Town Events

A simple list of all possible Town Events and their effects.

Introduction

"Hear ye, hear ye!"

Town Events are designed to add variety to the Hamlet over the course of a campaign. Upon returning from an expedition, there is a chance for a thematic event to trigger in town. The events only last one week.

Some of these events will be good, some will be bad and some will be really bad. Some of them will only happen after you complete certain quest, most will happen at random.

When an event is available, you can check it in the bottom menu of the Hamlet.

for brigand incursion the buildings don't get destroyed if you fail the guest, even if you just throw a level 0 scrub in and instantly retreat (you don't need to sacc if there's only 1 hero), ive done this twice so far

[PewienCzlowiek]

For events that give you heroes, you must take them from the event itself. It's weird that game dont tells it to player

[Dezb0]

Bois i have laying low event but i don't know how to use it can somebody help ?

[Weißer Wolf]

really useful thank you mate

[Lampros]

When were these Town Events introduced? I never saw them, but I haven't played in more than half an year ;)

[ErBaut]

So, anybody has defeated Vvulf on NG+?

[Macdennis]

The correct plural for Highwayman is Highwaymen not mans

[Biggest Boss [Knockout]]

There is also the laying low event for idle highwaymen getting 1 resolve

[Sir Francis]

The Vvulf only has 10% crit chance, being just about average. You propably mean his high as damage there :)
