What does maximum of 2 points from cavalry mean? Does that mean there's a restriction on the horses themselves or the unit's whole point cost?

You actually managed to make a faction worse than both of mine, congrats.

You must see the inner beauty of it. You are probably just looking from the wrong angle atm.

I think it should have been maximum of 2 points from horses. So either 1 heavy horse class or 2 light horse classes.

- Stratia -

RP Intro:
"After the fall of ancient Stratia and our long and perilous journey, we set foot on these new lands. Calradia, the locals call it, a continent ridden by conflicts and war, pious squabbles and family feuds. We, the last remnants of glorious Stratia, look upon the horizon and ask ourselves… can we shape this place into our new home?

Stratia, oh Stratia, when I think back to your gleaming rivers and golden fields, to your deep forests and rich meadows, to your sprawling cities and looming towers, I sometimes begin to doubt. I need to take a breath and look upon my brothers and sisters, and I wonder: will the memory of old glory be enough? Enough for them to get up and fight to survive in a land that is not their home? Enough for us to not lose hope nor heart? To shape our part of history in these lands?

When I look upon them, the last Remnants of Stratia, and I see them take up their weapons, saddle their horses, fasten their armor and helmets, when I see them look at me with fire in their eyes, when their war cry fills the air, and they charge fearless upon ranks and ranks of enemies - I have my answer!“
- From the Chronicles of Stratia

Faction Concept:
The warriors of Stratia have a long history of irregular warfare. Originally deployed to the field as elite hoplite units, their torn history since the Doom of Stratia has forced them to constantly adapt to different circumstances. Their roots as hoplites still show, although some of them have abandoned their shields in favor of longer spears and pikes. Most moved away from formational warfare altogether and prefer to fight in small squads.

Predominant among these squads are the so called "Operators", veteran warriors that combine 1 handed and 2 handed weapons with crossbows and arbalests. These men are feared throughout the known lands, as they are able to release a deadly volley of bolts to break up enemy lines before they devastate them in melee.

During early campaigns in the steppes and tundra, the Stratians have recognized the value of mounted combat. Since then they are able to field a strong component of medium to heavy cavalry that will strike at the right opportunity to break up formations or engage opposing cavalry to free up the backs of their brethren on foot.

Brotherhood is key among the various Stratian descendants and after the bloody work of their shock troops is done, many a story is shared around the campfires - and the Mascots keep the mood light, for the next battle is surely to come.

A lot of people have been wondering what happened to this and whether or not their effort is simply going to go to waste. Unfortunately, I don't have the best news, but it's not hopeless. Originally, we decided to run this as a test because we had the old EU server for a few extra weeks. Now that those servers are gone, we no longer have a good place to host this game mode. Due to the fact that a dedicated server running this game mode can only accommodate a handful of players, it doesn't make economical sense to continue officially hosting this. On the plus side, anyone can host a server with this game mode.

In the event that we can find someone willing to pay for/host a server running this game mode, not only will these custom factions be playable, but further development can also resume where it left off. Sorry to anyone who feels like they wasted their time contributing, that was not my intention. But like you, I too put a fair bit of time into this.

Could you tell us which custom factions that was chosen to be playable?

Right now we could only accept 6 designs, if we get a server up with an active player base, it could be expanded in a way that would allow us to have an infinite number of factions. But until then, we really had to be selective with faction types/designs.

Here's what was selected:

Landsknecht
The Company of Outcasts
Ard-Ghalan Horde
Tihr Free Company
The Legion
Nord-based faction (name still tbd)

All factions were changed one way or another, none were implemented 1:1, some were changed more than others. The Nord-based faction takes a little from each of the Nord faction proposals in this thread.

Necro because this thread is golden and some of the factions have been added to DTV. If we made some more, is there a chance that they are considered to be added to DTV, or are there already too many waves?
