Dead AI rosters

[cup457]

I feel like most people sign up for strat battles in the hour before the battle starts. This means that the AI who accepts people on the hour or whatever is not reactive enough to sign people up. If the AI accepted people 10 minutes before a battle the AI will have much better chance and battles will be more fun.

I thought of a really bad idea on my drive home tonight.

Forcibly, and without consent change NA_1 to NA_3 with the entire population of NA1 on the AI side. Somehow.

Make it so.

AI should pay silver to defenders that show up, AI fiefs get taken early enough that even a small silver payout would give strategus nerds a reason to sign for the AI.

Tier 1: Village Defense 250s
Tier 2: Castle Defense 500s
Tier 3: City Defense 1000s

Something a little higher like Tier 1: 1k gold, Tier 2 2K and Tier 3 5K would get ppl insane and sign up, otherwise its just too low when you already start to make trade run

Bring back the days of strat 1 where everyone was paid in crpg gold not strat silver!

+ paid on activity

but not sure if it will work, most ppl too bored with defending neutral fiefs. And me as well, very shit bows in defence.

cup, the AI can update the roster 10 minutes before if the battle is at x:10 

But it is true that this system is inferior to one that would do his last update a few minutes before the actual battle starts, instead of using hourly update.



Most AI stuff have already been taken to date, when its human players's fiefs getting attacked you can bet your ass there will be a defense (especially castles/cities), so this problem will grow less and less with time. Also it could be argued that it gives some small time factions a chance to grab a fief easily, might be why this system never changed. Or just pure lazyness, when you look at overall strategus mechanics which almost didnt change for the last couple years.

Its been acting glitchy.  Ive seen it repeatedly happen where people apply in last 30 to 50 minutes and not get hired this round.  Oftentimes with earlier battles that is just when they get home from work.  AI should have one last hire 5 minutes before battle, no reason not to.

Yeah this happened to me last night with one of the castle defenses. I applied about 45min before hand on the AI side to no avail, I got lucky the attackers hired me instead with 5min to go.

[cup457]

Yes i noticed for certain battles there were people signed up that said they only signed up for attackers because it was in the last 10-20 minutes and they just want the xp

Bring back ALL THINE HARD WORK HAS PAID OFF!

for?

Another solution might be to take away the roster from AI side and make it open for everyone . So whoever joins the server can play on AI side(Untill the cap is reached ofc..)  if they did not apply for the player side.Also make automatic announces on the EU1 or NA1 saying "There is a strategus battle starting, feel free to join and defend! "
something like that.

[Vovka]

the only solution is to give the management strategus to new people who may and want spend their time and energy to its development . The only solution for the players - just accept that nothing will change
