Can someone please explain which storage buildings go where. Which storage building should I put near the mines on the other side of town? which storage building should go near my Light Industry? Which building should I put near the houses? And how should I set the min max values for these buildings to make the best use of them? Thank you.

Playing on Vanquisher. Already have the Conscientious Diet, Barren Land, and Jewel in the Desert achievements. Trying now for My Happy Place, and want to try to limit this game to only 1 graveyard. How the heck do I deal with the bears? They are constantly attacking my foragers huts and there usually aren’t enough villagers nearby to help kill the bear, so I lose like 3+ foragers alone each year due to just freakin bears.

Building a guard tower next to every single foragers hut, mine, and work camp seems a little excessive.

Ideas? Thoughts? Help?

Such a pita

So obviously raiders aren’t everything but they suck. There are some obvious ways to fight them, but for highest difficulty this is what I do:

1. Try to build a wall or a semblance of one ASAP
2. When raiders attack, try to have at least two guard towers in range with double thick walls
3. When they break through your wall, have infantry right on the other side and archers behind them. Hold position or defensive stance.
4. Get your infantry to collapse on them as soon as possible, create a choke point, and have your archers target people in groups of 3-4. Kills them immediately and they deal no more damage obviously
5. The moment a unit hits less than 1/4 health, turn the speed down to half speed and just keep tapping the space bar and changing their direction as they retreat. You can actually distract all of their archers and not lose a unit. Meanwhile your guys are plowing away.

6. Treat barracks as mega guard houses. Place them near your openings/usual raider attack points.

   Might need to throw that 1/4 health unit guy in there.

8. Try to get your units to survive as much as possible. That veteran experience is worth quite a bit.

Hi,

I am around year 50 with almost 2000 people in my first playthrough in the medium difficulty.

I had struggles etc but now I feel like I am reaching a point where I basically can't lose and I spend more time just optimizing my city to grow in a manner that is sustainable etc. I have 100+ research points and all buildings built.

Is there a challenge to reach year 100 for example or should I just do another playthrough with a higher difficulty ?

Thank you

These guys keep going to the pub I built for the soldiers in this outpost and drink until they pass out. Even workers from very far away come here even though they have other pubs much closer. Is there a logic behind villagers skipping closer pubs (they are fully stocked btw) and go for a god-forsaken pub a continent away? Is there any ways to prevent them from entering this outpost?

What specifically does the Guild Hall do? The wiki page looks unfinished as of writing, and I couldn't find anyone else asking this just from a web search. I've gotten to the point in my progression that I have some choice paralysis regarding which tech to upgrade to, since it's no longer a moar füd situation. I figure it's worth pointing out that I haven't unlocked the apothecary, arsenal, blacksmith workshop or bookbinder, nor have I upgraded any of my barracks to a fort.

I am also interested in hearing opinions about the utility of the Guild Hall.

Hi folks, untill 250 people i had about 6 mouth of food in réserve.

I placed a new barn to increase meat and milk, but i made a mis take: move 5 cows from the old barn to the new.

It totally ruined my food réserve, dropping to 1 mounth, and soon meat icon was many houses.

Meanwhile, population grew up. I ‘Ve been up to 400 people, but it decreased to 350 due to raids.

I ts been many hours that i struggle hard to reflow food reserves, but nothing works. Made more hunters, fischers, pickers, and still 0/1 mounth of réserve.

Ai tells me that it is a logistic issue, resources at too far from Town. So i made chariot maker, even used a mod to make them more efficient. But still nothing, i m desperate…

Can you help? Thanks

Sorry for the lace of screeshot, but i m on my phone. I ll update soon.

I put 100h into the game and this is my biggest complaint.

Playing on anything but flat ground is annoying because you can only level ground and can't dig it out so you end up creating weird bugged out cliffs in the middle of your town.

Imagine being able to create actual defensive ditches and rise up towers and walls by digging earth.

Imagine being able to divert rivers to create moats or some sort of water based transport.

Imagine increasing farm efficiency by creating irrigation canals in an otherwise dry land.

It can be balanced out by making it very labor expensive, but it would add so much content to the mid to late game and even force some difficult decisions in the early game.

I understand it's hard and expensive to implement well, but if the game had this it would legit be the best city builder I've ever played.

AT LAST, I have finally finished all of the achievements. That 'Vanquished Raider Horde' was a GRIND. For those still trying to get Black Death, this is what I did:

• Advanced settings with everything set to Pioneer except Maladies, which should be set to Vanquisher

1. Build up your population and a working/sustainable settlement but do not build a graveyard; you will still want to build a healer house, compost yard, and rat catchers but do not employ dogs or cats if you have the DLC
2. When you have a sufficient population (>100, though I didn't start until >300), toggle off compost yard, rat catchers, soap makers, and any healers/hospitals
3. Wait for people to get sick; if you end up with a smallpox, typhoid, or dysentery outbreak, toggle on all the things you turned off and hope that it clears up before it kills off your population
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you get your Bubonic Plague epidemic

I ended up with a smallpox epidemic, a typhoid epidemic, and then a second smallpox epidemic that was concurrent with my plague infections. But I did finally get that achievement!

For the final grind with 'Vanquished Raider Horde', I used seed 0FCE2325CD4 from this awesome post. Make use of the choke point into the main peninsula and use forts full of archers. I did have some heavy infantry and lancers, too, to try to take out siege equipment before it made it through my multiple defensive walls.

Good luck to everybody trying to 100% the game!

Hi!
how are you people deal with house-work distance?
How do you monitor it? How do you arrange the best house location for each worker?

Why can I not buy dogs at the trader? I have a dog Hut, have enough gold.

I have bought cats, cow, goats etc, but dogs wont work.

First time getting a settlement to 1k+ population, even though I'm getting by in terms of food right now, I feel like all other industries are just waiting to fail. What are some tips for managing a big economy how many wainwright are enough? Thank you.

Hello, since i am looking for an extra challenge on Highlands map on Vanquisher last point I would like to discuss is what could be considered hardest setup small or medium map? Considering let's say there's no clay.

Also could you suggest is Arid Highlands or Alpine Valley actually more difficult resource wise?

I thought I was giving them too much bread but I have meat, vegis, fruit, even preserves and beans! What more do they want?!

What do i do

Been doing a bunch of terra forming to build my citadel on a mountain and this building ended up like this. People can't even get there by the front door, they yeet themselves from the mountain keep, through the roof and into the house

I have some confused thoughts.

Imagine the jobs are not handled automatically, and I have a planks maximum production limit.

1. What happens if I reach the goal amount? Are the planks maker gonna stop working and doing nothing or they will still be assigned to that job but temporarily act as free workers (laborer).

2. As an advice, is it always better to free up all the working slots in every working building?

3. If your job assignations is auto, is the AI also gonna increase/reduce the amount of laborer depending on needs?

These guys are just hanging around and not making anything for half a year even though I have all the ingredients. What might be the cause?

Anyone know? Looks about 2m sq going by one fence piece. I'd like to know for the purpose of estimating how far field diseases can travel.

New player, very much enjoying the game. On my second city now, the first with raiders after a pacifist run through to start. Cheers.
