OK how do you even progress now?

[Kapitänleutnant Kerensky]

So I liberated first village - working to try to find the correct npcs for the stupid jobs since they made them restricted - nothing in first village at all that I need to get laborer

I go to Padstow and the brigands are all red to me....instant KOS.......went to the SE corner village and sure enough they are all red to me....

So how am I supposed to progress to recruit more people? None of the other towns will allow me to enter now....my book seller is no longer available too which really sucks

Is there a way to remove that KOS status (I see the Bandit thing icon say 10 on screen shield)

Any help/advice?

yeah game was not ready for t2. They limit progression at t2 where you cant progress with out a cheat

[Kapitänleutnant Kerensky]

Well.....I can build more village houses for the +2 population but I have no idea if that gives me recuitable people and if that also allows for perhaps specialists to be spawned

Nope you need special npcs to progress like 4 new npcs but the town you lib only has 1

The Labourer you are looking for is in a village to the south east. Its a harder village to defend against. The current system of putting the apprentice villagers spread across the map is a nightmare since you are more than likely running T1/early T2 geear and trying to liberate the harder villages is a real chore.

haters would say "skill issue",but aside of this it is good as it is. the game was designed like that,so that we have some obstacles to overcome. this makes things interesting. when i want to get thrown everything at me without any effort,then i would play farmerama or something similar.
a lot of games in the last ten years where made so easy that even the last retarded person could rush things within a few days and then they showed up in the forums to complain about no content and what not.

Yeah no cvontent, but i blame the developers causing that issue themselves. Take for example World of Warcraft. When that game came out even the hard core no life players still took 6-8mths to cap out, no its like a day for a casual player.
This gives developers an impossible task of keeping up with content. New content should take at least 2 mths to do, new games at least 6 mths, giving time for stuff to be done.

This was an example but it tends to be like that for every single game thesedays. Skull n Bones a week or less, then run the same handful of stuff (that you could do from early on), Hogwarts legacy 1 week to fully 100% the game (all achivements and collectables), 2 days for the last of us pt1, a week for days gone, 2 days for Resident Evil Village, 2 days for Dredge (yep i played on friends account and thats my record for finishing and 100% them, except RE-village, i missed 1 weapon and you could not go back once passed a certain point) but i am gonna say 100% as everything else was done.

The last 20yrs they have either become way too hard, or way too easy, their has not been an inbetween, you would have to go pre-2000 for that.

you are absolutely right with that. its difficult to find a game who met the sweet spot these days. i hate games that are way to short because i want to get the maximum amount of playtime for my invested money. and a game who only can deliver 20h til the end is not worth it for me. for that reason i mostly play mmorpgs or some "survival" games. but it turned out,that some devs dont give a damn about your lifetime (looking at you *Myth of Empires*). they design the game in a way that it is a neverending grind,to artificial expand the playtime. in the end you do the same stuff every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ day for a tiny bit of progression. you feel like running in a hamster wheel. my gosh,since when started gaming to be a job after the regular irl-job?!

Good points about the difficulty. I defiantly don't want it to change to easy mode. Maybe a difficulty slider/setting so people who want it can still progress without getting discouraged

Those saying skill issue are cheesing the brigands and winning that way . I'd rather use my troops like the game intended.

same here,i dont cheese in any game. if i am not able to take enemies out the way it was intendet to,then i am simply still to weak. no matter if its equipment wise or brainwise.

Well...ended up taking Pastow since they were hostile anyways.....that fight was easy enough but the recourse from the bandits after I put up the belltower HOLY CRAP!!!!! I had 9 toons of decent skills with max tier 1 armour and various good weapons.....I came out of that fight with only 4 left standing haha....we fought I think 8-10 of them.....and their archers were nasty.....I can only imagine what the takeover on Barstow or whatever its called in SE corner will be like when I put up the belltower.....I managed to get my rep to 4k but seems the toons now are all going for 1500-2000 each so if I am lucky I can get 2 more toons.....I wish I had the rough hide/leather - I managed to find 2 each in the reprisal attack which was awesome, but I need a ton more so I can research better weapons and armour - at least to almost get the same as what I am facing....these guys are all decked out in tier 2 decent stuff, so it hurts a heck of a lot getting smacked by a morningstar or whatnot :P

[Kapitänleutnant Kerensky]

I may do another round of two of taking my merry band and whacking any bandits I find on the roads.....good quick kills and easy rep....although my hunters are getting me some good reps with the wolf, deer and boar wall mounts - at 100 to 125 ish rep those are nice to craft, place and destroy.....quick points and my guys are constantly out there hassling the local wildlife - although I get the down message a bit often when they wander to padstow area where the boars are and get mauled :P

How did you deal with the reprisal brigand attack when you built the belltower in farnsworth? What was your set up and army?

[Kiban]

First village give you blacksmith that you can research T2 helmet, shield. second town maybe give you woodman which research T2 bow, arrows. I prepare to liberty padtown go get t2. When i have t2 bow, bronze arrows next will be solo farworth, i scouted that town will give me larborer.
Padtown's guard still not attack me, unless other red brigand roaming around seen you and chase you in village, all brigrand in village turn red. i can snipe all of them but idk can i liberty that village later while it's no guard, so i chose reload and stay away from red brigands when they roaming near village, no village's guard care about me :)

[Kapitänleutnant Kerensky]

First village has: Apprentice Farmer, Apprentice Weaver, Apprentice Blacksmith, Expert Weaver and I believe an Expert Blacksmith as well in my game. That is why I figured the village houses might help since I was getting more pop than normal.....and I have at least 2 walking apprentice weavers in that village now....after I recruited the first one....In Padstow all I saw were Woodsmen and Carpenters and I think one Farmer maybe.....I have to look again to be sure.....so I am assuming that maybe just maybe some of these npcs are random and not set in stone.....I would also say check out your first village again just to be sure that npcs have not changed as I definitely saw that happen once it was liberated - again, cannot say if its due to +2 pop or not....but am about to finish another house there just to see if anything else pops up :)

Block the bridge to the east with fences and bow them behind the rocks with bowmen companions. Save scum
