Since the mean mean devs have killed my elephant aka heavy plated charger made totally unplayable,
I was trying some different builds to regain some fun.
Well, odd but the fun came back by simply being present when on that one village map, a Druzhina mob of 10, 15 players, all with the same banner and the new nice Druzhina armors marched up the right flank, broke the enemys line and crushed the rest. Looked awesome, really epic, was fun.
I have noticed small groups of Searaiders, Roses, and Mercs before, and it always looks so cool when they wear uniforms and stick together as a team, as a small army in the army.
Unfortunately, there is auto-balance.
I have checked it in the admin panel, auto-balance based on banner seems to be on, but still, when I press tab some Mercs in team a, rest in team b, all the time.
I would like it more when the banner balance was really really strict, that means, to put it very simple,
same banner, ALWAYS in the same team. I am not even in a serious clan, and when its already fun for me to watch, I think its even more fun for those who are in a clan when they can play together with their mates.
Before the patch, this wasnt possible, because the average Merc was 20 levels above the average average player, what would lead to an almost secure victory if all Mercs were in one team.
Now, after the patch, even a casual player can reach level 30 in a few weeks.
Some days ago, I think it was EU2, only a few people, 8 vs 8 or something, and 5 or 6 Mercs in one team, and we knicked them.
So there is no valid argument left against allowing clan-members play together in one team.
Please balance it this way:
Same banner, same team , always.
Balance will work perfectly, like archers feed themselves.
Insecure people/ bad players will fly the banner of clans of a good reputation, and bring them down to an average level. =)
One more thing: Can we have pikes with flags?
When I block right with pike, and march forward, a group of pikemen would already look really cool, but how epic it was when you imagine a group of soldiers, all wearing same uniform and one of them, one guy, one standard-bearer, does a raised right block with a pike, THEIR banner on his pike, like their very own Oriflamme, marching against the enemy. This wouldnt work for Ninjas, lol, but for regular troops, you coward are waiting for the enemy, they are on the other side of the hill in snowy village for example, and the first thing you see is the Druzhina banner, next the Mercs banner, and all you wanna do is run.....................lol epic
