Is a Guard House or Stable more practical for the DLC?

[Frosty Mist]

I want to recruit Matthew and Fritz. It seems privaslavitz is in the middle of the forest isolated, you could argue there is a use for a guardhouse but how practical is it really? Aside from incase it gets attacked in the coming story.

I want it to be as self sustaining as possible.

I built the stable, because I met the NPC, who wanted to work there and found out IF YOU WANT THE BEST (NEW) HORSE IN THE GAME, you have to do that ... but I will not let my loved long friend horse pass :-)

PS: I don't think it is much difference , between all the buildings, it is near the same , maybe it depends if you find the proper NPCS for that buildings ...

Definately stables, you don't want a watch tower because you're certainly nothing with it. It gives you a small arena, ok but that's basically it and there are no raids/attacks from cumans or bandits so the guard tower is pretty useless in my opinion.

guard tower increases the tavern income.

You said it increases the tavern's income. So in total is it more profitable for the settlement to have it in combo with tavern or stables? I want a privaslavitz that's as 'self sustaining' as possible in the end.

But the Stables make more money, even with the tavern bonus.

Max revenues are identical. Realistically, there should be a policing entity, i.e. guardhouse, in the community; maybe the rat house takes care of that. But the stables has a saddler option, which might be the long-awaited answer to the question: how do you repair saddles?

[Blastaz]

The stables makes more money, and allows you to invite a groom for more money still, and allows you to get a new horse better than Jenda.

The guardhouse allows you another place to train.

[fandiz]

u can train with 4 kinds of training patners from beginner to veteran with 4 kinds of armor settings
very usefull to practice combos and so ...so its not useless its much more fun than a stable

I don't see how the horses in that stable are any better really. The certainly aren't faster.

Ahoi,

I think this is the most difficult decision of the new DLC - From the Ashes.

I'll went with the Guardhouse (reason = arena and potential future updates).

If you still don't know how to decide, I've made a comparision on YouTube.

If you really only look for income, then stable is your bet - mostly because it seems no expert is available for the Guardhouse.

Update: it isn't. Sadler has some interesting extra horse armour.

Advantage of the guardhouse, meanwhile: the arena offers more flexible training options than Capt. Bernard.

None of the new horses are as good as Jenda. Jenda is still the champ.

I read in the official forums that building the guardhouse gives you access to a new bow with 82 base dmg. I haven't bought the DLC myself yet, waiting for patch 1.7 first.

[Darth Revan]

the guard house gives you the best bow of the game as StormhawkV said correctly and it let you train in the arena and let awesome guards patrole your village.

thats the reason why i personally have build it and always will build it. (mainly because of the guards, not the bow although i have to say the bow is awesome with its demage)

the main difference are the items you get, do you want the new best shield of the game or the new sword, the new best bow and trainng ground or the new best horse and horse armor (you still get the basic new horse armor from the smith regardless if you build the stables or not, but the stables offers another one which is exclusive to the stables and better than the ones you always can get)
