Split NA players from EU players.

[ArchonAlarion]

Multiple continents that force server for real world locations would be so COOL.

The continents should be similarly sized, but the terrain should be different.

If items required terrain specific resources to produce (wood-forests, metal-mountains, wool-pastureland, etc.), and the world map terrain translated to the battle terrain, then over time the continents would evolve different fighting styles.

My underwear is now sticky thinking about it.

Like, if the NA continent had lots of steppes and plains, then horseback combat would dominate; if EU had lots of forests and hills, then archery would take more precedence. This would be a general trend though, not a necessity.

I would support either a total split of NA/EU players or a map with two continents and players being able to choose where they spawn and the ability to sail between the continents. Like one person said, If your clan is half EU/NA you can settle in the coastal regions making it easier to support each other.  If you say your clan is going to be split up, then split up your clan into an EU section and an NA section. Leadership would have to be changed and leaders who want the best for their clan would choose this idea. Unless your the leader who wants total control they you would not support this idea.

EDIT: EU leaders who say their clans would be split: How many of your members are actually active and would split be from clan if there were 2 different strategus'?

I'm an NA player and I support this.  Why not make the map bigger and have 2 continents (add one to the west of Calradia).  Calradia can be for EU, the new one for NA (or vice versa).  Make it possible to reach the other's continent across the ocean but it should take a while.  That way if someone conquers all of 1 continent they can start an invasion.  Maybe make each continent only EU or only NA servers so people will naturally segregate.  If you want to hang around the other's area nothing will stop you; you will just have high ping (think of it as a home advantage )


The NA community is big enough to support this.  Right now most NA guilds are allied to combat the big EU guilds.  If a separate NA map was created, we could fight eachother.

Heck, you could even create a small Australian island somewhere in the middle

It'd be interesting to see how the world will react to an invader (greek vs persian style).

[JihadistMexican]

That would interesting. But lets hope no stinky frenchmen invade. That would be terrible.

+1 for sticky underwear

chadz ever posted his thoughts on this? id like to know if its a possibility ;{

[Cyclopsided]

Just saying, Eu always makes the argument of NA player base being small without realizing that they are very similar in number nowadays...
I'm all for a split. I don't want to have to fight on eu servers with over 200 ping. I went to try and duel there and my blocks won't work with that lag

[Matey]

not to mention that i dont have any grudges against any EU players... i dont really know any EU players. I have lots of NA players id love to kick around in strat though! but if its a big NA alliance and a big EU alliance... then theres no room for any smaller factions to duke it out without getting wiped off the map.

[tankmen]

i remember asking this on the old forums.... chadz says he enjoys the annoyance caused by NA/EU grouped together. IDK maybe his view changed, doubt it

[Warcat]

I wouldn't mind a bigger map (more room to conqueror) and even choosing where to start. But I don't want a split between NA and EU. I like they way it is where defenders determine the server. You can find people who will fight when the battle is, or in the case of Fallen, always have people in a timezone that can play. NA and EU factions choosing to group up in areas together may not be a bad idea though.

[Kenji]

From all the discussion I'm seeing, I prefer the split continent idea.

But enable the trades between the continents through sea? So that cities with ports will have its unique value, thus adding more variety towards Strategus gameplay.

Of course... One step at a time, there's no need to add more stress onto the devs as they already have a lot in their hands, I believe.

Maybe they have mortgages and kids to take care of, which I could understand.

[Gheritarish le Loki]

I'm against a splitt cause it will splitt the community, NA and EU will not share anything.

EU will not make a big alliance, many Eu clans are at war each others.
I never understood why Na clan make a big alliance, they were scared by something, but Eu never attacked them because of bad ping.
Only LLKJ had the bollock to go by themself.

[JihadistMexican]

The community is already split.  If the community was together in arms we would be playing in EU servers and having a blast no matter the ping. But were not are we? We have NA servers cause we don't want to play with 200+ ping.
I don't really care about Euros. Most of them aren't even on when I'm awake lol.  If their asleep and I'm awake we can't really have fun playing together. I think the community is just fine. And relating to what Brunch said, I don't think Euros have much of a community as they did before.  I would like the idea of making a poll of how many NA/EU players there are now who are active and how many of them would participate in Strat.
