Fief Number Poll

[RD_Professor]

Fairly self-explanatory poll. Several have noted that decreasing the number of fiefs might increase the action during next strategus. Especially for NA, which is currently lacking in players, this might pay off well. Thoughts?

[Tristan_of_Erzoth]

only have dhirim, emirin, and derchios on the map. We all take turns sieging the worst castle to attack and the worst city to attack until we all hate the mod enough to quit the game

Can there be an option for "Put NA and EU on the same map"?

Or is that too different?

IMO the end result is the same, higher player density per fief.

This would be the best but I am fine with just removing the desert for from both maps. It is far to easy to trade there which makes it superior to any other place.

It's a interesting idea, but I think that because of time zone differences, ping differences, and the work needed to change the code to implement it, putting both on same map isn't a viable option.

If it is possible check older files, if they are saved somewhere, as EU and NA were on one map back in ze days

well if you reduce the fiefs it will be more shity. Little guys gonna die. Only 2 ally blob fighting is already boring

Then we need to destroy these blobs.
In my opinion there shouldnt be alliances between 2 big factions. If you want to defend yourselves, you can ask others for sure, but when someone goes like "FULL ALLIANCE! WE WILL RULE THE WORLD!" Then the rest will do the same and its gonna be shit...

[Chris_the_Animal]

Roster mechanics make this very difficult to do.

Noone said Roster Support is forbidden ;)

But at the least combining EU and NA if possible, would create different rivalries and feuds rather than the same ones every year

Cool idea, but what about the usual Ping Problems? Alliances between NA and EU Factions - big thumbs up!

[Beleg]

Na and Eu was on the same map before strat 4. and it was just fine. I've played in some Na sieges lately and ping isn't that much of an issue.

[Viscount]

We should just leave how Strategus is.
To many people will soon complain about being EU and NA late ass times if the map formed.
some people will even try being
The fiefs are also all well connected and nice for traveling around. I assume its fine and everyone has thought of it fine and never complained about it really.
Yes you should reduce fiefs only if you make pp's slower and less.
Gear 3x the price or 4x.
goods sell for less.
We don't want everyone with tincan again.
missed the old days where everyone wore light ass gear since tincan was expensive.

2 big blobs fighting each other is the nature of Strat. Roster agreements tend to be harshest diplomatical insults in this game, so if you are rostering with X, you better do everything else with X. What would fix slightly help on this is fixing psuedonyms IMO. Then at least you can smuggle in people and "sorta" have a bigger roster with secret deals.

Reducing fief amount qill only reduce loomed gear and amount of silver.

U need to make a faction member cap to avoid those stupid big meta blocks.

[Mr.K.]

Reducing fief amount qill only reduce loomed gear and amount of silver.

Which is a good thing... Forces people to make good use of their points and makes controlling villages actually important, especially early game.

[Larvae]

Thats true,but avoiding those blocks is for me also important - smaller factions = more fun - less expensive gear.
