Strategus for dummies

[Knute]

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)

Do you lose anything for retreating or just the tickets/gear you had equipped?

Do you lose anything for retreating or just the tickets/gear you had equipped?

You can lose more stuff for retreating, it's random I think.

Basically you keep some stuff and you're happy. 

I am relatively sure you do not get the loss teleport thing that happens which is a big plus but it helps if you have somebody nearby to reinforce/counter-attack or else you can just be engaged again.

i have one question:
im attacked and have 64 ppls but dont have enough equipment. just few axes,swords and few armors maybe for 20 players...
so my question is can i buy equipment or its better not even to show up on server...... btw im not in town



thank you

[Aseplhood]

When you're attacked, you cannot buy anything.
Even though you've got equipment for 20 players, it's wiser to show up. You can pick up the weapons from the ground,
and you can cause the enemy to actually lose something. By not showing up, you automatically lose.

Ok so you can't send money to relatives anymore... So how do people do it?  Trade someone money in strat and hope he trades back the gold he says he will in crpg???

[CrazyCracka420]

I don't think that ever worked, some people sell strat gold for c-rpg gold...I'd be skeptical of that because you never know when they pull the plug on strat 3 and release version 4

[Bjarky]

strat will not stop before the last dev strat projects are done, meaning it will not be done for months 

Ok so you can't send money to relatives anymore... So how do people do it?  Trade someone money in strat and hope he trades back the gold he says he will in crpg???

Yes you have to trade with someone who you trust.

How many ticks can you stack up? If you'd play for 30 hours, than go on holiday for 30 days, can you craft/recruit the whole time?

[Bjarky]

not sure, but i guess u can only stack up for a week or 2, its worth a try though.

[zib0]

another question, coz i dont understand it well, for example i craft trading good ( albino chickens) for 13gold, in the village where i craft it i can sell it for 23 gold , i went far lands and in the village where i came i can craft trade good ( silver sth) for 3gold and sell it for 6 , so when i try sell that albino chickens they offer me only 6gold :O so where i should sell that chickens ?

[Bjarky]

farther away in a village that has a base 25g price, then plus distance bonus, tada, u get more gold.

[zib0]

so i need to search villages with it by traveling? ok, thanks for answer

[Lemmy_Winks]

i own a village, im inside it, but it seems i cannot craft or recruit, how do i do those two thigns. Also i somehow lost my army. I tried to transfer them to the village several times nothing happend. Then i set troop cap to 0 and i lost my 100 men, why?

[MarktpLatz]

It was announced in the strategus changelog:
If you set your troop cap higher that your current number of troups, it will recruit until you reach the cap (at least if you have enough strat ticks).
If you set the cap lower than your current amount, it will fire the troops which are exeeding the limit.

[Lemmy_Winks]

Ok well how do you craft stuff dont see how you can do that, im in a village. And i still cant seem to garrison troops.
