I'm moderately curious to see how it works out with them in Rookland. The immediate effect I've noticed is that during the times I'm on, my perk point multiplier has dropped by about 0.3 to 0.5. I'd like it higher, but it's not that big of a deal to me.
I believe the Devil's Brigade's presence creates an interesting situation though. This is purely my perception, I don't watch the war that closely beyond 'where is the nearest interesting red bardar?'
It seems to me that the majority of Rookland's normal playerbase prefers to defend over attacking. It seems to me one of the most common complaints is that not enough people are moving mud in their favor. The Devil's Brigade from what I've seen, hits a base, takes it, and moves on. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me as though the two will work off one another, because if the other countries are going to try to take back a base, there's a lot of rooks looking for something to defend.
We'll just have to see I guess. I just wish people would quit yammering about the high standards of their chesspiece when people they don't agree with join their country. Last time I checked there was no contract that required signing to become a member of a country. Everybody flies how they want.
