Strategus wipe - new features - vote for your continent!

[arowaine]

the big fact of all this is making people vote yeah but it is hard. There about 60% of the NA comunity that just never come on the forum cause waist of time,and there maybe 40% of the EU that do not speak english at all.But i agree we need to make it fair for both. Hope everyone will vote. Also the split will be well done hehe. yeah also what we do for the clan that are in 2 time zone Eu and Na ????

[Tomas]

well, a way to convert border fiefs to your timezone could be a possibility. it's also something I thought about before, so I'm not punishing the "stronger continent"

That would work instead of a neutral zone so i'll be happy if you do it

[Dalhi]

Keshian I understand your anger, but talking that NA has nearly same player base as EU is just bollocks, well I've noticed that in last 3 months servers are not as populated as they were eralier but still just close look at amount of players in EU and NA servers (of course I'm talking about usuall playing time for NA and EU), EU have nearly twice more players. Also you can't just say that account sharing has singificly increased players activity in strategus... lol. Even if things like that happend whose players didn't just disapeard or didn;t came from nowhere, they were somehow active. ALso keep it in mind that not everyone used it to simplify and to make transfering gold/troops faster.

And this:

you can tell by looking at what their favored settings were set to).

2680 players have their server set to EU,
772 have their server set to NA.

Besides whose facts I wouldn't mind splitting the strategus into the two worlds for NA and EU, playing with 150-200 ping is just bullshit... but I remember battle that I participated in NA server where EU players won with 1.4 K/d ratio... or so.

[Cathaoir]

- NA and EU will get their separate region in the map, so server selection will be based on the nearest fief, not on the defenders choice

Thats going to be epic.

Hopefully the trolls subside enough for Continent wide alliances to form.

eventually it'll be an Army of NA B.E.C. my old friends vs. an Army of EU shield pussies

I don't think we can use this as a fair estimate since it is set to EU server by default and I'm sure there are absolutely tons of random dudes who never bothered to pick a server preference.

Thats why you take those numebrs and see how often and how long those memebrs were logged into strategus, you would find much closer to 50/50 because half those EU were just inactives that had never switched their strategus settings from the default.

[Dalhi]

Even if half of whose players didn't set their servers preferences it's not any close to 50/50 (I guess that half of whose "undecided" are EU)

I don't see the point in voting (any way i did) i think the strat map should just be cut in half one side EU the other NA.

keep all the new stuff chadz added, but just do a 50% 50% split.

Basicly I agree with it, as I mentioned before I would love to see two seperate worlds for NA and EU if it's possible of course.

That will make it all even and there wont be as much trolling about the subject.

Poll makes sense, since if 80% of the people planning on playing strategus/reading the forums about it are from EU, it would suck to have only 50% representation on the map, yeah? Same if the majority are from NA.

How many of those EU clans and players play the game? From what I've seen, a huge majority of EU Strategus territory is occupied by clans who never actually do anything. They just grab a huge patch of fiefs and then sit there doing nothing.

[Dehitay]

I say make the mirror map to increase the size of fiefs and then just jam a neutral zone down the middle third where server preference is set by fief owners

Maybe they were bidding their time like NE was.

[Slantedfloors]

Which is great for them, but in actuality just takes up space from other smaller or more dynamic clans that actually want to fight battles.

[ABCF]

eu should have no servers at first.  i heard they're really good at going in and conquering countries only to leave them to die.

ziiiiiiing

There are ways of smaller clans talking to larger clans to gain lands and thus gaining a foot hold 

I think whole southern area was quite a hotspot in itself, while yes the activity in the Eastern part of the Desert were alittle bit more peaceful.

Eastern part was peaceful? It changed hands like what...4 times?

Edit:

The map definitely needs to be bigger though. There's simply to many people crammed into the area. The amount of landless clans floating around was ridiculous.
