First I know this is on the wrong thread; I haven't posted here before so I guess that limits me to the Entrance Hall.
Second I am a member of a clan, HM, with a dozen active players in VI. Many of the names here I recognise so hi all.
There is an active thread elsewhere called Clans have ruined game. I disagree. It accuses Bears and RTK particularly. Not Fair.
1> Standard Florin issue: 10k is standard in VI; 15k in MTW. There are good reasons for this. Both standards have been found by gameplay and active discussion to be as balanced as possible.
High Florin games tend to make infantry all powerful.
Low florin games can be dominated by cavalry.
As a matter of interest I do host, and play non standard florin games. Myself I like 2.5k per army 4v4 as a very crazy and funny game.
2> Map issue: 'steppes is boring'. Yes it is if u play it all the time. However the mappack games are increasingly common and worthy of attention. The HM's as a clan will also host hill games; flatinland,desert and mappack games. I have seen both Bears and RTK do the same.
No question that if u are hosting an open vanilla game where all are welcome you will likely host steppes06 high.
Peeps turn up for that game.
In a lobby empty of players u know and play regularly u try hosting a mappack game gl...
3> 'clans ruin game' No sorry wont wash. Clans have made multiplayer a fun place. Imagine if we ONLY had 1v1 tourneys? No fun heh?
I have played in games with players I dont know. Once I made a flank attack and was doupled. My 'ally' sat there...I am sure otheres have similiar story. Thats why we play with peeps we know and trust well... guess we call them clans.. funny that.
