Strategus for dummies

[krakkur]

hmm.. havent been so into stragus,
but how can i upgrade my weapons? and buying them is only possible in big castles? (Reyvaden)

[Bjarky]

there is no upgrade system in strat.
you can buy weps in all fiefs, it just depends on what the owner changed them into, wether they have a few loomed weps or not.
i recommend that u ask your clan mates (HRE) about this stuff, since they own alot of fiefs and can help you out with all the info you need

I've been googling around but can't find the answer to my question: How does xp get doled out in strat? Is it a per minute thing or is it given only at the end according to how well you did or what exactly?

Kinda: It's Every 3 minutes, roughly.(IE if there was no fighting, you'd be at a x3 without anything with gear bonus, you get a x20)

So it's the same as battle? I thought strat gave more xp.

Read what Anders wrote one more time.

mayeb i havent seent the thread yet?!?

but how do i upgrade and produce weapons...
like
i buy 100 scimitars in a town
how do they become +1 +2 +3...???

the same with the other items...

[kinngrimm]

when someone took a fief, he then will be able as lord of that fief to increase loom levels from -2 to upto +3. Anyone visting that fief, will be able to buy those items then there.

A new mechanic is said to be introduced, which will alow you by having f.e. a +2 item, to sacrifice/merge several(2-3?) lower loom level items to create another +2 item.

same with creating +1,+3, +0 items, no idear though if you could use -2 gear to craft +3 gear and if you need a different amount then to invest.

you are accepted when in battle sellection it says that you are accepted( coloure green) if you apply for some factions and not AI than you most likel have to come to their teamspeak or mummble or wahtever theya re using ( ussualy info can be found in battle griefing),as for time you can set time in settings (very top of the page)

Thanks, I got it to work... just showed up at the right time, cool stuff but we lost (outnumbered by 70 and 5 or 6 mercs), also I just joined a clan/faction how do I apply that to my strat char so that it changes my color on the map?  I assume that will make it safer for me to travel but who knows...

better before you apply, get in touch with the leaders of that faction you intend to join. Best to know them somewhat already through cRPG playing.

Faction membership then will secure you a roster to some extent, still when you join a faction, there are often hierachies, a few factions but do it complettly democratic, like a band of friends. To see which is what you would need to build realtions and ask a lot of questions and also to the extent these are answered you will already see the way things work there and if that would be to your liking.

An admin or OP should definitely add an [OUTDATED] tag to the title.

How come when I try to join a Stategus battle there is no apply button when I click on the battle
