How To Fix Strat's Economy

Also nerfing gold would mean nerfing xp gained from battles ;)

I'd much rather have fun than getting shitloads of xp.

But yeah, I haven't played Strat for long, but it seems that every big battle is tincans vs tincans.

Yep but when every infantry got tincan set, a slightly inferiorly armoured opponent appears to be winning the upper hand (except in very close and chaotic fights where movement speed and manoeuvrability isnt very useful).

So having a medium-heavy armor set + tincan set, and not 100% tincans seems to be the smart thing to do.

what i always think about tincan is that it makes all players who use it broadly the same ... it limits the skill/ killing capability of better players, by slowing them down massively and meaning they can't really move, whilst making worse players (who often don't know how to move anyway), last longer ...

I'm just throwing it out there but i think for situations where you have the chance to move better you're right that the medium armours are better, because the more skilled players have the option to move around more than they can in the full tincan, and therefore have the opportunity to get more kills

Exactly... I tried to do some 100% tincan armies and they failed pathetically (especially when on attack, where they have to climb some steep hills... XD)

But for STR crutcher like me, and heavy cavalry (who doesnt care about walking speed), its beast.
