Ruins?

[rezen1337]

So Chaos came in and wrecked my ♥♥♥♥. Is it possible to build back settlements from Ruins?

[Vain]

Yes.

[rezen1337]

How do I go about doing that?

[Sgt. Rock Coxler]

Move an army to the settlement. You'll need significant cash I believe.

[rezen1337]

Thanks!

it won't let me in my campaign. they took over one of my cities in my main provance, moved my forces there 10+ times, it just looks at me like I'm retarded.

Chaos destroyed 2/3's of the map, then died at my doorstep, so I have spent the last 200 turns colonising ruins. (in short, yes)

Make sure your stance is set to neutral! I had that problem and was confused for a short while. Hopefully this solves it!

Yeah that's what happened to me when I moved to one side of my empire and the Orks decided to screw me on the other :(

Another warning with rebuilding settlements is that, in addition to the money, I believe it also consumes a number of troops from all of your units. Or at least it did in my dwarf campaign.

Can confirm that it takes a large chunk of your troops (about 75%) to bring a city back. The number of troops taken seems to decrease the gold cost. With a full stack of of skeletons, my VC army was able to bring back kislev for about 1900.

Which is fine. You probably won't want to leave the baby city for the four turns it takes to replenish back up, but it was a nasty surprise since the first time it happened was when I was campaigning. Whoops.

Was a shock for me as well - thought I must've hit some attrition on the way without realising (was down in the Eastern Badlands at the time). Wasn't for a long while later that I realised you only suffer attrition by stopping in an area that causes it and remaining there when you end your turn.

Can the AI settle ruins? because i got too happy settling ruins and now i'm stretched too thin and broke. If the AI can't settle ruins i will just go back to a previous save and take my time slowly expanding.

[Mental™]

with relating to things being destroyed and turned in to a ruin. If this happens to an ally for example and they exist no more and i havent got them ticked off in my campaign checklist. Does that mean i cant complete the campaign?

I ruined two cities on the north from Skaeling (playing as empire) about 40 turns ago and Skaeling haven't rebuilt them despite having a full stack army in my lands now (sigh)

AI can resettle ruins, took out a Dwarf city, 30 turns later it's back as a level 3 city again :\

Going to make wiping out the Dwarfs hard considering I can't occupy any of their land ...

There is a mod for that. Alternately yes it is going to be harder, I think that was the point.
