Strategus update: weight, trading, spotting

[mandible/splinteryourjaw]

If I have 50 Men, 50 Horses, and 50 Crates, will I go 85% speed or 180%? Or something in between?

+1

Also would you consider putting a freeze on all attacks/battles for 24 hours (or even 12) to give people time to get in a fief, make a plan  or buy what they need???  I'm looking at a RuCnquista guy right now with 0 troops, unarmed, and 20 crates : )

What is the difference between lightly armed and armed...I thought I was heavily armed, but it says lightly???  Is it based on gear or weight???  Thanks

Thanks for the update

There was a bug, should be fixed now. If you still have some stuff in crates, it's probably arrows or something. I'll code a page tomorrow that shows you what you are wearing and what you are carrying.

Yes. This would be nice

hmmm...
exhaustion time is increased.

Once you have 1 crate, you won't go 180% anymore.  I believe in the above example you would go at 85% speed.

For reference:

50 men, 0 horses, 0 crates: 100-90%
50 men, 50 horses - 180%
50 men, 1 crate - 75%
50 men, 50 horses, 50 crates - 85%
50 men, 50 crates - less than 75%

(You might need one extra horse, depending on how it has been coded exactly, not sure.  It might actually be 50 men, 51 horses - 180%.  But it should be what was above.)

Now that is a pretty graph.  Whoever came up with that formula is a genius, clearly.

Two men or one horse can carry a crate without additional penalty.

85% if you have more horses than crates,
75% to 40% if you have troops carrying crates.

Ok then I don't understand this...if two men or one horse can carry a crate without penalty how can troops carrying crates result in a 75%-45% penalty?  I could understand the 85% part if it read "more CRATES than HORSES" but...these two statemetns seem to contradict each other in my small mind.

It's confusing for me too... I guess it's :

50 men, 50 horses, 50 crates - 75% (to 40% with less horses, and if you have more crates than men you have more penalty.)
50 men, 51 horses, 50 crates - 85% (i guess you can have 0 troops)

Btw, which horses are considered slow, and then what speed with crates (85/75%)?

Thanks for the clarification!

As for that beautiful formula, can we get an equation that we can use for that? Its hard to tell what kinds of gains ill be getting at different distance.

Thanks in advance.

bah too confusing...
More realistic this thing gets = more complicated it becomes QQ
Although thx for the update i believe it will end up good.

I have 1 guy, no equipment, 1 rouncey and 0 goods and I am moving at 26.73 met/minute on the plains.  Movement bonus not working for horses.  This is the same speed i used to move on plains with no horse, 1 troop.

Bring Strat 1 back and don't ever touch cRPG again, chadz. Your ideas are terrible.

u need one more horse, it has to be one above troops always.

[Matey]

since when? i always had crazy speed with 1 horse and 1 troop. i know 0 troops 1 horse doesnt work... cause its no troops... but 1 horse 1 troop is supposed to be top speed.

[Gomer]

I have a couple bugs so far. One being I have 5 crates and a weight of 125 with NOTHING IN MY INVENTORY : )

[Dasty]

I was moving at 99 meters per minute with a rouncy and 1 troop earlier today.
