Title: Village movement. Lets make village fights interesting again!
Post by: RamsesXXIIX on July 20, 2011, 11:55:49 pm
As most have experienced by now, fighting for villages in strategus battles is absolute shit. 9/10 ends in a spawnrape, and that's not what strategus should be. Its boring and repetitive for everyone.

To do something about this, The Fallen Brigade and a number of clans have decided to create a movement to make village fights interesting again. We call this movement:
The Village Movement

So, what it is YOU and these clans need to do?

You need to:
1) Sign up for as many village battles as possible, and with as many members as possible. Advertise this all around, and have people sign up early! The village AI is right now bugged or doesn't work very well, so you need to sign up very early.
2) Do your best and have fun on the village fights.
3) Don't have any grudges or sign up against particular clans. Sign up against (almost) all!

However, we will have some reservations:
1) We will allow clans to not sign up for their allies or clans with particular good relations. It is up to the clans themselves to decide who they won't sign up against, but all clans members of this movement should not have too many reservations.

2) We will sign up against all clans as much as possible, but we won't be targeting particular clans.

This movement aims to have:

1) More FUN and CHALLENGING strategus village battles! Spawnrape is boring, we want real battles!

2) NOT to hold any grudges or bad ties related to these village fights. I personally don't care if a clan keeps signing up against me, as long as its just AI villages.

Which clans supports and uses this policy?

Wanna join as a clan? Feel free to post here, and I'll add you to the group. I'm hoping to have even more clans signing up for good and challenging strategus fights!

Thanks to all the clans supporting and using this policy. Hopefully we'll see some more interesting village fights soon!

I'm not in clan, but i'm really interested, i remember old strat, when ppl fighted for village with enthusiasm, sometimes a leader of a clan took command for the village and we saw good defending tactics (even more for castle and town ofc but).

It could be very interesting if sometimes one of the good commander clans have, decide to lead abattle, he could open a thread in forum and prepare a real defense tactics.

How about a defender public teamspeak?

As long as the AI lasts obviously.

I'm sick and tired of waiting. And so are the rest of the people who signed up for this.

Why even have village battles if nobody signs up for them?

True, but they are still boring. Hopefully with this, we can get better battles for everyone. I signed up for all the battles I can be in today, I hope people will join in to defend the villages and have fun battles!

And make sure you're going to sign up soon enough, due to the buggy AI not hiring anyone in less than a hour. :)

5 minutes battles with 8 defenders really suck.

Add the BlackRose. A couple of us have participated in every neutral village battle that we could attend, bar those of our allies. We've seen a couple of good village defenses, but most of them haven't lasted more than 10 minutes. It's a real bummer, and definitely not how the game should be won, so sign us up.

Yeah. Would love to see those numbers against other clans too, like the bigger group of clans etc.  :)

Still, i'd like to see more battles where the village has around 50+ defenders. Just because it's more fun. :)

Fallen Brigade
Shogunate
Ninjas
Knights Templar
Inglorious Bastards
Searaiders
DeBitre
Great Khans
Holy Roman Empire
Risen

That's very nice, but, guys, where are you all?!
Today's evening battles were filled with ru-speaking players from The Union (Str_, Arnor_, T_), Druzhina, RuConquista, BIA with 22nd_Evgen commanding. Both HRE and GK battles were fun and countinued till the last ticket. Battle vs Shogunate was good too but due to diplomatic reasons The Union didn't sign up for village so there were about 25-35 fighters and we had no chances at all. I remember Ninjas and Seariders there, but where are others?

BTW HRE had bugged unreachable spawn point.

People really need to step up and sign up on the battles.
Title: Re: Village movement. Lets make village fights interesting again!
Post by: Thovex on July 23, 2011, 02:57:44 pm
Probably because the villagers hate HRE!

(Also need XP)

Would've been interesting to see other clans trying to capture villages with these spawn and roster changes.

Agree. I'm disappointed that this change came so late.
