for equip as a rule of thumb for 1k tickets
in strat 2 it was 100k gold, medium tier
in strat 3 it was 150k gold, medium tier
in strat 4 it was at start roughly 250 k gold, medium tier
in the late game of strat 4, for 1.6k plate siege armies you needed roughly 500k to 800k gold(?)
in strat 5 it is now roughly 500k gold for lower then medium tier gear in avverage
for same gear 1.6k Siege army with siege gear you need roughly 1 million gold
Now you can trickle the 500k for siege gear down to say 250k, but damn you will run into problems asap when those sieges then go against player castles.
Point is, the stuff became too expensive
Yes, we have not forgotten about strategus.
The round will start in 10 days, and last exactly for 10 months.
Changes that will be implemented:
- Item prices will be increased by price^1.35
I would suggest price^1.14 to 1.25max; As also seen from the example calculations of Moncho ^1.35 is a huge increase and we now have only 10 months, having the last 2-3 months more fullplate armies should be ok, the first full plate armies in strat 4.0 came after roughly 6-7 months. So if a plate would be roughly 2.5 to 3 times the price of the strat 4.0 prize i would see as ok instead of x8
- PP production rate will be lowered
=> less trade, less discounts, less progress
[/list]
so these changes went too far in my eyes. Also the crime rate change did hit more the smaller and less organized players and clans, not so much the bigger clans or those who got that aslong you have low prosperity or are able to buy goods constantly in a fief, you will have no problem there and can stack your troops there without a sweat.
That then also all results in more frustrations ^^, why bother. Singleplayers are pretty much fucked over with ever patch i ever have seen to strategus. Nothing really to do for them then to S&D steal(because trade is not allowed), scout and try not to be caught by factions, who with their paranoia wont allow just anyone in their realm or even use their S&D freely. And don't even get me started on those fucking huge factions allying to other fucking huge factions fuck that shit, making others to play together or hold back on their dislikes so they wont get picked off one by one. That shit has to stop somehow.
my suggestions:
- c-sites and c-material prices needs to be lowered
- PP reductions need to be removed
- the price curve within the medium tier area needs to be lowered
