Strat Suggestions (wipe?)

[BattalGazi]

First of all it's such a relief that so many people are having problems with the last version of strategus. Correct me if I'm wrong but, this one was the shortest with respect to head to head battles and long lasting conflicts. This time, we had the NA/EU split which destroyed the old balance between clans and one side has literally crushed the other in EU part ( because of missing auxiliary or major balancing forces that used to exist once )

While I'm agreeing with the general concepts, I can add the following:

* I guess it will be impractical, but enlarging the map will be really good. Not another continent or alike but just an expansion to the north and east.  After then, EU/NA split will be completely efficient and meaningful. If not possible, this split is still reasonable to be honest.
*I'm tired of seeing neutral villages being captured within minutes as there's no one to defend it. Why not giving some kind of bonus to those who participate from a faction; a bonus which can be used within that faction such as temporary crafting skill boost, strategus gold, temporary sales on strategus market ... Increased amount of XP and gold for c-rpg also would do good in means of attracting factionless players as well as the faction members. Find a solution to this, it really kills the mood of the game.

Just wipe everything, and I mean EVERYTHING

I'd actually like to see the NA/EU split go away, it isn't working.  I'd also like to see the night time feature go away as well.

For a EU/NA clan like Fallen that would be great, yeah.

The last thing I want to see is a bigger map. 
- Its been 3 months and we've only just seen the last village taken
- There are still all the Castles & Town's to take which represent nearly half the map's fiefs and nearly all the population
- It will encourage carebearing even further as they can claim even more lands and expand even further before they get bored

The NA/EU split should stay but after capturing a fief you should be able to change the server in a 1 time deal.  It should take a week to come into effect though.  This way the map can react to changing NA/EU populations and mixed clans like the Fallen aren't limited to very specific areas of the map.

Nighttimes should only apply to characters and not fiefs which should only be attackable during an 8 hour primetime.  Thye should still be raidable at any time though.

I would like to see the ability to carry multiple types of trade goods, I don't really know why you can't currently, but it severely limits trading.

It would also be nice to set a crafting item number. I make 27 swords at a time.. sometimes I only want 10 swords.... but get stuck over crafting. Other time I need 500 and have to make sure I am back on strat to stop crafting.

4 and 6 are bullshit, otherwise good suggestions

Would be too abusable

Why don't all the clans just declare all-out warfare on each other just for the hell of it?
I find that total domniation is a helluva lot funner than a diplomatic victory. (Gal Civs 2)

I mean can't we all act like we are choas space marines for once?

Wars between clans usually make those clans dislike each other because of the nature of attacking at bad times for the other, using bullshit camping tactics with archers, insulting each other on the forums ect ect. So clans who are friends with each other don't want to war with each other and ruin their friendship.

If i ever feel like joining a new clan, the only way i would stay sane if the clan was constantly at war with someone.

Almost any NA clan will do then.

[Reinhardt]

But... I want to keep my pink text. :/


Bah. I don't care too much. I can still merc and make cRPG gold by working for a faction. Anyway, I'm all for these updates. Strategus IS boring. Nothing but drama at this point. Implementing at least some of these suggestions (including the wipe) would help bring back interest in strat.

How?

If i'm an EU player and somehow manage to take an NA fief with poor ping, then at the point of capturing it I have to pick its new server.  If I keep it as NA then that's it, I can't change it later.  If I change it to EU then it takes a week and all the NA clans have 1 week of it still being an NA fief in which to recapture it. 

The only way that you will ever manage to switch a fief's server is if people let you.  That is not abuse.
