too many problems not enough advisors?

[tm0Lif3]

this is kind of a bummer. i have to pull back my advisors (in the midst of research) and then the game deliberately pops out problems which you need to address in a short time or suffer penalty to your kingdom.

are there ways to recruit more advisors?

You can get up to 10 advisors, one for each stat. Unfortunately, the problems are somewhat random, and if you are unlucky, before you have all the advisors, you can pull four problems that need the same advisor (because you have yet to get the alternative advisors, I assume)

It happened to me and my wife - in one month, we pulled four problems that needed the divine advisor. He solved two, ignored one, and for some reason, the fourth one went away, without any penalty. So it was not too bad.

You must keep in mind that most ignored problems are not terrible - some have penalties as trivial as -1 to Culture. On the other hand, I have seen -5 to divinity, and that was pretty bad. But at the end of the day, you can recover from it - by spending some BP on some buildings, or simply because the adviser got the bonuses from the projects he actually solved.

But you have to really guess, sometimes - which problem sounds worse.

I think it is important to prioritize.

I do not know what the best way is. It seems to me that the most important thing is to get a lot of advisors, and rank them up. We mostly adventure when there is a quest that needs to be solved with fire and sword, by the party. In every chapter so far, I had had a period when all areas are explored, all quests seem to be handled, and all I'm doing is building and ranking up.

Seems to work fine.

i'm still beginning of ancient curse part 3. i'm basically trying to clear as much as i can on the world map. i believe i cover quite abit on the world map up to the point i was wondering if there's going to be much stuff to do.

i haven't started the DLC yet though. one thing i notice was that.. most areas are really small and only have 1 monster to it and that's that. i do have some random ambushes but i handled them well. i'm on normal by the way. i'm considering upping my difficulty to challenging or hard in the next one.

are there not much areas with big map that has much to do? a point to note i'm still level 9 but i believe i have explore quite abit though.

There are two types of events, Problem and Opportunity.

Problem must be prioritize, but Opportunity can be cancel or even ignore if needed. Also, always check the due date.

It's a fu c king joke. Way too many projects and no advisors. Where am I supposed to get advisors because I have 5 and I need at least 20 more yesterday. There's 10 projects waiting, I've missed a bunch (grrr) and all my advisors are busy for the next month or two. WTF!?!?!?

Rank up community, loyalty, military and divine to rank 3 + 60pts to unlock new advisors.

It's basically the main main quest call An ancient curse part x. We have to clear Bald hilltop every chapters when the timer has 14days or less. After that, the next chapter will generally start soon after.

If you just got the ''warning'' you probably got a few more days to pass before that 14days deadline.

ok, thanks ....

Turned my kingdom management from @#$!@#$!!!!!#R! to an enjoyable break from adventuring.

You don't need a mod, just set it to "Auto" in the game if you are not able to manage both exploring and the management part.

Kingdom Resolution mod ftw.

I mean, sure, it's not the greatest implementation ever, but it's very simplistic and easy to deal with.
Maybe it's the fact that I play plenty of 4X and strategy games, but I never saw the management aspect as bothersome.

I feel the same. Until Chapter 5 I was able to do every single Problem and Opportunity card available and during Chapter 5, on which many people warn is the hardest part for your Kingdom and a usual point on which it fails I.. saw nothing major. Not gonna spoil anything, but as soon as THAT starts, you can put an end to it in 3ish days in-game time by just exploring THAT side of the map and finding the 3 needed areas. Done. The Problem cards regarding that literally stop. Only way I can see people failing that is if they completely neglected ranking up their advisers or just sat on the kingdom managing tab for months while their kingdom crumbled around them instead of going out to actually solve the problem.

Anyway, to the OP: Ignore the curses thing completely. It serves only one single purpose in the game: To unlock the secret ending. That's it. But to get said ending you have to pass certain skills checks during conversations throughout the game plus taking specific choices. So stumbling into it blindly is extremely, massively rare. So unless you want to have a guide telling you exactly what to do, then just ignore the curses research. After that, just rank up your advisers during the downtime period between Chapters/Major events. That's pretty much it. Claim regions when needed then build a town if only to build a teleportation circle, it will save you tons of time in traveling.
