Stuck with new Settlement (2nd one) - Villagers died and it cant be repopulated.

[Duchenkuke]

Hey all,

I have a nice main village and conquered new Land for the first time with influence points -
I built that first camp and started building but lost my villagers during the winter.

Now I dont have settlers in that 2nd area and can not assign people from my main village.
What to do now? I think I am stuck - deleting everything didnt help.

Now I basically have a dead and useless settlement and I can't do anything with it.
Has someone had this as well? Please let me know if there is something I can do.

Can you delete the initial settlers camp you placed and pay for a second one?

[Duchenkuke]

Sadly not, I tried that. I get a message saying that the camp can only placed in "unclaimed" land or something similar.

That's too bad, how did you manage to lose all your settlers?
Were any of the houses built? Unless there's a random event that allows a passing family to settle there you might have to forget about that area.

Yea I built everything except housing so they died due to cold weather. It really is my fault but I didnt expect that I cant repopulate.

Bit late for now, but for future reference the initial settler camp can be upgraded to a work camp. This counts as housing for the initial 5 families, when you have enough houses built just delete it and they will move into the new places.

yea I saw that afterwards as well^^ Thank you

This happened to me too, but I'm not sure what I was supposed to do...

I took over a territory and there were a lot of dead bodies from the battle. The first thing I built was a corpse pit to deal with them but the bodies caused approval to tank immediately. Before the month was over all the villagers had left.

I hit the same problem and had to go back and restart the territory claim . Best way to deal with this is wait until the dead bodies disappear before you start the settlement.

This happened to me today. Kind of a bummer. it was my 5th territory on a great play through. an area that had the best farming potential for the entire map. The initial settlers were all killed by a single raider (???). One single raider spawned and killed the 5 settlers. now the region is simply unusable. I can't demolish the settlers camp or make a new one.

My suggestion on this issue would be to allow a second instance of the settlers camp if the population has reached zero.

Loving the game!
