I played Strat 3 for the first two weeks and then came to the conclusion that it is totally flawed and boring and not worth the time. Still it's nice to read about it :)
My impression is they basically gave up on developing Strategus. Lost interest, maybe. I mean it took, what, 3 months between the time chadz said they were cutting crafting costs and finally doing it? And I think that was the last major strat update.
If this happened there is just no any sence for me to play warband.

"We" are still working on strategus v2 (=same functionality but improved UI + cleaned up code base). Progress slowed down because i got tired of it after working on it alone for months. We got a new dev member recently (MrIlluminati) that wants to work only on strategus, so we will see how that works out.
Sometimes I hate not being able to code and being crap with photoshop and the like :(
I've always found that it is easiest to learn when you have a goal to work towards when learning. However my own projects are always far too ambitious and therefore doomed to failure, whilst it would be unfair to try and tag along on someone elses project since I have nothing to offer in return for learning the ropes with them :(
I did them first in photoshop but that turned out to be the wrong tool for that job (outlines overlapping, not "jagged" enough). If someone wants to help with that and knows Inkscape (http://inkscape.org/) (or wants to learn it, quite easy) let me know.(click to show/hide)

Good stuff! Just want to let you know how much I appreciate hearing from you guys! I think I speak for everyone here. So seriously, thanks!
MrIllum knows his stuff, glad you picked him up.
Redo the vectors i did in photoshop with a proper vector tool.Adobe Illustrator? Or you can do it in ArcGIS (there you could easily make topology rules too to prevent overlapping etc)...then export into eps or any other vector format? Or what do you need specifically?

Strat was fun until it got EU'd to death. Wipe map and restart with two maps, one for EU and one for NA. Otherwise til then this is a complete waste of time.Would be good , this way even the smallest factions could own a fief, but it's always pleasure to kill noob americans. 8-)
