Re: [Audyssey] I broke castaways, plus soldiers and knights
Hay decoata, you put your tavern and storehouse on the same squares I do. I must confess I've never really had the patience to get a population over about 60 or so, in fact in the latest builds of the game I've managed to get a ship done with about 40 people, and when i finished mission 2 I was up to 36. I don't think i've been in a situation where I need two cooks, but then again as I said 64 is the most people I've had. Beware the gRue!

Re: [Audyssey] I broke castaways, plus soldiers and knights
Hi, From what I've seen so far anything over 50 is pretty much overkill. In my last few games I've had about 40 to 50 people total, and that is plenty to keep the day to day tasks up to date, raise an army, and pound the gobs into the mud. I've actually completed the game with 32 people a couple of days ago so it doesn't take as many people as someone might think to complete the game. The most I've had at any given time so far is 63, and at least 18 of those were converted into knights to beat up the goblins, and keep them away from the town. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] I broke castaways, plus soldiers and knights
HI Dark, Interesting. In several of my games the goblins attacked from the south, the sea shore, so I usually have to have at least one or two guard towers on that boarder to keep them from attacking from that direction. However, they also do come down out of the north quiet often as well so I think where they start from is completely random. It might just depend on where you build your village and the goblins start out on the other end of the map. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] I broke castaways, plus soldiers and knights
Hi Tom. I'm afraid I was using shorthand regarding the goblins a litle.

They don't change tactics according to where your village is, sinse I once began a village on A row, and actually had to completely abandon that game when goblins came in at A8 and A7 and utterly destroyed my tavern and storehouse without warning. For towers, from what I've seen a tower on B7 of the mission 1 map and m7 are quite capable of keeping off the western and eastern attacks as well as those from far north at both ends, so it's only necessary to defend the center. i usually therefore put towers on B7, H7, and m7, which has thus far been enough in normal and easy mode. I once tried one at B10, but it just didn't seem necessary. then again, bare in mind I am always a litle cautious about my knights, everytime it seems the goblins are coming at a faster speed I make a new knight, meaning when i have a population of 30 or so, I've often got 6 or 7 of them. how the guard towers would fair with just soldiers, or with fewer knights i'm not sure.

Re: [Audyssey] I broke castaways, plus soldiers and knights
Hi Bryan, Well, like any strategy game Castaways has a number of factors involved in getting the food production up and running. How I do it is I actually get the farms, storehouse, and tavern, built before I do anything else. I try to stock enough food and supplies before I begin building houses and expanding the population. Basically, since I know I'm going to have an explosion of pregnant women and little kids running around under foot I stock up a lot of food and supplies to make sure they are well fed and I have enough supplies to keep the day to day tasks going while the mothers are off work. Of course, as soon as those kids get old enough to work they can fill in as peasants doing delivering goods here and there throughout the town picking up over all production. The main thing you need in a game like Castaways is supplies and plenty of peasants to keep deliveries going or you will starve real fast. For instance, if you have 550 loaves of bread in your storehouse but 0 in the local tavern your people will starve because noone is constantly delivering the food to the place it needs to be. So you need to have plenty of peasants running around bringing bread, vegis, and meet to the tavern as well as the man or woman to cook and serve it.

Re: [Audyssey] I broke castaways, plus soldiers and knights
Hi Tom. I tend to build at the south and center, sinse the goblins obviously don't come from the sea, thus making the southern half of the map safer than the north. Afterall, there is plenty of room to expand even not going beyond the 8th rank.

Re: [Audyssey] I broke castaways, plus soldiers and knights
Hi, Wow! Very impressive. I've only completed 2 games, one easy and the other normal, with a max of 35 people. Makes it more easlily controllable for me so far. as for the soldiers versus knights. The difference is that the knight is equal to 5 soldiers. BTW, Just curious. How did you feed that many people? How did you keep the goblins away? How many of each building did you have?

Re: [Audyssey] I broke castaways, plus soldiers and knights
Hi Decota. Knights are five times as effective as soldiers. You'll notice that the goblins are pushed back far more easily if you have several knights than with standard soldiers. While there aren't specific combat injuries, the sword and armour are held to be a general measure of combat effectiveness, thus it's always better to have knights for defense. to test this, notice how quickly the goblins advance even when you have several soldiers as compared to just a couple of knights.

Re: [Audyssey] I broke castaways, plus soldiers and knights
Youch bryan, something must've been going crazy there. Myself, I have the blacksmith work overtime for a bit, and thus create a few swords and sets of armour, so as soon as it looks like the goblins are increasing their attack I just appoint another knight. then again, i try to start on building weapons relatively early on as it's a fairly time consuming business, so I try and have the mine up and running before I get to population 16, which usually means I can get a knight at about population 18-24 , in fact I concentrate on weapons as soon as I've got bread, meat and vedge production up just so that I can keep those goblins back.

Re: [Audyssey] I broke castaways, plus soldiers and knights
I usually have three farms, one of each, and two farmers. If I have enough peasants to make sure there are always barrels at the vineyard, I have three farms. I don't think people make wine unless there are empty barrels at the vineyard. I'm usually low on vegetables by the time my ship is built so I build a second veggie farm and add another farmer so the ship gets stocked quicker.. I don't have a permanent cook. I switch one of the peasants over and leave him/her as a cook until it tells me he/she is just standing around. Then, they're back on peasant duty for a few turns until I make that person a cook again.

Re: [Audyssey] I broke castaways, plus soldiers and knights
Hi. Without knowing anything else about your population, I'd say at least six to eight. Don't forget, if you have a surplus of something, like bread, you can close the mill and/or bakery so peasants won't take anything there. Just remember to open them back up again before you run out of anything completely. Also, make sure the peasants are fed regularly. Before you get the so and so is on the verge of starvation, they'll sit at the tavern waiting for food and not work.

Re: [Audyssey] I broke castaways, plus soldiers and knights
Hi Bryan. Several things. Firstly, a carpenter can part time as a lumberjack, thus unless you need a lot of wood (ie when you start making wiNE), YOU ONLY NEED THE CARPENTER. THE SAME GOES FOR THE MINER AND metallurgist, in fact usually even when i've got a large population I only have one blacksmith and one metallurgist going at once. For starvation, meat and vedge are the two easiest foods to get. One vedge farm and farmer will produce a lot of food, and with the new upgrade to fisherman it's actually better to have fishermen to get meat instead of hunters unless your trying to get fir for cloth. Bread is the next to produce, sinse the baker will work as a part time peasant, and it only requires another farmer. on the down site, your peasants will also be grinding flour so make sure you have enough. probably the best advice is to always be expanding. At any one time I make certain I always have one building under construction, and one building site accepting material. also, if I've got the max amount of people I build a new house before the children start growing up, so that I've always got new people in a regular flow, sinse ultimately what you do is heavily dependent upon man power.

Re: [Audyssey] I broke castaways, plus soldiers and knights
Well not when there is no building to do, but when there is! building to be done, your builders will drop whatever they're doing and begin building, causing your peasants more work. Because I try to keep up a constant stream of buildings and in fact start a new construction site whenever one construction site has enough material, i try to keep the number of builders down to 2 or 3 so as to leave plenty of peasants for generalized work. this is even more true with bakers and weavers, sinse they spend more time doing their specialized jobs and less as peasants, though equally this does mean bakers are very economical and bread good to produce, sinse bakers are halfway doing the job of a peasant anyway.

Re: [Audyssey] I broke castaways, plus soldiers and knights
I've got to say, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the strategies from you guys. I love how, every now and then, one of you would suggest something I don't normally do in my own strategies, but when you explained it, it would seem like such a good idea that all I want to do it go apply it to my own game. Haha, I am so pleased that nearly everyone can play the game differently, because there is no single Right! Way! to succeed. The idea of having no cook, and just assigning one when it is needed, scares the crap out of me. I don't think I would have the guts to go that route, but honestly, if you can balance it without killing your people, that Is! an extra worker to help in other areas. Very efficient, just also very scary, for me at least haha! There is a whole different side of things, that we never asked Bryan about. How are your buildings arranged? Even if you have the same number of peasants, buildings, and knights, you could have very different results depending on how they are arranged. If Dark puts a guard tower right near the Goblins, but you do not, his knights will be considerably more effective at defense because they won't waste so much time walking back and forth. This also holds true for peasants moving supplies around. The peasants will work on construction related, food related, and core resource related jobs first (in that order), so to do other jobs you need more peasants than those jobs are requiring. If they have to all walk farther, your settlement might not have the extra manpower to do other things, while another settlement might, even with the same number of workers. This might not be the case, but I do think building arrangement is worth taking a look at. I was telling Dark a little earlier, I'm looking into a way to manually adjust the job priorities for your peasants. It will be a bit time consuming for me to do, but it will give people a little more freedom. As someone who has actually Been! adjusting priorities, albeit from a coding standpoint, it is very easy to kill the whole town by saying something as innocent as Carry wheat before you carry vegetables.

Re: [Audyssey] I broke castaways, plus soldiers and knights
Oh I see, so you had guard towers, but no soldiers. The guard towers, themselves, don't defend against the Goblins, they just serve as launching points for your troops. Think of them the same way you think about saw mills and quarries. If the forest gets thinned out, you can put a new saw mill near some thick forest, so your lumber jacks don't have to travel as far. In the exact same way, having guard towers near the enemy means your soldiers don't have to walk all the way from your barracks, or storehouse, to attack them. If your guard tower is close to the enemy, even 1 or 2 soldiers will help slow them down, of course, they will only slow them down and not actually hold them back indefinitely.

Re: [Audyssey] I broke castaways, plus soldiers and knights
it sounds like maybe brian is spending resources getting barracks and knights fairly early in the game, though i could be totally wrong about that. i've only completed the game twice, but both times i left mining and forging until quite late in the game, well after I had a bakery, etc. and probably around a population of 30 or so. not saying that is the way to go, just that if you spend a lot of time and resources early on with knights you won't need for quite a while, it can make things significantly more difficult later on near the end game, as your settlement isn't developed enough due to the front loading of your resources towards the military end of things. later che --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

In an unrelated question, before your knights were slaughtered by Goblins, did they say Ni? :) I didn't just have soldiers. I had a few nights as well. And yet I still lost both towers.

Re: [Audyssey] I broke castaways, plus soldiers and knights
One thing I always do, always always, is build a storehouse around d or e 12. I start my settlement far far from the gobblins, which, if I know strategy, is a good idea. The game starts you at 1a, so I'm not surprised people build there and then get overrn. I put the storehouse there, then the tavern one south, the farms north, east, and west, that's one each of the types, the mill northeast of the storehouse, the bakery northwest or southeast, and the butchers' shop not far from there. Then I put a sawmill and quarry east along that stony field and dense forest line so I have quick resources. Then, I focus on getting houses, except in this latest game, where I'm basically trying to see how fast I can get the ship done and get the people out of freakout island. I usually get two farmers per farm, and when I need intensive work, I get a bartender going. I try to make sure, right away, that I have a guy and a girl doing the same job, so if the girl gets pregnant, there's still someone doing the job. I also try to put a little spirit of roleplay into my choices. Last night, in my huge normous game, I had two people named Jayla. The first one became a knight, and when the second came along, she became a soldier, but then, after a while, she got tired of being called the other Jayla so I shifted her into being a farmer. I made all the folk with bible names become fishermen, which struck me as amusing. I usually pt in a new vej and wheat farm per thirty or fourty people, put in a new cook every sixty or so, and as I said I throw bartenders in there when I need something intensive done. I found, however, that even with a community pushing 150, I only really needed about 15 dedicated peasants, and even those were sometimes standing around. Yeah, I had two builders who doubled as peasants, but it was pretty neat. Just as a note, I had about 30 soldiers, plus six knights, irony of ironies. There's a big downside to doing things the way I did. You need a lot of houses, and you probably won't ever be able to build anything on a border, because gobblins enjoy showing up just to get soldier swarmed.

Re: [Audyssey] I broke castaways, plus soldiers and knights
I just beat that game I was trying. Granted, it's the slightly older version. I didn't build any houses, just built a quick fix community, all for the purpose of building the ship. I bluffed, essentially, and won.

[Audyssey] I broke castaways, plus soldiers and knights
Hi there. Finally, after an enormous game with 170 people, I broke Castaways. This is an extremely robust game, and I am incredibly impressed! Now, for a question. What's the difference, effectively, between soldiers and knights? Why do I want a knight instead of a soldier? I notice that knights have swords and armor, but since nobody seems to be injured more as a soldier, what's the point? signed: Dakotah Rickard --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
