I'm not finding the announcement dealing with the equipment wipe...can someone link me or point me in the right direction?
How did you find out you can't make gold from playing c-rpg any more, just something you've witnessed? I personally don't mind the gold income what it is in the towns. Everyone is on the same playing field...either we're all making more or we're all making less, but we're all essentially making the same...so it shouldn't really matter.
Well chadz said this changes are also for allowing fiefless clans and randomers to play strat, but i think it's too early to care about this. Clanless people will not be interested in the browser part of strat anyway, since they can't do the only thing you can do in current strat: raise a decent army and attack somewhere.
And please don't tell that they can always sell their troops and strat gold for crpg gold, if that's your idea of an economic system strategus will be really a sad place...
Also after clans will take all towns, they will raise taxes destroying further their effectivness (or maybe clans will kick all from their towns and fill them with clan buddies, if it will be more profitable).
Anyway, fiefless people will have to pay taxes to get money, and other taxes to recuit.
And we will all have to play with really shitty equip
