Title: I dont get this att all
Post by: StonedSteel on February 05, 2013, 08:52:31 pm: I dont understand what to do, every action i do in strat just resets the page. I have 3k gold and 250 tickets, but i dont know how to use them, i go buy weapons, buy equipment, no matter what i do the screen just refreshes and nothing happens.

Move character to..i click a location, a line from my dot to the location appears...but nothing happens...i have been in the same spot since i started, near the same people since i started, i click attack so-an-so, nothing happens, fallow, nothing happens, trade nothing happens.

long story short, no matter what i do or click on nothing happened to changes, the screen just refreshes , and i am still at the same spot, still with no inventory, still with 100 troops, i increased my troops cap, it resets itself.

Lots of people say they enjoy strat but i dont get it, i started east of new yaragar with 3 other white dots ( people ) around me......2 weeks later after various attempts to do anything ( move to, attack, fallow, buy ANYTHING, etc ) i am STILL east of new yaragar 100 troops with the same 3 dots exactly in the same spot

i just dont get it

Title: Re: I dont get this att all
Post by: StonedSteel on February 05, 2013, 09:02:39 pm: I am east of new yaragar, fallow the river to the very last bridge...i am just left of that bridge, a river above me, mountain below, forests to my east\west. i cant move anywhere....even a small distance from where i am in ANY direction

i click move to and a line appears instantly...but i do not move. I guess i have to buy thing when i am at castles\towns? but how do i even get to one? the 3 dots near me must have the same problem, they have been in the same spot.

Post by: Joseph Porta on February 05, 2013, 09:10:34 pm: Try moving a bit land inwards and position yourself right infront of the bridge you want to cross.
This worked for me when i first joined. :)

Post by: Little Lord Lollipop on February 05, 2013, 09:11:11 pm: Try moving to spot nearby that paths away from the river. Wait a minute then go to your info tab on the left under Troops it should say what speed your traveling at.

As for buying weapons/trade goods you do have to be in a town to do that.

Yeah try moving southeast away from the river then cross the bridge in the middle of it. Forests and bridges slow down your movement so it'll take some time.

Post by: CrazyCracka420 on February 05, 2013, 09:37:52 pm: If you click on the INFO tab, and then on the left click "ZOOM" (ctrl+f if you're having troubles finding it on screen) it will show you a 50x50 pixel screen with your guy in the middle. I can guarantee if you're east of New Yaragar that you are stuck on the river, you need to move the opposite direction from the river.

And as Lollipop said, you can't buy any equipment unless you're in a fief, to do so, you'd click on "Weapons" tab when you're in a fief. And all equipment starts out at -2 quality (represented by 2 red down arrows in the top right of the item), each fief owner was able to make these to normal quality (no arrows up or down), or heirloom them (represented by 1, 2 or 3 green up arrows), but it cost them production points. So not all fiefs will have every item at normal quality (or masterworked).

If you have strategus ticks left: you should be able to set your troop cap to something higher than 100, and then it should recruit 1 troop an hour (at the cost of one strat tick).

I won't be around tonight, but most of our faction members in the Knights Hospitaller would be glad to pull you into a private channel and walk you through any strategus questions. I'm guessing most other factions are the same way and are more than willing to help new players. In game and in factions there's always going to be douche bags, but there are plenty of helpful people around too (in every faction that I've come across).

Post by: StonedSteel on February 05, 2013, 11:05:35 pm: Thanks for the replies.

So, i have 2 more troops then i did, and i understand i have to be at a town to buy.

Still having trouble moving...is movement in real time? i did just what you said, thanks for the pictures, but i am still not going anywhere.

i clicked info and zoom..the picture says "stuck.php."

http://strategus.c-rpg.net/stuck.php

So am i stuck? and how do i unstick myself?
Title: Re: I dont get this att all
Post by: StonedSteel on February 05, 2013, 11:09:59 pm: AHAH! Thx guys!

I just did the info zoom again, i have moved slightly. do i have to be logged onto the bowser to move? i log in and i have more money.

Edit* just looked again..i am moving towards the bridge..very very very slowly..but i am moving..thx!
Title: Re: I dont get this att all
Post by: CrazyCracka420 on February 05, 2013, 11:56:27 pm: You don't need to be logged in to move (you move really slow on the map as it is), as others said, terrain affects movement speed. Bridges/forests/hills slow you down (mountains are the worst)

Playing cRPG in public servers slowly gains you gold, or once you hit your troop cap every hour it uses a strategus tick and you get about 10 gold (but the more troops you have, the more it costs in upkeep, so you'll eventually start losing gold if you have a lot of troops)

And the "stuck" in the URL is just the name, it's to help you if you're "stuck" but it doesn't necessarily know that you're stuck.

And it doesn't actually do anything but if people are helpful it's nice to click the + at the top right of their post to show recognition :) Welcome to cRPG/strategus. If you don't get out now, it may be too late and it will become who you are.

Still having trouble moving...is movement in real time? i did just what you said, thanks for the pictures, but i am still not going anywhere.

The movement is real time, so when u click the "Move StonedSteel to..." button on the map and click where u want to move to, a line appers from where u are, to where u are moving to. Then if u click the info tab, the box in the top left corner will tell u your movement speed. and your travel time. the travel time is how long it takes for your dot to travel to the end of the line but the travel time is not that acurate because its calculated on your current movement speed and that changes based on the terrain/ quick march/ exhaustion/ gear/ troops/ horses etc. Also in the top left box on the info tab u can click "quick march" button which increases your movement speed for 300 minutes but then u are exhausted for alot longer exhaustion time changes depending on how many troops u have, quick march is good for running away or traveling through forests or over mountains. i'd try not to cross any mountains as u will probably get stuck, and u cant cross rivers without a bridge. if u have 1 or more horses for every troop u get a much better movement speed, obviously u need to be in a fief to buy horses and gear as CrazyCracka explained. hope this helps u, i cant think of anything else to tell u about moving right now. i would suggest joining a faction though as being a one man army on strategus is hard work and if u loose a battle u could be loosing weeks or even months of work.

Well, you could do a lot about it by not attacking in the first place, heh.

You can set "night-time" settings for up to 8 hours in the day that you cannot be at the battle.

Furthermore, the battle takes place 24 hours after you initiate the battle.

Well you didn't accept anyone to fight in your battle (unless only one guy was signed up) so the computer automatically picks someone who signed up to fight for you. That person apparently didn't show up to the battle.

In the future when you have a battle you will want to accept people to the roster (in strategus, click on the "battles" tab, then when you have a battle that hasn't happened, you can click on it and accept people to the roster).

Also, you're going to want weapons, even if they were unarmed you'd both be naked with no weapons. You're going to have a hard time winning that battle.

Furthermore, the person you were attacking was unarmed, if they had 0 crates on them, they likely had no goods on them. If you won the battle you would not have gained anything. The only thing you can get from winning a battle is some of the gear (that remained on the enemy after the battle) and some of the gear that was used by both sides during the battle. It's about a 75%-25% split for the winner (not 100% sure on that). You don't take any gold from the person you're fighting.

enjoy your EU vacation, to get back to the NA side of the map you need to head EAST through the side of the map and it will then be the WEST side of the NA map (once you make it through).

Just above the battle tab in strategus is a purple link that says "Showing EU" or Showing NA, click that to view the other map.

Ahah, there we go. yeah, i didnt setup up time right ( was still just messing around ) night time : 2:00 gmt 3 last for 3 hours

so...once i get my time setup correctly, next battle..if i attacked at 7.37 pm...the battle would be 7.37 pm the next day?

This is starting to make alot more sense, forgive me for my noobishness, i have just a few more probably stupid questions.

What about troops? i had thought originally i had 100 unarmed bots fighting with me, nope its just players that signed up for the battle, and the equipment you buy for troops is the equipment you can use in battle?

So, increasing my troop amount = increasing how many times i can die before battle ends?

This is getting interesting thanks for the help
Title: Re: I dont get this att all
Post by: StonedSteel on February 08, 2013, 01:47:00 am: Umm, i think i am in NA, it says viewing NA.

Iam about to cross a bridge, then go straight west, im pretty much right at Nova Uxkhal owned by FFC_9Finger_MB
Title: Re: I dont get this att all
Post by: CrazyCracka420 on February 08, 2013, 07:29:03 pm: If you have 200 troops, that is 200 times your side can die before losing. The other way you lose is your 10 or 12 flags (where your side spawns) gets captured and then everyone on your side is killed. Because you would no longer have anywhere to spawn.

A 100 vs 100 battle would probably only allow 20 or so people to sign up for each side. It will tell you that information (max players) when you have an upcoming battle. Also if the commander (the person who's avatar attacked or was being attacked) is signed up for the battle, you can have 1 more slot than it says.

again thx for all your help, but im not really into, just messing around\checking it out
Title: Re: I dont get this att all
Post by: Hoppster on February 12, 2013, 03:58:37 am: tbh its much more rewarding as part of a clan/ faction

Title: Re: I dont get this att all
Post by: WITCHCRAFT on February 17, 2013, 03:48:30 am: If you are not interested in moving your army in strategus, try signing up (under the Battles tab on c-rpg.net) for big fights where each team has 1000 or more troops. Especially when a village, castle, or city is being attacked. Install teamspeak even if you don't have a microphone, faction leaders will give out orders during the fight.

It is shockingly different from playing on the battle and siege servers. Really, give it a try. It's a lot of fun and that is what convinced me to put time into playing strategus. Once you get the hang of it, you don't spend more than 10 minutes a day moving your army around.

What you can do as well as attacking poor randoms is trading legitimately yourself. You'll also be armed hopefully so greedy folks will be deterred from attacking you...although trespassers and SD thieves will probably get hunted down.
