 (But I also might, I've never actually thought very much about a leaders list)

But he at least deserves an honorable mention imo

Every couple months I have to defend my placement against the various nerds I've rustled over the years. The most annoying tradition.

Karth is NOT #1 by any means. He relied insanely on hill camping and shooting. He would actively try to get as hilly a map allowable in 1v1s so he wouldn't have to melee. This is your 63e bias showing.

The 12th leadership should be #1, set in stone, anyone disagreeing really does not know what they are talking about

Good on Asian at #3

Cheeseypants is a good leader but was not a contender nearly as long. Also was not a contender at all until some of the best meleers to touch the game joined his regiment. And you cite the 71st beating a Lawbringer reg as the big accomplishment? zoinks!

Russianfury I can't comment on. Waste? When my mic was broken, I had to lead through chat and we still had no trouble. The Nr37 was one of the regiments the 3eVolt would consistently defeat. Waste's leadership would not come into consideration until AFTER the hayday of the 71st, 12th, 63e, AND 3eVolt. Likewise with Russian, but I don't know what he was up to during those days.

In my one official LB leading against AsianP, I/we beat him. (3eVolt vs 58e). I think Asian has a couple reasons to be above me but I have earned my spot behind him.

Millander is one of the greatest leaders, but I find it funny you place him 7th when you state yourself you have 0 knowledge of him leading. Sign of this list devolving further into retardation

The only reason the 1a/14th won season 1 of NWL was because the 12th and 3eVolt were placed into league 2 for some reason. The 1a was never a contender. How can you include Wardop but omit someone like Alexander?

Grim is spot on. Its one thing for the normal plebs to say these things, but the perspective of leaders who actually spend most days of a week, every week for years is much different.

Theres so much that Leaders process when in 1v1's that make or break your 1v1 record. Karth sat on a hill and afk'd for an hour while his guys shot. Thats not really leading. If you were to rank him on his actual abilities which was picking up the 63e from ruins, building a huge community, thats because he was a fantastic administrator who could lead to the ability people expected of him. Tico should go to #1 because not only did Tico have a good regiment in terms of overall skill, he had the leading capability to go with it.

Personally Karth should go 7th, then the rest should move up 1.

Millander is an odd one, I don't think you can really put him high on any list just because like Lurvy said, he doesn't want to be known for that. He was more engrossed by his community which he carried on in the 15e. Not to mention the 1stFKI was dominant in a time where there was nobody to challenge them in NA to the fullest extent.

Cheesey is another strange one, 71st's 1v1 record for the most part was against mostly mid tiered regiments. Then I remember 3eVolt did a 1v1 which I attended, they played really well and then they really stepped into the light and did well for the year or so up until they disbanded.

Every couple months I have to defend my placement against the various nerds I've rustled over the years. The most annoying tradition.

Karth is NOT #1 by any means. He relied insanely on hill camping and shooting. He would actively try to get as hilly a map allowable in 1v1s so he wouldn't have to melee. This is your 63e bias showing.

The 12th leadership should be #1, set in stone, anyone disagreeing really does not know what they are talking about

Good on Asian at #3

Cheeseypants is a good leader but was not a contender nearly as long. Also was not a contender at all until some of the best meleers to touch the game joined his regiment. And you cite the 71st beating a Lawbringer reg as the big accomplishment? zoinks!

Russianfury I can't comment on. Waste? When my mic was broken, I had to lead through chat and we still had no trouble. The Nr37 was one of the regiments the 3eVolt would consistently defeat. Waste's leadership would not come into consideration until AFTER the hayday of the 71st, 12th, 63e, AND 3eVolt. Likewise with Russian, but I don't know what he was up to during those days.

In my one official LB leading against AsianP, I/we beat him. (3eVolt vs 58e). I think Asian has a couple reasons to be above me but I have earned my spot behind him.

Millander is one of the greatest leaders, but I find it funny you place him 7th when you state yourself you have 0 knowledge of him leading. Sign of this list devolving further into retardation

The only reason the 1a/14th won season 1 of NWL was because the 12th and 3eVolt were placed into league 2 for some reason. The 1a was never a contender. How can you include Wardop but omit someone like Alexander?
I find your inability to read laughable. I have stated multiple times now that this doesn't have 100% to do with leading. It has a lot to do with influence. I don't have to be in Millander's regiment to know how influential it was to so many people, in the same way that I only had to play a few linebattles with the 63e against you to know you act like a whiny girl you are when you get shot to shit. You literally told your guys to spread out 5 man spacing in a 1v1 because us shooting so distressed you that you lost your shit.

I have additionally stated that I have not formed opinions on people who I have not played against. Did I jump  the gun against Lawbringer? Perhaps. Is he even a top 10 leader to some people? Usually not. Defeating your own argument within the argument.. isn't an argument.

To go to Karth, I have him on number 1 due to his influence in addition to his leading. The 63e is the largest NA regiment to every exist in NW history. The 63e itself is a huge gaming community with hundreds of members and its NW servers were massive, most notably the siege. The 63e wasn't that good, you all are right, but it still stayed competitive regardless. Funny that you all say we hill camped but the reality was that there was usually one hill on the 1v1 maps we chose so obviously someone is going to go for it. Are you trying to say you would give up the tactical advantage of the hill, Mr. Pioneering Tactics? This argument is both flawed and laughable.

At the end of the day I made this list to put together a group of individuals who I considered to be the best tactically and most influential, and I have stated in the thread that it isn't solely on leading. It still makes no sense to say that relying on shooting isn't a big thing. AsianP against the LG was always the LG attacking them and them (the 3e) shooting more then us. Does this mean the entire 3eVolt should be removed from all lists because it's hypocritical of its own leadership? Each regiment has strengths and it's the character of the leader to work around those. How do you think the AEF beat the 3eVolt? By charging them? No. They went Erwin Rommel and played their own game by shooting more.

Attacking other regiments for playing to their own strengths is the hallmark of a failed leader. You have so inflated your own ego that you refuse to realize that other regiments have a better understanding of what to do then yourself and yours. Playing to one's strength is literally the point of the game and boils all the way to duels. Should the Viet Cong have fought in the open because the American's didn't like it? Potentially the worst argument I've heard.

Wardop additionally is a person who I put on there because he still won NWL which isn't exactly an easy feat, even beating us in a super close match.  Perhaps if the 3e hadn't disbanded for the 30th time it could have played in that NWL and won it, but it didn't.

Cheesey winning that many NWL's is no joke. I never met a leader who was actually charismatic enough to attract such a large crowd of people. Again, perhaps if the 3e hadn't disbanded as always it could have played in those same NWL's, but it didn't.

Karth's influence is massive and I have heard of no other NW regiments to bring in hundreds of recruits every holiday.

I think you seem to miss understand the point William. The point of a regiment isn't just to monopolize the game and see who can recruit the most. All of that work wasn't done by just Karth. Is this not about the leader specifically?

Once again we are talking about LEADERS and their capabilities, not colonels and their ability to spend money.

Is Millander an Icon or a good leader? You seem to get the two mixed up. Either he is a good leader or he wasn't. If the guy didn't even enjoy 1v1's, then I doubt he was even tested to the best of his abilities therefor you can't really place him on a list for leaders. Put him on a list for influential individuals where someone like Karth deserves to be #1.

Nobody said that Cheesey wasn't deserving of his title. I for one enjoyed every LB played against 71st. What I said was, they had a crazy good year long run where they topped NW.

I think you misunderstand the point. A monopoly forms whenever no one else can form any competition to a particular product or service. The 63e was smart enough to see the future, invest in it by having THEIR players get on it, and recruiting. It's the same with how the popular EU siege servers moved around from 84e to 33rd, etc. It's entirely about the influence of the leader and how much he puts into his members that determines what he will get out of them.

To Millander, I think he was both. However, when I played against him in a 1v1 in the 44th we stomped him. This doesn't mean he is a terrible leader, but he is still very much an important person in the community. There's really not much to misunderstand on that; He was influential to most people who had any idea of who he was. The role of Millander in NW is different to everybody but to me almost any person I ever talked to knew him and had a funny story to tell about him and his crazy afro.

at the end of the day it is all opinion. These are my opinions based on my experiences. Obviously other people are going to be different, in the same way that 3eVolt want more 3eVolt or 5th want more 5th or 63e want more 63e. These are all just massive conflations of egos into one thread.

He wasn't though. 63e was at its best when he left. Offizer turned the 63e into a respected regiment. I mean, look at the cavalry company at that time. They were able to compete with tier 2 cavalry regiments, because he allowed them growth. Karth comes back and disbands it right when the 63e cavalry was about to push themselves into the tier 1 category.

That is a critique I have of Karth; That he didn't foster much growth outside of his guard company in addition to the line companies. I think it was disappointing that very little growth happened but Ray and I both did good jobs with our respective specialist companies, mine being skirms and his being cavalry when he did allow us to branch off. I think Ray just just cared less and that's why the 63e got bigger and expanded more outside of line infantry

I think it was a tie, and neither of us was there to lead. Think it was like one of Vortex's first times leading, and idk who was actually there roster-wise.

Yeah I remember that. Despite being SgtMaj of 3eVolt I invited with about 4 others because AEF only brought 5 people. As usual. On the last round I clutched 1v6 after teamkilling 3 times and won them the draw so thats abit of a silly event to take seriously.

AsianP literally said to me afterwards "Fuck you Price you know they are gonna shit talk that"

This was a fun post to read. Really brings back my memories of so many fantastic leaders I had the privilege of playing with (and against) when I was active in this community.

I'll be first to say 1v1's were never my forte nor my interest. For all my perceived ability I was never good at outflanking an enemy line in a 1v1 setting. Many of my members, myself included, were reenactors drawn to the large-scale public linebattles. We strove for historical authenticity and were far more attracted to large-scale drill and tactics than individual skill. There I felt we performed our best and had the most fun. That's where we found NW to be unique and most exciting to us. If this is a contest of 1v1 leadership I'd certainly be near the bottom.

We did enjoy 1v1 success in the first year of NW when I lead the 1stFKI but that was far more a testament to the skill and dedication of members like Mack, Coconut, Pepper, and many other members who went on to do awesome work in the NW community. 

To be honest, commanding in events is the easy part. The hard part of being a leader in this game is putting your community's needs and wishes ahead of your own. The role of a leader in this game is to give their members a good time. Promoting community outside events, recruiting new members, and showing yourself to be a mentor and a friend. That's where I found NW to be exhausting -  and rewarding.

I failed many times though. There were times I allowed my own ego and personal metrics for success silence others. Many times friends of mine felt compelled to leave my regiments and form there own. Pepper and IceArmy left to form the 1erPLG. Mack left to form the 9y. In the end, I'm very glad they did since they (and their fellow officers) both went on to establish fantastic regiments. These failures taught me life lessons and allowed me to grow as a leader and a person. Would these failures, rooted in my sometimes inability to change the direction of my community, knock me down this list?  I can't decide.

And that's perhaps the core of the philosophy I developed over leading regiment in Mount and Musket and NW. There is no single quantifiable metric to state that X leader is better than Y leader. What are your most fond memories of this game? Mine certainly arent the line battles, it's the fond memories of playing games with my friends. The regiment leader's job is to be humble and foster a community and a safe space for their members to thrive in. I can't think of how you'd put that on a list.

Never forget all the times Russian wanted to charge across the map and get shot to shit but I forced him to wait out the timer and play it safe

Also to Grim's comment about constantly smashing the Nr37, that was when we were a regiment of 15 people right after the 1stEPG disbanded. Competitive Nr37 was around during the time of 71st, 18th and 63e. I don't remember playing the 3eVolt much if you guys were even around at that time. We couldn't beat the 71st, it was usually close though. We went 2-1 vs the 18th, and the 63e we had an overall losing record but we took some wins against them. We had no competition in league 2, would have been fun to see how we did in league 1, Nr37 then became 58e after I went away for roughly 9 months.

This was all around NANWL season 3 - 4, neither of which the 3eVolt was in.

You listen here you earth fairy, we were capable of beating both 18th and Odyreg. Also it clearly states on the NANWL thread that we were undefeated. The real score may have been 5-5 but through the rules of glorius NANWL we won 6-4.

I change my statement, we had a single competitor in league 2, PSG could have smacked all the league 1 regiments aswell save 71st, 63e, then probably close with 18th and Odyreg

Also on a final note, Cheeseypants is the most strategically annoying player I've ever gone against when I was in the Nr37 and 58e

i dont think u woulda beat ody reg or the 18th imo you got tied by a trash reg with Knight of St John's first time leading a 1v1 after we were on the brink of collapse from Mockingjay being tired of the game and trolling and also Red Viper leading the first 2 rounds (???)

and by glorious NANWL rule do u mean Zzehth forcing an 11th round as a melee only all charge?

I am no one to judge, but you seem a really nice person. Ive seen videos of your regiments, threads as well. All was very organised and structured. I have also read about what you achieved and did for the community. Also not partaking in the dramas in the community but just having fun with your friends in the regiment. A lot of leaders forget to help each person individually and just only care about the better players in their regiments making the lower skilled people feel useless. Like not having a point why they should stay. As I said Im no one to judge, but I find you a perfect example for someone in this community and a leading officer in a reg. Hats of to you man. Even though Im EU, I would be really happy to see you from time to time on this forum and ingame.

It was pretty funny when they did an all melee round instead of just resetting the round after the OA. If I remember correct they changed the score back to 5-5, then found out Mang was playing for you guys without your knowledge and he was slapping us so they changed it back.

And pfft, we beat both Ody reg and 18th just would have depended on who was on for each side

Mang didn't really even do that much tbf he was not doing better than 75% of our guys. And iirc ya'll were playing North and you knew he was banned from the league. It should've have been a draw anyway since we both played illegal players but they just gave it to you guys for some reason
