Strategus weirdness

[Arathian]

So, this has happened enough times to the point where I need to ask about it.

Every time I sign up for a "attack vs npc castle" I get accepted by the NPC castle only to get de-accepted 2 hours before the battle, and after I had fixed my schedule so I can attend said battle.

Any reason for that? I am level 30, so it can't be my level.

iirc Things like reliability and performance factor into it, too. So someone more "reliable" signed up and took your spot.

well, fuck. I guess the joke battles with Panos hurt me in the end :/

is there a way to reset these things?

edit: also, getting accepted and then dropped 1 hour before the battle is mightily stupid, unless the other guy is REALLY better than you,

Pretty much this. At 10 reliability I was getting hired at level 3, but now I'm down to 9 and can't get hired at 25+.

Also, it takes into account if you are actively playing in crpg before the battle.

damn it...

will the strategus reset reset these too?

Hmm. I've NEVER had problems getting hired and taken off roster.

I've had reliabilty from 6-10 and performance between 2-8.(currently I'm R: 10, P: 7). Just sign up for a few small battles, show up, get your performance up to like 8 and WAH LA!

What's Your stats? It takes reliablity and performance from your last 10-12 battles(i think, can't remember the exact quote on it).

Are you sure about this?

[Lt_Anders]

That was never a factor. Playing crpg before battle had NOTHING to do about getting hired.

It won't matter. There won't be any more AI fiefs. In the first 8 hours after the Strat wipe players and clans will vote for certain fiefs and those with most votes will take over them. Maybe there will be AI field battles though, no idea.

You get a good reliability by showing up for player battles, they gotta accept you.
