Strategus for dummies

[Jarlek]

In a village can I only craft trade goods?

Do I have to go to a town/castle to craft equipment?

You can craft what you got crafting skill in anywhere. The only difference between villages, castles and towns is the crafting efficiency.

Then my strat suggestion of the day is to make towns/castles more valuable by making crafting equipment only possible in themXD

one little question...
how do you pay your troops?
is it 1 gold per troop every day or what?

That depends how far over the 49 troop limit you are.

[Latrinenkobold]

well... lets say i have 100 troops how much will they cost?

Damn. I don't remember the formula. Check chadz "strategus changelog". You can have 49 troops without paying them btw, and 100 troops is not that much gold upkeep every day.

1) How do u join a fief, what is it, how do u create it?

2) When you attack someone who is "moving", will you face him in  the game or only web? Can I attack if its only me vs someone, say also 1 player with little gold?

Thanks..

1. You have to be right on top of a fief to enter it. So after you click a fief, a "enter fief" link should be on the left side. When you click it your character starts moving to the fief and will enter it when close enough.

2. Same with entering a fief, you have to be touching a guy on the map to be able to attack them. And you can attack anyone as long as your troop count is above 1/3 of theirs.

Exhaustion time is based on troop size, iirc

chadz, can we get a formula for this please? Preferably a full explanation on the OP in case there's anything about quick march I don't know of either. Apparently, exhaustion gets passed with troops, but now I'm curious if the speed boost does as well? I've always been 300 mins quick march and 600 mins exhaustion

[Bjarky]

the speed bonus stays the same (300min), only exhaustion changes.
lowest exhaustion i noticed is 480min.

I have a question. Let say one of my clan member are attacking a poor peasant. My clan has 49 men and they have 0. Then if "they" troops amount got increase from 0 to 149. How do I do that?

One more question, what do i press to retreat in a battle? (When the battle has started?)

For the first: It's called reinforcing. Attackers have 2 hours after battle is started while defenders have until 19 hours before the battle(and on a  normal battle that's 4 hours) to reinforce. You just walk right up to the person needing reinforcing and you just transfer troops and equip to them.

For retreat, you have to be ranked 8 or greater on strat and press the button combination Q-M-R-S(S for Yes)

Ranked 8 or higher or it has to be your battle for retreating.
