Base Location

[Hauler Bob]

Any locations on where to build the second/main base? Minus the one you gota start near the hunter camp.

Was thinking of building a base by the lake, near the second city.

Near to a road is honestly what I'd say is the most important. Near a road, and relatively flat. Road so you can build a sign post for fast travel. (They gotta be near roads) And you and your villagers get a movement and stamina use bonus while on the road. I chose the crossroads south of Hearndean cause there's a few branching roads there to build around, and people tend to favor using the road than walking off it.

Beim ersten Start habe ich mein Hauptlager gleich Südlich der Stadt „Haerndin“ auf dem Flachen Gebiet aufgebaut. Was sich im laufe der Missionen jedoch erwies ist der Ort ist Zwar flach ABER zu beginn KEINE gute Wahl. Also habe ich meinen erst beginn im Spiel dazu genutzt welche Ressourcen liegen wo und vor allem welche werden zu beginn am Häufigsten zu benötigt.

Wichtig waren eben kurze Lauf Wege, Schilf, Gestein, ein Gebiet was Flach ist aber nicht gleich zu beginn nötig ist wenn man es eben auch abholzen kann für den Start ist das zweitrangig zu beachten.

Da Schilf eines der wichtigsten Rohstoffe zu beginn ist war mir Schnell klar es sollte nahe eines See/Gewässer Liegen, Gesteins vorkommen sollten auch nicht allzu weit weg liegen, aber entscheidend war eben schnell an Schilf zu gelangen. Daher viel meine Wahl auf den Hang am Weg zum/zur „Hütte des Verbannten Handerkers führt, nördlich des „Wolfslager“.
Hier habe ich zu beginn die ersten Gebäude am Weg direkt gebaut und Südlich also Westlich vom See Abgeholzt um dort Spätere Gebäude Platzieren zu können. Dank der Missionen die einem Recht früh im Spiel ein weiteres Wichtiges Objekt erklären ist es für mich einer der guten Start Orte den Reisen ist ja nicht das Problem. Ressourcen sind da eher ein Problem und Schilf ist eben eine wichtiger Rohstoff. Flachs,Hanf usw. liegt auch nicht allzu weit weg da es ja Westlich gelegen vorkommen gibt.

Ich bin gespannt wo ihr euch zu zum Start niedergelassen habt.

When I first started, I set up my main camp just south of the town of “Haerndin” on the flat area. What became apparent during the course of the missions is that the location is flat BUT NOT a good choice to begin with. So I used my first start in the game to find out which resources are where and, above all, which ones are needed most often at the beginning.

What was important was short running paths, reeds, rocks, an area that is flat but is not necessary right from the start if you can cut it down for the start, this is of secondary importance.

Since reed is one of the most important raw materials to begin with, it quickly became clear to me that it should be near a lake/body of water, and rocks shouldn't be too far away, but the crucial thing was to get to reeds quickly. That's why I chose the slope on the way to the "Hut of the Exiled Handerker", north of the "Wolf's Camp".
At the beginning I built the first buildings directly on the path and cut them down to the south and west of the lake in order to be able to place later buildings there. Thanks to the missions that explain another important object to you quite early in the game, it is one of the good starting places for me because traveling is not the problem. Resources are more of a problem and reed is an important raw material. Flax, hemp, etc. are not too far away as they can be found in the west.

I'm curious where you settled down to start.

Happy Travel

first one should be in the general area inbetwen the first 3 towns near watter just so you have acces to all the basic resources + add small outposts just for specific resourcess that end up further from the enemies (just so they dont get targeted by raids or something

secondary base(s) in my opinion should be next to the bridge(s) over the river that lead into the lvl4 southern areas , this way after you destroy all the bandit camps in the north all raids will need to cross the bridge(s) creating nicely defensive funnels

i propably dont recommend settling in the southern lands since there are hard bandits, it may not sound as problem but when your villagers go gathering around they would be constantly attacked by high level bandits
i personally treat the south as my army expedition lands to get some nice big engangements even without going after the enemy camps, also helps with carrying all the iron back to base

sure you can do the fast travell method but that feels too lame for me :D

built my first town near the road and by the lake to the south in some flat open land. Very good spot and bandits do not stop by too often. they usually go around.

[RetroGrade]

I built directly south of starting town location in that open field and it seems to have evything i need, to later make this an outpost and move to a better location.

if you walk around with he personal shack it also gives you a meter of how good the resources are int he area. The areas recommended by everyone here all have a high rating from the personal shack. and then yea next to water and a road, boom done.
