Ox died in new claimed territory.

[Charlie412]

Hi, I'm loving the game so far but wonder if anyone can help, I claimed a new territory but raiders killed the ox so they cant build anything, they also destroyed all the burgage plots so I have mass homelessness. I also only have 5 wealth so cant buy another for the hitching post. Do I have to just leave the settlers in that area to die or can the settlement be saved somehow.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

There doesn't seem to be any mechanic for transferring Oxen between locations even within a region so probably isn't a way to send one from your main region to replace it in this scenario either.

I'd try to get the silver to buy a new one by any means you can, if there happens to be a bandit camp you can clear that's quick cash, otherwise I assume you have a trading post by the time you're settling a second (or more) region, so what can you sell that you wouldn't normally for some quick cash? Some brief shortage of something simple that can be traded without needing a trade route to salvage a new settlement would be worth it IMO.

Hi,

Cheers for the advice, I'll wait for a bandit camp and try that way. I forgot to build a trading in that region before the raiders came so cant make money via trade I'm afraid.

I'm actually an idiot and forgot that trading wealth goes to the region the trade happens in, and at present I don't think there's a way to use your personal ie global wealth to do things like buying an Ox.
Which is a little dumb because part of the reason for having personal wealth as a lord is being able to use it wherever you feel will get the best returns for you, so if that meant paying for a new Ox out of our own pocket we should be able to do that, but that may well be something just not implemented yet \o/

No problem. thanks for the advice again.

Conquered a new region...
Rest of the regions are under off-map opponent control.
2 months into the new region a random group of raider appeared out of nowhere and sacked the new region. Killed the ox. Can't figure out a way to get a new one over there. Hope this is fixed ASAP.

This is exactly what happened to me. I just ended up starting a new map. Maybe your region might get "taken over" by the AI opponent; then you can take it back and resettle it but I havn't played enough to know if that's the case.

I am posting an I Have the Same Problem post here in case the devs are reading. I am really stuck with the second settlement. No trading post, no ox, no raiders (every region is occupied) no way to get any money to buy another ox.

Well somehow an ox has respawned, but too late. All but 4 people are dead and the approval rating is at like 15% so no new families are joining. I am eeking along though!

Maybe for the time being when starting new settlements we could just build about 10 hitching posts that way at least one ox will survive :D
