Tribute never reaching outpost?
What happens if someone asking for tribute never will reach your outpost. Shek kingdom comes to me for tribute every week. But it looks like they got stuck on the map this time. Will they become hostile at some point cause the tribute never happened? Or am i just lucky and they can never ask again

i think they come and take 100 percent of your food once a week not sure. i keep my food in a packpack that is shared across all group members.

seems when groups come to your base they raid your food stores if you keep them in a basket.

Gods, is there ANY major faction in this world that is NOT a complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥? The Holy Empire and United Cities are both scummy slave holders and I can't stand them. I didn't have a whole lot of experience with the Shek and now you're telling me they demand tribute and steal my food? Great.

I settled in the Holy Nation teritory and have not had any issues. The attacks they send are pretty weak, and can be beat with a locked gate and two harpon gunners.

And those attacks are infrequent.

If your having standing issues I found kidnapping a citizen, knocking them out repeatedly and healing them back up increases your standing.

Sound weird that they would tribute

You can go in the Northern coast. Not a bad place to settle, no tributes to pay, lots of beast to hunt for meat and skins and the cannibals that raid you and give some good practise to your team.
Theres also the tech hunter that roam around this place and they are emptying my shop counter :)

Yea, I do like the Tech Hunters personally.

I guess Tech Hunter is best faction, you can hire bodyguard but smaller number than normal as well.

I dont know for sure, but the Shek demand Food only up to a certain "relation level".
The last time i settlet in their territory, was after i captured the Bugmaster to turn him in in Admag, which instantly makes you an ally to the kingdom (75 in the overview, i think). Krals Chosen showed up here and there, but the Kingdom never demanded food.

Settling in the north parts of the swamp straddling the borderlands is a good option, assuming you build your first building from your outpost in the swamp, the game will tag your outpost there. The hounds took AGES to show up and when they did, they asked me to sell some hashish for them. They threaten to come and kill you if you don't run drugs for them within the week, but they infrequently show up and only ask for 2,000 cats... which is nothing even early game, and practically couch change by the time your outpost is even remotely established.

Plus, when you settle in the borderlands/swamp area you can get a hold of every resource for your outpost, minus ariable land for growing greenfruit and cotton (not needed since you can grow rich, wheat, cactus, hemp and all the water you need). The only slight draw back is there is no good position for stone mining, best I found was 50%. I did a good bit of scouting and prospecting before I decided to settle, so there might be a better spot, but I love my outlaw borderland/swamp outpost between Squin and Shark.

Yeah that's how they tax people..... they don't steal it. They take it as compensation for you residing within their territory. If anything it's the second best option imo.

United Empires take a regular tax of cats.

Holy Nation expects you to attend Sunday prayers every Sunday with The Holy Flame in hand or else the Inquisition will smite your little outpost.
As long as them not arriving doesn't count as them being defeated then you won't get a follow up raid.

Eventually what I'm guessing will happen is the tribute round will time out and the game will tell you "Shek tribute round has ended." That or it will never time out and be on the way indefinitely.

If you get a message that the tribute round has failed or been defeated though, check the factions screen to see if a follow up raid is scheduled. I think those should only trigger if they are beaten in combat, which doesn't really happen to the shek on their own lands unless they run into scores of skin spiders down in bugmaster territory.

As for taking 100% of your food, they only take as much as they can carry. If you have a big enough stockpile they won't be able to take it all. Eventually I gave them the bugmaster to make them allies. It's a pretty tough hoop to jump through just to get them to stop flexing on you, but they are basically in love with you after that, as long as you aren't allied with another major faction.

That's not how it's work, if no one on the land, it's not their territory, as far as i am concerned, if anyone settle on land that no one hold territory, it's their territory, not belong to most powerful faction who didn't hold land in first place, often they spot outpost then they simple bully little outport, calming it's their territory but that is lie because they didn't settle that spot of land in the first place, so it's wasn't their territory to begun with.

P.S, basic they are stealing by using bigger power bully on little power, it's like bigger family of 10 come in and said to family of 2 said it's all thier,because they got bigger family.
