The problem there is that it's likely a crossing, and not a street. 8 houses max there.

Cheers, I found a spot without a crossing and it worked. Is that a normal setup? Everything as crossings? I'm just grossly attempting to abuse an existing city for a faster restart.

[Radsoc]

Crossing might be a requirement of some workshop (as opposed to streets). Not sure though, but (bs) necklace farms require either one. Could be a remnant of old mechanics/requirements. A street would max population though.

[Tobel]

Heh, it didn't matter anyway. There is a troop of 10 Knights on the way to wipe me out it looks like. That didn't take long.

Seems to be a loaded but unaligned player. You could pledge allegiance to some local empire to get them to help you. Basically all empires need players, there's a shortage, to fill up empty domains or just to hold territory. However, this guy alone wields a huge army unmatched by most players. His build style is one of crossings too.

And it worries me, since he is a neighbour on Tropica .

Just found this game after reading about it on reddit.   Long time DF Player and giving it a try.   Any advice for someone new starting?  I found a spot.. built a few huts and am starting a road and a garden/well for water.   a couple folks messaged me and got me into a discord but they all are speaking russian so thats not much help right now lol.

I read a few of the recent pages on this thread.  Is it worth breaking down/abandoning my spot and trying to find a city/area that i could claim to get a head start?

[Radsoc]

I would say that it's better to pick an abandoned area and claim the buildings there. But, you could use one of your other chars for that. You may want sea access to trade as well.

The economy is difficult in the beginning. Liquidating abandoned domains gets you some cash injections though.

We might be in the same country... Everyone in my discord is in Russian too

So are knights and catapults under a paywall? I heard the game turned really pay to win.

If so, I probably won't rejoin. But not sure how accurate it is. That is what they were saying on the paradox forums though and how a lot of the updates chased players away

[Brotato]

Well, it's official guys. I'm bored of this game again. I completed everything I wanted to about a month ago and have been pretty stagnant since then. If anyone is interested I'd be happy to hand off my domain to them. Here are the coordinates: https://www.landsoflords.com/map/02663W26068N

Just make sure to zoom out and take a good look as there are three different cities within my single domain.

Coal is under a paywall, and you use it for all tools and weapons. You can also do it with charcoal, but not only is it a longer industry chain, and not only does it result in lower quality normally, it also relies on buggy unit movement AI so to get a decent efficiency you have to micromanage.

[Brotato]

Coal is not under a paywall. I've got like 5 mines worth of the stuff and I've never paid a dime. However, knights, water fountains, theatre pieces, great helms, and some other things are behind a paywall.

Guys, I want to start playing this game. Can someone recommend me a good place to settle, a friendly kingdom to join, and a discord to chat?

When I joined I got a few offers right away. I'm in a Russian Empire currently, so it's a bit challenging on the communication part. I don't really know the politics of the world.

On another note - does anyone have a resource with the best builder squad makeup? Say a squad for building huts into the first stage of a street. I've been taking the skills required, rounding down, and thats how many of that skill I bring. Is this okay, or should I adjust? For huts for example, 2 carp , 2 roofer, 1 glazier. Maybe a carter too?

[Brotato]

The further you are from your first square the more useful a Carter is but even then they're pretty meh. Personally I think your setup is massive overkill. If you try applying that philosophy to larger buildings you won't even be able to fit everyone in the area. Plus each additional person you add is slightly less efficient. You're better off just spreading everyone around. I do 50/worker for building costs.

Thanks I appreciate it. I've just started spreading them out and taking the hit on time. I took over a place and have a ton of repairing to do. So I'm trying to save those before they all collapse on my face.
