but i did play the first four months of strat

just watch that video of giuseppe making hospitaller mad, they mention me in it because i was playing then

i just havent done anything else after like a few weeks in because i realized "wait this is not worth the effort, i quit"

i mean i dont give a fuck if i personally cant do much on strat, but i think that strat for most people has been more boring this strat than last strat, because things got harder

if strat were like it was in strat 4, i would be playing right now for sure

If there were say 100 more people that play strat on each side then this new thing they did would be fine. But the lack of players really makes this strat harder.

The only factions really affected in a negative way by these changes are the small factions. Big factions take a bit longer to be able to afford plate, but it is just a matter of time. Not a lot of time to be precise.

Small factions however will never be able to afford plates. Neither will they be able to afford proper cav (5 War horses maybe, but they have to last for ages)

Crime is more of a hassle for small factions. If a huge faction loses 100 troops to crime, fuck it, who cares? If a small faction loses 50 troops to crime it is half their army gone pretty much.


But I think a restart would drive even more people away now. Nearly no proper battles have happened yet, and start from scratch again? Would certainly put many people off.
The best thing for strat would be increasing the exp even further.
Because even after the recent increase of like 100% of the base exp etc you still get jack shit.
Make it so current battles give at least 1 mil exp, and proper battles give even more. 250k exp does not attract anybody anymore.
For all the non-believers, look no further than this thread for proof that while strat battles are won/lost in NA3/EU3, strat wars are won and lost on the forums.

That might make more people merc, but wouldnt make people create more battles and get involved again.

Whatever you do to Exp, Strat has always been a huge investment for small reward - but there was a decent balance in Strat 4 and most were happy to put the time in needed to get the full awesome battles we got. If a medium faction got flag capped on a full 1800 shiny army, they have more armies. In strat 5 if that happens then it's GG, cos that was your one 1800 shiny army. No room for trial-and-error, if you get fucked this strat you're out, cos it takes so fricking long to rebuild - and because we know there's a clear cut-off date for the strat to end.

Yeah, true that actually.

I guess we just have to accept that proper Strat is never going to happen this round. :|

Why don't you just post the truth; "I didn't play the first four months of strat right and now I need a restart so I don't look like a big stupid idiot."
You talking about posting the truth? Ironic.

I agree with Daruvian on this one, reset this round as I'd rather have everyone in plate than only a few in plate vs mail.

Keep crime, but get rid of everything else.  And make army cap dependent on renown.  That would increase battles fer sher.

Revert to strat 1 or 2 mechanics.  Also, while you are at it, remove  all Tydeus related changes in crpg.  And give eastern europe its own map so they can all be butt buddies together and alone.

I might have started very late, but oh my is this massive alliance fucking boring. The only reason they play is to farm XP. Give them their own map where they can abuse strategus, and earn as mich experience they want. No wonder the amount of people playing cRPG is thining out with this massive buttbuddy alliance, running about in their shiny armour attacking new people. I literally cannot point out any reason why the current strategus on EU at least, should continue. It'll eventually end up with the alliance getting the entire map and XP farming all day.

They could take the entire map in a matter of days now if they wanted, without anyone being able to do anything against it. It'll end up boring for them and already is boring for new players, that they can't get started without getting attacked by some dude for 800 crates.
