and why would a bigger map solve timezones problem ? (that is just an ego matter imo)

your solution is to let everyone have their own territory atm ... you should offer that to Israel and Palestine they'd be happy but in a conquest game why da fuck would ya let everyone have territory ?

you know, after taking 3 towns it gets boring quite fast

A bigger map because we have a lot more players, and to give small clans a chance to shine before being crushed instead of letting powerhouses have the map.  Right now there are already dominate clans on the strat map and a huge number of clans don't own anything right now. c-RPG has a lot more players right now then the old Strat did, and it is crowded. After everyone "settled" you would still have wars.

How is this different then creating two continents and having a massive void for NA to fill while leaving EU crowded?

are you applying for miss america in this thread ? :x

i  know you're trying to be cute but once again it's a conquest game, fuck carebears :x little clans aren't meant to be powerful without having allies or means ... logic

there won't be any war if everyone can have his territory, let the wise old man speak (lowl)

crowded means tensions means WARS, you see, i use keywords so you can understand ;)

Yeah...I thought cRPG was a game about balance. Shouldn't Strategus be too?

you were wrong

it's war ... since when is war balanced ?

I am not trying to be cute, I am trying to explain that a game of risk with 2 player is boring, but play it with 4 or 8 players and it is exciting, but play it with 20 players and suddenly the board is too fucking small.

Imagine the Arena Battle Map with a 200 man battle. Get it? Too. Fucking. Small. It is like dueling with Chainsaws in a phone booth, not fun.

EDIT:

you were wrong

That is an absolutely retarded stance on a game...

I am not against crowded as crowded does cause wars. I am against Overcrowding.

Imagine the Arena Battle Map with a 200 man battle.

it'd be awesome

EDIT:That is an absolutely retarded stance on a game...

fair enough, ask devs

[Tears of Destiny]

fair enough, ask devs

If you read their posts, they always make their decisions off of "gamebalance" even if it is debatable whether it was a balanced decision, it was made with the intention of game balance. We even have a forum called "Game Balance."

So yeah, the devs agree that game balance is important... just how you get there can be a difference of opinion.

are you new to crpg ? 

more than 1 year i'm on crpg, you rookie, i know what i'm talking about

[Tears of Destiny]

are you new to crpg ? 

more than 1 year i'm on crpg, you rookie, i know what i'm talking about

The evidence points otherwise...

[Earthdforce]

You sound delusional.

[Olwen]

what evidence ? i already explained why your solution was stupid, not gonna repeat it hundred times because you don't even consider what i told you

then if you wanted examples about why crpg never was balanced,

awlpike on horse was op then knockdown was op then archery was op then throwing was op then xbows were op then lolstab was op then archery was OP again, etc ...

but well, if you thought you were right and knew more about the subject than me, what's the point of discussing ?  i said what i thought, read it back then talk to me 

[hotcobbler]

I would support separating EU/NA completely because it evens the playing field as far as ping is concerned, and more battles will be fought during prime hours for both sides.

Also, I think having less clans dominating would prompt new/small clans to rise up and at least take a town, maybe gain more members, and grow. Right now the map is EXTREMELY noob/clan-unassociated unfriendly. That might be ok for a game with a 10,000+ player base, but not for cRPG. I would like to see this mod grow if possible, but between repair costs and large clan takeovers, it won't likely happen.

[Jambi]

Easy solution besides banning all of NA:

Wipe Strategus again.

Make Calradia bigger, much bigger, increase the amount of settlements by 300%

When joining Strategus ask the player "Are you NA or EU?." Depending on what option the player clicks will determine which side of Calradia he randomly spawns on, this way the middle still has messed up time battles but people can still beat each other up as they please, and one side is just EU and one side is just NA...

Seriously dumb fucking idea.

And after a couple of weeks, NA is mixed with EU again. Or NA initiates and attack on another NA... in the middle of the night, and have EU players fight there battle.

Also. I hear alot of people whine about how the playerbase is too small, too split the server etc.
I think if the times were more doable for casual players... they might actually get more into Strategus.

[Overdriven]

The time slots are stupid. A definite split of some kind is required.

Olwen's evidently a tard.

I think those are the two main lines of agreement that come out of this thread.

[Olwen]

so when you disagreed with someone he's a tard, nice way of thinking insulting people is the last means of stupid people out of arguments
