Strat 4 Announcement

[BattalGazi]

• No more neutral fiefs - players can do a hidden vote for a fief owner in the first 8h of the game. Being in a fief gives you a boost to your votes. You only have those initial 8h to reach a fief, though. So factions will have split up areas, which should increase the tension.

Smells fishy

strat sux

[[ptx]]

Fishy as heck. And this is supposed to happen now, in August?

[Miwiw]

No more chadz text? YAY

[chadz]

Not fishy. More like the ultimate betting game. Bet too high and you waste votes, bet too low and you waste votes as well. Better train your poker skills

[[ptx]]

oh, wow, that'll be dramatic as fuck

[karasu]

I knew there was a reason to see Kinngriimm on the servers again.

As long as you find ways to prevent hacks and unfair competition, whatever method is fine by this community dude. I hope you are aware of the fact that people are craving for a fair base for strat which is against "dark magic".

when

We need to know exact date to spend all our troops & gold in pre-wipe blood bath 

[Turboflex]

One thing is do we want small armies?

49 vs 49 battles are kinda annoying, to roll call for them 30 mins before when battle only lasts like 10 mins. I agree the 1500 armies are too much, maybe drop battle times down to 60 mins max, so 1000 will become new max, but IMO the floor should be raised also, maybe to 200 troops before upkeep kicks in?


That beginning with no neutral fiefs sounds like it's gonna be a clusterfuck lol. I dunno how well it's gonna work, but if nothing else it should be very amusing.

Over the last few weeks the Dev and Beta testers have worked on and come up with the following Strat 4 Plan.  We are publishing the summary here for your comments and discussion so enjoy

• No more neutral fiefs - players can do a hidden vote for a fief owner in the first 8h of the game. Being in a fief gives you a boost to your votes. You only have those initial 8h to reach a fief, though. So factions will have split up areas, which should increase the tension.
• Fief Corruption for empires that grow too large, but done in a way such that faction splitting does not give you an advantage.  Corruption can still be overcome for organised factions that want to expand.

   
 

You worked those times for this shit ? Bravo chadz like i said on irc

This is shit and gratz you made more stupid decisions than putting heavy micromanagement ; Even like now its better than this.

[17:25] == Cicero was kicked from #mount&blade-crpg by Q [Banned.]

Bravo =) Whatever we will totally see that u will understand how stupid idea of this ; btw fire that idiot who gave this idea to you.

Probably not a UIF member who wants to make it harder for strong factions lol

Some clarification from IRC:

Every player gets one vote that they can put on some player owning some fief. That means that factions have to choose how many votes to spend on which fiefs, with a risk of wasting them, if someone bids more votes for the fief, but also with the risk of overbidding.

This'll be fun

This'll also cause a shitton of tears thanks to it being such a gamble - some people will bet better and get more for fewer votes than the others.

I 100% endorse all the extra drama!

[MarktpLatz]

Will we be able to raid these "fief points" or are they simply removed when you raid a fief?

[chadz]

Simply removed.
