FAQ

Where and how can I buy houses/taverns?
Spoiler:  
Show

Housing is currently available at every Empire town and some Empire villages.
You can find them in world map with a house icon (Red: No residences available, Green: Residences for sale, Gold: You own residence(s))
Choose Housing info in settlement menu, talk directly to notables, tavern keepers or take a walk around for more information (e.g "For sale" tag by pressing the Alt key).

Note: You must wait 1 day from the start of your campaign for housing to become available, a
message will pop up telling you that housing is available for purchase.



How much does housing cost?
Spoiler:  
Show

It depends on multiple factor:
  • owner's influence
  • relationship
  • size
  • town/village prosperity (higher prosperity => higher cost, lower prosperity => lower cost).
Tavern base price is 10000 coins and housing is 7000.
These values are subject to change and can be edited.



How do I add companions to my house?
Spoiler:  
Show

You can simply talk to them or interact with the house's banner.
They are automatically removed from houses when they are kicked from the clan or housing is sold/rented.
Main character siblings can be added after the family rescue quest completed.

Note:
Companions cannot be added to taverns.



How do I rent my house/tavern?
Spoiler:  
Show

For houses once you have purchased one, a new dialog to rent your house becomes available for companions in your clan.
Each house has a base income, and your companions cannot pay rent to you for more than their troop wage.
Income from taverns and rent from houses are add to other income (like with workshops) and can be visible by hovering your mouse over the gold icon on the world map (at bottom right corner) or in clan member finance.



How do I upgrade my house?
Spoiler:  
Show

All houses start at level 1 and can be upgraded up to level 3. Each level has a cost to upgrade and each level unlocks new furniture / decorations.
You can talk to tavern keepers or notables to upgrade them and at the end of a renovation time they will move to the next level.



How does crafting work?
Spoiler:  
Show

For now, only cooking is available.
New items have been added to give a little more depth to recipes, they can be found in all markets in town (talk to trader).
In your house, interact with the "cooking pot" to access the list of recipes.
Choose one or more recipes and after a period of time, they will be added to your inventory (if the list of recipes is still open otherwise on the next interaction with it).

Companions can also cook if the cooking ingredients are available in the house chest.
After battles, your companion can consume recipes to recover some hit points from critical injuries if they are in their inventory.



How does farming work?
Spoiler:  
Show

Here a list of villages that farming is implemented:
Varagos, Enoisa, Boreagora; Dradios, Arpotis, Odrysa, Metachia, Caira, Polisia, Tegresos, Gorcorys, Tevea, Saldannis, Vargornis, Eunalica.
Only two houses of these villages have plots (the biggest house has a plot behind, for the other on its right).

Seeds can be found in each town. You have to take a walk on town and talk to a merchant who sells vegetables. Select this dialog line "Let me see your fresh foods..." to open purchase screen.

After that, go to your plot, equip peasant pitchfork or peasant pole harm and hit the ground with it (clod of earth must appear).
Interact with the clod, choose a seed and wait for the harvest (3 days for vegetables and 7 days for trees).
Some plants need proper tools to be harvested, so be careful!



How do the new companion interactions work?
Spoiler:  
Show

Giving companions new items can increase or decrease your relationship (depends on companion's tastes).
Pay attention to their reactions to find out what they prefer. Be patient and don't spam interactions because it will annoy them and your relationship will deteriorate.
You can also ask them to teach you a skill or learn a skill after a certain amount of relation.



Can I customize the mod?
Spoiler:  
Show

Here a quick list of things you can edit:
  • House/Tavern prices, upgrade prices, incomes
  • Items, item preferences and item modification
  • Crafting (recipes, ingredients, crafting time...)
  • Farming (harvest count, growing speed, grow stage...)
