I'm sorry to ask this, but I'm new, and can't seem to find the info anywhere. Can somebody tell me where I can find out info about getting involved in Stragegus? I'm very interested, but don't know the basics, or where to start.

Is joining a clan the only way to get started?

Is joining a clan the only way to get started?

When i first time enter strat i have same question: wtf why i should join clan. No way!:)
And you know, i made my own clan with my own baNNER,  clan tag , ppl joined me and i am happy. But in strategus i joined not clan but faction its different. So i kept my clan in cRPG, and all related my clan shit!
    This is very democratic faction that respect your freedom of choice and speech. You have no commanders or leaders. You are leader yourself! We have basic rules according with global politics. Cause we are fighting in strat against carebear alliances, huge clanes who turn ppl into "bots" ruled ppl like puppets, put them in slavery! We fight for all small calns and factions who dont wanna participate in this monopolic shit. Fight for freedom. We have same rights in our faction, noone can order u what to do, u decide by yourself. Thats the way game should be. But ppl are ppl. They unite in huge alliance, closed their borders(and closed their minds) and sitting there earning huge amount of equipment to wipe out neutrals, newbies, small clans, small factions and break fun for ppl.

 Our faction is kind union of small clans, neutral ppl, random guys we are welcome newbies let them participate not only in strat but in battles too, cause this game made for fun for everyone no matter his skills or knowleges about strat mexchanic and other shit.
 This game should be more democratic! And UDNWSFLC is first attempt to make strategus friendly for everyone, not just for bunch of nerds!

Well, I guess that leaves me out of Strategus, then. I don't feel like I know enough about it to make a decision about joining a clan or faction, so if that's the only way to learn more, then I don't think blindly joining a clan is the right move for me. Too bad; Strategus looks like fun.

Try to avoid big clans. They will rape you (even if you are neutral or friendly).

You don't need to join a clan for strategus but it's good to get to know people in clans so you can trade in their territories and have them sign up for you when you get attacked.  Also, just moving around the map and learning the trade system is a little confusing at first so it helps to know people who can fill you in on that as well. 

The last version of strategus was the first one I played and for the first 6 months I ran around as an independent trader on the EU side of the map.  Then for the second half I joined a clan on the NA side.  Both were fun in different ways, when you're playing as an independent trader you have to contact clans for permission a lot since they control every village and sometimes don't allow visitors in their territory.  Then being in a clan had it's perks too since it made it possible to accomplish things that one person couldn't do alone plus it was fun to capture and control territory.

I'd say start as an independent, read the diplomacy forum so you can learn about the different wars and alliances then maybe join a clan if there's one that looks interesting.

how do i join strategus battles

[Haboe]

I assume all big factions made one of these themselves, but for the smaller factions PP costs might be a bit of a hassle still.

So let me share my info for the beginners in strat:

visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Correct me if there are mistakes there, ut it should all be correct
