Title: 2 strat questions (archers and xp)
Post by: Penitent on October 11, 2013, 08:49:55 pm
1. Are archers valuable in strat?  I was thinking of switching my "main" to an archer alt I have, but if I'll never be selected for a strat battle I"m not sure if its worth it.

2. How exactly to strat xp ticks work?  Is it based on how many people are in the battle, the equipment, kills, or a combination?

Thanks! :)

I think archers are extremely valuable in strat

Not positive on XP, but I think it's based on how much gear the people your team killed for the time between the ticks (not sure how long that is either, think it's like 5 minutes).  I've heard other people say it's based on both teams' deaths and gear that was lost on the dead people (so xp is the same between both teams).  I'm not sure either way what the case is.

Really don't know how xp works, i'm afraid.


Good archers are valuable in strat. BUT, there's way more melee slots than range slot, so if you can't make a name for yourself in archery, i'm afraid it'll be quite hard for you to get hired.

The good players with the best k/d (and thus favored in strat) are arbalest dedicated users. Quite often, there's an heavy armor for melees, and a light armor for archers or the wandering backstabbing melees. And most of the times, that armor is just not enough to ensure your survival, were you hit in the body by a MW arbalest.


Archers are great for taking out quickly construction sites and other things such as catapult, where a good rate of fire is more important. But i don't think there's more than 10 range in one full roster (50 people or so), out of thoses, you can find 3-4 dedicated xbows, and 5-7 archers.

If the defending team (in a castle) gets too much range, they'll have problems dealing with a good dedicated melee weapon surging out of the siege tower.

while this topic is open, I'll add another question:

How is "Reliability" and "Performance" calculated? (Profile on crpg page)

Reliability is simply your presence in the last 10 battles you signed up. As for performance:

Quote from: Harald on March 01, 2013, 05:25:13 am
You can't simply take your total K:D ratio. Performance is based on a score for each battle based on how well you did compared to the average.

1. Score = (YourKills-YourDeaths) - ((TotalKills-TotalDeaths) / NumberOfMercenariesPresent)
2. Min/Max -10/10
3. Final = (Score+10) / 2

So it seems performance is based on k:d system rather than "score" as shown on the scoreboard, correct?

Archers are valuable depending on the map, and the archer. Archers are good in castle defense, some village defense; and hilly battles. At least thats just from my experience.

Correct, score was added later and it is not stored anywhere so far.

As an archer in strat you should think at first and be at least decent in shooting ppl.

On defening side while siege 2 archers can easily kill about 100 players and wound tons of them.

It's really nice if an archer can make 2:1 K:D ratio, if you can do that, i thing there shouldn't be a problem in getting in a roster.

i just switched my main to my lvl 31 archer alt (mainly to get to 32 alot faster). i've only done a couple of battles so far, but i've found myself mostly shooting construction sites, witch can get boring after the first 45 mins, but if your a good archer you'll die less overall, spend more time alive witch is more fun. and if your a team player/ follow orders when there given, then u can be valuable for strat defence

I'm shooting at him every single time i can :)

Belive me, it's really hard and he is always finding a good spot from where he can shoot with minimal chance for getting shot.

IMO he is best crossbow user at the moment
