Kraken High Tide change

[sunnytater]

So I've played a couple maps now as the new Kraken, and I'm having some trouble keeping up my spectral warrior production due to needing the wyrd to populate my clan -- I find that if I stop my Wyrd production to produce ghosts, it takes forever and puts me so far behind in terms of population (and therefore progress) in the early game when the high tide makes a huge difference. Am I missing something in producing ghosts faster / an alternative way?

[kisejiji]

not sure if this can be called a good way but so far this is how i do it for faster specter production

• make do with the 1st free specter and after sacrificing it, wait for a bit until pop goes up
  
• build 2-3 (or more as needed) empty horgr than what u actually use to increase specter cap. so far i've only built around 4 or 5, and put norns in only 1 or 2 of them
  
• if possible, rush for 2 valks (bcs each of them gives -3 wyrds until they die)
  
• by the time pop is around ~20, wyrd should be pretty low, turn them to villagers or whatever, should get around -5 wyrd (depends on how many high tide zones u have if u have the near sea spirit tech)
  
• mass spam specter for whatever

edit: u might want to delay getting near the sea spirit tech if u want to reliably produce spectral warriors early on, but you'll probably need quite a few norns and traders until then

Is there a way to get the +1 building slot? I tried High Tide on my starting square, but the building cap was kept at 5.

One of the key points of Kraken was to keep things very packed by the sea, and the mechanics seems to be completely off now. It can also happen that I'm missing a point.

Ok, so apparently the extra build slot does work from 801AD, so there is probably one more mechanical element I did miss.

The +1 building slot from high tide is from lore. Near the Sea Spirit.

how do you make zones high tide now? first time playing since update and i cant find anything in any tooltip?

[Soho]

There's an active ability on any spirit warrior that sacrifices it to make the tile it occupies a high tide zone
