Build Advanced Outpost

[Setzco46]

How do you build an advanced outpost? The AI does it all the time I just got a pickup saying next advanced outpost FREE but can't figure out how to built one?

Are you playing as Corrino ? Conquest mode or Skirmish ?

[Shogun]

click on a empty village, there will be a button near the usual capture button.

try to put it near the enemy because its free and its a great way to stop them early.

- then you also need to place the building down like a regular building.

Playing as Atreides in conquest mode. there is no button but the peaceful annexation? all of the other players have done it in at least one mission and I've found that next advanced outpost is free thing twice at least. just can't figure out how to actually build it?

Multiple Outposts are only available to House Corrino afaik.

(If they reach 5k hegemony and pay 3k "gold" & 100 authority)

Advanced Outposts are your Conquest Mode stand-in for a Capital Building. You already start the game with it.

The quest reward is telling you basically the next building improvement, (even if it's to replace an existing one) that you make with it will be free of resource cost, note that prerequisites such as technology unlocks still apply.

Corrino, as Lonesome Wolf mentioned is an exception, everyone else is restricted to their starting outpost. This is the due to their tall playstyle really focusing down them building only around their HQ as everything else is super costly and inefficient. Deploying an additional HQ gives them better reach over the map, their HQs are also a little more restrictive in slots to also balance the advantage.

Hope that clarifies things.

your information is INCORRECT. I've seen the game create advanced outpost for EVERY FACTION except Atreides as I'm playing them.

Incorrect? It's not a building anyone can create manually. Literally, you lose the advanced outpost, you lose the game. That's the requirement for domination victory if achieved normally, the other being assassination. You start with it.

Hover over the icon of your capital building soon as you load into any conquest map, and look at what the building is called, do the same for any enemy faction you see, if you still don't believe me.

Factions that have this same exact building are Harkonnen, Smugglers, Ecaz, and Vernius. Corrino have their Imperial Base (frigate). Fremen have one called a Sietch instead, all of these function the same way in terms of purpose.

As far as I know he’s not incorrect…

I’m assuming you still haven’t figured out how to create an advanced outpost? Thatd probably be because it’s not a mechanic for anyone but Corrino lol

This is a screenshot showing an ADVANCED OUTPOST for House Ecaz in Conquest mode

All factions in Conquest mode get 1 Advanced Outpost (more if you are Corrino) - it is for all intents and purposes your HQ building
