Strategus wipe - new features - vote for your continent!

If the economy works, I'm thinking of allowing transferring money out of strat into crpg so you neutral people can profit from it, too.

Ha, I think only half my assets may end up going to my clan now. Fortunately, the clan is so big that they'll never notice my selfishness unless I publicly confess it or something stupid like that.

No I don't, played both mount and blades for countless of hours and I never saw anything called Zendar, what the hell is that, a taleworlds subforum is even called Zendar.

There used to be a neutral city called Zendar on the riverfront somewhere near the northern sea shore, kind of a starter area. For a long time it was the only real town, all other places were menus from which you could visit indoor shops.

AFAIK, it was a neutral town in some ancient old M&B beta version. I only started M&B after 1.xxx versions.

In the big scheme of things it was around for quite a long time, but it has been a while. I think it was removed back when the map was redone to be bigger, and Swadians/Vaegirs stopped being the only two factions. Can't remember version.

Not sure how accurate this poll will be, and I doubt the people voting would offer a really accurate sample of the larger cRPG population. Normaly not a single fuck would be given, however the results of this poll will directly result the environment we'll be playing in. Of course, it's the best that can be done, though, I think.

Idea-- Everybody picks their server preference in strategus, can that info be used to collect data on the proportion of NA to EU players?

The terrain aspect of map travel is a great idea, and would add some strategy. I'd say more but breakfast.

imo give north to the North Americans... EU got plenty of crusader / muslim players that would love to fight over the desert

You mean for two strats in a row EU roleplayers have tried to wage crusades against the hordes of Afghoonistan and have been repulsed every time, and now EU playerbase would rather just displace the people from their rightful homeland by chadz's decree rather then actually have to you know, crusade for it.

Afghoonistan is our birthright, EU or NA, LLJK will never stop until the deserts run green of our triple boars and red of our enemies, Allahu Snackbar, الله يمنح القوة الثلاثية قبل اﻷسطوري

The point is that every continent should have the same space per player. When there are 70% euros and 30% NAs, it would fuck the balance to give every side 50%. It would mean that the NA place is easier because you have less enemies.

Therefore its important to get an accurate picture of how large each playerbase is and distribute the fiefs accordingly.

IMO It should be based on active clans over active players, or active strat players over players; i have been EU servers the majority of players are not in a clan hence they don't play strat, but when you enter NA servers everyone but the newer players are in clans.

I feel like a total douche for being in an international clan and not being effected on the outcome of what the split ratio is.

It feels good man, it feels good...

[Smoothrich]

EU has more players yeah but they are just thousands of horrible pubbies with no interest or clan presence in Strat, given the opportunity I guarantee there would be similar amount of clans actively participating in Strategus from both NA and EU, except maybe NA just doesn't have several stupidly large zerg clans like Grey and DRZ (yeah yeah LLJK, of course).  Those clans would probably have even MORE imbalanced land due to this partition, bordermates of them will ally up and stomp the new entrants with ease since claims tend to be based around cities and there just isn't enough land.

Give that mirrored twice the size version of Strat a go, it looks awesome and its precisely what the majority of this playerbase has been clamoring for (probably).  I don't want to see the vast amount of north america clans (there are a LOT and Strat will give reason for more and more to form) be bottlenecked in some stupid 30 percent section of the map, its hardly fair, and will simply not be big enough for all the drama the NA community brings.  Either way if you divide the current map like this, I guarantee 80 percent of EU map will be UIF again within a few weeks, enjoy your fucked up Strategus balance

So happy to see this, I think that the effect of the new scarcity of land for both sides will either cause a crossing or really aggressive domination of both sides via. warfare.

[justjr]

Yeah, I vote for a LA server :CRY:

[Varyag]

Can't remember version.

I think Zendar was removed from M&B beta since 8.0 ...3 years ago...
Can't believe I play M&B since 2005...

[Snickers]

This is whats gonna happen, the bigger NA clans will take the 30% of the map (all of the NA land), then the smaller clans will have to move into EU territory and get roflstomped; But when it come to EU everyone gets to keep the land they want, even the smaller clans.

And we get to smash our faces against each others all over again!

Actually, if chadz does make 70% of the map EU, Fallen will likely get pushed past the border towards the EU side. Which means EU ping for a lot of Fallen battles

Likewise, only NA would have a scarcity of land. EU can be even more peaceful than they were in the just finished version of Strat

[HarunYahya]

Small clans wouldn't be able to parcipate strategus again ...

So... you think that the effect will cause... the same thing that the NA side was experiencing all along in the desert and surrounding area? Okay, probably yeah, considering NA are a bunch of blood thirsty never dull warmongers. Meanwhile EU will be even more peaceful then before!

Maybe we can straddle a border. that would work very well for us.
