Bandit camps/Animal lairs

[Threatx]

So i have 2 problems with my current playthrough

1 there is a animal lair in the middle of my empire.I can clearly see it on the map yet i cannot destroy it, sometimes it lets me send troops but after the animal groups are destroyed nothing happens the runis remain and within weeks my traders are being mauled by the hundreds of lynx's over and over again.

2nd is the bandit camps ive scouted the whole of england cannot find a single one but as soon as my troops leave the area magic bandits appear and destroy everything.

So my questios are can i destroy animal lairs and do bandit camps exist or do bandits just spwan in the fog of war.

thanks in advanced good game so far slowly making money from trading (while watching the ai with 5k troop battles on the map lol)

For the animal lairs: After you kill the animals around it, your units will be idle. Just click on the ruins or cave again and it will be demolished. It may eventually respawn though, I think.

For the bandit camp: yes, such a bandit camp exists. They do not show up with a golden line or anything like it, however, unlike things such as commodity piles, tents, camps, caves, ruins and other things like that. This makes bandit camps hard to spot, but they definitely do exist. Just zoom in a bit and look for any buildings that may be used as bandit camp, and if you hover your cursor over it, it'll say "Bandit camp". The longer you wait with destroying a bandit camp, the more defenders it'll have - and thus the harder it'll be to destroy, so keep that in mind.

Good luck! Bandits and animals have so far screwed up both of my two playthroughs, entirely ruining my economy.

Yeha I thought it was kind of frustrating and a little funny, that my traders in south Norway, was beeing attacked by animals spawning in north Denmark. They actualy crossed the ocean to get me. :)

I did send troops in to kill them, but I found no way of destroying the cave, and it seams they just respawn after a while.

Yah i found the bandit camps on the island above scotland yet the bandits where attack traders in london lol regardless it seems the camps/lairs respawn rather quickly plunking down a defence tower seemed to solve the problem though:)

I have unlimited bears from a ruins I cannot destroy

Once you crush the bears build a watch tower or two around the lair and man it with archers, it wont show up again.

Same. And they take my entire army to destroy. Was thinking of setting a guard tower right on top of it... o_o

That works? I was going to build one just to keep them busy and away from my carts!

Hi everybody.
Thanks to Emperor to pointing this out once more. Unfortunately this hint drowned a little during the day.
As said, if players have the resources and the development available, the can build watchtowers, which must be manned with archers. The watchtowers do not only guard your "borders" for incoming opponents, but as well will help a lot when it comes to "neutral" units, such as bandits and bears.
