SECOND VILLAGE STRONGHOLD KINGDOMS HOW TO

By only being in 1 parish, you only have to kill 1 AI castle every few days. The largest Wolf castles are a chore to kill given the large expenses involved, however they give you a huge negative to your popularity and launch constant pillages and ransacks against your villages. Conversely, an enemy player could use inquisition on your single parish to give all of your villages -50 happiness, however given the large faith point costs involved and how minor an impact -50 popularity is, I doubt it’s something you’ll ever have to be too worried about.ĪI Castles – The fewer parishes you are in, the fewer AI castles you must kill. Bless is not something I normally recommend due to the research point and faith point costs. Being able to send reinforcements between your villages can be a great help if you find 1 of your villages under attack, although this advantage is negated if all of your villages are under assault.īless – You can use bless on a single parish to give all of your villages up to +50 happiness. Even if a player tries to excommunicate all of your villages at once, assuming you notice it you can launch monks to have them in flight to absolve a nearby village before the excommunications land. Being able to quickly send monks between your own villages can be very important with interdiction and absolving villages that have been excommunicated. This can be very important if you choose to go banqueting, if you have any low wood/stone production villages, or if you want to ship bread, vegetables, fish, or iron between your villages. This can be a huge blessing, although it also means you might have a harder time getting to know other players.ĭistance – You can quickly send monks, resources, and reinforcements between your villages. Please keep in mind that the stewardship is best held by an experienced player, so you might wish to vote for someone else.ĭisease – The fewer parishes you are in, the fewer parishes you have to cure of disease to keep everyone happy.ĭrama – The fewer parishes/countries you are in, the less drama and politics you have to suffer from other players. If the majority of your villages are in a single parish, you can easily have the stewardship if you so chose.

Parish Votes – The number of votes you get in a parish is 3 per day multiplied by the number of villages you have in the parish (and you can stockpile up to 7 days worth of votes, or 21 votes per village). So if you have 8 villages in a parish and other players have 2, you’ll be getting the lion’s share of the honour. Parish Honour – When the parish army attacks an AI castle, bandit camp, or wolf lair the honour is divided among the villages in the parish (assuming the target is within the parish’s honour circle). Ten villages all sending 500 troops to a parish can replenish those 500 peasants in 1 hour 40 minutes. Consider this: a single village at 5x peasants can fully fill a 500 troop vassal army in 16 hours and 40 minutes. However if all of your villages are near a single parish, you can ‘focus’ your troops to a single point. This can be an issue with the 1500+ troops it can take to destroy a mega wolf castle. Parish Army – Parishes have a limited supply of gold from tithes and goods sold to the parish. If all of your villages are in 1 parish however, each flag you capture ‘benefits’ all of your villages. A ballista maker or a tunnelor takes hundreds of catapults and thousands of other weapons to max out, and these 2 buildings are very important for the defense of your villages.įlags – Capturing flags can be a chore, as you are unable to attack a parish with vassal armies. A hunter’s guild, for example, takes 324,100 wood, 303,150 stone, 70,000 iron, and 7,750 pitch to fully upgrade. At the end of the day, the only person you can truly rely on for donations is yourself. If you place all your villages in a single parish however, everything you donate effects all of your villages. The majority of the parishes I encounter have very little in the way of donations, as everyone is a freeloader and leaves the donations to others. The difference between a developed parish and a garbage parish is huge. Tightly packed villages in 1 or 2 parishesĭonations – You only have a single parish to donate to.
