Since the regular 'hard' mode was so much fun I thought It was only fair to play the more difficult mode of SURVIVAL! In survival resources such as stone is limited and Vikings become more and more horrifying as time goes on. As a reward If you reach year 250 you get a new statue which you can use in-game as a trophy of success and to bring happiness to your people!

SO happy to be back in Kingdoms and Castles and had a blast recording this second playthrough in the more difficult mode! Really hope you enjoy this one as It was a great way to spend this week.. If a tad stressful. In case you missed It I have two other full playthroughs up lately: From The Depths, the boat building and destroying game - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fMlyfL1y18e0iYE.html The first of the Kingdoms and Castles Full Playthroughs before this one - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j8mRqNtinNy8YZc.html

Butchers improve swineherds massively, 2-3 can support 1000 people easily, same with Fishmongers. The reason you weren't getting any gold is because Hovels do not give good tax. You needed to get to Manors way sooner. Also, Manors have 2 heads of house which helps with distribution of food and charcoal.

@Lathland 7 ай бұрын

I did end up with butchers and fishmongers - It's why the health was SO high after the midpoint of the game! :) As for manors yeah I agree, It was just the issue of wanting that limited stone in this mode for other things so It was gold + population efficiency vs more stone for defenses and other buildings. But near the end I do kinda come to that realization - 100% should have converted that center section into manors!

@russianman5099 7 ай бұрын

@@LathlandSomething I did during my 250 run was just building 2 wide wooden walls with moats on the other side, which was really effective. And of course some massive ballsita towers with the stone. All of that left a lot of room for manor building and other stone related expenses. I also only had 2 stone deposits on my island :D

Some tips for the next game and the algorithm: better to bring ballistas further out to the city perimeter so they are more able to target and sink boats. Can also do some space saving by building them on top of gates, that way they only sit on top of a road, although you'd want to eventually move them over to the walls. Vikings also tend to avoid targeting them, as they'd focus on weaker thinner portions of the wall, and a ballista tower is implicitly much stronger thanks to their height. This last tip is possibly false, but get some more docks, that way you can do more trading, more merchants show up.

You can use gate sections as the base of an entire run of wall, then have a road run underneath it through all the open gates. Road + wall stacking has lots of potential implications.

Next time around you should try and see if you can surround the entire island in walls on piers so that there's absolutely nowhere for the Vikings to land. See what that does to their AI. Also on that note, there's a water gate wall building that lets through friendly ships but not enemy ones, so you can use that to block off your dock from Vikings.
