2 things are becoming more and more problematic in strat 4 end-game:
- 1/3 rule to attack applies to FIEFS
Why? :
fiefs with lots of troops are virtually impossible to attack without wasting a fuckton of troops, you dont want that, you do not attack, you stack troops too and add other fiefs to invincible fiefs and everyone sits on their asses. Not attacking in strategus is #1 problem because there is no troops limit and upkeeping in fiefs is not very prohibive until you reach tens of thousands of troops.
What to do:
change the formula for attacking FIEFS so that you can attack whatever you want with a minimum of troops (that minimum could be anything, but reasonably, between 1K and 2K troops and you should be able to siege actual Veluca (10K+ troops) or even actual Narra (around 30K troops)) OR change the upkeep in fiefs so its half as exponential as upkeeping on the field and not just an incremental formula.
- when you have 10000 crates of goods or more, on the map it shows 0 CRATES (invisible caravan)
Why? :
if you dont see the crates, why would you attack them? people have enough gold to buy tens of thousands of goods now, so raiding is made too easy
What to do:
fix the bug, crates should be visible equal and above to 10K crates.
If someone can drop this perl of wisdom to chadz, he's welcome, cant be arsed to wait on IRC chat to have a private discussion.
Or wipe strat, your choice :P
