Hello all.
Morning coffee and some slander on Forums, what a nice start of the day. I think i throw in a few comments.
Mercs vs CBA (Carebear alliance).
Mercs will loose this in the long run, i am quite sure. The mechanics of Strategus will make sure of that. There is no statistically chance that the Mercs can uphold these land when fighting against someone 100 times larger then them self. That is just the math.
In the mechanics of strategus now that idle players farm gold for clans, big clans like Drz and greys have so many players that there is not a chance in hell we can compete with that. They have spys (read neutrals) all over our territory and other places as well. And when they then are in a huge alliance makes this even worse.
The only way to fight this is to make gold income like strategus 1.0 Play cRPG and get gold to your Strategus character. This would severely hurt the biggest alliances who rely to much on idle members. And smaller more active clans have a chance in Strategus as well. If not that at least make it so that you can transfer cRPG gold to strategus.
This is my personal opinion tho.
Anyway i can promise everybody in Greys and Drz or UIF in general. Mercs will cost you so much gold in the future. Think when its castle siege time ? or when or if Mercs are homeless. Even tho its a impossible mission we are on, we will cost you a lot of gold, time and being a pain in ur ass.
Now Bend over....
