I expect if the battle is at a good time for EU and NA on the weekend we can muster at least 20 players to fight. People still want to play crpg the servers are just constantly dead. Come to new durquba and well set one up for next weekend. Sunday afternoon for NA and Sunday night for EU sound good?

You can attack Durquba and we will fight it out on the dunes in front of the castle. That way when the battle ends we have defenders win and you don't get ported to EU. I will give you your gear back and more troops and we can repeat weekly for the next few weekends if we'd like. Sounds like a fun idea to me.

I have already started letting people know and Ill keep informing people over the next week. Shouldn't be too hard to get some people as I imagine lots of people are itching for a little crpg again after servers being empty a few weeks

Will also put up a thread about it in the next few days. What size battle were you thinking? Probably 500 v 500 is enough for the rosters we will get.

was under the assumption that strat battles were still frozen. make a post about another crpg scheduled playday, the last one brought in 40+ people for na. didnt last long, but strat was dead then.
still not fond of current crpg, but everyone needs a good murdertron crossbow line battle and 500 vs 500 is perfect for that

and if i know james...hes deff got xbows.

I do indeed but I would personally prefer an actual fight over just crossbow shooting.

Title: Re: are strat battles working?

OK will keep trying to set up a weekend we will get one that works eventually
Title: Re: are strat battles working?
Post by: Asheram on May 28, 2017, 03:23:42 am
So what happened with crpg servers? the only one to show on list is strategus but you used to be able to see battle, seige etc if you turned off filters.
Title: Re: are strat battles working?
Post by: njames89 on May 29, 2017, 01:30:45 am
yeah it looks like those servers are completely gone now. Only one I was able to see was China battle when I played the other day.
Title: Re: are strat battles working?
Post by: Lord_Carlos on June 18, 2017, 10:39:10 am
Maybe chinese will make strat?

Torben are you still somewhere around New Durquba? Strat battles are working again and NA servers should be up today. Lets try to get that epic XP battle for next weekend. Can you make it back to New Durquba to initiate the battle for 3pm EST (I think around 9pm your time) on Saturday Nov 11th? That would give us a mid day battle for NA and a night time battle that is not too late for EU. That would be the optimal time for West NA/East NA/EU I think.

Shouldn't all the troops burn out because of maintenance cost in half a year? Unless Torben had millions silver on his char.
Title: Re: are strat battles working?
Post by: njames89 on November 02, 2017, 01:28:29 pm
Yeah lots of people had 20-30 million some even hundreds of millions of silver. I have 8 or 9 thousand troops in New Durquba myself and 30 million silver or so still. Definitely enough for some good battles. I believe Torben still has a large army as well unless he lost it since he left New Durquba a few months ago.
Title: Re: are strat battles working?
Post by: Torben on November 02, 2017, 05:06:07 pm
Yo have 2k troops on me and am near meeting point. Ill attack u tomorrow then to have the battle on saturday. Personally i wont be able to attend but im glad to see it happen
Title: Re: are strat battles working?
Post by: njames89 on November 02, 2017, 05:07:12 pm
Do it next weekend as I can't attend this weekend either and will need some time to spread word about the battle
Title: Re: are strat battles working?
Post by: Torben on November 02, 2017, 05:08:00 pm
Ps: maybe have someone meet me outside so i can drop some equippment on him, have too much and it might itembomb the shit out of players otherwise

Ok sure. Next weekend
Title: Re: are strat battles working?
Post by: njames89 on November 02, 2017, 05:10:41 pm
Put any extra gear you don't want into Durquba as soon as you can and I'll take it out and put it on one of our guys sitting in Durquba. Then I will gear Durquba for the battle before you initiate it.

After the fight we can repeat every weekend that its convenient for a few more battles as I have lots of troops and we can use the population of Durquba as well.

Post by: njames89 on November 02, 2017, 06:14:07 pm
Torben here is a screenshot of my gear. All over the place and quantities are a bit wonky but nice stuff and should do the trick. Is your stuff comparable?

If you don't have any mules/european lances I can send some over as they should make for hilarious additions to both armies.
Title: Re: are strat battles working?
Post by: Torben on November 02, 2017, 06:54:55 pm
I have a range of mw items in all tiers, and in the numbers of 500 to 1000 each, ten thousands of different +3 horses, throwing, shooting, stabbing slaying, whatever u need, i got it ^^

Post by: Torben on November 02, 2017, 06:55:34 pm
Wtf do i see a camel there!?!  Haha
Title: Re: are strat battles working?
Post by: njames89 on November 02, 2017, 07:29:06 pm
Haha yes i threw in some shitty camels for the memes. OK just wanted to know if you had 0 difficulty mules and euro lances. Might make for a funny fight to have them on both sides. Entire armies mounted with throwing lances  :lol:
Title: Re: are strat battles working?
Post by: Torben on November 02, 2017, 07:30:01 pm
Have mules bit only heavy lances
Title: Re: are strat battles working?
Post by: njames89 on November 02, 2017, 07:31:43 pm
alright before the fight is initiated ill send you 325 european lances so that we can have a ridiculous game of throw the lance x100 at the start  8-)

James you need more +3 rounceys
Title: Re: are strat battles working?
Post by: Torben on November 03, 2017, 08:24:19 pm
james,  I am in your vicinity now and would suggest that I transfer to either you or new durqba all of my inventory minus the troops.  then you could proceed to master the armies as you see fit.  what do you say?
Title: Re: are strat battles working?
Post by: njames89 on November 03, 2017, 08:31:21 pm
If you must. I'd rather just let our two armies fight as it involves less work on my part. But if you want you can transfer all the gear to durquba and I'll sort it out next week before the battle.

Title: Re: are strat battles working?
Post by: Torben on November 09, 2017, 04:34:16 pm
yo so ill attack in 23 hours,  that would set the battle to saturday.  cool?
Title: Re: are strat battles working?
Post by: njames89 on November 09, 2017, 04:35:15 pm
No do the attack on saturday so the battle is on sunday. Have already started telling people that the battle will be sunday 12 noon for pacific NA and 3pm for atlantic NA. Should initiate the battle at 9pm german time on saturday.
Title: Re: are strat battles working?
Post by: Torben on November 09, 2017, 04:59:42 pm

Title: Re: are strat battles working?
Post by: Torben on November 09, 2017, 05:09:29 pm
btw it has been a long time -  anything i can do wrong?
Title: Re: are strat battles working?
Post by: njames89 on November 09, 2017, 05:26:56 pm
Make sure you have less than 140 item types. Other than that just attack at the right time and remember to sign people up for your side. On the day of the battle we can get everyone in my TS @ ts3.thecrusadersofacre.com and make sure both sides have equal numbers.

I think best way to do the battle is have each side setup forward spawns and then once everyone is set to them have the fighting begin out in front of the castle.

For now enter Durquba (make sure you don't attack yet) and let me know when you have allowed incoming transfers and ill send over some european lances. We can have a big old game of catch with them to start things off  :lol:
Title: Re: are strat battles working?
Post by: Torben on November 09, 2017, 06:14:46 pm
OK
I have allowed inc. transfers and will have entered the city within half an hour.

considering the battle,  I personally cant attend cause I dont have a gaming PC anymore.  If you have a trusted man that can take care of my mercs tell him to apply.
Title: Re: are strat battles working?
Post by: njames89 on November 09, 2017, 06:55:08 pm
Uh maybe I will have to do that myself. Not sure who can do the roster. Would have to be someone that is nearby. I'll ask around.

btw i lost a few soldiers and am just under 2k now cause i was in some crime infested village.  hope thats still ok,  or do you want to send me 100 soldiers to have a longer battle time?
Title: Re: are strat battles working?

No do the attack much later than that. That is way too early for NA. Wait a minimum of 6.5 hours before initiating the battle
