Strategus for dummies

[Jack1]

Either the battle had already been started or you have not made a hero yet.

How do you actually give your troop equipment?

How do you actually give your troop equipment?

you must be inside a fief to buy gear, and each fief can have unique loomed items.

[Mr.K.]

And all fiefs have all gear at -2 loom level (two red small v on the top right). Don't buy those, but buy loomed gear only. Most fiefs have discounted items as well to make them cheaper.

Quick tip, when you buy equip for an army, go with around 30% of each melee class and 10% ranged. It's a bit too much, but you usually have enough gear for everyone. For example if you have 200 tickets, make sure you have around 60 1H, 2H and Polearms and 180 heavy or medium armors.

I bought some shitty gear for my shitty troops and i was wandering how do i equip the shitty gear?

[W0LF]

You dont equip it onto troops. Once you are in a battle your mercs will be able to equip it themselves.

thank you

I don't get strategus.

1. Are troops bots or just human respawns?

2. What is equpment for and why is every party "unarmed" status?

3.  Why does it say I'm camping when I just clicked to move somewhere?

4.  How do you enter towns? I click enter town and nothing happens.

5. What are ticks?

1.2 In a large battle, if "troops" are really just player respawns, than can other players use my troops to respawn or just me?

1.3 Does equipment have to do with troops? For instance if I have 5 heraldic mails and I die 5 times with heraldic mail, than I have to buy more?

6. Just about every strategus window in crpg.net is like... off mybrowser window. So I basically can only see the left side of the map, left side of strategus shop, etc. How to fix this? I really want to buy one handed weapons but the 1h icon in shop isliterally off the browser screen.

Troops are tickets -> how many times players can spawn. For example if you have 50 tickets, 1 player can spawn 50 times. 50 players can spawn once. As long as at least one flag is up
2. What is equpment for and why is every party "unarmed" status?
You can buy weapons, armors, horses etc from fiefs and castles. you need strategus silver for it. you get silver if you buy goods from a fief X, move a long distance to fief Y, and sell them there (just a small and quick example)
3.  Why does it say I'm camping when I just clicked to move somewhere?
If you are in a fief/castle, which is under besiege, you can't move out or you are attacked.
4.  How do you enter towns? I click enter town and nothing happens.
This should work, unless town is under besiege
5. What are ticks?
Look 1.
1.2 In a large battle, if "troops" are really just player respawns, than can other players use my troops to respawn or just me?
You, all players who are in your roster. You hire players in 24 hours when you attack someone, or being attacked. You can hire players in "Battles" tab (this also requires there are players, who have applied for your battle)
1.3 Does equipment have to do with troops? For instance if I have 5 heraldic mails and I die 5 times with heraldic mail, than I have to buy more?
True
6. Just about every strategus window in crpg.net is like... off mybrowser window. So I basically can only see the left side of the map, left side of strategus shop, etc. How to fix this? I really want to buy one handed weapons but the 1h icon in shop isliterally off the browser screen.
Blame devs

Ok, thanks, that basically answered alot of my questions. But does anybody else have that browser issue? If not, what browser do you use? because its abviously broken on chrome. 

However, still a question or two:

1. Not in town (I don't think?) and I'm camping...

2. So is there even a difference between troops and ticks?

3. So if silver can only be made by selling stuff, why is my silver going up like 20 every hour?

there is a big difference. troops represent the amount of tickets(respawn) for a battle. Ticks you gain by playing on crpg battle or siege server( unshure about DTV).they are somehow needed for strat.

3. So if silver can only be made by selling stuff, why is my silver going up like 20 every hour?
Your ticks convert into troops or gold. So every hour you convert 2 ticks either into troops or gold. its like 5 gold per tick or something.

Firefox, Waterfox, Opera. Depens on what day is it I dont use chrome, so can't say about it
However, still a question or two:

Then i don't know what is wrong. Find Suno on the map, (ctrl+f), click the name above castle figure and then you will have two options on left top corner: attack (what we usually do) and enter (you can go inside and buy stuff there then)
2. So is there even a difference between troops and ticks?
hmm... tickets might mean how long you will get troops... not 100% sure of this
3. So if silver can only be made by selling stuff, why is my silver going up like 20 every hour?
You get automatically silver as long as your troop limit low enough. You have to pay for troop upkeep. Upkeep is higher when you have more troops.

[Doom_Carrot]

Ok, I understand ticks now.

And Opera fixed alot of my issues, thanks.

But how come I cant buy equipment? I type in how much of an item I want, scroll down, click buy, but my silver stays the same and my inventory page is completely blank.... Whats THAT issue now?

And I think I have almost decided to give up on world map travelling, I'll just fight as a mercenary in battles for fun I guess. The world map is broken and glitchy as phuck. I can't travel for more than 5 minutes and then I'm camping again for some reason... And I'm not gonna babysit the damn map for 12 hours to getto Tulga.

You gotta go into a town to buy weapons/armor. Make sure you check to see if they are loomed or not(if theres red arrows they are -2 or -1, if they have green pluses they are +1-3, if theresnone they are +0). Don't waste your hard earned silver on negative gear!

[Doom_Carrot]

Well, it doesn't really matter since I can't move.

I had hopes for this mod being really awesome and huge, especially after hearing it was one of the most played and atcive mods on the internet, and it is quite dissapointing to realize such an old and active mod is actually crippled by gamebreaking bugs and riddled with impossible mechanics. After reading many other posts on this forum I am beginning to realize that I am fortunate, even while experiencing a game-breaking bug; which I honestly find quite pathetic.
