I hope this will fix my strategus character being gone.

What’s a mob to a king? What’s a king to a god?
What’s a god to a non-believer? Who don’t believe in anything?

Did you ever read what we write here ?
If you have the DateBase transactions logs (transaction sequence) - all those buggy equipment can be easy founded and deleted.
Manually, yes. But for last 1-2 weeks there were not more than 50-100 really big battles, which could really affect on equipment bug benefits.

Or even easier way (worser, but much easier) - just remove all equipment gained in last 2 weeks from the battles.

1 SQL query to find a transactions (buggy equipment transactions) that did after the battles (by attackers\defenders UID and a battle time).
1 more to find a list and quantity of equipment  before battle and after battle(--\\--)
1 more to fix it (just update a "current" list and quantity of equipment to the "before battle" state minus "loosing tickets in the battle").
And all.

Or really - wipe all then (fiefs\armies too).

Actually with  a completely new way of making gold and new elements limiting production, the absolute best solution would be a complete wipe.  Neutral village battles will actually be a challenge this time around and therefore more enjoyable.  The giant mega-alliances would dissolve and with such significant changes it would completely shift the dynamic of the game giving more power to smaller clans.  I really think this scenario fits for a full wipe. 

I really enjoyed this round, but this is an alpha and such a major change would actually make it more enjoyable to do a full wipe as already taken fiefs would not skew balance, because fiefs like castles that help with production wont be owned en masse by some and not at all by others and would become much more difficult to take under the new scenario.  It would be a balanced solution and I personally would find it very interesting seeing how such new features work in early game and how they need to be tweaked in such a situation, as this is the purpose - to test new features and this could likely need some tweaking based on the early game development.  Overall, the entire game dynamic has shifted and become an essentially new concept with strategy so all stages of the game need to be tested, not just when all villages are taken and a 1/3rd of the castles.  No one that I know would not keep playing after a wipe as strategus is too much fun and a more difficult early game will actually be really enjoyable.

Not sure if changes will be balanced for both early and late stage game and a full wipe would be a great opportunity to test this.  To be honest as much funa s I was having with all these battles it was already gettign a little stale with the current gold/troops dynamic as it turns out from waht we heard that the UIF still exists and the entire other side of the map had to ally to counter it and it was really leading nowhere.  Kind of curious if people will really be so fixed that they will carry alliances over from 2 strategus ago?  Would probably make it more of a free-for-all with a full wipe where maybe we can get rid of some of the fixed territorial claims ideas leftover from the original strategus and new dynamic diplomatic relations will be formed.

so essentially - FULL WIPE.

Wipe the entire strat.

 What your doing right now is effectively removing any standing which smaller clans might have or have gained.

The goal of Strategus battles shouldnt be to deprive your enemies of players, but to have full roster both sides and have the gear/tactics/strategy win the day rather than lack of merc support.

its a BETA

dont play if you dont want stuff to go bad, be wiped, be fixed, be experimented etc.
If we will not play - who will play?
Who will build Empires, planning smth, developing strategies, tactics etc?
Random players? Cos in this case there is no point to do smth meaningful. Senseless.
Just collect troops\goolds and random attack random target. Just for fun.
How this type of the game helps to make a game better?

Close strat for a week/month or another year.
Make your "beta testers" test it and report all bugs it has , solve all shits implement new buggy features test again and when it is READY host it to your community.We are here to play a game not to test . If we are all testers why do you have "beta testers" ? Everytime we work hard a bug fucks it all....
I got bored of dev's announcements such as "Yes , but its on beta stage either play it or gtfo."
Test it then release it .We spent lots of time on this game , that shouldn't be the outcome....
Btw i realized something all posters who want "Full wipe" are already lost or losing factions of current strat , really surprising eh ?

You sure have high hopes for Warband, games usually get outdated and no new members join.

YOU are my beta testers! If you want a semi finished project, wait till you see a strategus link in your crpg page. This round serves it purpose perfectly, lots of bugs got found that a closed beta could never have.

Sorry, but it's not my fault you found the link to strategus beta in some topic that stated that its a very early version and ignored that statement.

Why de hell do you tell me to take it down, when all you have to do is not fucking open the page if it bothers you. What a self entitled snob....

Yes, because the dozen or so beta testers we have can definitely simulate a full Strategus game and discover all bugs and exploits. Come on, now, at least try to be sensible. chadz has already said many times that anyone playing Strategus right now should consider himself a tester.

I didn't realize Union were among the losers. Live and learn.
