Something is broken... the community?

CHAOS got Tadshamesh because only 5 defenders showed. What a joke.

[Keshian]

No gold, shit xp, gain new enemies.... why not go play skyrim instead of the neutral strat fight.

[Tears of Destiny]

Perhaps we need a reward system, where it gives a large extra bonus to defenders. You can only defend so many AI villages before they are taken anyways.

[Haramir]

Some clan declared war when 6 people of another clan help the defence of AI, so everyone is afraid to get in war because of helping neutral

[Darkkarma]

I think it has to do largely with the fact that the fight was mid day on a Saturday. Our other village attacks had much better turn outs. But yeah, that carebear mentality is definitely a factor too.

We would have taken Tadsamesh either way. 

[BaleOhay]

We declared war because in all our fights the other side was generally made up of three clans. Hosp/Occ/ATS. Not that we needed a reason but that one will do.

I could not sign up against Karma.. Last strat we fought and fought.. and after fighting he went and told Mom on me that i was picking on him. So now we are forced to play nice or neither or us will get dessert after dinner.

[BlackMilk]

skyrim.

[Digglez]

maybe address or even acknowledge a 6month old bug that villages dont pay mercs for fighting....


I woulda been there but I overslept

[Ufthak]

Should give a large exp bonus for NPC defenders also.

The wonders free liquor for the defenders before a battle works...

lol it's the mercs that must be raging they had to fight 30 vs 60 and they lost good gear.

Now it's at best 60 vs 20  for big clans without enemies So you sign up once realize it's not fun and don't sign again.

Also since it's almost impossible to succeed by yourself in strat because small armies loose all their gear every time they fight, clanless people just don't have any interest in it.

No.  When you sign onto someone else's battle, you use their equipment, not yours.

There is no cost for joining a neutral village battle.  You use the village's equipment.  In fact, even if it's 60 vs 10 you might as well join and just keep spawning to stop them from capping the last flag.  Every time they have to kill you it will cost the village 1 ticket and more gear -- tickets and gear the attackers would have gotten for free, had they won without killing you!


If nothing else, I'm surprised the Great Troll Armada of cRPG doesn't do this, purely to make the attackers waste all those troops and gear.

Yes, that's how it is.

[Thucydides]

this might change if chadz makes armor loot recoverable. Because mercs deserve a portion of the war booty scavenged or captured from the enemy.
