This Strat Sucks ( bitter rant ahead )

[CrazyCracka420]

I think to make next strat better will be to make it closer to strat 4.  Vote for fiefs, lower gear costs, speed up movement even more than it is now.  When you quick march allow people to cool down sooner (like maybe 10 hours min, 15 hours max).  Remove night time settings, and give the Chinamen their own strat map (make it small like NA if you need to). 

I never understood why gold wasn't lootable on armies you defeat, it should be.

Also having some sort of end game rewards would be nice and encourage people to fight over fiefs (not everyone gets rewarded, only the top 1 or 2 factions, and it gets scaled down to how many people are in the faction).

implying there will be a strat 6

Very good post by OP, very valid points about weapon & equipment costs.  Strat really needs its own price adjustment, hopefully somewhat based on reality (cost & rarity of materials, labor involved in creation, etc).

No reason why spears & pikes should cost anywhere near as much as swords, etc

I say we just use simple, farmy strat mechanics next round. Simplify it to "X troops/gold" per hour for everyone, plus bonuses from controlled fiefs, with maybe a "loot" option when you capture a fief to suck out a bunch of gold short term instead of long term taxation/extra ticks.

Fuck trading its boring.

Fuck broken gear. Its annoying dealing with that shit all breaking after a fight. Either loomed or normal.

Just simplify it so we can have our nerdy battles without annoying mechanics. No one likes work, especially in a free mod with a bored population

What makes strat fun is everything except bullshit and logistical bullshit especially. Pretending to lead little medieval armies with unique heraldry and weapons with our fellow nerds is fun. Strategy--in the form of maneuver on the map and diplomacy is fun. Trade isn't. Jesus christ its the one thing that Civ and RTW automate.

How the fuck all the good clans team up just to dominate the whole strat.I don't get it.I mean i would always go with the team that has less players/losing/worst, just to see it win and get better and that's fun for me.What's fun about the merged shitlord clans druz/greyz and all of them just to dominate the whole map?Is it rly that fun for you to always win?

They're friends with each other and enjoy playing together. It's not really hard to understand.

They're friends with each other and enjoy playing together. It's not really hard to understand and you suck dick cuz you didn't get it KID.

So if friends lets make a merge with every clan/guy we are sub friends with to dominate the game?Is this how it works?

But this is the wrong forum that'd be inappropriate.

I hope next round the developers:

1. Lower equipment prices. I'm guessing they did this as an overreaction to all the plate battles at the end of last strat? There has to be a better solution to make plate more rare. How about instead of raising the price on everything make a curve with just the very highest end equipment expensive.

Also I think it'd be cool to have regional perma discounts on certain types of equipment to add to role playing and strategy. For example, all middle eastern style equipment starts 40% off in desert regions, Nordic style gear 40% off in snow regions, Asian and horse archer gear in the steppe, etc.

2. Clean up this forum. Years of time and effort spent making Strategus but can't be bothered to unsticky the out of date FAQ threads? There's probably been a lot of people who were interested in playing strat but couldn't even find the link.

3. If something isn't working, change it with a minor adjustment. It seemed pretty clear early on that cavalry as a class was removed from this round. Why not make an adjustment to horse prices instead of letting a big chunk of the player base slip away from disinterest?

Knute pretty much nailed the reasons I stopped playing this Strat in its first month.

lets stop this terrible strat round instead of letting it waddle on beleaguered by the worst mechanics ever

Horns' plan to make strat better:

Step 1: Accept the fact that strat sucks.
Step 2: Take off pants and watch netflix.

Guaranteed to make strat better 10/10.
