Destroy and rebuild Manor

[AngerIsAnEnergy]

I've built my Manor in precisely the wrong spot. It is located over the ONLY area of barley fertility.

I want to move the Manor building so destroying it and rebuilding.

If I do that will I lose the retinue I've already created - 12/12? I guess I'll lose the tax and tithe until I rebuild, fine with that. I hope I keep my wealth and influence - must do, right? No reason why they should go.

But the retinue? Remain or removed to the default 5/12?

TIA

So, I just tried to test this and I get a pop up saying "asking_person_inside_to_leave" and they won't leave, even on max time.

(Edit: I've moved a Manor in a previous game, but that was before I spent any resources on the Retinue or the Garrison Tower. But I'll tell you this, I DID delete the Garrison Tower in the Castle Planner and kept all 24 of my retinue. There is some bugginess with their numbers on the card, but they all rally when I deploy them.)

I had that pop up with a house - i just clicked demolish again and it did it the second time.

Yeah, I tried spamming demolish. No go on the Manor.

Thanks for the responses I'm just going to remove it as replacing 7 retinue (if they get lost) - 350 gold is cheaper in the long run than continually importing ale.

Perhaps I get lucky and the buggy retinue number helps me? Bugs for the win :-)

I demolished my manor without losing my retinue.

However, once rebuilt, the servants would not come back, so my retainers were cold. I had to fix it by moving the manor building ever so slightly to force it to rebuild and keeping my retinue disbanded (just in case that was what caused the problem).

The rebuild was fine, retinue remains intact 12/12

Yep, the servants are homeless. I'll try your suggestion of moving the manor slightly causing a rebuild.

[Kedryn]

Good to hear. I wanted to test if retinue being rallied during build completion that caused the bug, but every time I'd load a save, more bandits would spawn; so I guess I know how to farm influence and cash now.

Glad to see I'm not crazy, though. ;)

i also just learned that residents of my manor do not come back after i destroy it and build a new one somewhere else. quite annoying :(

Just nudge it a bit in the castle planner, then hit "Commit".

ok now i know what you mean, i was confused what to do exactly by 'moving the manor building' - i forgot you could change it in the castle planner. thanks for the hint!
anyway, in the meantime two new families occupy the new manor and the 7 people from the old manor still freeze and stand around, even after i built new burgs, so that's kinda disappointing..

But what if the servants froze to death and just aren't there anymore? My retinue stands outside and no new families are occupying the manor.
