Sunday Large Team Battle 15th of january - Results and Feedback.

[Remy]

Thanks for organizing despite enduring terrifying defeats it was quite fun! 

Was nice to see so much work put into a fun community event, so once more thanks to everyone involved!

Some thoughts/Feedback:

Please no maps with invisible borders easily reached, it is not very fun when one side can easily block off the most dangerous flanking direction. Also, hills are nice but the biggest ones seem to lead to both sides waiting until one side decides to attack out of boredom. With cavalry and ranged limited in number it is not like regular battle where going out into the open automatically means death.

Secondly, I think the teams could have been it a bit more balanced, it seemed like Team 2 was far stronger as infantry. Most rounds the infantry clash was over in record breaking time. (Maybe there could even be a swap of involved teams if things prove too unbalanced. As a clan that is usually strong may one week be missing several vital players or so on. In general it is more fun for everyone when it is an hour of close battles as opposed to one side completely destroying the other.)


All in all I had a great time and eagerly await the next event.

Less ranged and pikes and everything would be perfect.

[Phazey]

Thanks a lot for a great fight guys. Awesome fun. 

Thanks Tristan and the other guys for organizing it. Hope we can do stuff like this on a regular basis.

let's bring some live into it, then:

after the battle we'll release a new major patch, with an entirely new gamemode and new items.

Hooray!

Do only the winners get this?

Thanks to Tristan and any other organizers for making this. Congratz to team 2.

I give my regards to the many people giving suggestions to how my commanading was/is/should be. It's always good to get constructive criticism, but lets not spam Tristan' thread

I do think the teams were slightly unbalanced, but I was also not aware it was allowed to camp one of the map edges. I'm pretty confident it is not allowed in strategus.

Anyway, great fun and I hope we can do this again ;)

Ahh well we tried.

This video sums it up nicely

Camping an edge in Strategus is not a great idea since there's spawn banners.

I do think the teams were slightly unbalanced,

I think the clan line up on both teams was pretty much equally strong. You just had a really bad showup of a lot of the top players from your clans.

My comments concerning team balance:

I did not fully realize the hitting power of the Byzantium + Nord + Bandit melee mob. They pretty much decided the outcome every round from my point of view.
I had expected Merciless + 22nd + wolper + HRE to be a very strong counter to this. It turned out this was not entirely true.

I hope that with the Draft for the next battle we can achieve a better balance.

Or at least somebody else than I is to take the blame

We've only signed up with 5 players, wolper with 5 and HRE with 5, they had a total power of 30 and we of 15 so we'd have been outnumbered 2:1 if everyone took their best players we'd be outnumbered anyway.

We only applied for 5 people and we decided to take the most active players, and that does not directly mean the best players always. We just wanted to have some fun. We did have our fun, and in the end we had 12 Merciless because we replaced literally entire 22nd who had 4 players in the end. But atleast we did well in most of the battles catching a 2:1 or 1:1 kd ratio.

So the teams were kind of unbalanced, but it wasn't too bad to play.

I told you that Bandits fill the gaps perfectly and there sure was a lot of gaps in opposing line-up. With the likes of Kuoin in their ranks we might've had Panos in command and we'd still win.

Yeah we had to sent in someone who wanted to get anally fucked by Bandits, I suspected KuoiN would've been the perfect choice. And so it worked.
