Strategus 4 FAQ

[buba]

How do I transfer troops to my fief? i raised the cap but i can not transfer the extra troops to the fief.

[Digglez]

Is there a cap on fief S&D? Or will it just continue to rise if noone conducts business there?

[Zlisch_The_Butcher]

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.

Actually I had 29 broken practice longswords, however, Tomas said naked and we indeed had no armors.

It works for 300 minutes, then some 600 "exhaustion", when you move at half speed. Its usefull for quickly reaching some battle, but does not work for speeding up trading

[Vibe]

Might be a noob question, but do you still need the same amount of horses as you have troops to receive a map travel speed bonus?

I'm not 100% but I believe it is 2 strat ticks used per hour on troops or gold.

i had 210 strat ticks and 4 gold i think, caped my army to 150 (100/150). after whole night i still have 190 ticks or something , 0 gold and 101/150 troops.. arround 9 AM i changed troop cap to 100/100 and after 2 hours i have 20 gold...

something is not working here...

So how much faster do you move when force marching?

" 7. Fief Corruption for empires that grow too large, but done in a way such that faction splitting does not give you an advantage.  Corruption can still be overcome for organised factions that want to expand. Each faction will have to decide how much corruption it can cope with though.  Factions will also have a Vigilance rating that can decrease corruption.  Vigilance will be a war/fighting based score."

Any idea how this is working?

 And how exactly is prosperity working on s&d? If ive got it right s&d is a big factor in trading now, so how much it would help if a place has 25 goods price, so theyr s&d is getting back slowly with the normal 200 prosperity, if they increase it to 300 or more?

4) What is supply and demand (S&D)?
- This is the number of goods transactions that can be made in a given fief. 
- A transaction is either the sale or purchase of goods and the number of goods per transaction depends on the fief's goods price
- 5 gold price = 4 goods per transaction
- 15 gold price = 2 goods per transaction
- 25 gold price = 1 good per transaction

What are the values in between? So with 16..24 gold is it 1 or 2 goods/transaction?

at 21 per good, it's 1 good per transaction. I'd assume that between 20-25 is all 1:1.

[Turboflex]

Does prosperity go up/down from trade? Or just up with PP investment?

I thought I saw written somewhere that buying from a fief increases prosperity and selling decreases. Anyone know?

Also if true, would that include buying gear from shops, and/or from "town center" market? or just buying/selling trade goods directly from/to local S&D.

Nice. So you will get positive trade bonus only after passing 14km?
