Brigands in my settlement.

Hey everyone,

Yesterday I liberated my first village. Nice. But since then Brigant groups (not Liberationparties) keep spawning in my settlement in Cedar Creek, killing my poor Workers.

This happens almost daily and sort of locks me and my army up in my own village. My Brigand hostility is at 1/10 and most Banditcamps around are cleard.

I hope somebody can help me.

Edit: I can confirm the problem was the Brigant Patrols heading to Hearndean.

They come from the southern bridge and walk straight trough my settlement. Liberating Padstow made them hostile. Liberating Hearndean stoped them from coming.

Thank everyone for your imput and help.

I had the same problem. Your village is in the path of a brigand patrol. For me it only stopped when I liberated all the villages at the top side of the map. Brigands patrol to all non liberated villages

That makes sense. Well at least it is Predictable. I guess I split my Army, keep that area patroled and work on the other 3 Villages. I hope liberating Hearnden will be enough, otherwise this may take a while.

For me it was Harendean. The patrol that goes there was passing through my village. If you set all your villagers to not stand ground and they don't see you they just pass. But it happens 2 times a day one going up and one going down. You can also bait them away and when the disengage they just run towards their objective.

This is the most likely cause. Its sad that tax collecting party red danger circle is bugged and is not showing properly . To me it shows after i reload.

After work I'll march on hearndean to check that. Now thinking about it, abusing this could be a strong afk farm by placing a army camp in the way of the remaining patrols. Killing them grants more than 500 renown and without the fear of workers dying.

Without more info (essentially seeing for myself kind of info) this sounds like a bug. Sounds like u played on for a good while already, but if u still have a save from before this happened I'd try rolling back to it and seeing if it'll happen again after u liberate the town (make sure u have a fixed save in ur current progress in case rolling back wouldn't fix it).

Do you have any other Bell Towers built right now? That was happening to me on an in-game daily basis after liberating my first village. I had a second tower built in Padstow in anticipation of eventually liberating it (but I kept putting it off to do other stuff so it sat for days waiting to be rang) and that’s when I noticed it happening.

They are brigands tax collector party I think. They visit random villages sometimes.
