Changing a start without asking the scenario community good job pleasing the competitive community i guess
Edit:Based on a lot of feedback from the community, and discussions in the forums (mainly here, but other posts also), we've decided to implement two strategy changes. Here are the details:
Yes i am sure that 50% of the people that posted there are forum stalkers that never played the game

It would have been nice to consult the scenario community before radically altering LB for the entirety of the game.
The massive upkeep increase basicly makes the strategy very unattractive, if anything, the crit should have been reduced by 2. Would have much rather seen a buff to RA and other weak strategies than axing a popular strategy.

When i first started playing this game, i thought the strats countered eachother... like LB is best to played vs XX.
Wouldnt that be nice to have strategies not by hierarchically ranked but all at the same level and have a counter to each other.

Very necessary patch, and I'm glad as hell that you're showing a willingness to balance the meta. Feels weird coming to this game knowing the admin is active now.
What I now believe is necessary is collecting quantitative data and establishing an official tierlist so future patches can be implemented accordingly once meta(s) have been solved.

I can't speak to the LB nerfs considering that I rarely used LB before (I despise LB for its crit mechanics) but the overall concept does seem frustrating as it leads to encouraging only a few strats to be viable in most environments.
Imp (and sometimes PD) are often the only viable strats on most scenario maps and ive seen LB become more niche in countering those strats in some maps, but I fear that then this will restrict the scenario community to only being able to use imp due to the lack of money in a lot of these scenarios (in particular works by Aetius and Pyrrhus as well as others).

Making a strategy unpopular that has been spammed everywhere is fine. People can get around to learning different ones now.
Besides critical hits are cancerous in a game where luck dependent mechanism like rolls and turnblocks are already determining the outcome of some games.

As usual the majority of the community has their voice unheard.
LB now generally unplayable in most scenarios thanks to this update. Why continually nerf strats until we are left with a bland set of strategies to pick from that no one likes.
There is A lot of the strats u can use in rp.
Those changes are legit due to this equation :
LB is killing competitive cause everyone using it all the time > change the strat will only have a small impact on rp
Lol RP? classic ignorance of retard competitive branding maps that dont use default as 'rp'. Ignorance is not bliss.

why u doing that change with only taking care about classic world map or classic 3v3 …

Dave can you look into Relentless Attack strategy, i made a topic about it not long ago. It was called Tank General before and it buffed main attack units, now it is just closer to Blitzkrieg than offensive strategy. It would be nice to have simple offensive strategy for scenarios (cavalry, chariots, artillery, tanks, anything)

These changes were being discussed in the forums going back almost a year, before I was even here. So in all honesty you can't say you weren't "consulted", when you had plenty of opportunity to make your case in the forums.

Both sides are partly right.
1. Scenario community is the largest playerbase, yet the most silent.
2. CW/3v3 community is the smallest, yet most vocal.
Therefore you did right to listen the >majority of voices< and act, but that also mean majority of playerbase is disatisfied with the changes.
It is never good to lean only to one side, for any reasons. Balance is the key. Compromise. Try to balance between two sides.

Well for starters, many people who play the game don't actively visit the forums. The people who frequent forums are almost a demography of their own.
The problem is the fact that many strategies are just worthless and the few strategies that are viable for most maps should not be reduced upon. I think that getting rid of the extra upkeep for militia for LB could be enough to make the strategy viable. Although I will have to do more testing to see if that is sufficient.
Furthermore I'd like to bring up the idea of having mapmakers create custom strategies for their maps, this way there is even more variety in strategies without risking harm the competitive scene meta.

Get real i've played a SHIT TON of scenarios and in almost all of them, imperialist is the best strat BAR NONE. It just happen that Lb was so broken that sometimes it was better than imp.

There is A lot of the strats u can use in rp.
Those changes are legit due to this equation :
LB is killing competitive cause everyone using it all the time > change the strat will only have a small impact on rp
1.- whitout lb the only strats left for competitive are pd and imp. If gc gw sm nc and blitz are low use and are only usefull for ukrania or to do specific moves(like nc uk) you will never compare the times people play pd or imp whit the other strats.
2.- rp no longer exist in atwar, it is rarely played now, you just cant name any other map except boring default europe "rp". This hurt hard the scenario community(i am part of it) and i can say lb is not over used(imp is) but is a very good option to try if you boring of imp or want to do specific moves, now it is useless for almost everything, other maps like ancient world or default world use lb a lot too, but at least they have many good strats to pick, other ramdom maps that are up sometimes (like shogunate, rome politicial, colonial age, world in xxxx) use lb too.
3.- And this is to the lb nerf, i am disagreed whit the +10 for militia, the upkeep will be very high for this and the mil is not used at all majority of games, it is already annoying to have militia in many places doing nathing but costing you money, i doubt somebody will spam lb militia as a meta so this just ruin strat to much in my opinion.
4.- Now that lb is ruined, you can bring back some strats to a usefull way, strats like hw (totally useless and never played except for trolling) ra and blitz(mainly used for noobs/low ranks/new players and blitz for very specific moves but still useless) mos (this is a good strat but low used, i think because it is an expensive strat so people dont find it good for competitive or low starting funds maps, maybe a small buff can
introduce this strat:D)
Everything you said in point #1 is so wrong i'm not even gonna bother debunking it.

In all honesty, I have a feeling its like always talking to a wall when it comes down to talking to the scenario community about stuff like this.
How do you expect to balance a strategy based on maps/scenarios? Every goddamn scenario/map is different, from pre-set countries with shitton of income to poor as fuck regions. It still remains a fact that Europe is still the most balanced map of this game and strategies should be balanced based on this map.
And saying you are the majority and that most of your people don't look at forums isn't really an argument lol. We get that you guys want to be recognized as the other community and have a say in stuff like this, but how do you see that happen? People who barely have played any strategies besides PD or IMP, telling what strategies should be dealt with? It sounds delusional.

I agree with Dave completely. If you make no objections your silence can be taken as a agreement. Although a suggestion I have for further strategy updates, would be a poll created by Dave that would appeal to the community at a whole.
I think the general consensuses between the community that updates would be limited, but as Dave has stepped up and became our Dev this will change.

Greetings & Salutations,
Since i have not been on for the last year until last month, December, I never knew there was a discussion to modify the Strats, that is until today. So where is the best place to state my objections? I don't really care to drag this particular thread on any longer than necessary. New thread?
Respectfully,

Good to see the Lucky Bastard change. Making it more expensive is exactly what it needed. I am glad you didn't take away its unique critical chance.
Although a lot of other players have already mentioned this I wanted to put my 2 cents in as well, the Desert Storm nerf does nothing.
Glad to know that you're listening to the community I feel like its really been lifting player morale lately.

To resolve the concept of people complaining about appeasing the majority and who that majority is, may i suggest that the mods, admins and supporters make the suggestions for strat changes and put them forward in a well advertised poll?
That way we know for a fact what the active community wants. And if you dont vote... you cant conplain.

Agreed on both counts. For my part, the Inf nerf is as it should be, but the +10 Militia cost is brutal because they automatically appear when you conquer a city. Having stack after stack of 4 maintenance cost each instead of 3, over which you have no control over those units appearing...
