yeah I'm still pretty confused, none of the deploy options do anything on attack and I don't know how to build any siege towers or ballista etc. I get them when I defend tho.

Click to expand...

when start a siege, while the camp is building up. there are icons on the ground of the map. you can click on these, to build various siege items. this is done on hte world map, BEFORE you "lead an assault.


this pic has 6 siege items in queue.

as soon as a ballista, catapult, or trebuchet is built, they start firing, AND the enemy ballistas starting firing on your seige weapons. towers and rams dont get attacked. until the assualt.
So, this is also a problem as 4 ballista start nuking your catapults as soon as its built. The key is to click it again as soon as its done, and store it.

you can store it, and then lead an assault immediately. which then, if you stored them, they will be auto deployed in the deployment map. (you can move them if you want.)
the blank spots in the deployment before assaults, are because you didnt build any on the world map.

But deploying them during an assault is also much less effective, since your infantry charge right in. While catapults do still deal a shit ton of damage, and can nuke the crap out of the grouped up enemies.. (as well as your own troops oops.)
if yuo build them, pick them up. and then place them all back down while on the world map at once, they will coordinate attacks on the opposing siege weapons, kill them, and then start hitting the walls. at which point, you can break a wall down entirely, and lead the assault, with a giant gaping hole in a wall or two.


Player controlled siege weapons in the assault. left/right aiming is easy enough to see. harder to see is distance. iirc up is further, down is shorter, and there is a visual indicator on the LEFT side of the seige weapon. A red band of paint, with a small metal bar. Shit is real easy to overlook.

also, dont think anyone linked it, so here. you can customize your banner, with more control then the in game banner creator.

It's my understanding there is a bug in trading. Basically if you log off/reload it cancels any profit.
So any buy/selling you do, needs to be done in a single play.

Selling battle loot does not count.

buying things, at the same time you sell, lowers exp gain. sell things, hit done, then buy things separately.

never got any exp from caravans either.

personally trading with caravans however, can be exploited. 1. caravans do not adjust prices with market value. can sell 10,000 iron to one, and it wont reduce the price.
2. caravans have 10k cash limit... but, then finish the sale, talk to them again, and voila they magically have 10k cash to buy more goods with again.

just found a new siege thing.

after you "lead the assault" and are on the "deploy" top down view. you can 1-9 select troops and move them.

Whatever it was (didnt watch video off mobile data), it's removed.

Trade is broken. Yet if you give a Lord 2 denars your charm will go up.

Has anyone figured out a reliable method of identifying what kind of business will do well in a city? It is supposed to be based on what is being supplied by the bound villages but it seems to be more random than that.

Click to expand...

its complicated. yes. most people just say, "bound villages". but that means about jack shit.
bound village provide surplus goods, for the base product.
lets take Poros. (note, poros is southern empire, not Western empire as shown here)

Poros has 2 sheep villages. So, a wool weavery would be good right? those two sheep villages drive down the price of wool in Poros.
well no. Becuase, there is no demand for wool and wool clothing in Poros, or Onira, or Lycaron nearby.
ALSO, poros's prosperity is shit.

1. High prosperity cities, sell more shit.
2. look at local, supply, and look at nearby demand.
3. where to nearby villages take shit?
4. war, bandits, looters.

Poros again, does Onica olives go to Poros, or Zeonica? go to Onica, and follow the villagers, find out.
If onica takes olives to poros, then that is the correct answer there. Oil press. Theres going to be a much larger demand for Oil there, then wool products.

But still, poros is not in an ideal location, compared to say, Ortysia, Marunath, Epicrotea, Dunustica. These are the trade kings, in ideal locations bordering multiple nations, and trade goods.
