Strategus 4 FAQ

[Bjarky]

What ranks do what in a strategus faction. The ranks are explained for ladder, but couldn't find any info about strategus factions.

Ranks:
1-4: Lowly peasantry (work yeh scrubs)
5-9: Officers (can accept ppl into the faction, change roster for faction strat battles and can also pay merc pay for finished defense strat battles)
10: High lords (same as officers + can change faction color and change ppl's ranks);
rank 0 kicks member out of the faction

Thanks a lot.

I also would like to know how to manage a fief.

For example...
-I have gotten a fief and how do I give it to someone?
-How do I check the garrison and stashed equipment?
-How do I manage the garrison and stashed equipment?
-I know goods disappear if you leave them at a fief. What other items do disappear if I send them to a fief? What should I avoid?
-I've heard you can take the gold stashed in the fiefs when you take them. How to do this?

and maybe anything that I should be aware of as a fief owner?

enter a fief, click info tab

For example...
-I have gotten a fief and how do I give it to someone?
as lord of a place you get the option to transfer it to someone who is with you at the same time in(entered) that fief

-How do I check the garrison and stashed equipment?
Garrison/ Troop count by clicking onto a fief at the map view and/or within info tab on top left.
Stashed Equipment and Gold also in the Info Tab, that as Lord you can transfer then to a chosable player within range of the fief


-How do I manage the garrison and stashed equipment?
see answers before

-I know goods disappear if you leave them at a fief. What other items do disappear if I send them to a fief? What
should I avoid?
That is new to me, please describe in more detail what you did.

-I've heard you can take the gold stashed in the fiefs when you take them. How to do this?
Info Tab, transfer same as with troops equipment and goods transfer from teh feif to someone else

and maybe anything that I should be aware of as a fief owner?
don't run out of upkeep money!

[Ronin]

Thanks a lot!

Ok but who becomes the lord of the fief when it is captured. The guy that captured it or the faction lord of the guy that captured it? Based on what you tell, it seems you have to enter the fief to take it to yourself.


-I know goods disappear if you leave them at a fief. What other items do disappear if I send them to a fief? What
should I avoid?

Hmm I've only heard that some guy dropped some trading goods into a fief instead of selling them, and the trading goods did simply vanish. I didn't do anything like that before only heard. If you don't know anything about this, it means it is a false rumor probably or a bug.

[BaleOhay]

I have not seen this happen. I drop goods in the fief all the time for the owner to pick up and run (he is not in my faction) is easier than waiting for him to get online and open transfers. Have not had any issues

1. The guy who captured it.
2. Very rare bug, dont worry about it, usually nothing wrong happens when u transfer goods to a fief (the owner can then see them in the info tab inventory when he is inside the fief).

[Ronin]

Thank you for answers.

There is one more question I'd like to ask

In some battles I see one side can choose to retreat during the battle. How do they retreat?

[Lt_Anders]

Thank you for answers.

first off: NEVER RETREAT. It's basically a "I lose" button not a retreat. They get all your gear, but none of your troops, thankfully.

If you wish to retreat(NEVER EVER DO THIS!) You hit Q-M-R-S

[Ronin]

Thanks again. That information was the information just I need

Hmm I got 2 more. I've read you have to have 1/3 troops to attack someone. Now:

-Does this apply to settlements as well?
-If so, do the system also takes the population into account? I mean you have 10 troops and you want to attack a settlement with an army of 25. but there is also 10 pop, which leaves your troops less than 1/3.

It does apply to settlements too, no the population is not taken into account.

[Chris_the_Animal]

S&D>Prosp.
S&D<Prosp.

any difference in gaining S&D with these 2?

[serr]

No, it's the same. There is difference in price though.

[Chris_the_Animal]

tell me 

[serr]

When sd < prosperity, price aims to 15. When sd = 0 - price is always 15.
For example, if you have 500 prosperity and 5 price in fief, at 250 sd your current price will be 10
