1. If your strategus faction would be linked to your player id, one could do some nice helpful stuff with that:
Strategus:
- On the battle roster, it shows you the faction of the applicant, no matter which char. Want to use spies? Kick em out of your faction
- Gold gained trough crpg from all chars, not only the one in strategus (does this still apply?)
Crpg:
- Autobalance based on faction, not banner (some like the shogunate use different banners, dont they?)
- Transfers out of strategus (as once planned) can go to all chars, not only the one in strategus
Forums:
- As registering here is done via playerid, too, you could link faction with forum acc
- Faction leaders get a "you own a fief, want a private subforum?" button, allowing them to ask for one, which only the faction members can see. It wont spam the forum layout, as you will only see your factions forum on the mainpage, and would help small factions who just want to drop off some informations for their faction
2. Force creation of a forum account
- As soon as you enter your first char into strategus, you will be forced to create a forum account, too, both will be linked
- If you click on a player/fief in strategus, it will give you his/owners forum name (and/or a direct link to pm him)
- If you have an unread PM, you will get a notifier on your crpg and strategus site
This would allow for some real conversations in strategus, it is quite hard to communicate with neutrals, as you have no way to talk to players you don't know
3. Navigation frame
A simple html frame on top of each site, allowing us to jump between the crpg, strat, strat-info and the forum page would be helpful
