Suggestion for the clans

It seems like the GA and also other clans get really powerful because they can have up to 6-7 people in their clan!! Maybe just 3-4 would be a better number.. And then you can always ally clans and stuff.. Well.. Maybe 4-5 but you get the point...

I like the idea of smaller clans. If we had 100 players, large clans wouldn't be so bad, but when we strugle to get above 30, a clan of 6 - 7 players can basicly be 25% of the game. They either have to break up, or pound lower warbands, making life miserable for them. In addition, it's easy for them to kill other people. People have a hard time getting into posistion to take them down, since all the land and resorces goes into them, and never comes out. I'd limit it to 4 based on a 30 player member base, raise it 1 for every 10 more members. (40 players, 5 player clans. 50 players, 6 player clans. And so on and so forth.)

Usually the only server I play in a clan is in Valhall's strategy server. I usually run in a 3 man clan and I will pit them against any 10 man clan in the game. Small clans rock.

The only time larger is better is in an F5 bashing marathon or in the extremely rare case of an AngelZ type clan. If people want coding changes to make clan size smaler then that's fine. But when people really learn to play as a clan they probably won't want to be in a large clan anyway.

By Angelz I guess you mean a top-flight clan that grabs the top 10? We had something like that called ROME.

I like the idea of smaller clans. This makes coordinating easier and doesn't allow there to be one overpowering clan that dominates the top ten. Also encourages quality over quantity, so that you don't just allow whoever wants to join into your clan.

About the quality part.. I agree! I mean some of the players in my clan (NO OFFENCE!!) including me... aren't very good but just becuz we have a lot of people we can just take down anyone.. Even Ruddertail who is one of the top 5 players!!

He was the Emp at the time I think.
Well we all attacked him (about 5 of us) and killed him in one run.
It was no chalange after we busted you.

For kills it helps but then again getting killed is usually a sign that someone thinks you are better than they are. That's why I almost never kill other people.

If someone kills you take it as a compliment. It's not hard to restart an empire and I have seen many good players make a top 10 finish in a 130 empire server one run with their new empire after being killed with their old one.

They were a QMT clan that dominated for a long, long time. I'll try and dig up a link to QMT history for you. Any time in the last few years or Nov 2004 for the most dominating set QMT has ever seen. I think they even had one set that was the entire server vrs the AngelZ. They no longer play there but a few of their members can be found at various servers.

Yes, you took me down because you killed me. I doubt you could have brought me down if you hadn't killed, but only taken me to 2k.

It appears QMT is down and may be down for quite some time. Here's my memory of the top 10 (sorry, don't remember empire #'s)

1: Admin
2: We Are
3: A
4: N
5: G
6: E
7: L
8: Z
9: @
10: #

First ranked was obivously unclanned since it was the admin account, the rest were all in AngelZ. Only 1 clan had an empire make the top 15 that set.

ROME rocked!

But Loren always wins in the end.

Considering that ROME ultimately fell to a worthy adversary: itself.

Post by **Devari** » Tue Jun 07, 2005 6:32 am

Heck yeah. Loren was nothing compared to ROME, and whatever credit wolf took for the downfall is mostly FUD. ROME died because of infighting (ooh, classic "blame Beatles" crap) and fractures within.
