NA strat is about to be boned from the events of EU strat

[Chris_the_Animal]

Just wait and see what happens 
Maybe Greys will declare war on Kapikulu while DRZ is declaring war to Greys and Kapis thinking they will fight The North Block together with UIF ^^

It won't take long for diplomacy to shift around.  Just create penalties/bonuses for smaller factions.  NA strat is exactly as it should be.  There aren't any major mega blocks.  There are a few large clans ie Acre, AoW/GoW, LCO/Hospy.  But they aren't mega blocks like EU.  There are plenty of small factions like Black Company, Raven/Dracul, Super Friends etc etc which are just trying to survive.  Now some of those large factions are going to war and the map is splintering along diplomatic lines.

NA is fine.  A few big factions going to war allows the smaller guys to ally with whoever they want and make a difference.  Once a war is ended, they might have gained a fief or two, and then can once again choose who they ally with, whatever is in their best interest.  EU should just ban anyone who makes a mega clan for strat trolling.  They have enough players that they can lose a couple hundred or so.

If Acre gets too big and starts dominating, we'll rebel and find some underdog to help.  Gotta keep the game fun.

This seems to be the one of the two attitudes that are more prominent.
EU mostly being "If we are going to play, let's play to win"
NA mostly being "Fuck that. BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD"

They need to create penalties for faction size.  If you break up the factions it will create alternating diplomacy.  Look at the FCC.  Last year all those clans were tight.  They started strat 5 tight.  But then Acre started playing dirty.  They became worried LCO would attack.  So they created a coalition against LCO which included AoW.  Then a few weeks later they tried to pit LCO against AoW.  Because of it AoW attacked.  Now Acre is allied with LCO lol.

Acre will stab anyone in the back to survive and from my sources it seems to be worse than what happened with us and kutt. Funny enough though we have many enemies and few friends but I don't mind smacking the biggest faction on NA around a bit.

I offered developers the following http://forum.melee.org/strategus-issues/how-to-make-strategus-interesting-for-all/
I think this is the only way to do strategus interesting for all.
1. Small faction during the invasion have an opportunity to strengthen the economy and the army for protection from mega alliances
2. Players mega alliances protecting their fiefs will not sit on their butts for several months and die of boredom.

... We're only like 3 months into this strat and already EU players are being forced into the NA strat map because of the circumstances. I think this is going to get worse and as a Proud member of NA strategus, I think we oughta get together ahead of this curve before the entirety of NA strat faces the same dire consequences that have occurred in EU.

What are you proposing exactly? Establishing some kind of framework wherein NA clans would do what?

[KaMiKaZe_JoE]

I don't care about literally anything if the UIF decides to invade NA, prompting a glorious defensive war for the motherland, the steppes getting stained red with blood and my real life activities ceasing from XP addiction.

That won't happen tho so mod's ded

We have yet to start wars with anyone whereas you jump traders as often as you can. The people who work with me I will never turn against. Whereas you have already turned against us during this Strategus.

You guys need a war and I'm happy to start it with you. Stop being a 360 spam whore in plate.
