Large increase in renown costs for hiring people should be adjusted

[starman01]

Just as a suggestion, there shouldn't be such an high increase in costs. Not sure what actually triggers the increase, but i have now friend level in the three starting cities, I own around 5000 renown as currency, and my village has 9 people.

But now, even the more or less useless beggars (no skills, bad traits) cost me 1100 renown to hire. I think it's good when skilled people are expensive, but this strange way of "leveling" in cost doesn't make sense to me. Basing it upon peoples skill level would make more sense, i.e. just a multiplier for each skillpoint they actually have.

Otherwise there is no need to consider hiring the beggar if you need urgently people, when you can get skilled people for nearly the same price.

why is that a problem, since the good villagers cost the same as the bad? with growing population in your own village you are able to defeat more and more bandits or brigands which results in more renown. simple..

In my case, i have enough renown. But from a strategic point it doesn't make sense... Either save "money" for hiring good people, or spend less for less skilled people. That's the way it goes. Makes even more sense when you run out of renown, or can't just handle the bandits with your losses.

Why should I buy a fiat for the same money a porsche costs ?

i get your point, dont get me wrong. but still, just avoid the bad ones and you're fine :) when i wanna hire someone, it cost me over 4000 renown but i can easily kill groups of bandits and brigands

[starman01]

I agree. But it'just feels a bit off. I'm currently building an outpost for Tin Ore, and thought "meh, i'm not spending much renown for putting an excile worker here, better just take the beggar, it's enough"....

That's why this thoughts came up :)

Level them and expulse them you will get a lot of renow back to hire better one.

There is a mod on nexus that alters the hiring system. If you'd be willing to mod.

[starman01]

I'm always willing to mod :) I go check it. Afaik there can currently only be one mod active until modding support comes in ?

I meant his thread more as suggestion actually.

[Lucius Confucius]

You can have multiple mods according to my testing. As long as they don't interfere with each other.

Question : Do Bandits and Brigands actually respawn, or are bandits gone after all their camps are destroyed ?

[PHoenixOPHury]

Bandits and Brigands do respawn. As in you will continually get raids from bandits to your village and brigands reclamation parties to liberated villages. Bandit camps do respawn. Bandit raids come from the nearest bandit camp. Try to use travel signs a lot for getting around to the different bandit camps.
