can someone explain how, what, and why of villages? as a hermit that has never been in a village and the wiki isn't helping that much. now that you need a village to claim resources, it would be helpful. after building a village and a day of science, i have taken note of some
-what purpose are banners/statues? statue seemed to only increase the authority cap, 36000. does the statue matter about quality or a diminishing gain? no cloth yet for a banner
-what rate does authority drop? does banners/statues affect it much? -seems authority to drain 284/285 every 22m roughly. statue did not seem to increase drain but the statue was built quickly after to attempt to increase the size of ground covered
-is the banner the only way to increase the land under control?
-what are the skills for the members of the village? i read that it requires 25cha for lawspeaker to gain access to all his skills
-what increases authority? it seems for me with 44int 17cha i get 2.12/2.75 depending if you count the 30% from sub. learning new skills in combat gives lp, this also added to the authority
-can someone be lawspeaker of multiple villages? can a village establish an outpost? if i want to try to claim additional resources, do i have to extend village control through banners only and does that have to be above ground? could i tunnel a banner line to a resource then pop a banner above ground?
-any tips or suggestions?
