Whats wrong with this strategus? Last round I got gold for doing nothing, why doesn't that work any more?
Because it was silly. Strategus will reward those spotting and using chances, not those sitting in a town waiting.

Therefore, you now have several ways of getting money, some are more, some are less profitable.
Sorted:
Begging (gives you one gold per hour up to 35 gold, overrides visiting fee)
Crafting Goods and
 - selling them to the fief you are in (low profit)
 - selling them to professional traders (medium profit [estimate])
 - selling the to faraway lands (high profit)
Crafting Items and selling them
 - to the town (medium loss, probably the most silly option of em all)
 - to other players (can be very high profit)

How am I supposed to take castles or towns? They have so many troops!
You are not supposed to take them yet. They will be updated with appropiate numbers in some time.

Could items be put on a market in villages and such?
I am coding a towncenter as we speak. It will be only available in towns. You can put goods and/or equipment up for sale. People can buy from the stack, either some or all items. The money will be saved in the towns bank and can be recovered when you re-visit the town.

Faraway goods bonus:
round(pow($distance_percent*100, 1.28));
max distance = 139 km

begging for money dont override the towns /fiefs visiting fee!
When you look filthy rich, no one will give you a coin, and you will have to pay nonetheless. Towns don't like fake beggars.

How should I equip my men? Items are soooo expensive!
Craft them. Crafting gives at least 30% discount, and up to 80%. If you cant craft, buy from another player.

I am stuck! I can't move in any direction!
Wrong. There is always one direction you can move into. Check the "zoom" link in your character page, it shows you what direction you can move into without hitting a border.

Trading? Crafting?I have no idea what all those values mean!
Short version: you should produce goods where they are cheap,
you should sell them where they are expensive,
and if you have the guts to do it, travel long distance to receive a bonus.
Let's have a closer look at a fief:
The prosperity is a value that is randomly increased or decreased by one every day on a random hour.
After it's updated, the entire prosperity value is added to the price in this location (note: prosperity can also be negative).
Every location has one price for all goods. It's not like "we want this good so badly, we'll pay a lot for this", it's more like "we're filthy rich, we just pay a lot for whatever you bring us". I know it's not really advanced economics (or even basic ), but it should serve it's purpose for the time being.


So the good type doesn't matter at all? And what's the distance bonus anyway?
Funny that you ask both in the same question - because they are connected! So, every location produces a certain good, and the distance bonus is always calculated from the original locations place. You can give the goods to someone else, or rob someone - the original location stays the same. The highest theorethical distance bonus is 360%, so you might be lucky and sell at your destination for 115 instead of 25. Of course, the route is long and dangerous, so be prepared to meet raiders on the way.





feel free to ask questions, i'll answer them (maybe)

Everyone being in the same place is making the strat map lag on my phone.

Whoa whoa whoa, you can't go removing fiefs without a poll so we can all vote to get rid of our enemy's lands first! Muh homeland!


Also rip unuzdaq, always was one of the cooler castles. 

Also any particular reason for removing more centrally-located fiefs and adding in all the eastern ones like Praven? Sure it's nice to change things up a bit, but I feel like spreading out the NA map might make things a little slower.

yeah unfortunately I don't know where all the fancy schmancy vote-y scripts are as well as the 'official' reset scripts, so I had to do things on the fly. i'll do my best to get voting for fiefs next strat working.
movement speed was increased on strat map to compensate for the more spreadout nature of fiefs.

Even though i havent been a peasant in a very long time, i thought i was moving faster than usual, even faster now that when i had 48k horses with only 25k goods

I think it was to get maps and fiefs no one ever plays and get rid of the ones that have been beaten into the dirt (curaw and durquba)

Created the Free Peasants on strat, refreshed a few minutes later and im back to being white with no faction. Also, how do you find out faction id's for a clan invite link?

If you're using chrome: click on your dot on the map, then right click on "Faction: Free Peasants of Fisdnar" -> click inspect. In the highlighted part it should read something like:
<li id="fac14">Faction: The Hounds of Chulainn</li>

In our case, HoC is faction #14, so the invite link would be:

http://strategus.c-rpg.net/send_action.php?action=joinFaction&id=14


Note: You should be able to do the exact same thing in Firefox, I'm pretty sure you can just right click -> inspect element in that browser as well.


WARNING: If you're already in the faction don't click the invite link, as you will re-apply and lose any rank you currently have.
