[Christo]

we'll hold them back for the sequel

Holy crap it's the Sequels!

ODINVALHALLA strikes back, we're all doooomed!

Joking aside, very interesting changes, hope we'll see some of these soon.

how bout you start with the basics that need to be fixed.

Xbow require PD
No couch
Long spear abuse

will improve gameplay significantly.

Xbow require PD

In that case, xbow dmg should be lowered as PD highers the dmg as well. Xbow dmg shouldnt be higher than now anyway. But meh.

Xbow require PD

If anything, crossbows could use a wpf requirement.

Damn those sidearmers.

Making it skill-bound like Power Draw is totally against the concept of the weapon, Weapon Master based WPF makes a lot more sense.

I'm all for crossbows requiring something, so dedicated shooters don't get the heat from people complaining about all those missiles flying around.

I don't know, you said that

I'm confused.

Failed on my part, meant to say duel. On battle they are good because you can switch targets, come from behind, stuff I do all the time you know.

SPEEDING UP THE GAME. THANK - YOU !

all hail chadz, realiser of things that need thingumying.

except for one thing -- you're nerfing strategus econ aspect ? :/ that'd kinda suck ... the whole point of strategus is the economy ... if u nerf that its just gonna be standard noobfest running around in heavy armour as opposed to what it is atm where it's more economical to take light armour and think about your stuff ... nerf econ, nerf game

Yes, when used with the right approach agility builds are strong, like Moncho said. Still strength builds are a lot easier to do good with. In the hands of skilled players I think they are quite equal.

[Leshma]

Yeah, in battle. But on duel I have no solution for people who use str builds and are decent blockers. I've fought the same guy on two different chars, one was balanced char with pick, second was greatsword with 36/3 STF build. His first char lost 7:0 to me, second won 10 duels in a row (because I had to hit him 10 times to kill him which isn't so easy when enemy can block decently).

[Chasey]

Looks really promising, keep up the good work

[karasu]

Guess it's a good time to give it a try again, then.

4. Strategus
As seen in the last strategus patch, I'm trying to bring more and easier battles back into Strategus. I feel I've done an error with trying to shove economics into the gameplay so hard. They will stay a part of the game, but I intend them to be a bonus for clans and individual players, not the fundament like i tried before. Which was stupid. Micromanagement shouldn't be a necessity to play the game.

In the end, strategus is a game to fight epic battles, and that should be the main focus.

In 2 years finally i put + on chadz post

[Shemaforash]

Really nice changes here.
