Huh, well so far this is interesting. But I have to know, will the entire time I play this be:

-kill stuff
-buy better gear
-own more towns

?

There's probably politicking with the other kingdoms (maybe?) and you can build buildings (garrison structures and stuff in towns, although I don't know how that works), but that might be about it. Stuff to kill includes the characters of other players (garrisoned in the wilderness or with mayors) though, which might get complicated.

I used to play after the whole Mountainhome-Staberinde war and even had a kingdom once. Here are things I learned then.

Spoiler: Garrisons (click to show/hide)

Garrisons are groups of characters you leave in the wilderness, they are attacked by any monsters that enter their square. Using resources you can buy at towns or find in dungeons you can create towers/castles(which help garrison survivability a lot) in the wilderness and deck them out with moneymaking additions or xp giving things(may also be resource generation). But they can be captured and destroyed. Once you are a big player and are relatively peaceful putting some newbies with some vets in a defended garrison is a great way to grind xp/money/items offline.

Spoiler: Why+How Monster Spawning is Important (click to show/hide)

What monsters are where on the world map is determined by what uncleared dungeons are where and what level they are. What monsters are where is persistent but the monster bands move around. Places without good management or without many adventurers generally backslide into powerful monster territories which makes defending towns and garrisons more difficult. Conversely clearing high level dungeons leaves the weak monsters to outspawn the strong ones.

I'm level 8, just tried to raid a town- big mistake, got half my party killed, and only took out 2 guards.

Before the high teens avoid elite guards whenever possible. At Level 8 it is best to hit the floppiest towns. The ones without castles, with npc mayor, low population, and bad markets/powerful nearby monsters(if the guard can't handle the roaming monsters money is lost and I think people leave). I recommend doing the first raid as a way to see the town dungeon and how many guards there are. If you don't want the town you can avoid killing the mayor and just raid the town treasury (via findable chests).

There are also a lot of features missed without a pc king of the kingdom, so without one of those you are missing out. Kingdom claim quests are awesome money+xp, especially in monster infested lands.

Who should I use as a Referal Email? I figured it might help somebody out!

girlinhat42@gmail.com will do   I've been building up a small force.  Found myself an indestructible halberd, now I just need a blacksmith...  Do mobs spawn out of dungeons and roam the overmap?  Because I built my first tower atop a dungeon entrance, so does that mean I end up fighting them as they come out?

Eehm... Its not working.

I think they spawn in a radius and then (I am 100% certain that they at least used to) roam the overmap. There are also monster orbs which spawn them right there, but they are generally higher powered and very high volume.
Medicine(heals character a little daily), smithing(maybe wrong name, repairs items a little daily), and fletching(creates a few ammos daily) skills are godsends for garrisons you rarely visit or are in high monster areas. I lost my second garrison due to all their equipment breaking after a week. Funnily enough there was a pile of suitable loot leftover that they could have used .

Does Metalurgy (equipment repair) let them repair other people's equipment as well, or only the stuff they're using?

It became ubiquitous throughout my garrisons so I don't know. If a few of your garrison have the skill after the day rolls over check your garrison history and item damage to verify. Or you could ask Mutant/their forums I guess.

The 2 skills are pretty negligible in the beginning but really scales well with more points and once you aren't entirely party-centric they are much more useful. With some points in the first 2 on most of a garrison I would go weeks without checking them to find their equipment would only be down by half use and almost no-one dead. You can then swap out their worn weapons for fresh duplicates and sell the others.
Fletching though is great early if you have any archers or slings at all. Even if your fletcher never uses the weapon you get some ammo each day to sell.

For what little it's worth, different items will have different durability, so if you get some with decent dura you can upgrade them better.  The push to save for indestructible gear is a lot more worthwhile though.  Just get basic versions of your gear, then save money for magic items.  There's some good looking rings out there too...  And if nothing shows up quickly enough, you can just buy materials and build a fort.

Speaking of, I wish forts had upgrades that would let you heal your garrison and repair materials and make ammo.  That'd be like, perfect.

That usually happens.  It's a tad more 'people are there but acting alone' even when people are on, and there's no many ways to directly aid others.  But if you need help, we can for sure give advice, perhaps even resources.

What's the point of "camp" on the worldmap? It seems to just make you lose a turn.

I think it ups your rest modifier, which can lower your movement point usage in the long run?
