Freemen line of buildings

Post by WarBonnet »

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 buildings built.

Granted I don't know the exact formula, so if e.g. the cottages 25% doesn't mean 25 full percentage points change in the spawn chance but instead something like an initial chance of 1% ? growing by 25% then it might be working as intended ofc

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 freeman cottages. So it must be working to some degree.

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 game of France and trying out Crusading is my longest @ ~ 80 turns. So many factions and game mechanics to try, and with new patches dropping - heh perhaps I'll see a full length game in a little while and then get to understand this type of stuff truly functions in the proper context 8)
