Allow market stalls?

[loerelau]

Hi,

Still love this game.... The new feature as well.

A couple of stupid questions....

Allow or not? White or yellowish? Can't it be red and green? Which is which?

For which buildings is this most beneficial?

Thanks!

Yellow means it is turned on.
Granaries and Storehouses are best for this as those workers have carts that transport 10 at a time.
Put them right next to your market so they have a short walk. There are some buildings you can allow to make stalls (mainly those that craft clothing items) if they are very close to your market. Clothing is consumed VERY slowly, so they don't really need carts to keep up with it.

Thank you! I'm always quite happy with yellow, so was not sure! :)

Another question? Assigning an ox? Will it assign the one that is closest? Have the feeling that the one that is on the other side of the map is assigned....

This I'm not 100% on. I would assume it would be the closet hitching post/stable with an available ox. As such, I try to place my hitching posts next to logging camps where the logs they haul are stored. The exception would be the hitching posts for horses my trader uses.

Important note regarding horses. Make sure all your current hitching posts are full before you build the one for your horses, to make sure they get assigned to the hitching post you place next to your trading post.

Nope, it's not the closest one for sure.
From my obsevations, they'll be assigned in the order you bought them!

If you get an oxen from far away, you can
1) unassign him from the building you wanted to assign him to
2) Then temporarily assign an oxen to a lumberjack's camp or whatever.
It will get the oxen you've just unassigned
3) assign an oxen to the building you wanted, again
4) repeat until the right oxen gets assigned to the right building
5) unassign the temporarily "stored" oxen from your luberjacks

Worked well for me. Also, renaming the Oxen like
Lumberjack, Farm 1, Farm 2, Build 1,....
helps to keep the overview.

Thank you for clearing this up. I should have known, since everything else in the game is based on build order. Much appreciated.

Sure thing ;)
You've also played MD, right?
Great to see again a few people from there over here

I assume you are referring to Medieval Dynasty. It was quite the disappointment for me as it presented as a survival RPG, but survival was trivial and the story could be ignored and had no real game impact. It amounted to a super simplistic and grindy village sim, which this game is so much better at.

Thank you. Closest (of giving options) would make more sense, but good to know and there is a workaround! :)

Market stall mechanic is such a gimmick.Why not just let us to add workers to the market so they do transporting and selling.
