Old Strategus FAQ

[Turkhammer]

ah interesting, actually makes sense too, nice feature.

It doesn't really.  Each individual's exhaustion is not cumulative in a group.  If one person can recover in 5 hours, then 5 (or  100) people should be able to recover in one hour.

Its a lot easier for 1 guy to get some sleep and get up to moving at normal speed again.  A huge army ona  forced amrch has to reorganize itself after a long run, soldiers get minor injuries from forced marches (more of them, more likely some did), they outrun their supply chain and have tow ait longer for the water and food to get redistributed, etc. etc.  In many ways a forced march for a large force is definitely going to have a longer exhaustion than 1-2 guys.  So good and accurate feature.

Basically - dont quick march really large armies trying to outmaneuver someone, its going to cost you to try and force thosuands of soldiers to quickmarch/jog to a battle.

How much gold do you get from taking an npc village, castle or town?  Is there a normal amount for each type of location or does it vary depending on taxes/fees raised over time in that unique location?

Also, if you retreat as attacker during a battle, how much of your remaining equipment/troops do you lose?  Is it a certain percentage or just what you currently have equipped at the moment you retreat?

Recruit some troops

[De_Gothia]

I have 5 troops   

[Muki]

I have 5 troops   

weapon/armor ratio to troops is not even and 5 is still pretty small, I think it's around 10 or 15 you get lightly armed

ah and the armed thing means nothing btw from what I know

[De_Gothia]

Ok THX 
I buy some equipment,
and now: Equipment:lightly armed

[Bjarky]

the armed thing means how much stuff each troops is carrying on it self.
if u buy head/body/foot/hand armor u will notice that the kilo's will start to grow in the menu screen under equipment, weapons do the same, but armors are heavier, so they have the biggest influence.
the more heavy it is the more u will be either light armed/armed/heavy armed or shiny army.
so it basically says if u are well equipped or not.

each troop can carry 1 of each armor type and
2 weps/shields or 2x4 ammo/throwing.

Q: How do I start a raid

I don't want to attack a fief just raid it, or does it give me a option in the action menu?

Yeah you have to attack and then switch the attack type I believe.

Does this mean I can also raid cities? ( Anyone on Strat can confirm this? since I don't want to lose my troops to a useless battle)

You cannot raid Cities, Castles, or any AI fiefs.

[Jarlek]

You cannot raid Cities, Castles, or any AI fiefs.

...but you CAN raid towns and castles too, as long as they are player owned. It's only the AI who can't be raided.
