new gamemode - ladder?

[Ujin]

A fief holder can be the one who starts the tournament (let's say only 1 time every 2-3 weeks), takes care of the prize money for winners and on the other hand the fief (be it a castle or a town) gets some temprorary bonuses while the tournament is held/after it's over , like let's say x2 population increase or resources produced for example. So both arranging and participating in tournaments would be benefitial.

Rewards coulde be either heirloomed weapons/money/resources/something else, given for both strategus and crpg.

Both Clan tournaments (group battles) and jousting/dueling tournaments can be held in Strategus, making them more connected to it and imo more epic.

There is 22 Towns and 48 castles. So, the Tournaments should not be allowed to make too soon, so they would be more specific. As most would definitely want to keep it as soon as possible.

Would it be better to make Tournament's separated, as Towns for Clan's and Castles for Single player Tournaments?

Would like to hear chadz's opinion. What he thinks about these.

Or would the separated ladder system be better?


Edit: oh, the reward. maybe some kind of fief owner deciding system. Gold, Resourses, Items and Fame.

Whats so hard about doing both.

the proposed ladder system should have nothing to do with strategus.  strat is a giant "total war" scenario, and the ladder would be competitive team play for rankings.
small and large team combat with pre-registered TEAMS
Like a sport.
Its not about your strategus clans, or taking away from the overall gameplay at all.
Start a season with definate start and end times,
and then field a sign up sheet and see how many teams (note teams, not clans) get registered.
If there is not enough participation, then dont do it.

But, as the ladder continues, you can bet more teams will join and more people will want to join and form league teams.
I am simply envisioning TDM matches btw.

Keep the ladder out of strategus... Its for sports and strategus is seriooos.

A tournament system in strategus would be cool (like SP tournaments)...have bring your own gear mode, or standard gear provided by the host.  You'd have to pay a fee to join, and winner gets most of the money or something.  Actually we could do something like this already if strat was up, but it would rely on ppl being honest and cooperating.

Sports and politics walk hand to hand.

[Ganon]

I would like to point out something that might be overlooked by the devs. The servers are lagging, so any new features should take that into account.

[Beauchamp]

there are a lot of great ideas (like town owners could organize tournaments, while this would give their fief some bonus etc...). i like most of the things people said here including some official ladder game supported by devs.

soon (probably starting from next week) i will do my own ladder system for clan tournaments, hopefully with help of some other people too. i'm not going to wait weeks for some new game mode when i can make it up myself with all the possibilities crpg already enable :o)

not at all, and it'll be funnier with this kind of tournament as in SP,

 imo 1 tournament/month/faction would be more than enough, otherwise i can already see the exploits,

only for towns and the owner can choose type of tournament as in SP for ai : melee, ranged, cav, well you know what it is btw you shouldn't be allowed to refuse any applicant, would be lame

22 towns ... let's say there's 8 factions owning at least 1 town, up to 8 tournaments/month, more than enough

If it was to be elaborated further, chadz, that would be brilliant.

Someone already suggested a betting system. +1 to that!

Just image a strategic map 'behind the battles...People fight for 2 allied factions (they join in website). Battles determines the result of the strategic map war. Siege (towns-castles) gives bonus.

They just fight and it gives a final result.

Before I retire to my bed, I typically enjoy a bit of jolly gentleman's alone time.

I believe this idea shall provide me with the stimulation required.

We have something similar already. It is called Strategus. Or you are really joking?

[Sultan Eren]

Clan teamdeathmatch or conquest can also be awesome.

Damn, i can't explain myself...No, i wasn't joking. The idea was make something 'more tactical for CRPG. I guess Strategus is great, but sometimes you prefer something 'lighter (time). A goal for CRPG battles was what i was suggesting. Anyway, i'll make a better explained suggestion.
