Sounds interesting, but there was not that much interest in Aemaelius player driven personal tournament, and only ~6 different clans did show interest in his clan-ladder.
I would rather have some simple more refreshing gamemodes like conquest, and let tournaments be player driven
Although this is great idea chadz, it might not work too well atm with the low number of clans. Your idea would be much better when our clan count increases which would increase the likelihood of more clans participating
(...)
First there is the public game, normal battles, sieges, and other upcoming gamemodes.
(...)
You could outsource this and let the community run it, while giving us the tools to do so...
I'd be perfectly fine with that. It was actually your effort that made me think how clan competition could work in cRPG. That's why I think different equipment than standard cRPG is a must, so it might actually cater to other clans from other mods too, though.
So, how about this:
Every player can make a "battlegroup" on the crpg site.
You could give it a name and buy as much equipment for it as you want.
Then, it could work like this: You host a server with the gametype "battlegroups", and an admin/by vote (?) you can set a battlegroup for each team. (Two input fields, and you just enter the id of battlegroup for the first team, and the id of the battlegroup for the 2nd team).
The game reloads, people can pick whatever team they want, and can do any kind of game they want (peasants vs black knights, clan competition, etc)
I like the idea of randomized cash flow for each match.... but how would you enforce that? a posted equipment list before each match?
Said clanless players :D At least i dont know if krampe is in some clan > faction: ponyTrue, rather needless to say so as clanless player but i just dropped by and was a bit disappointed when I read "gamemode" that this wasn't about release of CTF, conquest, even TDM or something totally new. :(
He is HRE member, and he thinks laddergames have something to do with ladderpulting people and climbing epic skyladders very fast, so actually he is just trolling!
That said, I can already see the mercs topping this ladder forever.
How about also a non-clan orientated ladder? [...] So people form a group and give it a stupid name and then fight.
Also I think clans should be able to participate with more than one team. So that for example the Fallen because of being a lot of active members can participate with an A and a B team :)
There can be different ladders, for 5v5, 10vs10 and 15vs15, don't think more is required.

And maybe add some special items that can be purchased with rating points (to keep things balanced items that just have a special skin, but identical stats with a normal item, so they are just for show-off and don't affect anything else), pretty much like the arena/rated bg system from WoW.
while this seems a nice enough mode, i'd rather see other stuff like ctf or something working first.
The poll options are skewed. For those who vote: Yes. they select the first option.In principle you're right. But this kind of polls are due to some mystical ancient crpg traditions and the "i hate you" vote is no equivalent to no. Simply ignore it.
Yet for those who vote no, they must select one of two (Wouldn't participate, and I would rather hate you). This divides the population of those who do not support into two bars making it seem like more people support the Yes vote in relation to the No vote.
Amirite?
CAPS TARD SPOTTED
chadz just a suggestion for Strategus.
Why dont you add tournaments(Held by landowners) The landowners would decide the rules,map.
And seeing that I "guess" land owners would be rich they'd set gold winnings. Then there could be bets.
Just like SP. This would give something loners on strategus to look forward to.
Don't see the point when we have strategus. its much more strategical than this idea, and therefore a better show of which is the best clan. surely rank 1 clan is one with the most holdings!
You really don't know anything about strategus, do you?
I want strategus back.The league idea shows cRPG a game,and I am in cRPG cos I would like to live in medieval times.I want something serious in this mod.Also I dont wanna call strategus battles ''match'' ...I dont see it is a match..It is a battle...I take strategus seriously and I want it back.Actually, i agree. Implementing some sort of a ladder system with tournaments being held IN Strategus (like in single player) would be totally brilliant. Some crpg/strategus rewards for winning would be cool too.
ps:it is my personal opinion,so just respect it and dont write here some ridicilous comments.
thanks
This is one brilliant idea! :DTowns and castles, I think, could both support melee tournaments and jousting. Probably any settlement can support archery (ranged) tournaments and private duels.
Propably needs a tweak to make it profitable for the landowner, i.e. bets or sumthing and restriction when it is possible to make.
Think the tournament could be a feature for Town owners.

Keep the ladder out of strategus... Its for sports and strategus is seriooos.Sports and politics walk hand to hand.

Just image a strategic map 'behind the battles...People fight for 2 allied factions (they join in website). Battles determines the result of the strategic map war. Siege (towns-castles) gives bonus.

They just fight and it gives a final result.
We have something similar already. It is called Strategus. Or you are really joking? :DDamn, i can't explain myself...No, i wasn't joking. The idea was make something 'more tactical for CRPG. I guess Strategus is great, but sometimes you prefer something 'lighter (time). A goal for CRPG battles was what i was suggesting. Anyway, i'll make a better explained suggestion.
Whats so hard about doing both.
the proposed ladder system should have nothing to do with strategus. strat is a giant "total war" scenario, and the ladder would be competitive team play for rankings.
small and large team combat with pre-registered TEAMS
Like a sport.
Its not about your strategus clans, or taking away from the overall gameplay at all.
Start a season with definate start and end times,
and then field a sign up sheet and see how many teams (note teams, not clans) get registered.
If there is not enough participation, then dont do it.
But, as the ladder continues, you can bet more teams will join and more people will want to join and form league teams.
I am simply envisioning TDM matches btw.

I think this would make the loner much happier on Strategus.
I dont play strat. but thanks.
I play the game for its simplicity, fun, and the fact that it isnt a huge time sink for me with my family.
A Ladder for the casual gamer like myself would be awesome. And it would be reason enough to start lobbying to get on a team
would be great!! so far I had no reason to join a clan, but now, hm
After watching shogunate videos changed my mind, actually looks like fun. less strategical but more competitive than strategus.
Yeh it is great fun to orgaisne your whole team with TS :). It would be a great idea to have a ladder system which will make cRPG more competititive, strategus will be for the strategic side.i have to admit i lost a bit interest in strategus since banner balance came out. my primary objective was always playing battles in an organized team and i don't quite care if they will be done in strategus or in a way more easier crpg way.
- Clans can attack people some ranks higher than them
Great Idea!
It's great for lower level clans, but if we are on the top of the board then we can't attack ?
And then there could be a ladder, a highly standardized competition where clans fight other clans in clear conditions.
Are people in general interested in this? Or isn't this cRPG-ish enough?
I love it chadz, but I'd rather have strategus back first :D
