Strat tics for strat battles.

[Bjarky]

1: Strat tics for strat battles pls :3

2: And also would be nice to have an addition for strat merc pay after battle so that when someone gets payed strat gold for their battles, they get an simultanious pay on their crpg char x5, so fx 50 merc pay strat gold would also give 250 gold on their crpg char.
Could also add some more interest for strat i think.

Discuss 

EDIT: Poll fixed.

[Miwiw]

oh, voted before I've read. Strat ticks in Strat battles, yes.

But you shouldnt get anything in crpg by playing Strat, except for the XP. If you want gold in crpg, go play crpg!

(otherwise we would also need upkeep in Strat if you gain crpg gold there, and I dont think you would want that)

[Segd]

yay, totally!

BTW, 1 strat tick goes per 200sec & 1crpg tick goes per about 50 sec(cause of 2 ticks at fist minute).
But you could get ticks from x2 only(anti-leaching measure), but you also need to sit in TS about 30 min before the strat battle. So I suggest that 1 strat battle tick should give about 4-5 normal ticks.

thats not what i meant, i meant for merc pay after battle purely.
when u fight u ofc only get xp and hopefully strat tics someday, gold u can only get if the commander chooses to pay his mercs after battle.

EDIT: i will redo the poll so ppl can vote for strat tics or both.

Great then DRZ and grey could attack each other and build up strat ticks for your unbanned multi accounts even faster

Well, they've got more gear than players these days...

Or at least they will unless the Nords keep lapping up the stuff that cheaters cheated to obtain.

[Bjarky]

keep it clean pls, there are other threads for the drama etc. 
also i dont think it should give more tics than normally ingame, cus i just think when u use ~10-90 mins per strat battle that u could have used to play normal crpg, u should at least have gotten that amount.
so it shouldn't be much stronger than the usual crpg tic gain.

Whatever brings more players into strategus I think would be good.  High rewards like in the good old days would be nice.  I don't like playing c-rpg, i'm only interested in strategus so it'd be nice to be rewarded in strat.

I brought up the strat ticks already there. The other addition is nice too.

Honestly Bjarky its not a bad idea, in principle. However, whenever you consider adding or removing a mechanic from a game you have to consider how it could be exploited.

With this iteration of Strat the change you suggested could easily be exploited by multi-accouters in the following manner.
1) Multi-accounting Faction 1(MF1) attacks Multi-account Faction 2 (MF2).
         a) Both the MF'ers armies are not armed and have 100 troops for free.
2) MF1 and MF2 only accept their accounts for the battle.
2) When they "battle" they all spawn naked and stand around until the timer runs out.

Result: In one hour both Multi-accounting factions have just gained enough Strat ticks to never play cRPG again.

Overall: It's a good idea and I wish it would work since I really don't play much cRPG anymore. But since confirmed cheaters remain in this community we have to let good, but easily exploitable, ideas like this go.

[Bjarky]

i believe we have enough whistleblowers in this community already, if things like this should happen u dont have to wait to long before anyone makes an forum post about it happening 
clans have enough enemy's to keep watch and a strat tic that u can gain in the same'ish time playing normal crpg just isn't worth a ban for leeching or glitching.
its not that hard to get an admin on from IRC or to collect some fraps and screens to prove this stuff and since the devs already have gotten more tough, i believe these things wont be looked upon with ease.
