For those people posting that they think the Pub Crawl ruined Strategus - yeah, it might have been boring for you, but it was formed as a way for all involved to essentially stop playing. Personally I found the idea of stockpiling troops and gold (yeah, really, since it only came from cRPG grind) for ever a little dull. Some factions obviously find that hugely entertaining, but I don't. And the alternative was/is to go to war, an option that requires far too much time and commitment. Staying up till the early morning every night of the week wore a little thin.

Its a little naive to pretend that Strategus would have turned out any differently if the Pub Crawl hadn't happened. In fact, we postponed the inevitable a little by opening up huge amounts of land for other new clans. The way it is currently, it'll always end in stalemate because there is no goal - except the one of world conquest, which is only feasible with a huge super alliance made up of a lot of factions. Which hasn't happened yet, but it would eventually after the last two super factions fight it out - except that they wouldn't, there'd be a few battles and then one side would get bored and give up.

Its also nice to see that the people accusing the Pub Crawl of destroying Strategus/making it boring are members of the largest clans. If you're all so bored, why don't you stop sitting around and fight? Fallen can attack the Northern Alliance of Lethargy, Mercs can go fight UIF, and LLJK can mop up the smaller clans

Oh, and nice thread UIF folks.

Not really.
I can understand that wars were going to take too much commitment and that stockpiling is boring, but Pub Crawls simply cut off the only enterteining thing of strategus: the plots.
After Pub Crawls there was no need to keep with those TS meeting, irc contacts and all the things that were working. And I'm not part of any big clan since AB counted half a dozen of members active in strategus and that the Legio has always been the underdog.

My point is, strategus has many flaws, first of all the chance to get attacked at absurd time, but pub crawls just turned it in a joke. I didn't play crpg nor strategus after the siege of Yalen until now that new patch came out.

About the current boredom: weren't the Fallen at war with UIF? They seem to be enjoying their stockpiling considering that UIF is stil busy clearing crawlers out of the map....

Strategus is currently frozen and beware to anyone that makes any kind of attack considering how many troops have been recently lost to bugs with the new patch.  There will be time enough for war when things get stablized/fixed.

Please note that Grey Order just moved to a new TS:

62.20.172.153:9987

TS Password : warband

(this is EDIT: previous info was misleading)

It is actually a quite big TS, 512 slots, so we will be able to host all Strategus battles. The TS is dedicated to Warband, and we share it with some other clans, mostly Native, but also other Mods.

You are all welcome to visit us

Bump!

Everything that was written by Nebun (except the first post) is his personal point of view and not official UIF statement.

I hope that with the wipe there will be new alliance and new intrigue, just a new game. Ofc clans will not attack a former ally (even if it happens in the past) but there are many new clan.

Nobody knows how it will be but this is the closest assumption.

What I can say for sure that after Strategus wipe (fiefs, gold, armies etc.) will be a completely new game and all previous game agreements and obligations will simply expire. But the one thing will still remain, a very important thing - Faction's reputation (read: faction's Leader behavior). This you can wipe only by creating brand new faction headed by unknown person.

Couldn't agree more.
The Caravan Guild will turn more neutral, would be awsome when the trading goods work properly and we could go from one edge off the map to another, getting to transport goods for all our clients needs
