Settle March
With this march you can create a new city on empty map coordinates. All buildings are at level 0 in the newly created city, except for the castle which starts from level 1.
To successfully settle a city you have to comply with the following requirements:
Number of the castle | Escorting Population | Required Resources |
2 | 1 nobleman + 2000 | 5000 each |
3 | 1 nobleman + 4000 | 10000 each |
4 | 1 nobleman + 6000 | 15000 each |
5 | 1 nobleman + 8000 | 20000 each |
6 | 1 nobleman + 10000 | 25000 each |
7 | 2 noblemen + 12000 | 30000 each |
8 | 2 noblemen + 14000 | 35000 each |
9 | 2 noblemen + 16000 | 40000 each |
10 | 2 noblemen + 18000 | 45000 each |
11 | 2 noblemen + 20000 | 50000 each |
The unit types and amounts in the escorting population must be the following:
Type of Escorting Units | Amount |
Pikeman | 100 |
Swordsman | 100 |
Axeman | 100 |
Maceman | 100 |
Shortbow Archer | 200 |
Longbow Archer | 300 |
Crossbow Archer | 300 |
Quickwalkers | 50 |
Light Cavlry | 50 |
Heavy Cavalry | 50 |
Archer Cavalry | 20 |
Ram | 20 |
TOTAL POPULATION | 2000 |
For example:
If you want to settle your fifth castle the escorting population will be 8000, which is equal to 4 times the units displayed above. This means you have to multiply the unit amounts shown above by 4;
In order to successfully settle a castle it is required that the chosen coordinates are free and there are no cities, camps or obstacles there. Furthermore, the players Order must allow them to own another castle.
The maximum duration of a Settle march is 1 hours regardless of speed motivation being used.
The march requires different amount of all resources, escorting population and sending a Nobleman. Both the resources, army and nobleman vanish if the Settle march is successful (the map spot is still empty when the march reaches it). When a city is settled it starts with 3000 Loyalty. Settle march can't be sent from a city with less than 3000 loyalty. If a city's loyalty falls under 3000 and there is a Settle march on route, the march will return instantly to protect the city.
