I would like to suggest that personal weapons in strategus bew added that you can carry into battle. For mercenaries they wuld be allowed or not allowed to carry personal weapons into the battle by the commander. Just like in crpg normal I think personal weapons should be allowed

Could you go into more depth? Do you think you should be able to spawn with your heirloomed items in a strat battle? Once? The entire battle?

A large part of strategus is buying proper equipment for your army. If everyone could spawn even once with their regular heirloomed items, this would cause a big problem for balance.

irl something shorted on the shuttle and laika overheated and died within a few hours of liftoff and for a brief while one could look up to the stars and see a light shooting across the sky that was actually a warm dog corpse slingshoting about the earth at thousands of miles per hour which was arguably humanity's greatest achievement so far

No.

In Strategus, the side with the best strategy and best equipment should win. Not the side with the most loom-owning players.

Furthermore, allowing us to bring in personal equipment presents a host of problems. If an enemy picks up your weapon and transfers it to a weapon rack, is it now theirs? Would this not be easily abusable for cheap loomed gear? I am a strat leader, why would I bother buying weapons for my armies when they can just bring their own?

well when strat first started ATS had this thing going where we could duel one another in clan to be the "hero" for battles.  Ecko would purchase the gear of your choice and you were essentially a commander at that point.  Nobody else was allowed to use this gear, and enough of it was purchased for this person to use it throughout the battle.  Of course everyone else had one normal gear, and the hero would be wearing his normal gear that he would wear in battle, so he stuck out.  This lead to alot of our members dueling to become ranked within the clan.  It made things interesting considering most of the time it was Goretooth in full black plated armor, with a bec, while all of ATS wore red chain mail. 

Regardless it was a cool idea and it made things interesting for us adding more depth to the game which others did not have.

Interesting idea but spawning all fight with loomed gear because you have looms in crpg makes strat harder on new players.

I think he's suggesting gear your char has in strategus, is gear you would be able to spawn with.  He doesn't mention his c-rpg looms anywhere...

Either way though, I think the answer should be no.
