Improve Guidance

[Witterquick EQ]

I just wanted to drop a suggestion to please improve the guidance for new players. It took me forever to figure out how to make both a manor house and a tax office considering the guidance implied I'd just add a tax office on to the manor house. It just wasn't intuitive. But I do want to say that I love the game otherwise so far!

really it comes down to needing a text line in the popup for the guidance that says 'click the + button to add a tax collector sub building to your manor' and it'd be fine, that seems to be the step people are getting stuck on

Is that better than building a separate manor as a tax office? What is the advantage of a sub building versus a separate building?

The manor is a bit unique because it allows you to make individual buildings like watchposts and tax offices, and they work. All the other monuments need to be subbuildings of the same overall structure in order to work properly. It's not that it's better, or that it's even really necessary, its just supposed to be teaching you about adding subbuildings for later when you make your tavern, monestary, and castle.

With the manor you pretty much HAVE to make freestanding watchposts and tax offices scattered all over in a large town, otherwise places are too far away to get patrolled or their taxes collected. However, the monestary REQUIRES everything to be a sub-building of the same individual monestary in order to work, because the monks/nuns living in the dorms only visit and work at the sub-buildings in the same monestary.

Interesting - thanks for the feedback!

Well, a second manor house (with a tower from the tutorial anyway) costs a good bit of planks that are not as plentiful at that stage in a first game. I get that the intention is to have multiple tax offices (based on a load screen tip). Just at that point, planks are harder to come by. Sometimes, I don't yet have enough workers to have more than one sawmill at that point. But I LOVE the game! It was worth the wait.
