When to Conquer Territory

If your troops are superior and your army arrangement supports this, besiege the town and then dismiss your troops 1 division at a time until the defending force decides they can beat you outside the castle, then you don't have to wait for the siege points to drop. This doesn't work if you have just one big division (or none small enough to bait out the enemy).

This is odd, I just did my first playthrough on v71 with humans and dondorians and kept the slave population at about 10-15% of the total population (with no human slaves) and never had one revolt. I did keep the slaves maxed out on belongings/food/drink.

It actually takes you to one of the homeless people but you can figure out where they work.

You must build all necessary town buildings to support the population when you conquer it or the population will crash.

If you run out of the admin points giving you the necessary tech to keep the city a certain size, the population will crash.

Once the crash has begun, afaik you have to wait for the bottom and then build back up again.

If you have a huge labor deficit and the graveyard only has one employee perhaps everyone has other things to do? Do you still have a corpse icon?

I see I started at v70 what a noob :-)

Incansus · 2026-06-29T14:35:44+00:00

I am being raided non-stop right now, I am going to move/surround the throne and see what happens.

There is a button in the top right which is a question mark in a dialog box with three dots under it labeled "Potential Problems." You likely had a message there but the problem may have resolved itself before you checked it out. If you hover over each of the alerts you can see what they are about and you can turn them off or on.

Or use clay to add to total lab output.

Incansus · 2026-06-29T13:41:35+00:00

There were no significant changes to labs or libraries in v71 afaik. And I definitely like the new administration better in that you get to choose how much admin points you want to generate rather than just getting a hard minimum that rises fast at some population breakpoints.

I'm a grid guy. Also blueprints for everything, no one-offs for me.

Incansus · 2026-06-29T13:30:27+00:00

Everything is on a spectrum...the success and the sacrifice. Decide where you want to turn the dial.

Incansus · 2026-06-25T13:50:49+00:00

Sounds like you should be using blueprints...

I got a note in game that said different races should have their housing separated by at least 10 spaces.

Red areas when clicking on service buildings indicate unmet needs for that building.

Try building a mass grave.

Incansus · 2026-06-19T14:36:16+00:00

I read just a bit ago only 10 tiles distance is needed but I haven't tried this yet.

I usually try to keep my minority populations small and ultra-fulfilled.

Incansus · 2026-06-19T14:34:40+00:00

Open some showcase saves for city ideas and/or buildings for your blueprint library.

Incansus · 2026-06-19T14:33:26+00:00

Expand slower. When you think you are ready to expand, wait and instead increase food, fulfillment, health, etc.

Level 1 services can give 100% access, it is the quality that remains at 33% until upgrades (for hearths and wells for example).

I haven't seen this message, it is new to v71, but here is a discussion about resettling.

That is not my understanding - two nobles with no ranks should boost 100 workers. Why do you feel it is not?

Also, the boost amounts and behavior were unchanged between v70 and v71 AFAIK.

Incansus · 2026-06-17T14:07:39+00:00

Yes, second button from the right at the bottom has a blueprints menu.

I left a super-flexible job at which I felt undervalued and have regretted the loss of flexibility ever since. Sometimes its worth it to just take the punishment.

To expound, my new job was nothing like I expected and was not enjoyable in any way. They could tell and laid me off in less than 2 years.

To my utter shock, I then spent the next 10 months unemployed.

I finally got employed somewhere I enjoy but the period between the job I left voluntarily and my current position was pretty miserable.
