Old Strategus FAQ

is explained in OP

How do the autowin victories occur? 

For example if you move across map with no troops and someone attacks you.  Are you then instantly teleported or does it take 24h to lose?  Are attackers locked in place at all?

[Knute]

Can I have more than one trade good at a time? 

e.g.  My unpaid interns transporting 40 buckets of bull milk from Fisdnar to Praven stop in Sargoth to craft another good before continuing on their way.



If I click on "attack", does it bring up info about the person's nighttime and a definite time/day for the battle with the option to back out if there's not a convenient time?

There are no autowin victories, unless someone attacks you with much less troops, in which case it is an auto lose for the attacker, the defender can never autolose. All other rules apply.
Therefore it is probably better to have  a caravan with many troops so that way fewer people can actually engage you.

You can defend with 300 against 10,000, but you cannot attack.

You cannot carry more than one trade good at a time.

You should already see their night time if you can see the option to "attack." There is an option to cancel if you make a mistake.

so your saying if someone has 0 troops attacker still waits 24 hours to move again?

[Jarlek]

If I remember correctly, if you got 0 troops you gain 1 troop to defend yourself. So they still have to wait the 24 hours and fight.

Question?: the ability to travel across the water requires a boat? will boats become available only after capturing a coastal town? will owned fiefs or castles be able to make boats? and finally, how many troops/equipment/goods will fit on a boat, and how fast is it?

Dream on    You simply can't go across water including rivers. Roads does not exist.  It would be great to see these things though...

Maybe it'll be something like this:  You can buy one or two types of boats in towns.  Expensive boats get a movement speed of 250 at sea and 0 on rivers/everything else.  Cheaper boats get 150 speed on rivers, 50 at sea and 0 on everything else.  Sea battles take place on boat to boat maps like in the 1257 AD mod.

Q: What is the time limit on the transfer window? Why does it say my transaction failed?
A: The time limit is the time of the battle minus 19 hours. For example, if you attacked at 1:00 AM on Friday, and the battle is at 1:00 AM on Saturday, then you have up until Friday 6:00 AM to transfer troops and gold. If the battle is at 2:00 AM on Saturday, then you have until Friday, 7:00 AM

this seems to be out of date when it comes to attackers, wich only seem to have 2 hours to reinforce.
for defenders it's still the same.
