Strategus wipe - new features - vote for your continent!

I actually doubt that a lot of NA vs EU is going to happen. I cant see the reason why someone would put himself at such a disadvantage, ping wise.

The advantage for NA in having a long landmass is actually trading, though (gives bonus based on distance, so the longer you can travel without touching the "enemy" continent, the better for the gameplay)

However, currently we're favoring #1 (NA in the north)

I favor 1, since then it's not just EU in the middle, but also NA.

You kidding? The goons have already said, regardless of the map change, they going to fight hard for their precious afgoonistan.

Hmm perhaps a Wierder map. Something to TRULY break up old claims. Only map I've seen do it partially is the one By breaden, but That still leaves 2 Big EU with their claims.

Have you looked at the one Braeden made???  Well your #1 is better than your #2, braeden's is better than the #1.  Basically the shorter the border, the deeper the lands go where you can have more fiefs farther from the EU/NA border.  With both your maps, chadz, almost every fief is too close to the NA/EU border. 

There is still plenty of land to roam with braeden's but his use of the ocean to cutoff the western side (which is the most diffuse fiefs on map so more land area/travel for the number of fiefs), gives a lot more depth to the NA side instead of just a long stringy mess.  It will actually feel like a continent in itself instead of only a borderland to the EU lands.  It really adds a lot more richness and depth to the NA side of things instead of just shuffling them off to the side and it meets your criteria.

Agreed Braedens is well done. It splits up 1 Major EU, plus the other warlike EU's into other area's.

In order of Preference: Braeden's, chadz #2, chadz #1.

[chadz]

the problem with braedens map, iirc, was that it had too much sea access, which should be roughly the same for both continents for reasons not yet to be announced

Im at work and cant do this right now, but can anyone see if there is a way to do the map of chadz #1 without Ichamur and Reyvadin (so border is snow-line there) and include Suno and Praven?  The western fiefs are far more spread out, so this would add more landmass to balance the small number of fiefs in calculating trade over distance and it would also make the Northwestern and Mid-Northern fiefs actually be rather distant from the border, which I know many clans would want.  it would also make the sea access roughly the same then like chadz mentioned.

Thank you, that looks beautiful.  Really like how it would play out and it fits the criteria for chadz and actually gives balanced sea access to both sides like he wanted.  +9000.  chadz, can we use this map???

[Varyag]

I wish strat had more connection to the crpg (for example in terms of gold income) so peeps can have more incentive to participate in start.

Yeah, good reasons too.

[Oberyn]

Won't trade between EU and NA clans be possible?

[pillagingpanda]

Really like that map Anders +1

[BaleOhay]

I imagine it is a hard line, the border. No fighting and converting fiefs to your own timezone in this round of strat?

[Freland]

Of all those maps chadz's first one is my favorite.
