Whats the old hag for?

[rolypoly]

Hi guys, I wasn't able to find this in any guides, but what does the old hag do? I can pay her 1 coin for her to sit on my horse behind me, but she don't do nothing, what's the point of her?

There are three different NPCs of 'that kind' - all of them have something to do with the towers. Ride to a fully built tower (three archers) and experiment :)

So rude respect your elders

The old lady will upgrade an archer tower to a balista style tower that uses one builder.

There is a old baker, who will upgrade your archer tower into a furnace to cook bread. Once the bread is cooked, it will attract new settler/units/slaves/guys from the camps for you. They will run to your base and eat the bread.

Finally, there is an old man, who will upgrade your archer tower to have one extra knight.

They are called hermits have some respect

As for the bakery, can the bread attract the beggars to come no matter how far they are from the camp? Do they become citizens or not after they eat the bread?

Yes the lost souls will come no matter how far they are and when they eat bread they stay the same but wait around or eat another piece so stay near the bakery

Of note - they will continually eat your bread until you recruit them. When they eat the last piece of bread, you will need to bake more to attract others. So it in your best interest to recruit them even if you're not sure yet what job to put them in.
You can even recruit them while they are on their way running to the bread, saving you time from having to run to wherever you built your bakery.
