Title: Strategus Round 4 - what server will you play on?
Post by: chadz on August 21, 2012, 07:38:30 pm
We are, once again, trying to figure out how big the area should be for each region.

Feel free to use your multi accounts to vote, we need to get rid of them anyway :)

give us our own map D: even if it isnt super crowded people can just take more land and then back and forth a lot as they prolly wont be able to effectively hold the land they have.

If villages and such will be taken via votes at the start of the next strat, then why not for much better accuracy:

Just a thought.

Alternatively just split the map entirely for pure EU and NA strats. Give people the ability to merc for both, but their character is restricted to just one of them on the actual strat map.

chadz is forcing UIF to play on the side with the fewest votes.  Vote now to save ourselves, NA.  THINK OF THE CHILDREN.

I like ToD troll post (aka ideas).

Would be nice if instead of doing this on the forums, you had something tied to the c-rpg character page the next time someone visits the main c-rpg.net website.  Have a popup and prompt them to specify server preference. 

Also, the 24 hours idea seems like a good idea, as well as "pausing" strategus after the 24 hours to make sure everything is running as intended, and then let 'er rip.

I also like everyone on the same map.   We've seen some nice EU/NA alliances forged out of the map being split.

How about something like this with the NA zone moved south as punishment:

(click to show/hide)

Flipping the NA zone to the other side of the map would force all NA clans to make new claims and some EU clans as well.  This would be good for new clans thinking about playing Strategus for the first time and others who sat out the last version.  Less historical claims would give more people a fresh start.

I also made a split NA zone suggestion that didn't have a lot of fans but, eh, here it is:

No. Keep EU and NA on the same map. Add old option to select server for each location. For battles in field - defender chooses server. Fuck artificial barriers. Clear simple and efficient like in first Strategus.

Post by: CrazyCracka420 on August 21, 2012, 09:42:03 pm
I'd rather have designated EU/NA zones so you can choose to always fight on your best ping whether attacking or defending.  But the old system Harpag mentions has some positive sides to it as well...the main one I can think of, is that you'd then always have the 100% most accurate way of determining how many fiefs should be EU vs NA.

Post by: Turboflex on August 21, 2012, 09:52:36 pm
Seperate maps please!!

In theory it sounds neat to have EU and NA clans interacting, in reality it just produces low quality gameplay outcomes with off hour battles, and high pings.

I hated Rhodok lands in single player versions of Warband...so fucking painful to get around from City to City (not to mention the shitty Rhodok troop trees).  I would just take Nords for infantry/siege abilities, Vaegir archers, and vaegir/swadia/saranid horsemen. 

I would prefer if EU had to deal with the shitty Vaegir river system though.  Or else let us ford the rivers (make it very very slow going to simulate having to potentially camp out by the river waiting for ideal conditions for crossing).  Or make an Oregon Trail mini game for fording the rivers.

There's pro's and con's to splitting one map by a timezone, not having a timezone and having people specify their timezone (like earlier strat versions), and having two separate maps.  I can see positives and negatives with all 3 options.

No. If you don't play, your opinion isnt important on this matter.

Keep it shared, its far better that way. Too many fiefs make everyone have one. Not every clan should have a fief.

I'm not bitter, I just would rather not see every EU clan get defeated by UIF, flee to NA territory, then team up with Hospitallers and Templars again to wipe out every other NA clan.  Its a predictable series of events and really stupid.

The map will probably be divided again for NA and EU I think, but realistically if that happens I think we can expect NA to get overwhelmed by EU rejects soon enough.  I mean all those clans had like 6 months to rebuild in NA to strike back against UIF and all they did was attack NA clans anyways. 

There should be measures in place to discourage or avoid that from happening again, whether it be part of the game or even better the actions of the NA community in general.

**Just Say No to EU in NA.**

I think maintaining two completely separate maps would probably be too much strain and effort for strat servers and the dev team to handle with all the bugs and shit that always crop up.

Instead, I'd rather see the most american of things.  A border that is completely impassible.  We need to build a wall, electrify it, and any strat character that attempts to travel across instantly dies.

Sadly, from what I know there will be plenty of routes to cross between EU and NA territory for trade, clans with members in both server groups, so on and so forth.  But all I see is it being abused by cowards to flee from war and become unassimilated refugees who ruin the local economy and eventually turn on their gracious hosts much like in this strat.

Close the borders.  Respect our different cultures.  EU and NA, Never Together Ever Again.

Just use Knute's three kingdoms idea! It's bloody excellent!

Also EU has the most players but deserves strat the least. The big powerful clans just sit around stroking their... cats. I do hope the new situation forces them to attack each other.

I know I'll be giving it my all to cause them to start killing each, LET THE ESPIONAGE BEGIN!

If you put EU and NA together again, please make the NA strat server more balanced and have it in Texas. There is a 30-50 ping difference between EU players and West Coast NA players for our servers, but West Coasters get 200+ ping on EU servers.

My preference is separate servers still, with Eu in a map and NA in another.

I will play on the NA server.

I support a splitting of the maps.  It's a numbers issue, if EU and NA had similar populations I'd be fine with keeping it together, but as it is EU side has more land, which means they have better trade routes (although we'll see how that plays out next strat) which means they have more resources, which means NA side gets overpowered.

Not to mention no one enjoys high ping & early AM battles ever.

What you say is of course understandable, but if there will be any two separated maps, what's your preference: artificial wall or selectable server? Please note that separated maps practically means splitted community and forum. This is a drawback. Despite various problems, I definitely prefer a larger community rather than two smaller ones as you suggest.

I agree with you.  I don't mind the artificial wall.  Nobody is forcing you to fight on the other side of the wall (well other than what happens in the world map).  BUT (and nothing someone says before the but really counts :P) if there were two separate maps, it would still be like an artificial wall, but using a sea as the divider, and people would be able to cross the sea.  I even suggested a while back the possibility of pirates on the seas, and sea battles, which chadz apparently liked.  But I think that's down the road (if ever) so I don't see the two separate worlds as happening.

You are all equally stupid. STUPID!

The solution is simple and obvious.

I'll set a server up at my house for all strat battles and higher my services out to the highest bidder using pay pal.

Then you can all have 400+ ping and bow before me as my humble man servant patsy.

This poll is not very reliable (Total Members Voted: 484 - it's not too much). For example in my clan (more than 150 members), only a few people read this forum. I think Americans have a much higher turnout here (whole forum in their native language), therefore I believe that result 64.5% to 35.5% is detrimental for Europeans.

I think that relying on such data to build a new artificial wall is pointless. It is better to use a different mechanism, and you know what I suggest as the best solution  :wink:

For fuck's sake. Really? A poll is the best solution that you can come up with to determine ratio of EU and NA strat players?

Yeah... about 90% of my clan doesnt even come onto the forums, doubt many have voted. There has to be a better way to determine this

What?

http://forum.meleegaming.com/announcements/strategus-wipe-new-features-vote-for-your-continent!/

Two polls and the result is almost eerily similar even with the difference in vote counts.(half of that one). I'd say we have a VERY good idea of  how many people play strat and use the forums. Those are the people that matter. Not the hundreds of others who play cause they like the battles.

Checking how many people you have in each strategus faction could give the developer a very good idea of how many player you have in NA and EU, but its harder to take account of the international clan

Counting number of members from all  factions together is something completely different than counting all potential server users . Not to mention that this number is variable and repeatable result doesn't mean that it's correct. Even history of logins into servers doesn't reflect  true number of potential users without taking into account players who want to play, and there was no place for them in roster.

In first strat war for land on the map included war for number of slots with preferred ping. It was okay!

I think worth considering solution is more servers and server choice option in game menu. For example two servers for NA (East and West Coast) instead of one, second server for EU, and perhaps even AU for Frank  :wink:

Trust me the numbers of this poll are being very generous to NA players, and I'm sure the donkey team have other ways to measure regional participation besides a bunch of forum trolls voting one way or another.

Either way the little preview I've seen of the next strat map looks very promising and I don't think NA or EU players will be disappointed in the long run, a lot of complaints from this strat are in fact being addressed.  Good luck!

Go on...

That sounds cool. I just hope they either split the servers between NA and EU or allow the fief owners to determine whether they're EU or NA. I dislike this whole artificial line between NA and EU.

Split the servers, and then give people a character on both the US and the EU map. Effectively double your players if everyone wants to play on both.

Of course, most people will just want to play on their native server, but i personally would like to play on 2 servers with 2 chars in 2 different environments :).

I see no reason why i would not be able to have a char on the NA server, i feel comfortable enough fighting with NA ping in battles
