Ive always found strategus more for a mod like Vikingr, gameplay wise crpg is too dynamic and too focused on the individual to work and be fun in a teamplay and economic way, vikingr is imo the ideal mod for strat, because of it's teamplay factor being very important, this also makes it interesting to really be a team together, instead of loosely clinging to eachother.
Strat combined with c-rpg is just about who can grind the most troops/ticks...
