Do you play strat any more? (log in/fight battles)

[RandomDude]

I just became really uninterested in strat lately. It's not even because we dont have a village any more. I was looking forward to being raiders. It would be more fun - more battles, less sitting in fiefs crafting.

But... I just cant be arsed. There's no motivation for me to log in.

I know other clans/ppl feel the same and have given up way before this but just how many people actually bother now?

I just do an occasional battle here and there, tbh did about 3 total this strat

I played Strat 3 for the first two weeks and then came to the conclusion that it is totally flawed and boring and not worth the time. Still it's nice to read about it

I just make some money on strat and sell it for cRPG gold by sitting in a town, working and selling it in the same place. I lost the motivation long ago. Strat is boring.

[Herkkutatti]

Been Raiding since Strat 3 started.

hahaha this is so true

Still playing, but the primitive UI is getting me down: http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,29320.0.html

People calling for a reset are silly, by the way.  You reset AFTER you make a lot of major updates.  Resetting now would be silly.

My impression is they basically gave up on developing Strategus.  Lost interest, maybe.  I mean it took, what, 3 months between the time chadz said they were cutting crafting costs and finally doing it?  And I think that was the last major strat update.

The mod has been running for 2 yearsish now. Maybe the devs have just lost the energy to deal with it(us).

Would be nice to know will stategus get some updates in the future.

If this happened there is just no any sence for me  to play warband.

"We" are still working on strategus v2 (=same functionality but improved UI + cleaned up code base). Progress slowed down because i got tired of it after working on it alone for months. We got a new dev member recently (MrIlluminati) that wants to work only on strategus, so we will see how that works out.

[CrazyCracka420]

yeah it seemed like it was seeing little progress lately (haven't seen many comments from dev's in either strategus general or issues forums for going on 6 months now).

There's a shit ton of good suggestions for improving strat, but if you don't have a lot of dev's working on it, then i can see why it's been slow going seeing updates/progress. 

any way you can convince the other dev's to leave c-rpg alone and focus on strategus (crpg is pretty well balanced in anyone's viewpoint, the only ones bitching still are people too dumb to figure out teamplay and tactics).

i still like playing in strat battles, and we are still "playing the game" in the steppes.  but it seems like it's basically completely peaceful in like 90% of the map.

[Harald]

There are no other devs doing any serious website/backend work (areas where most of strategus v2 happens) besides me and now MrIlluminati. I'm reading all the suggestions and keeping an eye on them, but #1 priority is to get rid of the old strategus code, then we can start thinking about/implementing new features. I hope that once this heavy lifting is done there will be more dev activity again in these areas.

[CrazyCracka420]

If I could even do basic scripting without having to google every time I need to edit VB Script I'd certainly volunteer my time.

If there's anything a technical person can do to help with besides coding I'd be more than willing to help, but I'm guessing it's programming that is needed.

Also I'm pretty sure there's 100's of people who love the idea of strategus that if they could help at all they would.  I know there's a lot of programmers in the community.  If it's just a matter of manpower, and you can delegate the tasks to other people without slowing down your progress, just ask and I'm sure you'll get a lot of offers.

Glad to hear you at least are still working on Strat and its good that you have some help now.   If I could help I would, but my only programming knowledge is based on a basic C++ programming course I did 6 years ago at Uni If there's a boring non-skilled task that needs doing though, then i'm your man

[Harald]

We are still looking for php coders. We had a few candidates but most gave up pretty fast. The only non-coding task i can think of right now is improving the location areas for the strategus map. I did them first in photoshop but that turned out to be the wrong tool for that job (outlines overlapping, not "jagged" enough). If someone wants to help with that and knows Inkscape (or wants to learn it, quite easy) let me know.
