Ok. We will not spend our time to Strategus. We will just apply for the battles.
But WHO will create those battles then? If all of us will just relax in this beta testing?
You're right, if there is a wipe then you should stop playing cause you will lose all of it.
What about making battles for the game?
What i mean is playing for fun, make a war against somebody but you're not forced to spend hours, not forced to make drama, not forced to whine about "fail" game mechanics, not forced to insult your opponent (don't talk of you but in general).
Ofc, i understand that you could be upset, but if you lose because of external factors, well you have nothing to reproach yourself.
So yeah, you can play the game, create battle but in a relaxed state of mind.
For spawn rape, i'm sure chadz is working on something, but you should understand that without testing, he would never know that this system is a fail, meaning next system could be even worst until he finds something good and fair.
I agree some clans lose a lot of "work" but as i said, there will be a wipe, so ultimately, they would have lost everything anyway
About faction reputation, well i guess dices are rolled since a long time, there is a few big clans, all other will be vassals, some are respected, some not. When you have to prove something, you make it to prove it to yourself, not to others.
btw, Mercs didn't have to prove anything, i guess ppl attacked you because they hated you even before strat started again, they should have know that Mercs are hardcore players (like few clans in cRPG, i say Native clans have better chance), they should have know that it will be a fail...
