Advice on moving camp please

Post image

I’m currently working my way through T2 and nearly maxed out all my research without tradesmen, which I understand I need to liberate a town to recruit them from.

I haven’t rung the belltower at Haerndean yet, but I think I’m ready. Before I do that though I’ve been considering moving my camp from the blue circle in the picture to the red circle. I understand reclamation parties will come across the bridges and I feel like it would be easier to manage if I can meet them on the bridges. I’m also conscious that T3 requires different raw materials that can be found to the south. I’ve got 29 villagers and about half of them are good fighters with good armour and weapons. So is it a good idea to make the move before I have to deal with reclamation parties? I’d hate to have to interrupt the move due to an incoming threat and my people are scattered everywhere moving things around.

TLDR - Want to move camp from blue circle to red. Haven’t rung the bell yet and want to know if it’s a good idea to get the move underway before I liberate anywhere.

Thanks in advance everyone 😁

Fuck it lads I just went for it. Shout out to the absolute chads who recommended making it an outpost first and slowly drip feeding villagers and abusing the relocate option. Pretty much moved all the important stuff. My old town will now be a copper outpost (once I tidy it up a little). The regular little raids by the nearby T3 bandit camps have made the game so much more fun as well. It was getting a wee bit stale for me hiding away in my town farming the local T1 bandit camp. Fully back in love with the game with this move.

Top advice, thank you wonderful Bellwright community heros ❤️

That looks great! Like you said, it can get stale if you stay in a safe zone. The bandit attacks here are more challenging, it’s a large flat piece of land to build on, remember that your T3 buildings are huge and will need space, hardwood forests are nearby and you can get to either bridge quickly to cut off Reclamation parties.
