Title: Strategus – Second hand information.
Post by: Harpag on March 13, 2011, 12:55:16 pm
Mr.chadz & Co. maintain a consistent policy of "zero information"

Strategus was and is frozen for a very long time. I don’t  know how the others, but for me and my friends cRPG without Strategus, is like a train without tracks ...

If you have any information or reasonable assumptions, please share that with the others on this thread!


PS. If you don't work, just tell. Better to say the worst truth than to remain silent. The truth will save us  :) Dear chadz, When?  :)

I lost hope of a Strategus release anytime soon, at first I thought it would take 1 month max after the cRPG patch, there was the test battle for the new siege equipment and it was looking like the update was close but now it looks more like the developement has stopped and I wonder if Strategus is ever going to come back :(

I wish they would just start it again and work on the patch while it runs, everyone is growing quite bored without it and some clans are actually loosing members due to people not playing any more. :\

Damn ... sounds like a terrible joke. If it’s true, then our community will suffer like hell.
You're right. Events doesn’t help in the long run. Strategus, such as it is now , plus  slight modification (x1 for losers and  x5 for winners without earning and upkeep costs) certainly would help greatly. Details must be discussed.
I would be willing to forget about the trade and geography at the whole time needed to appropriate changes. The others will be ready to forget it to.

PS. People, perhaps small changes are easy and fast to do?
Maybe you need money for professional help at work? Say how much and we will raise money. We can do it and we want to help.

What do you need to have a Strategus server?  Also, why not just run the old one until the new patch etc. comes out?
Title: Re: Strategus – Second hand information.
Post by: MountedRhader on March 14, 2011, 01:05:50 am
I think it costs money for one.. Or perhaps chadz doesn't want to pay to keep 2 servers running? I'm not very informed about how these sorts of things work so give me a break.  :?

If this were real second hand information, it would go something like this:


So, this guy named Chazz made a mode called "Stretaegus" and it was put into a freezer and has been frozen for a very long time.

I would think if you have the mod itself and the necessary database, it would be possible to make more than one strategus server.  However, I don't know the details of the mod and how it exactly works.  I just don't understand why would you take down the whole thing for a patch/update?

Strategus use the same servers as cRPG (Eu3 duel server becomes Eu3 Strategus server when a battle is up)

But Strategus is bugged (don't know why) with the last patch, it can't work as it's now, that's why it's down. Also, the last session of Strat was almost blocked, nobody move except lesser clans (which were crushed by bigger clans).

Many things will be implemented in new Strat (trade, craft, caravans...) This need a lot of work i guess. And we have very short info, just tease...

But it's true that many old players wait the release to play again. New players don't even know what we talk about.

No, that's not the reason.


But I hope it's up soon because I'm no FPS player and Strategus is what made cRPG insteresting for me.
Title: Re: Strategus – Second hand information.

King of Trolls :D

Thank you for another comprehensive and precise info on progress of work! Like with every donkey, maybe a stick-and-carrot method would work? We just need to find a good, heavy (deadly) stick, and tasty carrot... :D

Now, seriously. chadz, please, do us and yourself a favor and share some info, folks are loosing hope here... and that is never a a good thing. I do not believe you abandoned the project, otherwise the cRPG servers would be down, plus I trust that THAT kind of news you would share. I also understand that you do not want to issue the patch that is not completed. But - it is a Beta, so let us beta-test it. The plans for changes were huge so it is a lot of work, but I am sure that many people would be happy to help, this way or another. Including my humble person.

Post by: Butan on March 14, 2011, 01:57:27 pm
Never experienced strategus but I will certainly enjoy a RISK-like game online with a bit of cRPG battle.

But I feel like chadz is clearly too mentally disturbed or simply not caring enough about the community anymore to pay the respect of communicating information about what is (to a good number of old players) the major reason they use cRPG instead of many other mods.
I guess the man is just joking and trying to be funny while playing with our patience; but the joke gets old... very old.



The donkey behind the last 200hours of my playing on MB:W deserves respect for what he has done, but I too thinks that he needs a good kick in the donkey's ass and start talking.

After he realized how long this would take maybe he should have adjusted the old strategus so it would at least be functional to fool around with until the patch hits.  Maybe no xp/gold for battles or something like that.  It has been over 2 months now, this shit is getting crazy.

Can't the Fallens lend one of their many, many laggy servers for clans to schedule battles?
Just like, battles for fun? Maybe a server with a daily theme battle, and clans can signup?
I could set it up, don't know where I'd find the money for a good server though.  :|
Title: Re: Strategus – Second hand information.
Post by: Blondin on April 07, 2011, 09:42:00 am
You don't need money, you just need to take the time to organize something.

Why don't you organize a theme battle, i'm sure they'll give you the server to do it (fallens or shogunate).

"I like this idea a lot. IMO it is not too far off since it would solve a few things in a nice way (routes, blocking, etc.). Right now our plan is just to bring back strategus like it was before, but within the new website and an improved code base (that is what i'm working on). There were some ideas for e.g. varying movement speed, but nothing specific planned afaik."
