[Strategus] How long should the maximum nighttime last?

With the NA/EU Map split, we are now under less pressure to be available at all times.
Having a fixed primetime is still a problem as within NA or EU are still several Timezones.

8 hours was always like a bare minimum to me, as some people tend to be 2-3 hours earlier going to bed or 2-3 hours later after f.e. 00:00 gmt+1

Me personally i like my sleep and need some time to get going in the morning, so for me it would be bare minimum 10 hours so to speak ^^, but with the NA/EU split i believe we could even get to 12hours or more maximum nighttime.

I would even make a case for 16 hours as for example those at work or in school or something would be able to take part in strategus battles. Then there would be perhaps some restrictions needed on battles as with less time available it could get rather difficult to say at what time now the initiated battle really takes place and the remaining hours of battle time could get cramped. Restrictions for example like we did have with autoresolve battles when 1/10 of an army is trying to lock down a 10x bigger army.


Also i'd like to see an option for rank 10 to set a default nightime for their faction. Individually still adjustable perhaps.

This game isn't about being skillful as much as its about saying things in general chat that enrage people who then go to murder you but in their rage they make dumb mistakes which gets them killed.

Any thoughts on

- a nighttime default per faction, setable by rank 10?
- ways to limit battles so that the good once still be played on good hours and the crap gear crap troop count perhaps may fall away? More isn't always better you know  :rolleyes:

We could maybe try 14 hours or something, but I'm worried people would use it against enemies again (setting nighttime on primetime)

Increase cool down time on when you can change it, it's a very arbitrary exploit ATM.

Make the cool down period like 3 days or so. Maybe it will still occur, but it will not be as attractive of an exploit anymore, having to run around with a completely distorted prime time.
When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back.

cool down time could go even up much more. People who want to goto holiday or on a long business trip or for what ever reason they change their living area for a longer time, would know also long before that. 3 days seems reasonable as minimum if you think of business trips on short notice though(who takes his laptop with him onto a buisness trip?). No-lifers normaly have also a fixed daily habits and things may come up but rather without so much planing, at least in my case, but there i wouldn't vote to increase the no-lifers chances but those who have a life and want to keep it!
I for myself, have only changed the nighttime once in each strategus sofar, so a high cooldwon time isn't even something which came to my mind could be a problem.

A cooldown between 3 days and 2 weeks seems appropriate.
And 14 hours would give most of us the opportunity to regulate the bare minimum of things we need to do daily without being too concerned about strat.

Still an option for rank 10 leaders, to set a default nighttime for all in the faction, would crown this system. Each member would still be able to adjust it to their needs, but noone would be left out and therefor, there can't happen the same old shit.

instead of night time, make option 10 hours of primetime so the remaining hours will be count as nighttime automatically
in that case if u set ur nighttime in prime time for enemy u also set prime time in shitty time for yourself
 1 time per week for the whole fraction in general, can change only 10 rank memeber in fractions setting
cool down time could go even up much more. People who want to goto holiday or on a long business trip or for what ever reason they change their living area
in that case just dont leave fief  :wink:
