I don't want this to be mistaken. Astralis will be aggressive to all those we've been fighting for so long as Frisia is still in the fight. We will not allow them to stand alone
Question; are you only counting na controlled fiefs?
Come on NA, we need more red lines. WotN with Squids cant be the only ones with red lines.
I think gforce has more or less declared war on any na faction that has dealings with any eu faction that isn't with the UIF.

I know it's a work in progress, but is it possible to have the real strat map behind it? And will the map image be shrunken? K thanks don't want to get on your nervs! :)
Shouldn't it look like this?
~Unless it is actually a 3 way war in which they all actively fight one another, then it should remain the same.
Maybe for the ultimate guide, you can put borders around factions, Green meaning Free Trade. Red meaning Closed Borders.
That would be pretty easy to do, only problem being that most factions aren't entirely open or entirely closed. I would have to make a complete map, but that isn't entirely out of the question.
Missing remnerds from list (it appears)
excuse me gentlemen, but could someone explain the numbers that are on the clans? For Example Holy Guard has 1-9 on it what does that mean?

I probably didn't find a battle listing from your faction.
Don't sloths own 3 fiefs?(click to show/hide)
you need funny icons like Knute
I approve the new updated pic.
Tasa Clan seal of approval.
The Merrymen have merged into The Marauders also :D
Updated with WIP icons.Give us Rondel Sheridan
I lied, it wasn't a big update.You didn't even addin our icon
GeForce merged with yet another clan? What's the point?
FPF owns EU Fisdnar and NA Fisdnar.
This only concerns NA though, hence the Exclusion.Assumed fiefs didn't matter but factions did.
the mates are no longer a faction, i got bored and quit rip
There are still 10+ people in the faction, so it stays on the map.
I think an alliance line is missing between Geforce and the Squids
Who are you and what does your dad do?
Again, it's not just Ayikke. Nice try tho Mae
Neither of which is pertinent to the discussion at hand. So why not come out and publically state the obvious? You guys are allied. They've helped you immensely in the fief department. I'm not just talking about Ayikke.
You guys are protesting too much, clearly he speaks the truth: ALLIANCE!!! :wink:
Obviously another example is needed. They attacked Mijayet a day or two before you guys took it.... ie softening it up. Unprovoked I might add. And that's with just a little digging.
>>Ugh, sure. That is exactly what I'm saying. Those tricky Geforce players losing to strengthen fiefs!<<
I see the sarcasm must have been lost on you.
Again, softening them up. ;-)
Well, Thanks to: AoW, WoN Astralis has quit strat, more or less. One less faction you guys have to worry about. You put everyone back into mortal so no one really plays strat save but a few. Hell, i don't even bother trying to get strat ticks much anymore.
Astralis playing MO now?
Also nice job Arty/Rhalzo.
Not super really. If you have...STB I believe, you can get the Political map in 2 seconds.
Such a downer anders..
Y u do dis?
But is astralis playing MO now?

That's a bit simplisticly one sided. Astralis quit strat because Astralis quit strat. They quit strat because they lost a war. Surely they had the choice to regroup and carry on, or quit and not be arsed. That bit was their choice and not much to do with AoW/WoN.
Jesus, you're as bad as Murdertron. STB is pretty broken - and this is more accessible anyway. Good job Arty and Rhalzo!
It's not even finished, still more stuff to be added, I just thought people might be interested in seeing where it's at.
mostly making the political map because cartography is cool
It's not even finished, still more stuff to be added
No. We had a fief and a regroup area, but AoW attacked that and took it and then sold it to w/e the desert alliance is now. You'd be surprised how many "no we can't attack them cause AoW" or "To big" or...
Losing all your fiefs usually makes clans not want to play strat. especially when the leader doesn't want anything to do with this "meta Alliance BS" that is/has gone on.
It's also easy to blame it on the players for not caring, but when you have a fief (I do believe you or your faction does, please correct this) it's easy to look down on someone. Astralis still plays, but without a fief to defend most players don't care. By removing astralis from the map, you removed roughly 15 players from strat that moderately cared. No one in the faction wants to spend the effort to actually organize anything because that kills your life.
Actually this is exactly what happened to me - The Lonely Fun Squad - won a fief over two sieges cos the first time grubby Acre wanted merc money for AI; then the next day we (my two man clan) lost it to Marauders cos, fuck them and all their players and large armies. It was shit and annoying but once I got over the - WHAAAA FUCK STRAT THIS IS SHIT AND TOTALLY NOT WORTH IT - I started trade grinding again, equipped my army and joined up with my Dracul buds (and if Arty etc had continued to be in GOBBLINS I probs would have joined some other random small clan e.g. Mango or Havelle instead).
TLDR: If Astralis was made up of 20x me's - they'd still be playing strat (COS WE'RE CRAZY!).

Now can we scrounge up the player we need in a battle that happens to be ours? Sure. We do have nearly 20 people on in TS daily, but most prefer not to play strat because there is nothing to fucking do beside trade trade trade, since we can't really attack anyone.
People can give excuses and reasons all they want, the fact is strat is a ghost town when only 11 people are showing up for an AI castle defense during NA Prime time:
yeah there was also the 1200 vs 1800 at noon EST today which was a 15 v 7 flag cap (the 1200 capped flags). id say strat in NA is pretty done.
The bigger clans need to NOT wipe people off the map. it doesn't do anyone any good. It drives people away in all actuality, and poof, strat is dead.
I disagree Matey. They attack the last of the small clan's strongholds.
What if they laid actual siege? Surround it with their armies... or truly focused on shutting down their own borders? It's the wipe that should be avoided... not the war.
i do agree it sucks to see clans wiped out and not coming back, i just dont see how to stop it from happening.
The small clans, and by small I refer to fief size, not numbers... get swarmed by the big clans..wait. what? so like JUST AS AN EXAMPLE.. if squids (12 highly active dudes, but only 12) go after someone like lco,acre, dsep or mb(40+)... we should say poor big 'little' guy.. are we treating larger factions like golden retrievers now?

There is your issue, people just throw in the towel once they have been "beaten". Doesn't matter if it is a small clan or large clan, most just give up and don't return.
I've lost track of how many times I've been wiped off the map. Sometimes it's nice to restart after things are stagnant for awhile. Maybe other people aren't quite the same way though. If you're going to get wiped out, at least put up a fight to get some XP out of your shit before it's gone.Being wiped is like an opportunity to restart, no one believes you're a threat if they've taken all your fiefs.
Keep up the great work everyone! I'm so proud of each and every one of you.

Hate to make you update the map again Arty, but Nova Reyvadin is part of Acre with Desire joining the banner.
Don't forget to add mine, Switch's and Heskeytime's new faction! We own Tulga :) - But still do not have a faction name :(
What happened to the KFC??
Yeah is a shame :( Now we have no idea what to call ourselves.. ^^

66 towns controlled by 6 clans.
Seriously, where's the fun? None of the big boys fight each other. Special Education goes after the easy wins, and only easy wins. None of the smaller factions can gain any ground... the bullies on the block won't let them. It's merge this clan, ally with this one...
And I think the funny part of it all is that EU clans think the grass is greener over here. They'll learn tho.
assuming those 6 are not all allied together then its a step up from EU. but yeah NA has its mega-alliance issues too.. its still not as bad as EU though

On any given day, look how many "real fights" are taking place in EU. Maybe one or two. And they're taking place against a gigantic slav hive-mind that a very large part of EU has decided to ignore, and a few have even decided to move to NA.
Now, look how many fights take place on any given day in NA. Maybe a fight against AI that 30 defenders at the most will sign up, more likely 20. There are a few in which factions that don't give a shit will attack lucrative targets with a lot of crates.
Even so, think about how many "good" fights have taken place in NA in the entire strategus round. I can't think of a single one that has not had a 10 or more player disparity between the factions.
Strategus has no consensual sex. Only brutal rape. Let's just get on with the full plate rondel daggers fights for XP because every sane participant knows that is the end goal.

If you're caught in Special Education area without talking to someone you will be attacked because it's called closed borders, if you make yourself an 'easy target' that shits on you doggie.
Don't worry guise. Tasa Clan will soon go to war.
Strat shall live.
Switch even if ALL of the rest of EU besides Kap, Grey and DRZ united together to attack them, they would stand no chance of making a dent in them. You'd need some massive coordination and would need lots of people buying and selling the S&D in their fiefs to burn S&D.
>>Then get your shit together, and stop calling us out on our shit.<<if you're an outsider looking in, then please stop saying that we are all forming F.C.C
And all because I called a duck... a duck.
Please update the map to show that I have claimed Jelbegi Castle as my Wizard Fortress of Solitude. Please continue to leave it alone.

You claim our claim so I'm gonna claim your claim on our claim.well I claim your claim on his claim on your claim
Yeah; I think Acre is breaking up. SR wants out of the war and are thinking about dropping Acre. Hell, James is even selling fiefs to EU.
There is no end to your bullshit rofl. Desire desired an independent state the entire time. We helped her with security from GoW. That isn't a problem anymore. Also my vassals are free despite what propaganda you may believe.A vassal is a person who has entered into a mutual obligation to a lord or monarch
I think he means his vassals were free to choose to be vassals, or choose to be independent.Well I guess that his vassals want out now. That is just an observation when Calamari showed me steam message with Harx

No one can own the mountains, but thankfully we can still own the sea!
Mountains are international territory.
Put us back at war with the squids, because fuck the squids.
If they came in our lands we might attack them, on account of being broke-ass bitches, but if we went in their lands they'd sure as shit attack us.

Pussy bitch. Stop hiding like acre.

ORRR you could build up while we fuck around in the north and pull of a flank/backstab on us to spice up strat some more :D(click to show/hide)
ORRRR Marauders and Squids can split, and the Marauders can pull off the ultimate backstab.
Well considering 90% play CS GO now(including the leader of Marauders now) and all ive been doing is roaming the map trading, if anything it would end up helping the squids by giving them everything.
Edit: Almost all the fighting the Squids have been doing is all their own guys too, Marauders really is basically afk'ing.
So what you're saying is... if the Marauders were to split, the squids would have everything. How is that different from the current situation? IE the Marauders are afk, so it's the squids running everything?
All the trade routes/silver they would get. They could then sell the fiefs and whatnot. Would also open Marauders up for a nice attack from acre.
But would the Marauders really care? They're afk afterall. It's ok Bob. We can find you a new home. ;-)
No, but this is easier/better. You wouldn't understand as you don't play strat ;-)
Sadly, would love to have an updated thing, but even I can't keep track of who's at war with who at this point.
So when are we dropping all the bull shit and invading EU cuz i want some god damn fish and chips.
