Well personally I think they should just give us all a 30 day window for strategus 3.0. I think they really need a new version after all that has happened this strat version, and especially now that they made the change where you have to be active in c-rpg to be useful in strategus.
A lot of NA people who left c-rpg due to strategus issues, have come back, and have come back in high numbers. I think they still need to test the mechanic they implemented where you can add-on to your fiefs, so I say give it another month or so, but give everyone notice. That way we're spending all our money, and all our troops, for testing everything out that we possibly can (especially the upgrading fiefs part, which I don't know if that has been tested really in production, i.e. seen an actual battle with fief upgrades).
Also, I'm sure there are still a lot of cities and some castles that have problems with the top of buildings or walls where ladders go through the top 10 feet, that really is a big problem on some sieges.
