37 hours in a row without sleep, you can do it too.
No, it's sunday, meaning the work week starts again promptly at 5am tomorrow morning. Fuck the EU/NA let's fight at stupid times shit.
This is no problem for clans that have about 50/50 Eu/NA population.Well only fallen have that
This is no problem for clans that have about 50/50 Eu/NA population.Bias anyone?

Keep NA and EU linked, this is war ffs, don't become casual friendly like 99% of the games, ppl that cant make it can just let their spot... I sure as hell wont be able to make it for 5am battles all the time but i will still wake up sometimes and fight just for the fun of it

Later in strategus, someone like The Fallen should get together with a few other folks and then just send a bunch of micro attacks against a clan every 2 hours for a whole day, win via sleep deprivation against the poor buggers! Continue this for three days solid.

Do you have autism?
Diplomacy, that's what you need. Find some Euro/NA friends who will fight for you if your clan can't make it. Problem solved.
dat ^^ war is war, do ya think that when people attacked others during the night the other guys went like : fu i'm working tomorrow, need to sleep, leave me alone and go fight people who aren't sleeping atm
I say split it up too. If I look at the list of upcoming battles theres only 1/7 battles I would be able to play. Thats a bit senseless...
OMG WTF I went to sleep at 11pm EST and then these west coast hippy fuckers came in and fucked my village!!
WAHHHH I was still at work at 5pm and these bad guys came and took my town!
Fallen Brigade Dusturil Tue, 03:00 7298All but one of those attacking clans are NA, and the one that is not is about 30-40% NA.
The Eastern Tsardom Hanun Tue, 04:00 9747
Knights Hospitaller Shapeshte Tue, 05:00 9747
Lots and Lots of Jolly Knights Ayn Assuadi [PECORES] Tue, 05:00 7298

Free villages.....
Stop this bullshit.
+1 for split
All but one of those attacking clans are NA, and the one that is not is about 30-40% NA.Is true. But EU players will have to be up all night, if they want to fight as defenders.... in order to scout equipment,tactics and battle outcomes etc when fighting for the AI
When we have village fights that late, a large amount of opposition usually shows up from other NA folks.
Granted, the LLJK VS Pecores is a brutal time slot, but the Blackrose VS the FCC is NA VS NA, and thus a very bad example.
it's not about sleep deprivation but you just have an ego problem (lol coming from me), you don't want to get people to fight for you when you could and then you whine it's unfair ...
honestly if you arent tough enough quit crying or get out
lol like these ppl have never played a game with city sieges before:
Shadowbane, Pirates of the Buring Sea, Eve Online, Dark Age of Camelot, Warhammer
this isnt a new problem. honestly if you arent tough enough quit crying or get out
pushing soldiers around a map is one of the key features of strategus, without it it's just pointless, you can still lead and play in your attacks, did someone ever see a king fighting in all his battles ? defensive and offensive ones ? i'd be impressed
for Digglez, i played DAoC for many years :lol: started in the open beta with War Legends (Mid-Broc) then El Ereb (Hib-Ys) french servers ftw :p though DAoC wasn't mixed EU/NA til mythic gave it up, now everyone is on american server but there isn't ping problems :p most epic pvp game ever ;)
@lizard just let others play ;)
i'm kinda defending not to split even if i wouldn't get any advantage from it, but it's just pointless imo
Guess you missed the point of my posts, none of those games besides Pirates of the Burning Sea had battle time windows and they did just fine. People would often ninja stuff in the middle of the night (PLAYERS FROM SAME CONTINENT) without resistance.
Splitting NA from EU does nothing if you dont have battle time windows. There are people in both regions that dont work 9-5 jobs that can still attack shit in the middle of the night just like now.
Your arguments are pretty uninformed and short sighted. Instead of whining your village got sacked at 4am in the morning, try putting together coherent thoughts for a solution besides...SPLIT SPLIT SPLIT.
I'm NA and I agree with a split...make two separate continents with an ocean in the middle, and make all the servers on 1 continent EU and the other NA. Then if people want to cross the water, they can but nobody will force them to.

Sure man. Would love to see that. Send out an army overnight, with none of your clan or allies singing up for it. And recruit only the randomers that singed up. lets see how your army is doing in the morning...
This would certainly make trade even more interesting for us :D

Let me reflect that back on you. Why would you be against a split ?
Your arguments are pretty uninformed and short sighted.
i expect a good read back from you :wink:
true, you're clever jambi, intelligent enough to say it's not cool not to be able to hire your clanmates which are EU for example if you attacked at NA time, man i don't understand why things are this way
/irony off
logic, don't try it if you failed at it
Because splitting them wont stop people (on your continent) from attacking you in the middle of the night, duh.
you're just a wet chick dancing on the bar at midnight after drinking a 33cl beer glass
Attacking an NA faction needs to be during an NA prime-time window. ( 17:00 - 23:00 UTC - 05:00 )
Attacking an EU faction needs to be during an EU prime-time window. ( 17:00 - 23:00 UTC + 01:00 )
OMG this isnt fair, I work 2nd/3rd shift, so I cant play in strategus.
Yeah. But at least both attackers and defenders will face the same problem.. that some people have lives, and refuse to play at crazy night times.
you're just a wet chick dancing on the bar at midnight after drinking a 33cl beer glass
So where this is going?
Actually it will be WORSE, because now the late nite attackers wont have a ping disadvantage. Current system works great, you either choose your attack time or ping
The opposing side has no say in the attack times. Defender should always have default advantage. Simple risk/reward mechanics.

I never said they did. Its in reference to splitting NA/EU without battle windows. Now people on your own continent (without ping disadvantage) will be attacking you in the middle of the night.
As it stands, the off-hours attackers are at a big ping disadvantage, since defenders get home advantage
Alternate Idea:
Ban NA from Strategus, as was Paul's suggestion.
This is true; that said with the current system NA factions are free to attack in the middle of the night as well if they so choose.

Ping doesnt matter if you attack in the middle of the night, because nobody will show up anyways to fight against you.
IE When BRD attacked Amere(Mercs) at 5 AM in the morning. We actually had a full roster. We accepted loads of players. Yet only 3 showed up. So dos it then still matter your playing with a 200+ ping ?
Question. Do you actually play Strategus yourself?
Actually there were about 20 people, though 3-5 left shortly after they found out that the village ahd no equipment, many clanmembers on that side didn't sign up/show up because they already knew that. Another battle 2 hours later had 40 people show up and we had a great battle and thena nother battle 2 hours after that one 30 people showed up and we had 2, (1 left after his first death).
I am fully in support of the 2 continents (just copy paste current map on other side of ocean, duplicating all the fiefs once is not big deal). Not just for the horrednous ping battles, or the not-sleeping for 3 days straight, but also the fact that there are now 3x as many people actively playing strategus compared to before and there simply isnt even close to enough room to fit them all (I have 200+ people just in my visible radius alone on the map). This forces consolidation into massive powerblocks, rather than having many viable smaller clans vying for land. Already you can probably classify 80% of the map under 5 powerblocks rule (old strategus it took months of invasions to get to that point, many smaller clans existed all over the map for a long time), now within a week the map has already become dominated by a few groups with almost no room for hundreds of players. Almost all the villages have 8 or more people in them, I see multiple cities in my area that already have 20+ people in them. All the villages ahve been taken except 1 in roughlya week of playing (old strat there were free villages for almost 3 months into the game) The game would be far more dynamic with more room and making 2 continents (NA and EU) would solve two problems with 1 solution.
Also, the NA playerbase is roughly 80& of the EU playerbase at this point. It is not small at all, so saying not enough players is an invalid excuse.
Easy solution besides banning all of NA:
Wipe Strategus again.
Make Calradia bigger, much bigger, increase the amount of settlements by 300%
When joining Strategus ask the player "Are you NA or EU?." Depending on what option the player clicks will determine which side of Calradia he randomly spawns on, this way the middle still has messed up time battles but people can still beat each other up as they please, and one side is just EU and one side is just NA...

we didn't even start taking castles and you wanna wipe ? lol.
btw, go create all the new scenes, enjoy, see ya in 1 year
cool, i'll take Reyvadin, Reyvadin2 and Reyvadin3, gonna be some fun time
What's the point of strategus ? everyone having his own little fief he took against the AI or conquering fiefs from other factions ? might have missed something there
and why would a bigger map solve timezones problem ? (that is just an ego matter imo)
your solution is to let everyone have their own territory atm ... you should offer that to Israel and Palestine they'd be happy but in a conquest game why da fuck would ya let everyone have territory ?
you know, after taking 3 towns it gets boring quite fast
are you applying for miss america in this thread ? :xYeah...I thought cRPG was a game about balance. Shouldn't Strategus be too?
i know you're trying to be cute but once again it's a conquest game, fuck carebears :x little clans aren't meant to be powerful without having allies or means ... logic
there won't be any war if everyone can has his territory, let the wise old man speak (lowl)
crowded means tensions means WARS, you see, i use keywords so you can understand ;)

you were wrongThat is an absolutely retarded stance on a game...
it's war ... since when is war balanced ?
Imagine the Arena Battle Map with a 200 man battle.
EDIT:That is an absolutely retarded stance on a game...
fair enough, ask devs
are you new to crpg ? :lol:
more than 1 year i'm on crpg, you rookie, i know what i'm talking about :)
are you new to crpg ? :lol:You sound delusional.

so when you disagreed with someone he's a tard, nice way of thinking :D insulting people is the last means of stupid people out of arguments
mmh and so the fact that 3-4 NA guys disagreed with me makes me a tard ? nice logic you got there, pop-fashion kid, aren't you ?
A war game can't be balanced, there will always be a side stronger than another. Game or not. Or you'd have to force people to join a side to balance things, just bs. If everything is unbalanced it's because of people's choice and not because of a hardcoded system. If there's more EU than NA it's a player-related fact. If there was more people in some clans than others it's a player-related fact. If some are better than others it's a player-related fact. If some clans wanted to make alliances and some didn't it's a player-related fact, etc.
If you needed a balanced game to enjoy it you wouldn't even enjoy anything.
Better stay quiet than making yourself a fool. Think about it next time.
and once again you're making yourself a fool with talking about attacks during the night whereas the solution that was offered doesn't solve the problems whereas this problem itself could be solved if people wanted to ally with factions from other continents.
also NA-EU do not have that big of a Player base to split them up
do ya think that when people attacked others during the night the other guys went like : fu i'm working tomorrow, need to sleep, leave me alone and go fight people who aren't sleeping atm
What I'd like to have: 2 continents and hardcore island(s) in the middle. The continents would have a fixed server location and a limited time window for battles. So on the European continent(rich of recources and beautiful people) battles would always been fought on the EU strategus server and could only take place between 17:00 GMT to 0:00 GMT. A similar thing for the NA continent (wasteland with hideous population) with forced NA server and a decent time window for them.
The hardcore island between both continents could retain the current way of handling battles with server location depending on defender and free battle times. That's where inter-conti clans and those with too much free time could have their fun.
Don't mind Lolwen and his blabbing lads, he's just a fail troll and he's probably very high all the time during his forum posting. :wink:

1) 2 big continents (the second one is entirely new with new maps, we have plenty of new village maps). The second continent has the amount of fiefs calculated by the difference in the Strategus playerbase of NA and EU (i.e. current Calradia has 100 fiefs and 17,000 players. 10,000 of these players are EU, 7000 of them are from NA. Then new Strategus will be with Calradia and 100 fiefs for EU servers only, new continent with 70 fiefs for NA servers only). And i would like to see 10-15 islands between continents with variable server (the one who defends it defines the server).
A line like this can only come from the keyboard of a semi-retarded good-for-nothing, Miss-Piggy-look-a-like piece of shit, who does nothing in his real life except growing even more fat & useless then he already is........someday in the future people might run out of pigs to slaughter, for serving them (their products) on their holiday tables, and when that happens I'm sure that swines like you will be on top of priority lists to fill the substantial gaps between the supply and demand. Until that happens you might wanna keep your idiotic comments to yourself, since most of us have (probably) at least once in our lives witnessed the slaughtering of a pig and I'm certain that it's last squeaks made more sense then your posts in this forum.
You understand that 6am is when most working adults are up, around and gone/going to work already right? Hence no participation. Unless you plan to be late for work.
Or you're a swing shifter, in which case you're getting up WAY earlier than you need to for work, causing you to swap schedules so that work is the last thing you do in the day and so you're more tired during your shift than is healthy.
Or you're a graveyard worker in which case you're probably JUST getting home from work. That's not bad. So how many people in cRPG work graveyard? Show of hands?

I may be blessed with that but i cant be the only one
Well good news, turns out chadz is going to address this problem, and go along with, ah, as some players roughly put it, my "fucking terrible idea" more or less. :lol: :lol: :lol:It wasnt your idea, you basicly summed up all good idea's people had... wrote it down in a nice color.
http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,11675.0.html
Still think you, and your idea's are retarted.
And from what ive seen, most of the patches chadz developed are retarted.
1+1=2
I expect the crpg community to have to wait another year.
Forgive me for not taking you too seriously when you are calling me retarted instead of retarded :lol:
Seems like you also find yourself very smart... being a typo chocolate chip cookie and all.
It wasnt your idea, you basicly summed up all good idea's people had... wrote it down in a nice color.Now I am confused with your edit... I thought they were all bad ideas since you called them retarded?
Typos I have no problem with, just the irony that of all the words to typo it was an insult that attacks the intelligence of the target.
EDIT:Now I am confused with your edit... I thought they were all bad ideas since you called them retarded?
Are there good retarded ideas?
You had the idea too simply sum up all the idea's other people had, and wrote them down in a pretty color. Wich is a retar(d)ed idea.
But the idea's other people were coming up with, were actually pretty good.
But hey man, w/e works. You got your ego boosted. An oppertunity to suck chadz is *&^#. And you get too feel good about yourself.
I know it might be confusing... can imaging might be a little to hard for you to comprehent
Good sir, I do believe you have not the faintest clue what is going through my head, what with the assumption that I was under an Ego Boost and feeling good about myself for blah blah blah blah blah :lol:
Wow man nice. you fell for it.
Did i not just exacly reflected on you... the kind off bullshit you give Mercs? And you basicly just said, how us Mercs think.
Think hard on this.
I never said that all mercs were massive egoists or anything else.
Start thinking harderOr alternatively give me the exact quote and stop putting words in my mouth. You are thinking of someone else. This should not be difficult, you need only see the last few pages of the BRD thread, or the MERC thread, or the BRD VS Merc arguement thread to find anything I have said about the Mercs...

Just sick of these morning battles.... today I was reading a book at 3:20, fell asleep, slept till now and skipped searider and merc battle.. I hope something will be done about this very soon. :|
Nobody force you to play.
Lol. I woke up today at 5:30 AM for the LLJK fight and I doubt I'll regret it.
additional to split Timezones, make prime times within only Locations like villages, castles, towns can be attackedI support this. It is completely retarded that 19.00 - 0.00 CET time slot is taken for the battle with 7 tickets overall.
