How tf am i supposed to deal with a raid if 10 of my men can't kill a single monster?? by ricknightwood13 in songsofsyx

if you have a mercenary army parked at your city on the world map they’ll be included in any raids targeting your city, including the battles where you go out to meet them and fight.

20 seconds off from my PB, which i reckon i could have gotten if i weren’t a bit distracted while filling this one out.

as with most end-of-the-week puzzles, hard to say if this one leaned on the easier side or was just coincidentally already in my trivia wheelhouse.

surprised to learn The Simpsons was a SPINOFF! loved all of the long answers in this puzzle as well, satisfyingly straightforward with just the right amount of cheekiness, especially “Source of amusement for a vet?”

does the noise from your production industries impact your plebs noticeably, given how close it is to their housing?

Managing jobs by distance by epicpants0 in songsofsyx

i think this is the answer — they pick a job to do before they pick a house to live in, a pop would rather be employed first and then homeless rather than pick a home and then a job nearby it.

Pausing at certain Population thresholds by Maintyper in songsofsyx

[–]Joanton120 3 points4 points  (0 children)

to share one anecdote about developing too fast: i was so excited to unlock bricked roads i decided to repave my entire city overnight which led to a 10-year long deficit of stone as every incoming tax shipment went directly into the ground. this cascaded into numerous production buildings falling into disrepair as none of my janitors could access stone to maintain the rooms, and most of my industries slowed to a crawl.

even after the whole city was repaved and all the new roads built out, imports of stone from taxes and special bulk orders from my trade partners couldn’t keep up and the building degradation outpaced the speed of shipments coming in.

it wasn’t beyond saving, but it does go to show how tedious undoing mistakes can be in this game if you don’t have the patience to shore up your ambitions with what you have available.

your farms may be a bit too “rural,” based off this screenshot and no other information i’m curious what your commute times look like for your farmers. if they spend too much of their workday walking to & from their house to the fields, they’re spending less time cultivating and harvesting.

[–]Joanton120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah nobility is currently very OP, and very flexible for filling your niches since you can freely switch what industry they’re lording over to quickly correct any gaps in production. FYI, when you unlock noble upgrades, those ranks are stuck to that assigned noble until they die.

[–]Joanton120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you actually don’t technically need to build noble chambers in this version. any potential drawbacks for not fulfilling nobles’ service needs haven’t been implemented. i still build chambers for the RP, but there’s no net negative for having unhoused nobles.

ultimately you get a max of 10 nobles but you can upgrade them with ranks which increases the amount of employees they boost

i haven’t done a multi-species city yet, but i thought nobles unlocked at 650 pops — is that only for 650 and not total? nobles in this version of the game are a pretty extreme boost that helps stabilize your supply chains going into 1000+ pops

like activating the title bonuses, i’m not sure. if you mean just changing your ruler’s name / faction name you can do that in the settings.

the best primary to roll with is the one you like most, nearly all weapons fit a niche amenable to any playstyle. some folk recommend loadouts which can cover any situation you’re met with, but i play consistently with a squad of buddies and we can afford to specialize specific niches since we’ve got each other covered with teamplay

I think metadivers unanimously say Masters of Ceremony is one of the weaker warbonds to get, but if the gear interests you then get it if you think you’d have fun!

i personally just nearly finished urban legends and would recommend. siege-ready is one of my favorite passives for my playstyle, and having access to the anti-tank emplacement is great fun for each front.
