I don't get why you would demonize attacking traders, unless you have an agreement to march two armies into the open field.

Maybe Acre's free trade policies have a lot to do with merc support.

Lol a handful of admins are afk too. Why don't they recruit active players. Players in MB, Acre, AoW, should have atleast one or two considering the amount of players within.

I like the dynamic of having all the EU immigrants.

I also like having the cross border trade.

The real problem with strat is that it's about grinding tickets more than it's about anything else. You can get by with an average trade set, you can get by with crap diplomacy IF you have a shit load of troop farmers. That's what the UIF have, a shit load troop farmers (and also an excellent trade set up).

If the system I offered up was in place the UIF would have a much hard time of it.

Oh so its EU fault Russians have the biggest player base in this community and leave their job to be able to grind ticks nonstop? If you split the strat maps everyone would go to the opposite side to where Russians and Poles are, I say set up a new Asian strat for Chinese and Russians.

ya reap what you sow buddy. Not NA's fault that the EU harvest has always been shit. Just cause you guys suck doesn't mean we NA'ers should be punished too.

Please explain how NA suffers from UIF taking EU over?

You get a couple more active players (EU immigrants)

That is about all I can think of.

This is a legitimate question I think we should all as a community consider and speak about openly before a move is made by the devs that could result in a lot of people being very pissed off.

About 2/3 of the EU map is owned by UIF. I don't want this to devolve into the same bitter discussions of their tactics, I just want people to consider the fact that the fighting in EU is legitimately coming to a short close. This has always resulted in wipes. NA strat is still highly divided amongst several clans with no official megablocks dominating the entire map. Feifs change hands and the possibility of battles has no predictable end. Now taking this to a logical conclusion would mean that the EU map (which comprises the majority of strat players) will be entirely dominated by a single group. There will be no battles left and accordingly the EU players would be looking for a wipe. This will be happening while the drama and wars and battles are in the midst of flourishing in the NA map.

Us NA players who are in a minority in regards to number of players as well as the favor of most of the devs (as far as I can tell) will, if the devs succumb to the desire for strat battles within the EU majority, have our entire strat session cut short during the prime moments of NA strat. Cut down in its prime.

I don't want this to happen. I don't think it is an issue which many of us have considered, but I do believe it is a legitimate concern for the future of strategus. So I ask, must both NA and EU strats be wiped when the battles run dry for our European friends?

Should not be wiped, because Strat on the EU map would be the exact same thing, because UIF would do the exact same thing as they have done so many times before. Therefore i don't see any reason to wipe EU strat, since it's not going to be any fun to play anyway, so i don't see why we should ruin the fun on NA strat, when there is no fun to be had on EU strat anyway. It would probably make more sense for the rest of the EU clans to fight in NA anyway, since they actually have better odds there, lol.

However, apparently the majority of EU prefers to complain about the deep pile of shit they are sitting in, rather than taking one step out of it.

A bigger fear is that all non druzhina/Grey Euro players quit or move to NA servers, giving the entire Euromap to the Slavs.  This Völkerwanderung could lead to Druzhina/Greys getting bored and invading NA which could mean all our petty fighting would have to stop and we would have an east vs west battle.  Their high ping might not be a problem for them as they would have oodles of silver, plenty of armies and a single purpose.

[Bryggan]

None of them want to, they hate high ping, it's even worse for them cos they're from Eastern Europe.

Also battle times, NA defenders have that advantage of having their nighttime etc, battles would be at rubbish times for EU but good times NA potentially, and even if they end up at a bad time NA, you'd have lots of EU support.

Ah good.  Now I can sleep at night without fear of an eastern barbarian invasion.
