Why do I have to play with one of my shitty alts (i'm not making my main my hero if I can't respec him)
I'm not gonna join 30 mins before. I hardly know when i'm gonna feel like playing at all let alone 30 mins before I do.
It can actually be quite fun on the teamspeaks Grumbs, come along some time (I'll come with you if you're scared of the big boys :D ), tactics occasionally accidentally happen and there's an all around gwuaffauh
It's all a good laugh
Fair enough. I wouldn't want to spoil what people like about it just because i'm too lazy to join before it starts.
I totally understand your point of view Grumbs. Its not being lazy or stupid like some people imply, it would just open up strategus battles to those who arent interested in it.There are a lot of problems that could come from that tho. Like troll and people you have on a blacklist, if make a point of making it so these people are banned from taking part in your battle it would be quite bad if they could just join it anyway. People wasting construction sites and material for example(more of a problem early game, and I know we can set ranks now but still). Also what about fief transfers can't really do those if there suddenly are 100 people showing up from no where. Last the simple fact that it is much easier to coordinate if you are all in the same ts. These are just some of the problems that would come out of such a system.
Strategus battles are fueled mostly by people who dont have sides in strategus and some probably think its a game for autist and only come for the good battles/population/XP.
It would be truly glorious if people could join EU_3/NA_3 like a normal server when a strategus battle has started, and just get auto-balanced into a team. There could still be 60/60 roster limit for strategus players, and the server could be capped at 150 or 200 so there could be 30 to 80 slots for random players. That would also deal with the "lacking players" problems of under-staffed factions.
Those random players can work really well into a team with no need for teamspeak. Commander chat and just playing with the other teammates = 90% of the coordination needed. I know because thats what I do :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Of course I want more people to take part in the battles but the commanders should also have a lot of control.
