I've found the forum's search feature a bit inconvenient, and my favorites list a bit cluttered, so I've decided to gather the major racial strategy threads in one place. Maybe do more, but only one task at a time. In order found in manual... Formatting and completeness will come when they come. For now, it's a matter of finding the easy stuff first, then searching.

Good collection!

You might want to break it out by Nation and Age though. For example Early Ermor and Late Ermor don't have almost anything in common.

(p.s. also the first Ermor post in your list appears to be about the jotenheim)

Very nice. Thanks very much for compiling this list. The search engine is a bit tedious for this sort of thing. I wish someone would do a more thorough LA Pan though. Maybe I'll have to do it myself.

Thanks for the comments, Ballbarian, Lingchih, Gandalf Parker (everybody look out, its the NSA!), Velusion, and Tichy.

Velusion - Eventually. If I'm actually to finish this, I'll have to minimize the organization I do while I scrounge up threads. I'll section-ify-ize them after I've gone three forum pages without anything Nation-y jump out at me.

Lingchih - I'll let you know if I find any thorough Pan threads. I'm not done panning through the river of words just yet. Though if you start a Pan guide, or aggressively discuss them, I'll happily give it a place of mention at the top of the first post.

I added some Shinuyama. Hmm... I'll probably be adding to this thread on a daily basis, thanks to a job thats usually exceedingly slow until 6, then goes to hell in a hurry. Though it isn't always that predictable.

Saulot
July 1st, 2007, 04:01 PM
If I may make a quick suggestion Lazy_Perfectionist; It makes for a cleaner thread if you added all the new strategy threads in the first post, instead of adding a new post for each new one.

Maybe under a 'New:' section, in case people check back and want to see which one's they haven't seen before. With the newest ones appearing at the top or bottom of the list, and after a month or so being shuffled from the new list to the standard list.

A question to the moderators, it is possible to sticky this very useful post as asked before?

Gandalf Parker
July 3rd, 2007, 11:46 AM
A) its not a good idea to sticky a thread based on good intentions. Its better to have it prove itself as being maintainable before stickying it (this one does seem to have reached that point but not when the request was first made)

B) its not a good idea to have too many stickies so making a sticky can mean losing one

C) because of B it can be better if one of the other stickies (such as the FAQ sticky) brings a thread into its thread by linking to it

Another update, a small one this time. Two threads, one Agartha, one Atlantis. Later, I will be working on combing generally interesting, non-nation specific strategy threads, from old-age to Wight Lords.

Request: If there's a racial strategy thread I missed, please bring it to my attention. If you make a new strategy thread, please bring it to my attention. I'm a bit flexible, but I'll generally add it to my list if it hit two pages long.

What I'd really like is if you'd actively look for any really educational After Action Reports, and bring them to my attention. My searches won't be touching on the AAR forum, but I've seen some really interesting reads there.

Perhaps the lead post in this thread could be edited to list ALL of the nations making it clear not only which ones have guides but which ones do not. It might spur some people to do one on their favorite nations.

Personally, Im always drawn to the underdog. I love digging into the overlooked features of this game to try and come up with a reason for it to be there. Im much more interested in knowing what the most overlooked nation is.

The Strategy Index is about to get an overhaul in the near future.

Lazy Perfectionist has been inactive on the forums for some time and thus the Index has not been updated in a fair while. Valerius has taken an interest in it and asked me if we could do something and currently the plan is that he will recompile the Strategy Index using this thread as a basis and post a new thread with a link to this one. Once that is done, the thread will be unstickied and his thread will be stickied.

It might be worthwhile to retain this thread as the Strategy Index Discussion Thread much the same way the FAQ and Bug Shortlist are sticky threads and both have their own discussion threads. Helps keep things organized and uncluttered.

The precise timing of this coming overhaul has not been set, so it will happen in its own good time. For my part, I would just like to say that it is nice to see new people volunteering and stepping up to keep projects alive that have been suffering neglect due to the original person going temporarily MIA. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

All right, the new Strategy Index thread has been stickified and this one is thus relegated to the status of a discussion thread. I locked the sticky thread to prevent inadvertent posting in there.

Valerius, you should be able to edit your post there, since it's yours. If you can't, PM me or let me know here and I'll unlock it. I'm not sure if non-moderators can edit their own posts in locked threads. If they can't, I'll reopen the thread and any out of place comments that belong in this thread will be oppressed and their contents quoted here.

The sticky strategy index thread has been split into separate posts because the character limit per post is 10k characters and the index was nearly twice that, which meant it could not be edited. I have updated the link to this thread as well as some of the reference links to my own stuff, site searching threads and some other threads at the top of the list. The link to the HINNOM EATS EVERYTHING thread has also been updated, as well as those threads I noticed on the first few pages of the forum.

The editing restrictions on the forum also pose something of a major problem wrt maintaining the strategy index in its current form, since Valerius is not a mod and cannot edit his posts anymore after 30 minutes. So I and the other moderators must maintain the strategy index as a joint effort and also update the links to reflect the new forum format. I would REALLY appreciate it if one of the others took a larger role with the strategy index, as I have my work cut out for me just putting the bug shortlist back in shape.

Anyone who wishes to help with the strat index should use the search function to find the threads and then post an updated, formatted link in this thread so that we can simply replace it in the sticky thread. The number of links to go through is massive and finding them all is going to be fairly time-consuming if only one person is going to do it.

Edi
August 12th, 2008, 12:48 PM
I'm going to use this evening to try and update the strategy index sticky, after which I will delete excess posts from it. I have a fair few threads known alredy, but due to the nature of the board's autolog-off, I'll be working on a text file for the time being. I will also fix the tags to use BB code, instead of HTML.

Please be patient. Restoring the Strategy index is currently the top priority for this forum, followed by the bug shortlist and modding wishes shortlist.

August 12th, 2008, 04:27 PM
All Strategy Index links except one have been updated. The single link that has not been updated is marked as such and the reason is that it only had three letter words in the title, which means the search function won't find them because they are too short. If someone finds the "Any Man Advice" thread on the forum, kindly post the link here so it can be added.

I also added several new threads to the index that I found during my digging for the listed threads. Those are marked as new threads on August 12th.

I did that with several threads, but it kept giving me flaky results or no results at all, so I lost interest in checking for things if I couldn't find them with some other keywords. That one was the only one I didn't eventually find. It took four and a half hours to find everything in any case.

Yes, I have. Both the bug shortlist and the modding wishes shortlist are next up for rehabilitation. It looks like the forum conversion just converted straight HTML and didn't do a good job of it either. So it probably needs a manual edit to add the list and color tags. The color tags are easy, they can be done with a straight find and replace, but I need to look at the list item issues first.

I'll do the unresolved sections first and then fix the resolved sections at a more leisurely pace. I just gave the strategy index a more immediate priority because it is widely used by almost everyone in the community. The FAQ formatting is on the list of things to do once the shortlists are good.

Edi
August 13th, 2008, 03:37 AM
Good news on the bug shortlist: It's going to be a simple find & replace operation to fix it, since the only thing that did not transfer well was the beginning list tag. Those and color tags are just find and replace stuff, but we need a new color scheme so things are visible on this forum. I'll think one up.

lch
August 13th, 2008, 05:20 AM
It looks like the forum conversion just converted straight HTML and didn't do a good job of it either.
That might be because the old forum software just placed HTML in some cases, or similar unusual constructs. Quotes got replaced by a combination of two or three tags which carried the visual representation on screen, for example, instead one sensible tag like the forum does now, which is only replaced in the rendering step of the page.

That you convert all the broken links by hand, yeah, crazy, I wouldn't lift a finger unless it can be done in a unified way with all the links simultaneously. Hopefully searching for text with quotation marks helps you a bit.

Yes, I did do everything by hand for the Strategy Index and the FAQ. As I said, I got flaky results with the strings in quotes. The individual shortlist entry links I'm not going to bother with because many of the threads are hard to find. They were not named in the links by thread title, as was the case with the strategy index. The index was important enough to go to the trouble, as was the FAQ. Cleaning up the shortlists will be a piece of cake to do by comparison.

Edi asked that I post this link here for possible inclusion in the strat index: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=39469&highlight=lies+rulebook+told

Link is to the manual errata thread I posted a while back, should be useful for newer players.

Sorry about being such a slowpoke about adding that, but it's there now, Micah. I also added Gregstrom's Beginner's Guyide to Lanka.

Remember people, if something needs to be added to the Strategy Index, post about it here and the mods will see to it.

It may be worth trying if the index fits in one post, so Valerius can once more take the whole thing in hand.

After the fifth person labeled my prophet transformation breakdown as helpful, I decided to label the thread as a Guide. Enjoy the hard work of Edi and I.

Edi, thanks for keeping the index updated. I'd be happy to take it over again if you think it makes sense.

It looks like the maximum characters per post if 25,000 so if we put all the links in one post we'll be able to add about 50% more links before reaching the character limit. Let me know if you think it worthwhile to do this.

Certainly it's worthwhile. I and all of the other mods would be most grateful to you if you took over it again. I'll go and put everything in the top post again and then let you have a free run of it.

As a suggestion, having the new tags be bolded will make them a bit more visible.

Great, thanks! Just added some links Tifone sent over. I'll follow your suggestion of bolding new tags.

That's a little hard to do since you didn't highlight which of the links are new. Previously, there was a notice about the date when new links were added, there's nothing like this now.

All of the nation guides have "new" labels. The character limit prevented me from putting labels on each of the strategy threads so I grouped them together. Edi then moved these threads to a second post to free space on the first.

If you want to edit the second post there's a "new" label under both the Strategy & Tactics and Spells & Magic Items sections. Everything beneath these labels to the end of that section is new.

Max, your guide to Ashdod has been added.

Excuse me, I can't look. :doh: I used the "First" link on this thread, thinking that this takes me to the Strategy Index, but it's only Lazy_Perfectionist's ancient one, not yours. I'll edit that one right now and let it point right to yours instead.

Lots of new guides recently (including a virtual library from Baalz) that deserve inclusion...

Could you add the new Hinnom guide (relevant, since it is based on actual and not pre-nerfed Hinnom). Here is a link:

There are a few new guides that need to be added, stuff like MA Oceania, TC and Man, and EA Marverni.
