JARLEK TO THE RESCUE!
how do I move from level 10?
There are no "levels" in strat. You fight with the character you have from cRPG and lvl up through cRPG. If you are talking about the number next to peoples names, that is the number of troops they have. If you are talking about ranks within a faction, that is for giving different people different choices within the faction. Don't remember for sure, but think it was rank 5 and above can manage battle rooster. Rank 10 or above can change ranks and kick people (give them rank 0). That's the ones I remember.
should i attack others at my level? and why or why not? and do I get their goods and equipment if I win ?
Again. There is no strategus "level". If you were talking about troops, then you shouldn't attack people with higher troops than you, unless you think you got much better gear or tactics than them. Also, you can't attack people if you got less than 30% of the troops they have. Although you really shouldn't attack people that got more than twice your numbers anyway. Bad military tactics xD (ofc, if you know they got no equipment or something, it might be a good idea
)
do I have to have equipment for all my troops ?
Yes, you have to buy equipment for all your troops. The only equipment you can use in strat battles is the equipment of the commander (the one attacking/defending). NOT cRPG equipment. Strat equipment only. Ofc, you don't need 1 2h AND pole AND 1h AND shield AND bow AND xbow for every soldier. If you know you're gonna have 10 2handers, 5 archers and 10 shielders, then buy only what you need. Although having some backup incase you lose more dudes of one type, might be handy. Also remember that you can pick up weapons from the battlefield (during the battle) but not armour.
About looting. Don't remember. It should be around here somewhere. I know for sure you get the equipment they didn't use, and I think you also gain x% of what they DID use, during the battle.
how many troops should I have to attatck a fief ? what other things ? what should u have ...how do u know how strong a fief is? or is there a screen I am missing?
Normal military theory says you should have 3x as many troops as the defender. This is a videogame, though, and neutral fiefs are gonna be defended by random players. The same ammount as the fief should be enough. Get a couple of more, just to be sure. Although the most important part is having better gear, organization and players. Especially the last part.
What you should have is gear for all your troops. 30% 1handers for your total troops, 30% 2hander, 30% polearms, 40% shields, 15% bows with 3 stacks of arrows each and 10% throwing. Crossbows are expensive and is up to you if you need them. Also armour for ALL your troops. Lighter armour for archers. Also, you can take siege equipment. Always have some ladders with you. You'll never know when you'll need them. Siege shields are also nice. c-site for healing tent/weapon rack/forward base/siege tower MIGHT be usefull but remember their high cost.
You can see how strong a fief is by clicking on it on the map. It should show you the number of troops/population and it's gold. The AI uses all the gold to buy equipment when the fief is attacked. You can't know the equipment for fiefs if they are controlled by a faction.
how do I get a capital city if I do win a fief?
You can set a capital from the action menu.
how do I get others to work for me ?
??? Are you talking about helping you out? Well, talk to them! Get friends to help you out, make a clan, create a warband, trade with other players. I doubt many people are gonna help you without gaining anything themselves, but do what you can. Be creative.
