Strategus 4 FAQ

[Pawiu]

can i sell products only in town center?

[Digglez]

when you respec fief PP, I assume you lose HALF of the gained PP, not the starting?

Ie...if you were to repsec a village after 6 days, would you get 200+ 6/2 = 203 or (200+6)/2=103?

- Upkeep = ceil((pow(#troops,1.6)*0.035 - 56) / 24)
- Upkeep of garrisoned troops in fiefs = ceil((pow($troops, 1.02) * 1 - 100)/24)

I believe are: ((((#troops ^ 1.6) * .035) - 56) / 24) the result being rounded up to the next integer.
                      (((($troops ^ 1.02) * 1) - 100) / 24) the result being rounded up to the next integer.

#troops = total number of troops
$troops = total cost of troops

To be more plain.

Not quite.  #troops and $troops are the same.  I stole the garrison formula from the old change log topic and never noticed it was different.   The integer bit is correct but should be "next positive integer" (including 0)

[Lt_Anders]

Do you get free troops in garrison? Doing the math, you get a negative number(meaning free) up to a certain point.

Or did i do it wrong?

Math matically you need 91 troops before you get out of negatives and start having to pay for upkeep.(unless you GET money for them....)

Edit: You can also handle 284 troops at 10 gold per hour and not loose money if you have enough strat ticks(you get 1:10 on the ticks).

So assuming you play crpg a lot, you can keep 284 troops without "paying" upkeep.

[Jarlek]

This is interesting.

[Digglez]

so what happens to your strat ticks when you are at maximum troop count?

[Lt_Anders]

You get gold 10g:1tick

Also it's Point Number 1 on the FAQ.

Army speed questions

How much does having your entire forces consisting of cavalry speed up your movement speed? Does it depend on type of horses or is "horse" just a generic speed modification? Does quality of horses affect map speed ie. does a MW horse forces move faster than a -2 one with the same type of horses in it?

What are some of other peoples army speed? (It's slow I know and terrain effects it yes)

Does having 1 or 100 soldiers (the size of your army) effect marching speed? I don't think so but I haven't paid attention to this yet.

I tried out force marching and it appears it increases my speed by about x6 but not exactly. One would think that speed would incease by x2 and last longer instead since it isn't very realistic to ask your troops to run at six times their marching speed but it's just a game of course.


How much weight can you carry before your map speed goes down and how does this calculate?

Also I noticed a small fraction of a change in speed. Could this be due to changed weight carried?

You get gold 10g:1tick

10g:2tick actually

9) What was suggested for Strat 4 but left due to time restraints
- Automatic peasant gear for naked peasants

Fixed. Very nice peasant equipment

By the way how do I get strat gold from strat battles?
I participated in 10 battles already, but get 400gold only from:
http://c-rpg.net/index.php?page=battlesparticipated#!?page=battledetail&id=55

This was mine battle(& I didn't pay any peny). Also all my mercs got about 400 strat gold.

Ah yes, that's right i always forget that it's 2 ticks per action. Liking the peasant gear.

[Tomas]

updated the OP

[Lt_Anders]

Castles and Towns get free gear but the sum thingy was wrong.

You need to be naked

So, by putting in ONE item i basically screw myself over?
Should be fixed IMO.

Uh what'd you do to mine and your post?!

I know the answer to this but you should put this into the FAQ

How often do I get Strategus Ticks?

[Jarlek]

12) How does auto peasant gear work?
- if you are naked you get free peasant gear for all your troops
- this gear will disappear after the battle

This doesn't seem to be the case. Was just in a strat battle and the guy had 10-15 Practice longswords only. We still got peasant gear to fight with.
