Split the next Strategus into NA and EU.

The idea is simple, keep NA_3 and _EU_3 permanently apart from one another. Let the sophisticated EU throw tea parties in one server, and leave the uncivilized NA to steal each others cattle in the other server.

It has been a while since this was last presented, so here it is again. I'm curious on what people think after some time has passed.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

No, don't, just give NA the token river field Vaegir lands and mountain clad Steppes again instead of the prime Rhodokian and Swadian lands to play in.

To be fair Malaclypse, this whole NA/EU split was LLJK's fault. You see, the EU and their terrible alliances could never properly remove us from Afghoonistan. Like Herpes, we were always simply there waiting to ruin their next big date. So chadz, in his infinite wisdom, decided to split the two with regions by throwing all of NA in the white barrens of the north to eensure that EU players finally could play in Afghoonistan the sandbox.

No matter how long you guys cry - I will not give in to dumbing strategus down because some people just want battles. If all you want are battles, then play cRPG, not strat. There are other people who like advanced gameplay.

I HAVE A BETTER IDEA. We can all pitch in and pay for a Strat Battle Server that will be located on a boat or an old oil rig out in the middle of the atlantic ocean. Whenever its a NA vs EU strat battle the battle will take place on that server, where we will all have decent ping, or atleast the same ping.

ADD BERLIN WALL AND PEW PEW AT (EASTERN) EUROPE!
For while the fire in the heart of a single Remnant still burns... can Stratia truly have fallen?

Somewhat agree.  For such a ping-dependent game, making EUs play on NA servers and vice versa seems a bit odd.

Ideally, I guess, you form EU-NA alliances so that you can have players in both time zones, but apparently we'd rather fight each other (and NA additionally fights internally).

The only thing I see that the EU-NA joined server accomplished was to add more players.  I assume that was the point, but since we rarely interact (due to time zones and pings), I don't think it's having the intended effect.


Basically, if you go down to EU lands, sit in the area of Tshibtin (southwest of Dhrim city, south of the big crevice) you'll see endless trains of huge EU caravans going basically NW to SE and back.

Even knowing this, who wants to run over there and fight in EU pings to stop them?  So they just get free massive caravan trains endlessly running the map unopposed (whereas fighting on the NA side largely, I think, prevented anyone from having one long, free caravan area.)

I think this is actually a good idea, maybe reducing the population of strat a bit relative to the map size would do something cool to stimulate more players to join.

Can't believe I'm agreeing with Tears but.. I agree with it.  I think a lot of EU players would say the same, even though they are murdering our peasant fiefs they still seem to hate playing with U.S..


And if the map is going to be split again, how bout mixing it up a bit?

Don't feel bad about it cause it's bound to happen to all of us, sooner or later, since ToD is so ever-present.
Do you honestly think you have any sort of moral authority, Reyiz? Go genocide some more armenians and deny it ever happened, please, and stay in the middle east.

Just remember the "Million Monkeys at a Keyboard" theory, where if you have a million monkeys pounding away, eventually you will have the complete works of Shakespeare.

It was the best of times, it was the bluRST OF TIMES?!?!?!! YOU STUPID MONKEY!!!

Also I don't think comparing yourself to a million monkeys is appropriate.  Take that however you want.

I'll take that as a safe and reassuring sign that you have never read my mind or glimpsed inside of it.
