Guys when i command move  i move firstly it shows like its moving 1 min later my char isnt moving any ideas?Also i cant buy equipment too when i press buy equipment nothing happens

[Bjarky]

u can only buy stuff when inside a fief.
if u cant move u probably hit a barrier, check the zoom function http://strategus.c-rpg.net/stuck.php
and move to the opposit direction to get unstuck.

[Jedimaster]

So cant we move to dark blue areas?

[Bjarky]

nope. blue and black is a no no no

Anyone know if its better to sell your goods in a town or in a village? Does it matter?

[Bjarky]

only the movement range and goods price matters

Players control price, so You choose where to buy and where to sell. Everything else is determined by the people who own the fiefs.

So, for example Halmar(city) to Senuzgda castle is a decent route as you get 60% trade bonus and the goods price in the castle is very high.
Another one is Kedelke(village) to Tulga(city)

Theres many more, but these are ones I have already noticed as a trader.

Well i am new to strat. Had already some negative expirience dealing with big clans united in huge aliances. Was banished, killed, robbed and forced to begin all shit from zero! I tried to find some protection in other big clans but i quickly found out that they all are in huge aliance and insted to fight eachother thay just sitt there and attacking small factioms or single players. Kinda carebears. So after all I dont wanna join those big clanes - its not for me to be bot or servant, i have personal motivation in strategus - it's REVENGE !!!
But i need money for that so i decide to be a trader.

After all that shit i earned some money(playing DTV mostly ) Went in some little village, bought goods for all my money and go in long journey to faraway town to make some profit. One guy follow me as kinda guard - he has small army with light armors - wanna thank him(hope we will become friends)!
I have question - why you guys made journey sooooo long - it takes eternity to reach my final destination- besides my character had stucked few times in landscapes it all make me mad! I have few friends who could join strategus but that slowpoke gameplay will fear them i guess!

But i am guy with patience, so give me advice - should i buy horses to make movement much faster and how much horsies should i buy? What would be better to have small army with good equipment or big one with shitty equip to be trader to protect my caravan?

 As i mention that i will not join big clans but i still understand that to protect myself from agressions i need to have ppl who will apply for me in battle to fill roster(that feature made not friendly for newbies )Hope some of guys we used to play DTV will apply for me in such sitiation, but i still think this thing about rosters should be changed somehow to prevent from HUGE disadvantage for newbies when they forced to fight all those UIFs and other shit with super skilled players with 36lvl characters!

i would suggest to wait a little with the horses, u need alot of them to get the bonus
more than troops and goods.
for starters keep ur army small (100-150) so u at least are a bit faster than the bigger fella's.
once u get some cash in, start looking for fiefs wich have some loomed or discounted gear, u can see that by looking for weps wich dont have those red -2 tokens on them and go for cheaper medium gear first, so u can defend against them lightly armed bandits, u can always uprade later on once u are more expierenced with the game

Thanks Bjarky!
Then i still will be slowpoke!  

One more dummie question - what for strat ticks? I have 1500 already!
Cya on DTV, Bjarky!

P.S. To chadz and Co: FFS increase movement speed, add more dynamics in strategus!
