New strategus map, EU/NA Split

[Braeden]

The_Angle, getting mad at strat 2.0 results errday.

For content: Is there any word of controlling a village/castle/town of the opposing server type, ie a NA clan controlling an EU based village, for a certain amount of time will flip it? I know it was mentioned as possibility for the future but did not see if it was implemented in the next round?

The entire point of this is no, you can't flip it.

It doesn't matter how many people are on the servers. What matters to me is people willing to play strategus. And strategus also means forum.

Also, stop referring to the "winner" or "loser" in that poll. It wasn't about winning or losing, but to get an accurate picture of the ratio of eu vs na players. No one "won", because everyone will have a fair share of the map, according to their playerbase. It sounds as if people think that Europeans will have an easy time, while NA will be crowded. If the vote is correct, and I think it is, everyone will have the same ppp (players per pixel). If it seems to be off, we can maybe do another vote halfway through the game and flip a few fiefs over (if those are in NA hand already)

But in general, i agree with matey - allowing to switch a fiefs server after it's conquered will just promote the opposite of what we want. Therefore it will be better to not have that option.

I hope when EU developers realize that there are far more NA clans then they currently think, that this will happen and NA will get a few more fiefs.  Also, probably about that time to:

I think chadz might have better access to accurate stats about the playerbase than your sources Kesh. Incidentally, where do you get these random numbers and percentages you're always throwing around?

exxageration.
Though in terms of ACTUAL players playing, i'd say they servers are fairly equal. NA players are dumb, or don't care, about strat. I can tell you from experience that when strat first came out, everyone wanted to know what it was. But, what killed it for a lot of people were clans(specifically EU ones who like to stomp any problems out in their claims: EX: fallen). THe randoms on NA just don't want to play anymore after that. Hopefully with the gearing up towards the individual it might make more randoms play more!

What do you mean by actual players? cRPG players? Did you not read the last page or something? When it comes to Kesh and this subject, exageration isn't the term, ignorance is. Literally did not have the first clue about the approximate number of EU crpg players at primetime, yet felt qualified to come on the thread and make a bunch authoratitive posts throwing around percentages like it was a researched economics paper instead of stuff made up on the spot cause it sounded good (for one side of the argument, obviously).

We must be looking at a different server list to him.

I have no idea why you keep posting bullshit number like 400-something.

I had to cut and copy as i took a 4 screenshots of the entire list but as off 8:20 on a week night 40mins before what you would call peak time we have a nice ammount online : )

You have got to be kidding - you included the EU3 test battle that half the players were NA??  That people made a special point of showing up for - I'm sure that doesn't skew the numbers lol.

So at our coming home time we have 314 players yesterday na didnt even have 150... at there coming home time, Kesh are you starting to get the point ? stop making up numbers and stats that are quite easily proven wrong!! Also were are all these Na clans? why do they keep getting talked about but are not actually appearing?

Guys.... i would give up. In his/her mind NA is the best, no matter what.
