Oh so it's not the spawn chance but a special event, ty I appreciate the info! I believe the description says its a chance that new population will be freemen. I use it often myself and eventually you will see a region full of freemen. Takes time so don't expect immediate results. Yeah, my current ...

At least in earlier versions you could get (un-)lucky and get 2 spearmen and 5 trebuchet from non-standard RGD. Heh so we went from overabundance to complete scarcity in one fell swoop I have had that many in my solo game armies before. I even had them all combined into a single siege specialist fo...

I often build freeman cottages, both for the health bonus and the chance of getting more freeman. I have not tried to calculate the percentages, but over the course of a long game I have had a significant number of peasants convert to freeman, without using an event, and only in regions that have f...

Good to get official confirmation. Now would be great to get the same for how the siege workshop works...fighting platform being the only way to get trebuchet type units at ~ 40 fortification points doesn't seem logical. I built the siege workshop, but it hasn't given me any units even from a passi...

Crying about propaganda in a medieval game...oh boy

This is purely anecdotal, but seems to me that these specific buildings (mentoring hall, freemen cottages, tenant farm) that are supposed to tweak the chances of a new pop type spawn - don't appear to be working. In a playthrough basically all new pop growth seems to be peasants even with these buil...

Oh my! The 26 for the Shell Keep is a typo (it should be 20). There's no chance to build one with such a number, thanks! Do not hesitate to challenge and question buildings; with thousands of values to input, sometimes there is an error. Peasants are also useful to reach a frontline of 18 and avoid...

Haha so my little test play went to good use. Nice to hear!

Could be this from 1.02 patch notes:

"The structure generating a sound in the region panel has a minor visual cue."

It seems you need peasant roundup (you know that one you spray on peasants!!!) to be able to hire them, I just accidentally saw that. I had believed it was just a French think to hire peasants! Yep through that 0-slot structure is how you get access to peasants. One of the first nations I played ar...

Just for screenshots since there's apparently a 3 per post limit

Thank you for the answers! Would you mind a clarification on some of them? Castle buildings: There can be only one! so you need to upgrade your wall/wall/castle structures to get access to the next. As you can see in the attached screenshot, I currently have a 'Wallburg' in my settlement and the afo...

Hey everyone Since there doesn't seem to be a thread for this yet, thought I'd start one where newcomers can ask their beginner questions. Ideally not walls of text but quick, focused answers and replies that are easy for others to check as well. Btw linking this fabulous spreadsheet here, it has he...

snip Ty Pocus, I appreciate it! More of a test playthrough so I'm not that invested, but still would be nice to know. Btw idk if this is a possible reason for the issue, but I did try to retaliate against their last remaining region there just before - perhaps that's not allowed :lol: https://easyu...

That did come up as a reason for a similar thing to happen when I searched before.
But nope, as you can see in the diplo screenshots (which is why I included them).
I appreciate the reply though!

Hey Started feeling out the game, been looking great so far! I haven't yet fully browsed the manual, but I did run into an issue that's unlikely an intentional game mechanic. Namely, having a peace hoisted on me out of the blue: https://imgur.com/a/16jDx5q I occupied 3 out of 4 of Toledo's regions -...

Alright, it seems we simply have different priorities then. You prefer stockpiling build points for future buildings, whereas I'd have wished for more optimized current turn production. Fair enough, clearly we have a different idea of what feels intuitively right...and that's perfectly fine :wink: T...

It's averaged, you don't actually lose points. You can even shut down some regions so that their production is funneled to a single one. I never said I was losing infra points.... The problem is the exact opposite. Reshuffling regions (especially reshuffling for a few turns in a row) start floating...

Hey Everyone I found this game recently and really loving it so far! I'm at the beginning of my first proper playthrough, just starting to learn a little about how the mechanics work. Cool systems that make sense...however after uniting a couple provinces, something began to feel off about how the b...
