In one of the fiefs the goods' price increased by 2 without any change of fief prosperity. I assumed that this is related somehow, but this seems weird. Could anyone explain what is the real relation between prosperity and goods' price, or what the price depends on apart form prosperity?

Strategus General Discussion / Cash in fiefs
« on: October 18, 2011, 12:18:39 pm »
Apparently the amount of gold in fiefs is tripled now - appr. 150.000g in each. It seems that we are not supposed to take the villages yet, is that right  :?:

EDIT:

I didn't notice that, thx...

Strategus Issues / Praven - spawn bug report
« on: September 07, 2011, 01:00:04 am »
It was impossible to remove the last spawn of defenders. Technically attackers could do it, but it was impossible to drop the last flag. In the result the entire population population had to be killed. 

In addition:

Loot bug was fixed entirely, or to large extent (not sure about it), although the loot was really small - it was indeed appr 2,5% as Ginger mentioned about Dhirim.

This is not a whine post.

This post is aimed in presentation of our (Grey Order) opinions regarding the game mechanics of Strategus, and is primarily addressed to developers and other clan leaders, in hope that these comments will be taken into consideration in the inevitable patch to Strat. We also hope that this post will give an opportunity for other clans to share their experience in fiefs/castles/towns conquests and management. 

The Grey Order most recently have taken the Haringoth Castle. Below we set out the principal bugs encountered during the battle; I know that in other posts this bugs were mentioned already, this is just to sum up our experience:

(click to show/hide)

Apart from the in-game bugs, there is a principal problem:

Does it make any sense to conquer castles and subsequently towns?


We will disclose here some data that were difficult to obtain before:
 
Recruitment

Castles are not good for that. Even with few (3-5) persons recruiting the chance of recruitment of one troop per hour is 22% - 28%. That is not related to the population of the castle.
 
Gold (Work)

This seems to be related to the population of the castle. In a fully populated castle you may earn appr. 65-66 gold per hour with 3-5 guys working inside. Following the conquest of the castle the population drops to 100 and the wages drop to 2 (!!!) gold per hour with 3-5 guys working inside.

Population Growth

This is an important factor as apparently gold depends on that. If you conquer the castle the population drops to 100. The current growth rate is still hard to assess, but not higher than 20-30 per 24 hours. If this rate is constant (i.e. if the pop growth rate does not increase with the increase of the actual population),  it will take appr. 150 days to achieve full population in the castle. 4 – 5 months… And it is now impossible to convert population into troops and troops into population.

In addition to that fiefs and castles do not earn money on their own (i.e. for the fief/castle owners). There is an issue of the “Capital City”. This feature was bugged in the first Strat. As far as we know, even if you set the Capital City, your fiefs will not earn money on their own. Maybe (just maybe – to be verified) the Capital City have to be in the TOWN, but no one checked that yet.   

So if you are considering conquest of the castle, be aware that you will pay for that with the tickets lost and gold paid for equipment. Even if you are lucky, 4500 tickets and some 500k gold is at stake. Your gain, however, is really limited.

Towns are a big unknown at the moment, but obviously recruitment is shitty there as well, and gold production decent (about 85g per hour with appr. 30 guys working inside). However, if the conquered town behaves in the manner similar to the castle (low population after conquest, low population growth ratio, drop of money earned due to drop of population, low recruitment) – which in my own humble opinion will be the case – than it will require a very brave clan to risk at least 20.000 troops and who knows how much gold to risk the attack and gain close to nothing for quite a long time.  And even after the castle or town is strong again with full population, the return of investment is very long - term.

A word to developers:

We are all beta testers of this game. We check the in-game bugs and report them to you hoping that the next game version will be better and more fun. We pay for that with our RL time and frustration when something goes wrong.
 
Strategus is a strategic game. We fight for land and influence. To do that we need troops and money, (as well as some political skills, patience, in-game tactical skills and ability to look in future – but this is another story).  Any conquest we attempt is driven by all this factors, but, just as in RL, the gain (or lack of it) influences shapes of any ambitious plans to a greatest extent.

Being developers, you probably want to see epic battles for towns and cities. That gives you better understanding of  what needs to be changed in future patches. For that reason, please be advised that the current game mechanics provides a very little MOTIVATION to start a new battles for castles and towns. We are aware that this paradigm is aimed in providing better chances for smaller clans without land. The price, however is a lower number of Strat battles overall.  Lower number of battles for castles and towns in particular. And this gives you less chance to verify implemented game mechanics.

Just as in the first Strat there will be a moment of stagnation, where all land is distributed, political stabilization achieved and only minor fights between neighboring clans occur. Will we see another Pub Crawl then? Just to prolong the life of this Strat version?

Give us some motivation to fight. The targets make clans stronger and players involved. Players' ambitious plans make Strategus stronger.


A word to other clan leaders:

Share your experience and thoughts. It is a part of beta, isn’t it?

Now, a word to all of you:

Do not be surprised if you will not see epic conquests of castles or towns arranged by Grey Order in the nearest future. We do claim, however, the towns of Praven and Suno as well as Ryibelet Castle and Tevarin Castle as our own. If you dare to attack it – we WILL take it back, at any cost.

Pochodzimy z różnych klas, warstw społecznych i klanów, lecz to nic dla nas nie znaczy, gdyż wszyscy jesteśmy równi w wadach i ułomnościach. Nie ma wśród nas mistrza, nie ma króla. Nasz przywódca jest po prostu Pierwszym Wśród Równych.

Nie ujrzycie naszych barw ani herbów, nie zobaczycie wśród nas noszących wysokie tytuły i możne imiona, bowiem skromni jesteśmy i ubodzy, i nie szukamy glorii ni chwały.

Zaiste, nasi bracia i siostry godzinami rozważają kruchość życia, przeżywając ból śmierci po wielokroć każdego dnia

Nasze opactwa są rozsiane w kniejach wokół Praven. Jeśli zechcesz nas odwiedzić - zostaniesz miło przyjęty. Być może znajdziesz spokój ducha w naszym skromnym i pokornym życiu, a może nawet zechcesz zostać naszym bratem. Zanim jednak wybierzesz tak ubogie życie, wiedz, że będziesz musiał przyjąć naszą

General Discussion / Ranged weapons in bad weather
« on: February 24, 2011, 08:24:55 pm »
Guys, I heard the opinion that rain influences damage/accuracy of bows and xbows. I have never noticed that before, but I may not be the sharpest bolt in the quiver, if you know what I mean... 

So, I'd like to see what good archers and xbowman think about it.

Sir_Tankmen_5th_TWK [Order Of The Lance] vs Balanli [Grey Order]
542   vs   3511
Sat, 07:00 CET
EU_cRPG_3


Strategus battles are bugged. No equipment was available, stats ("c" ingame) showed lvl 0. Nobody even spawned.

Attackers initiated poll kicks, all defenders were kicked, and subsequently banned from server. 

Technically the defenders lost the battle. Grey Order lost 3511 tickets and all equipment - quite a lot of gold considering new prices; to be exact 568.406 gold - we do have a full specification of what was lost.

When we realized that there is a bug we wanted to settle that situation amicably. We invited Sir_Tankmen to our TS. He actually showed up and said that he is not able to stop that, because attacking guys have a lot of fun kicking us from server.

Now:

WINNING BATTLE BY POLL KICKS/BANS IS NOT FAIR AND IS AN EXTREME EXAMPLE OF ABUSING BUGS

We do not mind a lost battle, as long as we have a chance to fight. But not like that.  It happened before at Malayuyrg Castle, I have been there, seen that, and I never dreamed that it may happen again in our case. 

I appeal to the highest authority - your conscience, chadz. I understand that frozen Strategus is an overture to BIGGER changes. But please, do not let such things happen.  Please make Strat rollback, and stop new battles, because there will be more such treads.

In the past poll kickers/banners were punished. We would expect the same here, such behavior should not be tolerated in the community. If there is no rollback, we expect Order of the Lance to return the fief and reimburse our losses.


Below in spoiler some print screens of what happened:

Battle did end after all defenders got kicked. Yet the castle was taken by attackers.

This seems to be a bit abusive, don't you think?

cRPG Technical problems / Bug - Skill Points/WPF Distribution
« on: January 05, 2011, 01:22:42 pm »
I have distributed my points ingame. Looked pretty good - but I did not make a printscreen; there was 4 powerstrike, 7 weaponmaster, 3 in shields...

Now CRPG web page shows that my points are distributed differently than I did ingame. It is a very material difference, and actually makes my char a complete lol.

Moreover - now ingame I see even different stats than on web page - that is in spoiler below...

Dev team - there is something wrong with it...  and I want my points back, please. I am sure I did spend the points differently.

TO REDEEM THEIR SINS IN





A secular monastic order uniting all those misfits who believe that hard common work and contemplation may lead to resurrection.

We come from various ranks, social class and clans, but it matters nothing to us, as we are all equal in our faults and shortcomings. There is no lord among us, there is no sovereign. Our leader is just First Among Equals.

You will not see our coat of arms, you will not see us bearing fancy titles, as we are humble and indigent, and do not seek fame or glory. Indeed, our brothers and sisters spend hours contemplating fragility of life, re-living the pain of death many times a day.

BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE

we will strike with great vengeance and furious anger upon those who attempt to poison and destroy our brothers, whoever and wherever they are. 

Our priories are located in the forests around Praven and Suno. If you wish to visit us – you are welcome. You may find peace of mind in our humble and undignified life and become our brother. Before you choose poor monk's life you will have to accept our

Monastic Discipline:

1.   Honor
2.   Contemplation
3.   Reinforcing Character
4.   Obedience
5.   Fulfilling Duties
6.   Dedication

However, if you want to attack our cradle be aware that all our brothers and sisters, even the youngest with hot blood and eager hearts and the oldest who can barely swing their sword will bleed to defend our land. For that, beware of those bearing our colours!
