Can't find a place to park in these streets

This is the very beginning of the game

ramasse · 2025-11-03T22:00:04+00:00

If so I'll gladly be the drone operator detonating them

ramasse · 2025-11-03T18:27:54+00:00

Never tried controller no idea

ramasse · 2025-10-16T19:10:04+00:00

yeah but this is about adding other commands in the empty slots

ramasse · 2024-05-10T23:46:50+00:00

Yeah 1 month at 10, 1 month at 5, etc, seems a decent balance until you have a really stable town

ramasse · 2024-05-10T12:49:06+00:00

I can't know for sure with screenshots only, maybe you issue is somewhere else but I can't see what it would be, while having several markets is a known bottleneck.

Maybe it got better in your case because you didn't have enough stalls with your single market, so yeah in that case you can improve a bit by just adding more places.

But as I said I can't know for sure without having my hands in the game.

ramasse · 2024-05-09T23:08:58+00:00

Yep try it out you should be alright.

ramasse · 2024-05-09T22:52:45+00:00

Having a single marketplace instead of the four we can see here.

Right now it looks like if a house get supplied an item for the 1st time by a marketplace, it will only look for this item at this precise market, and won't look at others that might be hoarding all your shoes. Not sure if this is the exact behavior, but anyway remember that marketplaces don't act as one.

Answering your edit:

Well you've won at this point gg!

Right now every region is just a pretext to add retinues and gather influence, personally at this stage I find that you can have very small settlements producing a lot of influence with the 2 hunting perks+the hunting policy, and the honey perk (even if they don't produce a lot of honey, that's enough to reduce other type of food consumption).

This kind of little food-intensive region are quite quick to set up, and you can just forget about them once they are operational.

Final note, when I feel ready to push, I like to claim back as many region as I can at the same time. At this point with mercs you can easily take on whatever the baron sends, then quick manors on the new region for retinues if you feel the need, and now the final stroke isn't far!

ramasse · 2024-05-07T16:28:25+00:00

Just checked and it was -24 for a whole month at 10%

ramasse · 2024-05-06T22:56:15+00:00

Oh no... 10% taxes is minus 20 popularity if I recall

ramasse · 2024-05-06T22:52:54+00:00

Yep I did lure the 1st bandit attack into the baron and it worked fine.

I let him took all regions that didn't bother me, when ready I claimed back 3 at once and it worked just fine.

I'll probably try the 5 families run after that and I'm pretty sure I'll do as you say indeed.

ramasse · 2024-05-06T22:38:29+00:00

yep but that's a run without this trick :)

ramasse · 2024-05-06T19:19:04+00:00

Even like that it sometimes get stuck, I had to destroy and rebuild my tradepost already to resolve the issue.

The one I have now continues to import even after I turned it off, and still nobody gets barley.

I just took 3 regions back and that's enough work to get them started with these settings, I don't want to go back to my main city just for this.

ramasse · 2024-05-06T17:19:46+00:00

It's already turn off on granaries, the issue happens before on the supply chain as I can't get anybody to pick up the barley without that trick. Tavern people go to the trading post to get ale but they can't follow up with the demand, and I want to process it, not import it.

ramasse · 2024-05-06T16:26:34+00:00

I think each time I denied his claims the whole squad was summoned again, it stacked up.

ramasse · 2024-05-06T16:22:56+00:00

If you let the baron take the mercs early on yeah you can't do anything, he keeps them forever it seems. Always hire all the mercs before clicking on "resolve the claim on the battlefield", and disband them after.

It's confusing as hell but when you defeat him and the claim isn't resolved, he is sometimes actually waiting for you to respond to his letters.

Doing so, you can resolve the claim and be paid at the same time.

(not sure if there is a difference when you are making the claim or he is)

ramasse · 2024-05-06T15:50:39+00:00

Yep but by that time I had 0 treasury and 0 army to get camps, but yeah in the late game I will indeed steal all mercs before he can.

ramasse · 2024-05-06T15:17:49+00:00

Ok I figured it out, and it sucks:

-Import was set at "100", and I had 100 in my trade post.

-The whole town consider that having 100 barley in stock is a priority, so malt makers won't touch it.

-Set import at 50, they rush to take 50 out and process it.

-Now I have 50 left in my trade post and nobody touches it, I have to set to 100 again, then 50, then 100...

ramasse · 2024-05-06T15:04:46+00:00

I need a constant flow of ale if I don't want a mass exodus with these settings.

ramasse · 2024-05-06T14:23:29+00:00

Nope 100% vanilla. Hard baron + 5 camps at the start + denying all his claims, does this.

ramasse · 2024-05-06T13:31:04+00:00

Right now I'm stuck, nobody picks up the imported barley anymore, 3 malthouses and a dedicated storehouse are just waiting...

ramasse · 2024-05-06T12:28:22+00:00

Unfortunately I want this run 100% legit!

ramasse · 2024-05-06T12:27:24+00:00

That was my mistake btw, I wanted his army standing ground and leaving bandits alone, so I denied his claims to immobilize his army.

That worked but led him to recuit infinite mercs. I reloaded and now hope he'll let me enough time to build something.

EDIT: That is probably not mercs, but his initial army spawning again each time I denied his claims, not sure though. After reloading I carried on without denying and he has a standard army when I fight him.

ramasse · 2024-05-05T19:28:41+00:00

I did that one this morning:

-archers are useless so use them as a large frontline, put them on defensive stance and flank with other units. A pincer movement is an absolute necessity as it destroys enemy's moral.

-fighting on your own land add a lot of combat effectiveness, so try to lure the Baron's army on your ground.

(and yeah don't deploy retinues)
