DRZ tactics: pew pew for 2 hours. Although to be fair the few active players they have (compared to the number they have toiling away in their villages, who never play cRPG, who never play on Strat) are mostly archer or crossbow builds.
I think it's a viable and super effective tactic, don't get me wrong. It's always been since Strat v1, but the effectiveness has decreased every subsequent Strat. Gold wise ranged is already the most expensive part of an army, though I don't think that's ever going to be a problem for megaclans. And it's only going to get nerfed more. The devs were talking about Strat specific mechanics with archers, lowering accuracy unless bunched together, somewhat like the shield wall bonus.
Incidentally, how do Eastern Euros feel about the location of the Strat server? If they're going to be forced to actually melee maybe having a more central server with better ping for extremities would be a valuable thing?
