10)  How does the Towncenter work?
- when you go to sell an item you will get the option to change the price from the default.  If you do this and increase the price the item will go on the marketplace instead.
- everybody can see all marketplace offers but you have to be in the same fief to actually buy an item.
- you only get the money if the item gets bought when using the marketplace

Can i put my items to marketplace even fief has 0 S&D at this moment? Can i decrease price to put them to marketplace or only increase?

Putting goods on the marketplace doesn't change the S&D, because the goods are not sold, they are just stored until someone buys them. You can also use that to store goods somewhere for yourself. Just don't lower the price too much, or someone else will buy them instead.

I think they are put on the town center if you change the price in any way, up or down. Haven't tried to decrease them myself, though but if you look at the town center you will see some items with lower prices than the normal one.

if got a qeustion about the price of my goods, if got some goods with a bonus of 380% and they sel for only 40 each and the price keeps changing.
how does this work?

[dodnet]

You have to look at the price of goods of the village you're in. This is the base price you get per good at 0%. With a bonus of 380% you get the base price * 4,8 (380 / 100 + 1). So if you're at a village with price 5 you would get 5*4,8 = 24; at a village with price 25 you get 24*4,8 = 120 per item.

[Knute]

It's possible that you're in a fief where the S&D number is too low so the price changes until the S&D number can recharge to somewhere over 200.  For example, if a fief has a good price of 6 and someone buys all the goods available the price will change to 13 per good then gradually drop back to 6.  It would show up as "13/6" then 12/6 etc on the info screen until the S&D can recharge.

If you're only getting 40 with a 380% bonus, it sounds like you should travel to the nearest fief with a higher price where you might get 100+ per good.

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

the question remains, does it scale or are there fixed margins with those % mentioned.

[Bjarky]

yeh that would require more testing.

or a dev to just post formula *hint* Thomas ?

How does the 1/3-rule work (instant lose if you are the attacker and you have < 1/3 of the enemy)? At which time is it calculated? The moment I attack or the moment the battle itself starts?

Example 1:
I have 100 troops, the enemy has 400 troops.
-> I attack and get reinforcements, so when the battle starts I have 200 and the enemy 400.

Example 2:
I have 100 troops, the enemy has 200 troops.
-> I attack and the enemy gets reinforcements, so when the battle starts I still have 100 but the enemy has 400 troops.

[Bjarky]

u need that 1/3 +1 before u make an attack, if u dont have it, u just cant attack at all, thats about it

How do you put stuff on towncenter???

Changing price doesn't work.

[Lt_Anders]

I will do my best to answer as many questions as possible in this topic.  Please do not spam it.

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

5)  What is prosperity?
- Prosperity is the number of transaction a fief gains per day
- This can be increased by production points

Went and tested this out. As prosperity is transactions per day, and S/D is the number of transactions you gain(IE 1:2 for 25g) I found that it's a linear listing. Meaning that at 21 goods price, rather than getting half of the prosperity you get a little more than half(.7 vs .5) per day.

Use a linear interpolation on using the S/d numbers to get the transactions per day and then multiply that by the Fief's prosperity and you get the PER DAY gain of S/D.(divide by 24 for per hour)

So assuming a goods price of 20, you would need 800 Prosperity to accommodate Heavy trade(600 goods or less in one day). Only a city can achieve this level of prosperity quickly. I would advise all owners of cities to respec their fiefs to have: High Prosp, Tax and Good Cost. Villages should have LOW cost  on goods and SOME gear. Castles should be primarily about gear.

What is stolen from Fief when u chose raid it and how much % of it ...

[kinngrimm]

thanks Anders. With what i see on the map, sofar, quite a few factions would need to respec some of their fiefs. At least i am not alone with that task ^^
