Questions about villages, primarily Hird & authority.

[Reimad]

Hello, a few of us decided to start a village. We're already doing well, killing boars, making cheese, I'd say we're almost out of noob status And now we want more. A village.


Getting the materials shouldn't be that big of a problem, but we don't want to dive in headfirst so we'd like some info on the following things first.

1. Authority drain. 1 authority equals 1 lp gained, right? But how much authority do you need a day? We saw on the wiki that a claim costs around 5000 per ingame day, so 15.000 per RL day.. But that sounds a bit much, how many people do you think a village should have to ensure that target is met? And what happens if your authority drops below 0?

2. Hirdsman. Does it cost you authority to have them? How much is the cost for summoning? Is there a purpose to them apart from being able to summon them?

Hope some fine chap will take the time to answer these questions, it would be much appreciated

answer for number 1:

authority gain is modded by your char and int.

so if u have high char and int... 1 lp gained might equal 3-4 authority. If you already hunt animals you should be fine. I belive the more flags you throw up the more authority drain u have.

Thanks for that! didn't know about the charisma, glad I do!

But I just checked with the others, we have around 8 guys now and each one says he makes a minimum of 5000 a day. So we should be fine.

Do you know anything about my other questions?

pretty positive it does not take authority to have a heardsman. when you summon them it uses there travel weariness up. if they dont have enough travel weariness it will not let you teleport them. it will give a message like your heardsman does not have enough travel weariness. EDIT: This might be outdated information!

dont think they serve any real purpose. I advise giving it to you most active strongest player so that they can teleport to defend. although ive never seen it successfully used that way yet.

last map it did not use their travel weariness so you could use it to teleport to villages really far away etc or do trades with people by making them the hirdsman, teleporting them to u and then trading... then they could warp back to their hearth... that doesn't exist anymore so i dont think people use it.

when auth is below 50k the village claim no longer controls the area, even if it is visible, people can take things without criminal acts. if it drops to 0 the idol can be destroyed by anyone.

for hirdsmen, it doesn't drain any auth to have them, but summoning them takes either 25k or 50k auth, i don't remember which.
