Strategus & DoubleXP

[Flancan]

Shh, don't say anything about double xp and chad will forget about it 

[Butan]

Is strategus going to start again in January as planned, or will it be delayed?

When will we have an announcement on the gameplay tweaks the new round 5 will have (fiefs distribution, faction/battle mechanisms, economy)?

[Kalp]

We're shutting down this round of strategus on sunday, and a new one will start somewhen in January.

Please drop suggestions what you want changed, keep it short and to the point though.

Transactions/trades made in last 24 hours in fief, visible for lord (owner) of fief in "Towncenter" tab.

No more invisible trade goods

Please hurry up with Strategus. Not sure is it because exams, but we're low on people lately. Lost one DTV server where 10 newcomers used to play on average. Now that's battle melee only server with even less regulars. Strat is shut down, which means more people should be on other games modes but they aren't playing at all. Battle is populated, siege less these days.

If it's not exams or something else, I would be worried. Especially since it's still double XP time. Don't want to know what will happen when you remove XP bonus.

Welcome to America.  We've been playing that way for months. 

I'd like to see it up again soon as well though.  And please do not remove double xp, ever.

Will there be the yearly ban wave  ? Not sure that would help the overall population, still better to get rid of those then of those who couldnt be arsed otherwise when they have to play against cheating cunts.

the HRE server was switched to melee only battle since nobody played on it anymore really

and i dont know about you, but when i came back a few days after new years eve and played i didnt get double exp on any server, neither on dtv, nor on eu2, nor on eu1, thats why i havent played recently
eu7 is constantly full (after a few times of trying to get in for 10 mins now i dont even try it anymore when i see its 30/30)
eu1/eu2 are fun for half an hour, then they tend to get a bit boring

so i definitely agree, strategus being back would bring crpg back to life, at least to some extent

a thing i just remembered from start of 4.0 and later on confirmed by those who didnt like "all the time plate" armies.

If you keep the system of economy nearly as it was in 4.0(which was a great step in comparison to 2.0/3.0) from my point of view. Then still i would suggest to trickle down the growth rate and change also the production points the fiefs start with.

starting production points
25 for cities instead of 0
50 for castles instead of 100(?)
70 for villages instead of 200

the daily increase of production points i would suggest like
cities 10 (or 8)
castles 5 (or 4)
villages 3 (or 2)

+Production Points investment changes

(click to show/hide)

perhaps also adjustment of how many PP you need to invest depending on village/castle/town
to outline the characters of these places.
village, faster progression for goods production, taxe in/decrease rather slowly, slow in gear, but horses/donkeys(base types?) faster progression
castles, keep it as it was
towns, faster gear progression for production point investemnt, when going towards selling prices better progression, ...
So the system would represent a little more the funtions of these places, while peopel can still do it complettly differntly, there would be but some effiecencies left behind. Either then having castles or towns as jack of all trades or getting towns as the center of gear production and castles better in taking taxmoney =) (Wegezoll?)...

also no more hidden goods bug, no sneaking by with stolen goods. Well it could be implemented as a feature  but should cost then something too.
