Buy them.

I'm assuming it costs you the gold to get them back?

You only lose the money in taxes as when you buy them you get the gold spent back.

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 = 200% goods per transaction
- 15 gold price = 100% goods per transaction
- 25 gold price = 50% good per transaction
- where Base goods per transaction = 1

Anyone know if this % scales with every single price or are there thresholds? Like 5-10, 11-19, 20-25?

- what is the maximum time to reinforce sbdy's army?
- for how long are you protected after the battle if you're an attacker?

- what is the maximum time to reinforce sbdy's army?
- for how long are you protected after the battle if you're an attacker?

defenders have until 19 hours before the battle starts to reinforce
attackers have 5 hours to from initiating the attack to reinforce (not sure if this is before or after nighttime is taken into account)

I don't know for sure about the protection.  Think it is either 1 or 2 hours

I don't think that is true, defenders also have 5 hours.

Is this even working? Every transaction seems to eat 1 S&D point whether at 5 gold price fief, 19 gold price, or 25 gold price...

19 hours before battle are 5 hours or more depending on when the battle starts.

yeh the text is a bit confusing, what it actually refers to is the replenishment of S&D ^^
Transactions are 1=1

What's ceil and pow in troop upkeep formula?

And that formula for one day/one hour?

[Lt_Anders]

What's ceil and pow in troop upkeep formula?

And that formula for one day/one hour?

Ceil is more or less rounding. Pow is POWER(or in other words exponent). IE 1^10 the POW would be the ^10 part of that.

1 hour.

[Sultan Eren]

Hmm. Pow has nothing before it, in formula.

That would be (1^160*0,035-56)/24 for 100 troops?

or

Can you please calculate 100 troops upkeep for example?

Thank you. I have never seen Math in English.

BTW match is the same all ways. But the referencing of the type(IE exponential might not be called exactly that in Turkish.) or math function could very well be different language to language.
