Turning the economy on question
« on: August 08, 2009, 02:30:12 am »

ok so i downloaded the game but with the graphics mod however it had economy off and i did not know this until the tax collector and baron arrives.  I turned it on after they came but i dont think it actually activated the economy cause i dont have the option to build a shop i think.  Is this because the economy will never activate after the baron and tax collector arrives if the economy was turned off when this happens?

i also have the same question about turning on invaders. it was off by default when the game started but i dont have an army yet.  if i turn it on will invaders start spawning or will i need to make a new game ?

For the first: It's off forever for that fort, unless perhaps you kill off the tax collector and force a new one to come, I'm not sure if that works.

For the second, Yes, you can freely turn that option on and off with no problems, turning it back on will cause invaders to spawn again. :)

And for a personal note: I wouldn't suggest the Economy no matter what, it's simply a placeholder right now and not very well worked upon.

i think you should try it at least once.

I agree with andrea, you should try everything this game has to offer at least once. It adds a new layer of challenge to the game, but as Smew says, it functions very poorly and is mostly a placeholder.

Anyways, it's your call.
