Clan Competition Strategy Discussion

[Dionysus9]

Well like I said there is no doubt the big clans will all gravitate to tier 1. But that is okay, really, the fun is in the competition not just being rank 1 tier 1. Our little clan of 10 Shogun 2 players is neve going to be able to beat a 100+ member clan. But we've had to fight against them before as they wore moving up through our tier and it was a challenge to try and hold even a single province so that we could be #2 and move up with them.

Anyway, there is lots of fun to be had I think-- at least until we get locked into a tier we can't move up from. Right now we are in tier 4 and can still move up if we play our cards right.

If you and ichi go Hunter, that would make 12 of us. We'd be a shoe in for tier 3. Think about it Critt ;) you always have a place at Hunter castle:

you both are right.... the basic idea of teh clan thing is "good" but how its worked out is "bad"

imagine clans could host their own campaign and invite others and the clans can only fight the invited ones and only wins count with a few more well worked out rules u have something we created 7 years ago ourself...

Well, i want some real clancompetition, same we had with our own selfmade clancampaign.

Real movement-strategie, real challanges, where you can only attack maps next to your maps, where we can create allianzes and so on.
Right now the whole "competition" in this game is down to play more - gain more. You can lose 90% and still win.

Pointless, it has nothing to do with competition and people dont like it, as you can see everywhere. Its boring and has no long time fun.
The whole S2 game is a short term action, people get to lvl 10 and than suddently goes back to their previus game.

How do you create a clan?

To be honest,I like the idea,But I cant get stuck to it as I want to be.The clans you want to find,you cant find.And the ones that I join ,there's not much chat,there's nothing.The Clan UI is diffcult.

Maybe I'm not getting my head switched on,could someone help me out here,

Well back in the old days we would just set up a forum somewhere like EZBoard or Informe, and then we'd call ourselves a clan and go from there. But in order to take part in the in-game Clan Competition I think you have to create the clan in Steam. Our steam clan was created by Hunter TomisamaRW, so he would definitely know how to do it.

Tomi?

then you have to find clans,which takes hours!!!I wish they could put a search tab on

Well it looks like the strategy paid off-- we advanced into Tier 3 by hanging back in 3rd and 4th place until the last day and then pushing hard to gain as much land as possible. Now we're in Tier 3 and its got at least 1 clan with 100+ members so its going to be very difficult to advance to tier 2.

Well, actually, I have been thinking about this over the past couple of days.
Give me some time to put my thoughts into words and maybe we can get something like that going.

The best strategy on the clan campaine the way it is ,is not play it at all ,I just ignore it , before it starts i create with some other clan vets the GUILD OF CLANS on steam to unite as many clans as possible we got 155 members the first 2 weeks ,but still will not working as each clan has their own personal goals to achive for incoming real tournaments,then the time zones servers divition come up and the achivements are simple quantitavly .Maybe if in future CA let players to set their own parameters of the campaine ,territories , # of players , map location of the battles etc could be more usefull.

I can't remember what Tier us ELITES are on, I think it was 2 or 3.

Looks like CA botched something up and now they are rolling back the Clan Competition status to before the April 25th end of season -- so it looks like all our hard work to move up to tier 3 will be wasted. I guess we'll see. Ugh.

Hi All

We hit a couple of little snags with the Clan Competition servers last week, mainly with promotions and relegations. Thanks to the super-human reactions of the community, we were able to quickly identify these issues and have now fixed them.

The good news is you won't need to download anything - it's just a case of restarting the servers on our end.

You may notice the following effects once the servers have been restarted:

* We have reset the clan tier to the same status as the time before the Monday 25th update. Your clan influence points will not change from their current level and will continue to accumulate until the next update on Monday.

* The tier and gameworld you occupy will be rectified, and is therefore liable to change.

* Ownership of regions may change (influence points will not be lost but a new clan might have more influence than the previous owner).

This should happen sometime today. You might notice a tiny bit of downtime while we get things back up and running, but any interruptions will be short.

Thank you for your patience,
