legacy

[tenser]

How do you cash in legacy?
I always respawn when dead, so do I have to play the game to end of main quest?
I'd like some button to retire and start over with more legacy.

You have to start a new game, you choose when you make your character/class

it will save current legacy status?
I also have no idea how you take over towns and become a sultan.

you have to siege a town, then when you win, start a new faction. At least, that's when you are factionless.

Yeah you earn points each playthrough depending on what you do, and Sultan is a specific class you have to choose it when you start.

You can take over any town and outpost sieging it, but only sultan gets its own custom one

what if i joined a faction? so that town micromanagement and diplomacy works only with 1 class?

Diplomacy works with all classes, they can also start or join their own factions. I haven't joined one yet though, so can't say how that works.

But for creating your own faction its a popup when you win a siege, then everyone else is at war with you.

what about main quest when you have to make everyone sign a treaty, if i start faction I won't be able to talk to them? Also how to beat 1st town? I tried and had like 50 strength and they had 174 with reinforcements, how do I start?

If you really want to try town management, i'd start a new game with Sultan, they get a lot of money and resources to recruit good troops right at the start as well. Sultan also starts at peace with everyone, so you don't have to worry about relations for the start.

he also has access to diplomacy/tactics? is it far to the end from that sign a treaty part? maybe i should finish first game, or should i reset now?

also how much you need to recruit a hero? like 100 favor? i still have just my shaman and noone else

Yeah all classes do. You would benefit from finishing, you'll probably get more legacy points for your next game as well.

For heroes I find its usually recruitable after 1 gift, but some require more work.

For the quest where you have to convince the others, if you just destroy all of the other factions you sign for them. It just happened for me; I had taken every town in the game for my own created faction, and when I got to that quest it just let me sign my name for all 5 other factions. "Well, I own the lands these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ used to, so I guess I say yes to peace."

Also, you can make peace with other factions. You can bribe them with money, or do quests for them. I had an ally for much of my play-through.

you can still talk to them if you start a faction. They will still sign even if they hate your guts, but you have to do a quest and/or fight them 1v1 first.

I don't know how relations with them affects how hard a task they will give you, but the one leader who was kind of friendly with me still got me to do a quest for him.

On the lower left corner there's a button where you can see legacy points.

When you start a new game, it will count the highest legacy points you had in any playthrough.

The max points in your first playthrough is 440, +20 for every 1 subsequent playthrough which unlock 1 difficulty level when finish them, supposedly there's no limit to how many times you can do it

what happens if you take longer then 180 days? and how exactly you get legacy for town? I did it for my faction and got nothing [faction I joined]

Nothing happens in the first playthrough, but from the tooltip you only get extra 20 in higher difficulties if you beat the story in 180 days. It's extra 20 for each extra difficulty level.
