A reset will most likely come, but we don't have a date yet. First we need to finish the site integration/refactoring old code, then if there is time we can think about adding new features/improving existing mechanics. New stuff would most likely be tested on current data before doing the reset.
Hey guys, look at it!
In my humble opinion, right now all of us need to start step up action on the map, because soon devs can tell us that we have two or four weeks to spend over 9,000 shiny armies, and then all of us will be hideously unhappy. Nobody likes 100 battles per day, so put pressure on decision makers in your clans to join to more intense gameplay for at least 2-3 big battles per every day.
To the leaders:
What is our strategic situation on the map, everyone sees it. There will be no revolution as from mono to stereo, so it's good time to ensuring XP for our community of grinders.
EU garrison (inside fiefs only): 874,205
of which over 65% (570,140) is owned by 7 largest fraction:
1.Coalition - 109,986
2.Apostates - 88,936
3.Crusader Alliance - 87,588
(286,510)
4.Druzhina - 87,781
5.Grey Order 83,787
6.Shu Han 65,189
7.Wolves 46,873
(283,630)
What gives 160 battles 1800 vs 1800 each, over 5 battles per day for over month, while new tickets still growing and money bag of some bursting at the seams...
Do not allow to waste such a great resource!
This all a ploy to get Apostates out their castles, DONT DO IT!!! :twisted:
Maybe time to stop thinking about expansion or long-term plans, but to think more in terms of 'death or glory' and start planning some special blaze of glory to go out on.
With army movement speeds as they are over 2k troops, it really will be a crawl :D

Heh, your signature :wink:
Just use the Nordmen mob method. It's quite a sight, just ask the Templars. :wink:was ok if you ask me ;)
why i dont remember dat on map? (((click to show/hide)
Yeah, it was a terrible idea to launch the round without implementing that stagnation mechanic. We'd spent ages talking about it as well.
I blame Beta testers for failed strat 4 :P
Haboe, when it comes to engender inside us aggression against you, you assign yourself too much credit :wink: The truth is that you are quite sympathetic man, and all the hard work has done over last years by your old guard through disgusting and stupid swagger.Making it possible to account share would be really shitty, this is what startegus is about that clans must mange there clans activity and when no one is playing then that clan goes down the shitter, like the Mercs at the moment.
But it's now irrelevant. The problem is that you have almost 100 k army, but you're paralyzed and you even can't recapture a single shitty village.
Why is that? Despite fact that you are damn noobs, the main problem is with mechanics. On the one hand prevents us from conducting sensible economically attack, on the other hand a slight decrease in activity or interest among small parts of your players, prevents a complex logistical operation of counterattacking.
Main idea of involvement on the map largest possible number of players is beautiful in spirit, but it's utopia. Reality is very different. Level of complexity in strat combined with very limited free time of most of people, means that in practice, most decision on how to play, even in such a large faction like mine, taking only a few people, and in practice, only one. Let's face it. My clan is at present form due to power of Hetman's vital energy. Everyone else are eager to look like their faction grows on the map, but only sometimes they do something useful, cos in fact, they are interested only in participating in battles, that's why we do lobbing for sensible and limited account sharing.
I suppose that if such a mechanism was existed from the beginning of the round, most of resources would have been used up to date and I'm convinced that my clan would disintegrate into several smaller groups, while arise a large number of completely new clans, based on an active leader and a group of casual players.
Instead of unreflecting accusations of cheating, better think how to help improve the game, cos now situation is totally shity, and any movement on the map depends mainly on us, which is boring and tiring.
Again mod is almost dead :cry:
I think i've tried my best to provoke aggression these past weeks/ month. Maybe a bit too much, since we can now hardly leave our fiefs :oops:
Anyway, if the 8 uif'ish factions still want some action this round, they'll have to make it happen :mrgreen:
If there are more beta-testers needed, i think there are plenty of interested veterans that want to help + have the insight to do so.
Think vovka, butan, harpag, hetman, some wolves, me, and the all the NA my old friends who seem to have had a more balanced strat 4.
For example the extend to which you can see/ control allies. In the wolves a tool was created for it, most greys think it should be allowed to controle eachother to some extend, crazycracka came with a suggestion on clanmates controlling afk-fiefs. Would be a shame if you didn't involve a bunch of players like that in balancing strat 5 :mrgreen:
And ofc vovka wants to prove he can do a better job being beta-tester for round 5 :P:
Now it sounds like u tried to somehow create the current situation by provoking the clans that attacked you. Newsflash - u didnt provoke them, you provoked us and we invited them to the party. Like Harpag says, dont try to give urself cred for the situation ur in - mistakes dont create cred - cred is for concious decisions/actions not failure.
Strudog, let's make it simple. Problem is that probably you're lazy like most of players and you don't want to calculate weapons for armies and do all the boring things necessary for stategus, while you are very eager for battles, and this is not surprising. You have no problem to perform simple tasks, such as throwing tickets to the castle, but organization of trade with other clans is too much for you and too boring, but Haboe have any problem and can count crates and all those terribly boring stuff, so when you going with army, and then disappear for three days because I've been drinking again, he should have limited access to your account, because then you ruining efforts of many people. Final result is that you have more than 100 k, but you do not know how to use it. Do you understand?

Must be annoying for you that you had to switch to proxy's...
There is a reason there were no mercs banned for multiaccounting. We don't share passwords. Seeing those banwaves shows a that a lot of the clans which were hit by the it had heavy password sharing.i know atleast 3 guys with merc_ or who was with merc who use accsharing, had 2 and more acc and selling items for money... :P
The passwordsharing in the past, the easy way to use by proxy and the constant lobby for a form of legal multiaccounting is enough reason for me to believe it still happens.
I simply don't believe you could/ want to resist the temptation of an easy advantage.
Thats just my view on it, some may think you cleaned up your act after all this time but old habits die hard...

I'm talking about the present situation.
