Title: Strat Tick Usage Speed
Post by: Garem on March 05, 2014, 08:09:43 am

At 18:00 I had 30 ticks. About eight hours later, I have 12.

Unless something changed without my knowledge, that's not right. I seem to be getting troops at the right speed nonetheless - 1 per hour.

Anyone else experiencing this?

If you are recruiting inside a village/city/castle with high crime rate, you lose troops due to high crime rate.

Try going inside a fief with no crime rate, or otherwise just stand outside of the fief and recruit.

That's not at all what I'm talking about at all, no idea how you got there. Not talking troop counts - tick counts.

yeah my bad, I though you were referring to troop loss, not ticket loss

Currently have 41... will repost in 24h.

2 ticks / 1 hour = 1 troop

It used to be 1 tick per hour. Was this a deliberate change? More importantly, why?

This makes Strategus much harder for casual players - especially since you don't get ticks by actually playing Strategus. If you're fighting in all a few battles per day, and with a smaller group playing the game that's becoming increasingly important, then playing cRPG to keep 48 ticks a day AND the Strat battles... dammit, that's a lot of time.

Trying to harass casual players - you know, the ones who are already busy with important things in life - into keeping efficient troop production should never be necessary. At 48 ticks a day, it definitely is.

Assuming each round lasts 5 minutes, and you have a constant x2 or x3, that's three hours of play a DAY. 48x5 minutes = 240 minutes. What the hell?

I second Garem... the heck...  :shock:

I think crime is enough to prevent people from stacking too much troops.

I'm not going to grind 3h a day of C-RPG + eventual Strat battle that will last 1h or more....  :?
