Strategus General Discussion / Re: Strat - 6 Week mark

« on: November 23, 2011, 11:28:06 pm »

It has been boring as fuck and basically horrible all around.

I'm not talking about slow speed of travel on the map, that is actually great. But the length of time it takes to build up forces is horribly slow now.

General Discussion / Re: Why Upkeep is a Little TOO Realistic, or: Why Math is Awesome.

« on: November 13, 2011, 06:35:17 am »

Yeah, I realize now that my math is off by some degree. At the very least the axiom regarding earnings is wrong, since x1 is only 50 gold per tick and the ticks are once a minute.

This is also incorrect. The first two ticks occur at 30 second intervals, after that it is then 1 minute.

Slightly lower upkeep?

Ideally, everyone could use anything that they own and all armor and weapons would be properly balanced. That way there would be a trade-off rather than one outfit being definitely better than another. Increasing the weight of plate, for example. Then if you chose to wear heavy armor you would have the disadvantage of significantly lower damage and mobility, to counter the significantly higher defense. Choice of gear would be determined by personal choice and playstyle rather than what you can afford. Really, upkeep is just a result of the devs being lazy (or incompetent, I guess). They don't want to deal with properly balancing gear, so they just make the good gear less affordable.

This is already true. You can get on the battle server everyday and see it. Tons of horrible players wear heavy armor(always gothic plate for whatever reason) and continue to be bad. Great players dominate with or without armor. Ser Butts owns with his horrible gambleson, dexxta owns with that corranzia armor.

It already is a big choice to wear heavy armor or not, it slows you down a disgusting amount. Try it out. Most people don't want to realize that they are simply not good because, well, they are not good. They would rather point at the gear of the people who killed them. "Man one day I'll have that weapon/armor and I'll dominate just like them!", then you get there and realize woah nope! Not that easy. That is why I play cav 

No really, whatever server you play on, pick whoever you think is the best armor/gear whore and get their exact gear. Use it, even for a brief time that you can. See if you end up 23-2 like they do.

Strategus General Discussion / Re: [Suggestions] Slowing Strat Down and keeping it fun for smaller clans

« on: November 10, 2011, 10:25:28 pm »

Someone suggested another good idea in the smithing thread about small vs large factions. chadz is looking for new ways to do the smithing skill instead of the shitty random grind it is now.

They suggested that smaller clans are better at crafting small amounts of heirloomed high quality items while larger clans can be better at creating mass quantities of lower level medium stuff. Smaller clans will always have difficulty raising armies and trying to conquer land vs larger ones but this way really helps them be just as important. Smaller clans would have a value that people are trying to get a hold of and use it for diplomatic bargaining.

Hmm quality work, you must be lost. This is the CRPG forums, it is a talentless void.

All this slot stuff for battles is lame, bring back 60v60.

Strategus Issues / Re: Horses and Crafting Message in Game

« on: October 30, 2011, 03:33:36 am »

I'm not sure it didn't apply to your horse because it was dead. I got the message a bunch and there are lots of items I can't craft, even though I know I was wearing them when I got the message. I think it is simply broken in regards to some items.

I got the message a few times on my gimmick gear load out which is leather cap, leather apron, rus cav boots, leather gloves and the shitty 1h meat cleaver. I can craft the leather cap, apron and boots but not the gloves or cleaver.

Strategus General Discussion / Re: Cavalry nullified in Strat 3.0 - gold nerf went too extreme

« on: October 30, 2011, 03:28:52 am »

If we could just CHOOSE what we want our crafting skill to focus on, that would be great. Random chance makes no sense. It's just frustrating.

Luckily they are considering making changes to the smithing system as it currently exists. I agree the current system is silly.

Phenom II P820 Triple-Core Processor 1.8GHz ; 4GB RAM ; Mobility Radeon HD 5650 1GB

Warband developers are retarded BF3 runs smoother than this game

M&B runs fine on a single core 3.0ghz processor from 6 years ago, the devs are not retarded. It just doesn't use multiple cores that well because they didn't really exist when it was released, plus you're on a laptop.

You can build a PC to run CRPG at real graphics for like $200 dollars. If you lived in the US I would mail you my 6 year old PC, no one should play this game on Nintendo 64 graphics levels.

Why do we need to give out XP at all? People flock to strat battles even without XP, no need to create complicated work for yourself.

Just make it exactly like the battle server except you always get 2x. People like fighting in strat battles even with shitty XP, because they are just more fun. There really isn't any need at all to make it based on anything complicated.

Who the fuck even buys multiple accounts of warband so they can make big money in strat? Is this some EU thing because I literally have not heard of a single NA player ever doing it, and I know a lot of SERIOUS strategus sperglords.

Do we even know what the current formula is for how many slots each side gets?

All this limiting of slots is horrible. The whole draw of strategus battles is massive organized battles. Limiting one side or the other to 30 slots is horrible.
