Old Strategus FAQ

[Draggon]

Thanks very much for posting this Shik!  Our faction is bran new to cRPG & Strategus, so naturally we've had a ton of questions that haven't been easy to find the answers for.  Appreciate you putting this together man.

A few questions....

How do I enter a fief? How do I apply to join a faction?
Will recruiting and working be apparent when i enter a fief?

When you travel to a fief and get close enough, it'll say on the left, "You are in the vicinity of <insert fief>".  If you click on that link, you'll then have the option near the bottom to "Enter <fief name>".

Then at the top where it says, "Your Character Page", click on that and you'll see the options to "Earn Money, Recruit Soldiers," etc.

To join a Faction, get near one of the senior members, like almost right on top of them.  Click their name on the left where it says, "You spot the part of <whoever>".  Then at the bottom click on "Join Faction."

...another VERY basic question, lol... old Hirlok never played in Strat before...

The time battles are scheduled - is that c-rpg time or local time???

Just asking because in the battle list there are several that should be over for hours already according to c-rpg time... and of course I do not want to miss my first strat battle...

In order to see the correct Battle times under your "Battle" tab on c-rpg.net, go to your "Settings" tab and make sure your Timezone difference is right.

so battle times are shown in my local time, right? Timezone (-6) is correct. Just was confused because the time my char page shows in the upper left is c-rpg time, not my local time. Thanks!

Q: How do I gain strategus gold?
A: Currently, you can gain strategus gold by working inside of settlements or by playing cRPG.

....hmmmm.... so dem bloody villages charge me 100 per hour and I make 3 per hour... does not exactly work out into "gaining" gold...  Or did I miss the point of the "earn money" option?

Yeah try to avoid those if you're only working for gold.  The high-gold cost villages are that way because they usually have 90%+ recruitment chance.  If you're just trying to grind gold though, hit up the villages that are around 5g per hour cost, with higher chances to earn gold.  Takes a little hunting to find what you want sometimes.  And also be careful because not everyone is happy to have visitors in their villages.  If they ask you to leave or if they kick you out, don't go back or you'll probably get attacked. 

[Blondin]

Don't earn gold in village, go in a caste or a town for that.
Villages are good for recruiting, castles are mixed, towns are good for gold.

[Elindor]

diggles, i agree - transfer log would be clutch.  so you could see transfers that you made and that were made to you.

[Wraist]

Let's say you lose, what happens if you go to battle and lose, and what happens if you don't go to the battle and lose that way?

[Polobow]

What about sieges? Do you automatically gain construction material piles or do you have to let everyon spawn with construction material?

[Lichen]

Are all the settlements in white color not owned by anyone? Also if you are attacked but no players join your side do you get bots at least?

[Digglez]

do you have to actively renew your task, recruiting troops or earning gold, every 24 hours?

I was told this by former clan mates but didnt seem to notice it myself.
