secondary char for strat?

[Osiris]

will it be possible to have a second char for the next strat? Main + Secondary. obviously there will need to be some rules. IE not stf cannot be changed unless deleted and started from scratch etc.

I know it will give some clans massivly more power but it would be nice to have a bandit char running around with nothing to do with templars Maybe not allowed in the same ladder but then that presents all kinds of problems now im just rambling with hope that someone can think of a way to make it non abusable

How would it matter if someone have one or two characters anyway as EVERYONE can have two ? It wouldn't change the clan vs clan balance in the slightest as everyone would have two (if he or she can spare such amount of time playing).

Limiting faction wouldn't work anyway as people would just create vassal faction that help main faction, so allow both characters to join where they want.

How to limit STF ? Easy, just make it that deleted character is deleted from strategus and new one spawn in random place and have to move toward you clan territory (or introduce some kind of leveling in strategus that make people think before deleting char). Or make that new characters have some starting disease (10% spoting distance and 10% movement speed in first 24h).

well i wouldnt make a secondary char to use in my clan that would be silly thats why im thinking about how to limit it a little

Why not leave it to the people, you want to aid some minor faction, fine. Some people would like to aid their factions. I might aid HRE for example.

It would indeed be fun if you could switch between two characters just to get some variation in strat battles.

The easiest solution to this is not to have a secondary, but the possibility to change your main.
Let it cost 50.000 to change it with a cooldown of 7 days or something. No STF allowed ofc.

The characters will just switch places on the strat map, keeping whatever items, gold, troops etc you have.
That is, all strat data will be shared by all characters for each crpg account.

Does this suggestion include, moving on the Strategus map and crafting or only Strategus battles? If it was only Strategus Battles I really would be up for it.

Problem is, most people would take two builds:

a) a melee build, 2h/pole or shield
b) an Archer

We would end up with a certain choice of classes depending on the map. If it is useful to go with many archers in a battle, that will be possible then. I would be up for it for the sake of some variation as said before.

I don't know if this would work in a good way though. Often I feel that only my main character is worth to play due to Strategus, that is why I even now change my build to whatever I like in a moment even on gen 16.

Even more ghost chars for Druzhina/Greys?

Hell no.

This.

If you read my post you would realize this would be possible without causing any harm by people exploiting it by choosing class by map/situation.
Just have a cooldown by switching character and it's solved. You can add a cost as well but it isn't necessary.
You could also subtract experience from a character as a penelty for not sticking to one character, like -10% experience.

Still dun see a reason why we need this.

[Malaclypse]

I'd say yeah, if this is only for Strategus battles, with any payment going towards our main character who is actually on the Strategus map, along with performance/reliability stats still being tied to that same character, then I see no reason why not to have this. I for one would appreciate the chance to use my archer alt in some battles without having to respec or retire my main.

[CrazyCracka420]

As Cleveland would say...

NO no no no noooo!

[Lech]

Hell no.

Not really, rather less ghost chars for us and drz. If you don't know why, think a little bit or ask me. So yeah, you fail hard.

But not a seperate toon. Would open a can of worms so large even Greysploitatio would look insignificant.

Staight off the bat active players could support 2 full time goods crafters, so large active clans like Hospitaller would have a HUGE advantage over everyone else, one I think you could easily call game breaking and unfair.

You turn a fief into a goods production house stick 20 toons in it, half in the clan, half out double you crafting % chance and shit out tons and tons of goods creating a shitnami of cash that would just drown everyone in the udershit... The horror, the horror. Wait... Yeah go ahead, 2 thumbs up.

I can't support 2 strat characters atm. I hardly can support one. It wouldn't make big clans any stronger than they are, as they would have equal chances as currently (assuming percentage of very active players) or even less power than currently (as some players would play secondary character outside clan).
