Could you check all those prefered server settings to make a count?

The north east doesn't really have as much water, or was that intended?
Title: Re: New strategus map, EU/NA Split
Post by: Keshian on September 18, 2011, 11:11:33 pm
I agree with MAtey, this map is definitely in favor of EU community.  80% of coast land goes to EU, the only EU/NA clan of good size has their territory entirely in NA so we get more EU people to crowd the NA territory more.  And for trade purposes less distance for trading between NA and NA so less gold in long run than all the EU clans.

*****
At the very least if you don't want to give more coastal region, give su Dhirim and drop Tulga, so the only EU/NA faction over a 100 people size will not be entirely cramped into the small NA side of the map.

NA has not only now been restricted to a small percentage of the map, we also get the shittiest most spread out chunk of it too. Additionally, despite having the importance of coastal territories talked up for a while now, NA gets almost none of it.

Dont see much wrong with it

EDIT: The coastal towns in the NA part are all on one side. Makes it easier for one faction to cap em all. The north of NA land will probably be quite crowded because of the towns and the south kinda deserted.

OK. Heres the thing with this map. The lands on the NA side are very spread out except some of the middle areas. That means logistics will suck, and it will mean more traveling around. Also, the Coastal cities on the NA side are all super spread out. If you want to see what GOOD land is... look at Shariz, and Yalen. lots of fiefs close enough together for easy logistics.

Lastly... this map will cause very little displacement of 'ancient territorial claims' for the big EU clans, which reduces the chance of war... the only big factions that are being displaced here are... LLJK, Fallen/HRE (who could actually decide to stick with their old land instead of taking land on both sides of the borders.. and DRZ who will prolly just go take the entire desert and have way better land and more of it than ever before. The rest of the big EU clans will just keep doing whatever they did last time.

So EU should bitch more amirite ?

Anyway, EU is more crowded than NA IRL, we can deal with millions of people living on the same spot, NA can deal with big cars, big houses, big crops, big portions at the restaurant and big debts.

Furthermore, you have the West Nordic Coast and the Middle East  :D

Realism ftw.


Seriously now, what's the deal with concentrated villages ?

please say EXACTLY what the problem is. If you manage to make me see it too, I'll deal with it.

This is impossible to determine, because you claim there are new mechanics going into the game that makes it fair.

If this was the split in the last iteration, NA territories would be too spread out, making it hard to bring armies and gold together, while the EU territories just get to daisy-chain like a pre-industrial fire brigade.

Let me explain:

(click to show/hide)

NA would actually be two halves denoted by the big blue line, these are lines which isolate territories based on the old version of strategus where you could easily transfer troops from one side of your empire to another in a matter of seconds.

This is important for two reasons: It allows you to defend with a smaller force by being able to reinforce with your entire strength anywhere in the empire. Any clan would be unable to have territory crossing the dark blue line without severe penalties to defense.

Second, it allows you to bring reinforcements to any offensives you might have to territories you have recently conquered, trying to attack over an isolation line would be difficult, without caravans of troops and equipment flowing in.

Now this map isn't 100% accurate to the strategus map, so it is impossible to judge based upon just looking at this one. In the actual Strategus map the rift between Uxhal and Dhirim doesn't exist, but the isolation zones are still true in the north, as well as in the lower eastern corner of the map.

But if chadz has magically dealt with this problem with some unforseen game mechanics and there is similar benefits to having only 36% of the map, as EU clans would be able to heavily influence NA affairs via supplying troops, far moreso than NA would be able to meddle with EU. Then this post matters little.

Also, our dessert is still ours, it has merely changed flavors, the tundra is still a desert is it not?  :P

That is a perfect summary of the issues with hard to reinforce territories.  Also, yes, I do believe a tundra is a type of desert.  Afgoonistan should maybe become Pakigoonistan or United Goon Goon Republic (UGGR) or Iraqigoonieland, to match the change in land color??

Guess I'll add why the NA land sucks.  The South part is to spread out to be effective while at the same time has no access to water.  The North part is to close together, all 3 of our water towns share the same coast while EU water towns are spread out pretty equally around the map.

Post by: Braeden on September 19, 2011, 12:30:10 am
A few points regarding the map.

The map obviously isn't perfect, and no one is claiming it is.  What it represents is the best attempt to follow three major goals: 

1. Equitable distribution of port cities
2. Land distribution in adherence to community numbers on each continent
3. Following natural landmarks as best as was possible (this was broken in order to increase NA land, not kept to decrease it)

The problem is, it was not possible to change the strategus map at this time, and thus all of those rules needed to be met without modifying the map itself.  I would agree that it isn't ideal.  But it also isn't an eternal status either.  As you may have noticed, Strategus is updated with some regularity, and if the proportion of players significantly shift in favor of either continent you can be assured that the map will be updated with the next series of changes.  This does still remain a beta, after all.

It should also be said that if anyone was shafted, its the EU players in Thir.  They're going to have to make friends with their NA neighbors fast.

"In old times, the people of calradia didnt praise and thank the chadz god and kept on whining and whining - this is shit in calradia and this clan has much more land, gold, woman ( or boys ) and and and. So the chadz god looked down and got angrier and angrier and then, some day, a big fart flash went down from the clouds and splitted calradia into two pieces. All citizens had to vomit first because of the smell of fowly eggs all over the land, but then, they realized the power of chadz and felt down on their knees and praised the godess and promised to stop whining and start working."

So long story getting short, i guess when we heared about splitting NA / EU, the most guys here thougt ( me too ) there will be two continents, like america - europe.

- So would it be hard to create a completely new map for crpg?

If no, i could imagina 2 continents with lets say 3 passages, like some multiplayermaps from games like warcraft3, company of heroes...
And off course, its also possible to take a seaway, but ok lets discuss a few options, seaway is faster than landway ( like in reallife if the fartwind is on your side ) BUT its expensive. Or you have to buy ships ( different classes, prices, amount of transporting people.. ). Or seaway possible like in the past, but slower than on landway and and and


Guys, i think its important to bring in some ideas - whining isnt very helpfull ( only if your mum is near you, you will get some candy ).

That was one survey that was up for only 1 week, less than 10% of the community voted in it and it was right when college was starting in the fll in the U.S. so many NA off-line for that week, while strat was down.  Also, the number of fiefs is exactly 36.6% - its how chadz calculated it.

I see no GUAM ISLAND or BIRD territory.  What a garbage map.

So... when are we just going to give EU and NA separate strat servers with separate maps with the option to have NA or EU players merc on either server, but only allow players to join one server that they can actually collect troops, gold, and move around on? 

I believe this would solve a world of problems, though it would be more work for mysel... chadz.

If you dont like it, go lick an electrical outlet.

Dibs on the doghouse  :lol: .

P.S.  I do think the EUs don't realize how many NA clans there are (almot as many EU clans) that will be coming out of the woodwork now that there is guaranteed NA ping, might end up fighting 20-25 NA clans on NA ping just to get the same boring old lands you have claimed several times now (doesn't anyone realize how boring and unoriginal that is??)  Anyway, i know we are going after new turf (doghouse does sound pretty sweet once we pimp it out with some surround sound and a hi-def tv) as it just gets boring doing the same thing every map when there is so much room for trying new things.

Errrr you do realise that in europe we do the same, we go to uni and college around about the same time that really has nothing to do with how the voting turned out at all.

If anything what the vote brought to light was that either the americans dont know that there is a forum :/ or that they are just too lazy/cant be bothered to vote but as usual that wont stop them from complaining when something happens that they do not like!!

I got another idea, how about all real EU members play on EU side of the map and NA + Turkey + Russia play on the non EU side with this idea NON EU can get half of all fiefs?

Lets point out the obvious thing the biggest player base's from what i or anyone can interprate that are in this mod are Eu then Na then Russia in that order.
 Russian's can play on eu server's without lag/much lag however eu and the majority of russian players have problems with the lag when playing on american server's.
This split is necessary for two reasons (probs more than that but i can not think of any atm)  Ping being the major one and the abilty to attack people at times which delibratley do not suit the other people.

Actually if you took out the crazy number of Russians playing this game, there are actually more NA players than EU, but with Russians (~22-25% of total player base) players you guys have more. 7-8% probably asian and aussie, lets assume the poll is accurate (probably a little higher than that though) 37% NA, which would leave about 30-34% EU (non-russians)(even bigger difference if you treat Turkish clans differently too).

Part of the problem with the poll too is that China/Japan ever so slightly get better ping on the EU servers because the NA servers are midwest not west coast, but they are both in the 300+ range so it shouldn't have counted toward shifting the poll vote.

They admins and mods have already said quite a few times that "Creating Two Maps" would be way too difficult with their current strategus setup. You don't want strategus to disappear for the next 6 months again do you? Also, yeah, the map is not that great. And all the EU kids saying, "We have the largest collection of players, Mmmyesssss, tea?" can stick their tower right up their Wedding Dress. I think the split should have been a little more balanced, but what do I know? I just play the map how it is and I don't really bitch.

So, in summary, do this map, let us play, let it fail, and fix it another time.

What in the blue blazes are u talking about?

The map is based on ping's and the amount that voted !

People voted on what servers they get the best ping on for example i voted eu cause i get a ping of about 35 were as i get a ping of 107 on the american server that is my reasoning for voteing eu
and i bet it was the same for everyone else when it came for voiting.

Everyone in and around europe would have voted for the eu and everyone close to america would have voted na.

The eu server got if i remember correctly about 60 something percent and the na server got around 30 something percent.

I do not understand why you would try and argue/complain when it really is as simple as "what server do you get the lowest ping on?"

The eu server won and got a bigger part of the map end of it obviously serves more people then the na and thus should have a bigger percentile

Post by: Thovex on September 19, 2011, 11:13:15 pm
There's a thread where Loki showed off the claims everyone had, I counted it all up and NA had 22 or so, while EU had about 80.

I guess that proves enough.

And yeah, russians prefer to fight in an EU server, which the poll who decided over the land split was about:

Quote
Poll
I would rather...
play on the NA side, the NA_cRPG_3 server gives me better pings
376 (36.6%)
play on the EU side, the EU_cRPG_3 server gives me better pings
651 (63.4%)

The poll doesn't lie,

I can absolutely see no reason why NA at the moment should get the major part or more part of Calradia than they already got right now, otherwise prove me wrong.

Title: Re: New strategus map, EU/NA Split
Post by: Vovka on September 19, 2011, 11:51:04 pm
  In the strat 1-2 lands naturally fell into NA and EU territory. Enough opportunity to set up a server for each occupied village, with countdown to change it (1-2 week after retake), then the attacker will be forced to defend a week or two on not their own server. So all take what they want, and what they can hold.
 Also I do not see any benefit from this separation. If this is done for battles then in my opinion the most convenient: to force the prime time for battle 18:00 to 24:00 on weekdays for each time zone (time zone select a clan leader for the clan and can change a once a month) and Saturday from 9:00 to 24:00 Sunday.

Post by: Matey on September 19, 2011, 11:58:51 pm
if you make it possible to convert fiefs to your own time zone it would just encourage EU vs NA mentality as everyone would want to convert as much of the map to their time zone as possible... and since EU has more players and more land to start as well as more unity... sounds like a shitty deal for NA. if you look at what % of players voted for NA compared to how much land NA held in last strat... (and considering the only non-LLJK NA faction was in a massive war for its survival and continued prosperity...) it shows that NA was getting screwed in last version too. So, I say NO to being able to convert fiefs to other time zones... unless we do something like 40% of map is always NA 40% is always EU and 20% is convertable...  that would be ok. As for what we have now... hopefully NA stays in NA and EU stays in EU.
Title: Re: New strategus map, EU/NA Split
Post by: Thovex on September 20, 2011, 12:14:25 am
I say make it change-able with a wait-timer of a week or 2 weeks so the attacked clan can take their chance to reclaim it on their own server.

But otherwise, my 2 statements above are still not proven wrong.

A full split is in order and everyone knows it...I dont see why we need to have another iteration of strat with a great wall seperating us when its been stated that two maps, if needed, will be the endagame goal. Simply make two maps however long it takes. Then release strat to be enjoyed by all. If a full calradian map is too big for NA remove some fiefs so that its competitive.

Instead of making random outrageous comment sand acusing me of lying, go check out the servers this friday or saturday?  Numbers were downa  little bit with strategus gone adn the patch hitting, but overall we get 150-200 weekdays, 300+ weekends.  Also, there are now 8 official NA servers, so make sure to add those to favorites so you cans ee those players as well.  Also about 14 unofficial servers you need to keep track of also.  So add up those 22 servers during our primetime and then talk shit if you can.  Are all Risen, trolls  (VVar, Conan, Thovex etc. seem to only troll)??

lol wut?

It is not a outrageous comment the fact is that you are lying because you are obviously quite mad about the fact that na are only getting 36% of a map,  o and btw atms you have 15 servers up not the 22 you claim to have :( and only two yes thats right two have players in one has 28 players the other 78 so 100 players at 19:30 london time so thats -5,-6,-7 for eastern central and western 14:30,13:30,12:30 so its mid day to early afternoon and you have 100 players on ... and only 2 occupied servers... lololol

We have 19 servers and 6 are occupied now i know its early in the day so yes more people will come on and play but at the minute we have 310 players online and playing and its dinner time for us so that aint that bad.

So mid week we get easily 300-350+ players compared to your 150-200 weekday players, weekends you get 300+ (our week dayspretty much) and we get 400-500+ weekends so you can easily see why we the eu should get 60+% percent of the map and why you complaining about it is just plain retarded.

Now i understand that taking the figures at both peek times would yield better results but as i have seen the players and you and others who play on the servers have told me what you see i will take those as accurate instead, anyway You seem to pull figures out of thin air i think you should try actually doing some research kk

I am suprised you would post that after i expressly pointed out that the results were not taken at peek times and that i had, had to use your own results!! and when i looked there were more then 300 players an according to my other member there are now 436 players on a weekday!! nearly twice that of Na!! thats not taking into account china or aus (but i bet you are for na lololol)

Ha, if you remember the last version of Strategus, NA doesn't need that much encouragement to fight. We have the FCC. They pretty much keep things interesting on a full time basis.

Why not? DRZ for example attacked the FCC on NA ping, and all the fights involving LLJK did not have perfect servers either.

Ha, if you remember the last version of Strategus, NA doesn't need that much encouragement to fight. We have the FCC. They pretty much keep things interesting on a full time basis.

Oh yes.  With this I am quite familiar.

Admittedly they had a bunch of NA clans working with them.  ANy move by either side would need soemthing along those lines.

Also, just went downt he list of every single server (exclusing CHN, AUS) and NA is at 192 and EU is at 194 (RIGHT NOW) (3:31 Pacific Standard Time, way before our peak hours, and 10:31 GMT-0, which si dead on prime time at least it is for us in NA who usually come out in force around 9-11 pm at night).

My count was 177 EU and 172 NA, but you seem to have missed the rather salient fact that everyone outside of western Europe is going to sleep right around now. It's 23:47 in England, so you're literally counting only the night owls in the actual EU area. Only the last shreds of eastern Europe and Turkey are still hanging on, and the Russians are long gone. That's not exactly what I'd call "prime time".

No, the end of prime time would have been two hours ago. This is the beginning not of off-peak time, but off time.

Basically, you want an accurate comparison? Get back to me with a number when it's midnight in Alaska, so 1:00 PT. We'll see if it's still 192.

The first DRZ attack against us had the majority of their own players...then proggressively less of them and more NA players filled the roster each battle that followed. Many complaints about pings followed until only their archers bothered with NA ping.

I noted ATS, LL, Occitan, Chaos, and Hospitallers all fighting on their side during the war.  Thats what I meant by a bunch of NA clans fighting for them - a bunch of NA fighters from some of the largest NA clans all mercing for them in their battles.  Once the gold nerf happened all their top k/ds were DRZ because archery was so easy with no one being able to afford proper shields and armor.  I am an archer and I thought it was OP, luckily theya re planning on nerfing archery a lot exclusively for strategus, which would make a lot of sense.  It really is silly to have the class that can handle bad ping the best, also be the easiest class to win with in normal ping battles.

It doesn't matter how many people are on the servers. What matters to me is people willing to play strategus. And strategus also means forum.

Also, stop referring to the "winner" or "loser" in that poll. It wasn't about winning or losing, but to get an accurate picture of the ratio of eu vs na players. No one "won", because everyone will have a fair share of the map, according to their playerbase. It sounds as if people think that Europeans will have an easy time, while NA will be crowded. If the vote is correct, and I think it is, everyone will have the same ppp (players per pixel). If it seems to be off, we can maybe do another vote halfway through the game and flip a few fiefs over (if those are in NA hand already)

But in general, i agree with matey - allowing to switch a fiefs server after it's conquered will just promote the opposite of what we want. Therefore it will be better to not have that option.

I hope when EU developers realize that there are far more NA clans then they currently think, that this will happen and NA will get a few more fiefs.  Also, probably about that time to:

Though in terms of ACTUAL players playing, i'd say they servers are fairly equal. NA players are dumb, or don't care, about strat. I can tell you from experience that when strat first came out, everyone wanted to know what it was. But, what killed it for a lot of people were clans(specifically EU ones who like to stomp any problems out in their claims: EX: fallen). THe randoms on NA just don't want to play anymore after that.

Where are you egtting these inaccurate numbers (your coming home time is our middle of the workday, early morning of course its going to be low numbers then).  During our prime time last night we had 267, which is a little lower probably because so many NA guys showed up earlier to fight on EU3 for the test battle giving out loads of xp (I know 4 guys from BRD alone).  You take out the test abttle the numbers are not that far from parity.  The best way to measure is take averages of number of players on EU servers and NA servers for a 24 hour period, say Friday night to Saturday night (and take the averages every half hour or hour). 

But sadly chadz has already mentioned he won't be considering the fact that there is more than 36.7% NA players on the servers in his consideration for startegus, so it doesn't even matter at this point.

Lol Kesh...even now (11:30 pm UK on a work night, later in mainland EU) EU has more players than NA. NA has around 150 between the servers, and EU has around 200 between them. This is getting close to major down time on EU servers. In about an hour EU1 usually drops to 60-40 players (except weekends). Whereas in NA (East/West regardless) it's still quite early. But at the equivalent time in EU the servers are jam packed full. EU1 and EU4 were on/off passworded all day today. As well as the siege servers.

NA simply does not have anywhere near close the player base of EU. Whatever way you argue it.

Thats the problem with using the "equivalent" time, its not - you guys have 12 time zones including russia, whereas we have 4 active, maybe could argue 6.  So what you call your "equivalent" 3 pm time (where we are not busy right now because many of us work) is actually 7-10 pm somewhere in russia and so very active primetime for them.  Thats why I am saying you ahve to take an average of unique players over a 24 hour period, otherwise any result based on a smaller time frame will be heavily skewed by difference in number of timezones.

I'm pretty sure the entire of EU1, EU2, EU4, EU5 were not filled with Russians at 3pm today. I actually see more Russians and Eastern Euros at 6am UK time than I do in the afternoon. Oddly at 6am EU1 is quite full. I've stayed up all night for a few nights now and gone to bed at 6am.

But still...any which way you look at it we still have more players. Even more so if you include your 300 or so Russians who apparently play at 3pm my time.

The fact that EU1 + EU4 + EU2 combined at this time of night (middle of the night in most of EU) is still greater than NA servers combined, despite the fact it's prime time in East coast means something and getting on late afternoon on the West coast means something.

You guys don't realize the NA community has grown considerably faster than the EU in the last 12 months and we are much closer to parity of individual active users than you realize, but you can't shift your perception from 8 months ago (and neither can all the EU developers who have almost completely ignored NA for so long).  One forum poll where a tiny segment of the playerbase votes doesn't tell us anything accurate.


And JArlek - look at your silly map, its not like Alaska has more than a couple players.  For all practical purpose NA has 4 time zones - PST, MST, CST, and EST.

It's 1:45am (UK) when you posted this. 2:20 am by the time of my reply. I told you the servers suddenly drop numbers in EU when it hits 12:30am - 1am Uk times  :rolleyes: At 12am there were still 180 players on the servers. More than NA at this time even considering east coast was prime time.

But still...232 is nothing compared to full EU (community servers haven't been updated for us either  :P ) which numbers over 300 at even lesser peak times.

I realise it has. I know it has simply from observation. But fact is, due to my student like nature, I tend to play at some ridiculous hours for EU...aka...now - 6am. Thus I look through the server lists at prime time NA and they are still nowhere near as large as prime time EU. Regardless of your supposed 12 hours of EU timezones. Like I said...EU servers spend a lot of their time passworded with the automatic password that kicks in...and that's all day. Not just during prime time. Work hours mean little because EU numbers are so large. There are actually a lot of guys like me at uni/at home/whatever which means they play during the day. Work time is not an excuse for low numbers.

It's got nothing to do with shifting perceptions. I'm not denying the NA has increased significantly in crpg. Everyone knows this. But it's still simple fact that the EU playerbase is far larger.

And JArlek - look at your silly map, its not like Alaska has more than a couple players.  For all practical purpose NA has 4 time zones - PST, MST, CST, and EST.

Siberia, on the other hand, has a thriving cRPG community.

7 pm EST, 4 pm PST is nowhere near prime time for us (think 9-11 pm CST)

Also, thats why we need to keep track of unique users.  Having big numbers has nothing to do with being full all day, its about unique people that play at least part of the day.  Also a rolling average over 24 hours with unique is the ONLY possible way to get ana ccurate figure.  We have to stop doing this comparing at the same time with completely different time zones, it gets us nowhere - we have more sometimes and you have more sometimes, doesn't tell us anything.


And braeden - isn't the ghulag still in effect, I hear it got prettyf ull out there, not sure if they got computers though (and itsa  joke people no need to lambast over a silly joke)

You seem to be excluding the entire of CST/EST...which at the time of my first post...it was hitting prime time (well...for EST). PST is not the only time zone in the US. And I doubt 9-11 is prime time even for CST. You put large stock with people with jobs being away during the day. And if bedtimes in the UK for work are anything to go by, a lot of people hit the sack by 10:30 pm.

But anyway...I accept your second point...and I suppose you are right from that point of view.

Edit:

I apologise for any scatty arguing. I think a bottle of Cava may have something to do with that. I realise I didn't entirely counter your arguments very well. Also the fact it's taken me 4 tried just to make this sentence may mean something. In fact...I'm impressed I managed to edit this.

I know people will chew me out for this, but those are not solid numbers.  If you just take it from the website - it includes hundreds of inactive users going back from January at least and possibly last year August.  This favors EU because traditionally they had more players during the early time of the mod (all servers were EU), but like I have said repeatedly the NA community has grown faster in the last 8 months so they better replaced all those becoming inactive.

You would need to have some way of checking for accounts that have been active in the last 4 weeks (mostly because a lot of us stop playing once strategus went down (at least I noticed in my clan and in NA), I hardly play 1/10th as much as before - strategus is the main thing carrying this mod at this point, the normal battle/siege servers are boring).  I know you will lambast me, but you should never accept any statistics at face value, they are just numbers unless you understand what they are based on and what assumptions are inherent in them.

This would also explain the 9% asian community (used to be a far more active segment 10 months ago, even owned significant number of fiefs at one point in Strategus 1.0)

I think the fact that the poll numbers reflect the website numbers means something about the relative numbers of over all players on the forums/signed up. No matter which way you take it, the percentages will be similar.

According to the numbers chadz posted, EU should actually get a SMALLER percentage(roughly 10% decrease) and that 10% should go to China/asian pings or have no set server defined.

So, basically NA and EU are far closer in population terms than EU's been trying to say. (20% diff rather than than a 30% dif) For all of his moanings kesh was actually right about 1 point. NA and EU are closer pop wise than people really believe. Though at this point everyone's beating a dead horse cause the decision and map are done.

(Oh btw, about Kesh's rampant bitching, etc. It's an American thing to do. Don't like the outcome, Make yourself as publicly visible as possible and perhaps you might actually force a change. Politicians don't like outspoken people thus outspoken people often influence outcomes. Demagouging =) )

Wow, you must be one of those people that belives in ghosts because 36% of the population believes in them.  Don't you unerstand Statistics are not hard facts.  If you have ever worked with them in polls/surveys etc. extensively you would understand how easily manipulated the numbers are and they don't even need to be because they are often flawed from the start because of improper questions (no question for asian server to eliminate skewed calculation and discount the peopel who have 300 ping in both NA and EU), improper controls to measure against (did the server during the first week strategus was down so lot less active players, rather than start a survey during startegus with an active link to the vote on the actual strategus page), improper data collection techniques (forum poll), etc. etc.

You haven't run circles around anyone VVar - all you've done is climbed on other people's backs on what they did adn then called other people names, kind of sounds like you are an unintelligent 14 yr. old that probably has never taken a statistics course in his life and belives exactly whatever statistics advertisers feed him.

I think you will find that the numbers that chadz posted with regards to the origin of people by their website stats are pretty factual too.
Nor are the claims being made from these simple stats anything that does not make sense nor are the claims being made with them even IMO tenuous or weak, they are not being misused.

They are very simple statistics with very simple conclusions being drawn from them and chadz is not actually a politician or one for really giving a fuck what people think (in at least as much as I have been able to tell) so I doubt he is trying to skew the stats for some weird political reasons. There is not much you can do to bend stats this simple nor is there any reason to!

Wow, the whole point flew right over your head.  I never said chadz was manipulating data.  I was saying that the forum poll was inherently flawed to begin with as a fact-finding tool and therefore the results are flawed as well.  You are right in that 36.6% of the people who voted in the poll voted NA, but its nowhere near "cold, hard fact" as you like to put it that the community playing cRPG and involved in Strategus is 36.6% NA (the website stats date back for a long time and include probably more inactive people than active people as the population of this mod has changed and many accounts are inactive now).  I am asking you to not blindly accept improperly collected data at face value (just because it favors you and the rest of EU), because you ignore all the hidden assumptions in that data collection that make that data results highly inacccurate (think +/- 20% within 1 standard deviation). 

P.S. I am sure if the poll had shown 60% NA you would be arguing about how inaccurate the poll is too, only okay with it because it favors your side.  Thats the problem with an inaccurate form of data collection - you get massive deviations from accuracy so it could easily have been 20 or more percentage points higher for either side.

Right lets look at it this way atm's we have about 2/3rd more players according to the forums.
You keep claiming that the huge difference in numbers is due to not alot of people being active because they dont go on the forums alot and that strat is down and that atm there alot of people going back to school and uni/colleges so they dont have the time atm also the forums will be used by a equal amount of people (its human nature not a difference in continents )

Here is one fact that no one can argue with (anyone in there right mind anyway) these issue's that i have labeled^^ affect everyone in the world who plays game's and there is no difference between a guy in america playing crpg and a guy in europe playing crpg they will both still have to go to work go to college, they could both be jobless bums who sit in a basement at home for years on end or perhaps dont want/dont feel like playing when strat is not up using these excuses makes no sense what so ever as it affects everyone any way so it is truely pointless!!

Now it may be that During that week different parts of america lost there internet connection or crpg palyers got targeted and hit by angry cars and could not get to there pc's!! the more likely and logical scenario is that there is just more crpg players who come from in and around the eu then there are people around america thus why there were more votes for the eu server!

Now let face facts you got it wrong and over estimated how many people played crpg in america compared to Europe.

When America is compared to Europe we see some quite interesting results..

America has a total landmass of 9,826,675 km2
Europe has a total landmass of 10,180,000 km2
In total overall landmass america is only a faction smaller.

America has a population of 312,266,000 as of 2011
Europe had a population of 852,411,436 as of 2009 (sadly there isnt a more recent one that i can find)
We have 2.5x the population (more then that now of course^) then you do.

America has 50 states
Europe has 50 countries (Athough quite a few of these are principalities and dont have much more then a couple of km's of land and a town/city)
It is actually (for the most part) equal, so to point out that Europe has 50 countries dosent really make much sense...


So this proves my point^^ we just have more (people) potential players then you over about the same area thus why quite simply we have more votes and more players on our servers.

According to the numbers chadz posted, EU should actually get a SMALLER percentage(roughly 10% decrease) and that 10% should go to China/asian pings or have no set server defined.

So, basically NA and EU are far closer in population terms than EU's been trying to say. (20% diff rather than than a 30% dif) For all of his moanings kesh was actually right about 1 point. NA and EU are closer pop wise than people really believe. Though at this point everyone's beating a dead horse cause the decision and map are done.

This is what I find interesting, and it does warrant a closer look at how many active players (not forum posters) there are currently. I don't believe there are more NA players than EU, but I do believe it's much closer than what the poll suggests.
Title: Re: New strategus map, EU/NA Split
Post by: chadz on September 22, 2011, 10:52:06 pm
Ok, one last time, since apparently people still don't get what this is about.

It's not about fairness. Splitting 10% off EU and giving that to a nonexistant chinese server must have been, by far, the most, ehem, creative suggestion in the entire thread.

ALL that MATTERS is HOW MANY PEOPLE WANT TO PLAY ON THE EXISTING SERVERS. (i even bolded caps, which means I'm serious)

There is no chinese server. Those who are asian have the chance to vote for what server they want to play on, and that's either NA or EU. It's a choice, and it's not about wrong or right. Feel free to bring up an asian server, we might eventually bring strategus over there too. And you know what, THEN people can vote to play on an asian server.

Allowing people to vote for asia WITHOUT a server is really telling me people didn't grasp the concept at all.

I don't care if you are NA and rather play on EU because you're doing best with a ping of 120. You vote for EU, you get EU. You vote for NA, you get NA. Why you vote for something is totally irrelevant to me.

Seriously, this thing turned into a NA vs EU thing as if the vote shows who's better or something. As far as i'm concerned, this thread is filled with nationalistic spouting from every side that makes me want to puke.

Yes, if it were the other way around I'd do the fucking same thing and would have given EU the same map that NA has now. BECAUSE THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE. You will play with the same ratio of players per fief. This does NOT put NA at a disadvantage.

And arguing that the poll is not correct, and the website statistics that show the same thing is not correct: can be. so what. unless you provide a better formula to figure out the ratio, it doesn't really matter.

Now as you mention it. I think you are correct Kesh! These 20% got lost, we all can see it now clearly
EU gets 80% and NA 20%, thanks for bringing it up, we would have totally overseen it.

This bickering is sad.  Where people are from IRL doesn't mean a thing to their skill as a player or their worth as a person, which are the only things that truly matter.

No matter the distribution some areas are going to be low-ping and some high-ping to any player.  Take it as a measure of challenge.  If a clan based in North America manages to take and hold Tihr, they'll know that they accomplished a more difficult goal (unless they took it from other NA players, heh).  If a European outfit rolls into Reyvadin, the same.  If any players in North America (where I am) don't like that two-thirds of the map is higher-ping, they should consider being proud of that fact.  Overall, they'll be playing a more difficult game, an undeniable fact.

I don't understand viewing Strategus based on RL measures.  Apart from communication (understanding the other player well enough to work together), it should all be in-game.  Roll with people you like, or at least respect.  Form a group of lancers, or horse-archers.  Join a clan of Sarranids, or Rhodok.  Have fun, and don't sweat the details, that no one can fix any way.

Wow, all the Europeans who don't know basic geography are gathering on this thread, most United States citizens can name most of the European countries, but all you think of North America is Canada, Mexico and the United States.  Central America isn't a continent, only North America and South America and geographically the divding line between North Americ and South America is at Panama.  Also, many of the Caribbean islands are part of North America.  But if you are uneducated you think all of these countries are part of the region of Central America and that the North American continent is only Canada, United States, and Mexico.

That's totally fine. We just call them "The Bunch" which is short for "The Bunch of Countries We Don't Know About nor Care About and Who Probably Isn't Very Important". It's always fun to troll the southeasterners with it :D

NA is Alaska, Ontario, Quebec, Greenland, Eastern United States, Western United States, Central America, Alberta, Northwest Territory
EU is Iceland, Great Britain, Scandinavia, Ukraine, Northern Europe, Southern Europe, Western Europe

They are both worth 5 bonus armies per turn.

This just won the thread.

I don't think anyone can top that.

Anti-range comments from me? I complain about range as often as any other class, probably more so, so that might have a bit of truth in it... Not much though. mainly it was anti-longbow sentiment, now I am content.

Interesting. If that was sarcasm, then Gnjus is losing his famous touch, and failed right there for any sort of witty punchline. I am disappointed in you Gnjus.

I also don't really have an ego. Not much reason for me to have one.

One needs to have an IQ higher then his body temperature to be able to understand what my post meant but never mind, I'll try again, especially for you two dedicated archers with combined IQ of 75 (60 for ToD and 15 for Kesh):

1. ToD is a dedicated archer.
2. Kesh is a dedicated archer.
3. ToD wholeheartedly defends his holy grail (archery) & everything else he stands for, with all means available to him.
4. Kesh wholeheartedly defends his holy grail (archery) & everything else he stands for, with all means available to him.

So far so good, agree ?
Now we get to the part i was talking about:

5. ToD, i believe is, just a very egocentric troll who loves to be seen & read by everyone and that's why he enters into arguments no matter the subject (most often its against the anti-ranged speakers who so often object to how ranged classes work in this mod) and he feeds his ego with comments MADE BY OTHER PEOPLE (hope it's much more clear now even tho a person of Paris Hilton's IQ would get it from my initial post but the 2 of you failed). Deep down inside him he knows that most of those people's comments are true and make sense (i said most, not all) but he must continue to oppose them since their rage is what feeds his soul & ego.
6. Kesh, on the other side, is so dumb that he actually believes all the nonsense he writes in defense of his holy grail (archery) & everything else that he stands for and thus is easy to make look like a complete and utter idiot (which he obviously is).

That was about the only point of my post but unfortunately it was too much for a pair of dedicated archers to comprehend.

In the end i feel obliged to offer my apologies to you lads cause i honestly crossed the line of decency here, I am usually very well aware that insulting people with low IQ is not a decent thing to do and in real life I'd never do it but meh, I'm just a human being, subject to making mistakes. I ignored Kesh for some time now and i will continue doing so, he insults himself more then enough with his posts, that's one area at least where he doesn't need anyone's assistance.

There fixed it for you, your rambling schizophrenic monologue more than adequately sums yourself up, great Freudian slip on your part.  Also, if you are too stupid to know, Freud was a European psychologist, much like all your buddies are Europeans who suck your cock as being as big a troll as they are against NA players that are more skilled than you and your hiding every round just to shoot a sniper xbow.

Almost everytime I (or ToD or pretty much anyone else) debate with you Gnjus, you always lose because you lack the intelligence and subtlety for any clever or interesting discussion or debate.  Odds are that you are probably some bald, fat plumber scooping up shit for a living and trolling on a game you stopped even playing because your career is so pointless.

Touché ! Nice suicide there.

Btw, does your mother know that you communicate with bald, fat assholes over the internet ? There's always some danger in it cause persons with such a low IQ like yourself are more subject to getting manipulated by these perverts. You should be more careful.

Anyways, I'm done speaking to creatures like you. The devs will probably take your nonsense into serious account (as always) while they "improve the mod and take it one step further" so posting in any other sub-forums except spam & off-topic is a waste of time.

i am 21 may i ask how old you are?

I do not try to troll unless it is necessary, i merely have pointed out some correct information about the statements you have made and the way you have made them, for some reason you seem to have read what someone has replied to you and then you have either talked about a previous statement or take what has been said and have twisted it.

For example you just pointed out that you dont take risen seriously anymore ?? and that it is a eu clan for kids? which is a clear way of trying to belittle what i have said and other's from my clan or from the eu, also something else that is quite apprant whenever a person points out somthing u seem to quickly point out which part of the world they come from like it is a big thing?

Ah finally, a post just like old times, now that was worthy of a thousand +1s!

However, Archery is not my holy grail in cRPG, though I am not surprised that you did not figure that out. I ripped archery apart when they "broke" it to us firing nuclear warheads (48 hours of madness, the patchh that radically changed missile speed), and I have always been calling for nerfs to the longbow (finall happy) ever since it reached 26P. Not blindly going to defend archery when it needs to be properly balanced due to being able to kill people at range, when this is a game where the majority (though not all) kills should be done in melee (and are, by and far, according to the server statistics). I also spend most of my time not going against anti-archer nutjobs, but the other nutjobs that babble on about "nerf stuff because I am terrible against it even though 80% of the player base can handle it." More me railing against the general "nerf" community then "anti-range" community.

I do admit though that I enjoy some of the attention as I find it amusing most days, though mainly I do it out of curiosity on how people choose to respond, and out of boredom. I suppose if I visited more then just this forum (or do that "reddit" thingamajig) that I would post significantly less here. That is mainly why my post count here is so high, as it is literally just one of two places that I post for recreational purposes.

Anywho, good to see you here, though 15 IQ is extremely difficult to obtain on an IQ test. I tried getting a zero on an IQ test and I could not score lower then a 14 iirc. I think they give you free points for something...

I remember once seeing something of above average intelligence from a Risen member (I can't remember who though; might have been Kingtrisp) that actually brought me hope for the clan, but it was soon followed by the reputation crushing idiocy by other members that I've gotten used to from the tag.
