About Us
The Maestrichtsche Compagnie is based on companies who
were garrisoned in Maastricht (In that time called "Maestricht") during the 80 years of war. The companies
existed mostly from Austrians,Dutch(volunteers) and Swiss mercenaries,who also fought
at the siege of Maastricht in 1579. We stand for Historical accuracy and try to keep the historical accuracy
as high as possible,this means; Historical flags,rank system,
language,formations etc etc etc.

What Do We Seek In Players?
Everyone can join,no matter of age and nationality but
in turn we expect active and disciplined members especially
minors (-16).
Ranking Up
It seems hard to rank up in the most clans.
I've been trough this a few times and sometimes
I really had to fight to become a private or
related ranks,not at this clan! Enjoy a 2/3 week bootcamp
and graduate and get the rank Infanterij. If you take/took
extra trainings and/or graduate with better grades you
can earn the rank Gefreijtene,which you can rank up faster
then Infanterij. Like my grandmother always said "creativity will be rewarded"
this concludes making signatures,rank avatars,organizing things for the
clan and inventing (useful) tactics,heroic acts will also be rewarded.
Heroic acts can be: Jumping into enemy ranks to distract the enemy so
your colleague's can reload the canon or take a objective,etc etc etc
House Orders And Recipients
Because I can't reward everyone with
giving higher positions or giving medals,
because this would it very unhistorical I
made a few House Orders,these are
embroidered orders which comes in a few
types:
Military House Order:
These is the hardest House Order to get,you can
earn this with heroic actions,leadership and/or
long duty and loyalty.
Civilian House Order:
These are one of the easiest to get. You
can earn this with doing things for the company
outside the game,with making signatures,avatars,
making the medals
Religion House Order:
You can earns these with executing "Ketters" (Protestant enemies)
