Strategus General Discussion / General strategus information - FAQ

« on: July 21, 2011, 09:46:07 pm »

There should be a FAQ or a general information guide compiled

Some of the things I have questions about include: 

*The spawn points and capturing them (I'm assuming you just hold the use key until the bar fills up, but we did this yesterday after the spawn was captured and people still couldn't spawn)

*What happens if you are attacked and you lose all your troops (do you just lose troops and your money goes to the other player, are you in a "time out" for a certain period of time, do you have to create a new char for strategus and start over)

*If there is battle scheduled for a village, can another faction come in and initiate a battle for it?

Trying to take over Uslum with 170 tickets?  seems kind of risky

As i mentioned in a diff thread, we had long spears for our troops, so yes we could have had a decent spawn defence force, the big issue is... how do you attack 61 players (even with 51 of them using bad gear) when you have 10-15 of your 44 players (since 15 or so kept crashing) defending your spawn point. the cav could have just massacred the 29-34 troops who were trying to attack the village. true we would have won eventually... but the cost of victory would have actually been higher than the cost of losing the spawn point.

Post in the thread I just created...

If you had more physical people in game to represent the almost 2:1 troop tickets, it would have been easier to defend.

Honestly, this sounds terrible.  There is no way to find the value of a player based only on damage and deaths.  This will force people to take up full 2h spammers just to get hired instead of playing how they want to.

Damage and death would be a lot better than Kill to death ratio's.  A hell of a lot better.

Strategus General Discussion / Re: Number of people fighting for you should be proportional to your tickets

« on: July 21, 2011, 09:33:37 pm »

I like the suggestion if you're at this ratio for tickets (say 3:1) then it's this ratio for in game numbers (5:4) or something like that.  What the exact numbers are I'll let other people argue about, but there needs to be some ratio so that it's not a straight even fight when one side is outnumbered over 2 to 1.

Strategus General Discussion / Number of people fighting for you should be proportional to your tickets

« on: July 21, 2011, 08:48:03 pm »

A lengthy title no doubt, but basically I'm suggesting that the amount of tickets you have versus the amount of tickets of who you attack should be proportional to how many people can sign up and fight for you (or the other side).

For example, if I have 1000 troops (tickets) and another person has 500 troops, then I should be able to have twice as many people on my side of the battle as they can.   So basically it would work like single player battles do and have a ratio depending on how much larger an army is that translates into how many people can fight for you in battle. 

Maybe not have it directly proportional (where twice the tickets gets you twice as many people in game), but when it's 1000 vs 500 it shouldn't be 75 vs 75 in game.  Maybe something like 90 to 60 (100 to 50 would be proportional).

You're going to need EU people to help, or unemployed NA people.  The match actually takes place at 10am CDT Friday

The server should be on flores island, Portugal. A nice island in the middle of the Atlantic. That way everyone loses.

or just bring back the NA server

chadz wanted to use the official NA crpg servers I guess.  chadz previous post also suggests there is a problem with the scheduler with multiple servers.


Man up and take some land and quit bitching

We are, and it's not bitching.  There is an NA strategus server that was used in the past that works just fine.  I've been a part of quite a few 80 to 100 man skirmishes on it when they do their sunday night scrimmage.  It sounded more like politics than game mechanics as to why there isn't currently an NA strategus server.

I voted No, I think you are just seeing a lot of battles right now as everyone is getting settled into their areas.  A lot of the NA clans seem to be hiring EU mercs to help out so it's not too bad. The NA strat servers will be hopefully linked and ready to go soon. They are up now, just not for official strategus battles.

Really? Is it really necessary for you to try and derail the topic of some petty bitterness you have against us?

It's on topic.  The point I was making is that there is already a strategus server up for NA, it's just not being used.  It's the same one that's been up forever.

I know it's only beta, but it does seem pretty ridiculous that EU has a server up for a week and NA's server gets dropped right as strategus comes out.

I thought the one spawn point was common knowledge?  Knowing what you know, you have to prevent them from taking your spawn point...

Still seems ridiculous that there's no official NA strategus server...there's been an NA strategus/duel server up for months.

Is  the plan still to take it away from ATS (a respected/trusted clan) and give it to a troll clan?
