They will also ask a higher price when trading this item to you.DepreciatedTraders from this faction place a low value on this resource. They will only trade it at a low price.OversuppliedMembers of this faction have ample stocks of this item. This lowers…

- Medieval Monday Talk #87 - More Events - 7 September 2026
Greetings, medievalists!Last time, we talked about hiring help. This time, let’s talk about some other events we are working on.One thing we want to improve is the feeling that the world around your settlement is alive. Well, as best as we can given the game's limitations. You should not just have raids, merchants and representatives of religions in your settlement. These are medieval times! Sometimes people need help. Sometimes they bring trouble. And sometimes they bring information that makes you question what kind of settlement you are actually running. So, let’s go through a few examples.One new event we are working on is a faction seeking refuge. A group of visitors may arrive at your settlement tired, hungry, and in poor condition. Their stats will not be great, and they will need help if you choose to provide it. You can feed them, give them a place to sleep, let them recover, a…
- Medieval Monday Talk #86 - Hired Hands - 31 August 2026
Greetings, medievalists! Let’s talk about help. You know that moment when you decide to build something big? Maybe a church. Maybe a proper castle. Maybe one of those projects that starts with “this will look amazing” and ends with half of your settlement mining, hauling, building, eating badly, sleeping badly, and questioning your leadership. Your settlers are stretched thin. Someone needs to mine the ore. Someone needs to cut the wood. Someone needs to build the thing. Someone needs to keep food production going. And then... raiders decide that this is the perfect time to visit. Dang it.So, we are working on a new way to get temporary help - by hiring mercenaries!We wanted to add another meaningful use for gold coins - something that gives you a reason to save it and think carefully about when to spend it. Upcoming diplomacy opened a lot of doors for that.These hired NPCs can come in…

- Medieval Monday Talk #85 - Market Manipulation - 24 August 2026
Greetings, medievalists!Let’s continue making the factions a bit more diverse. Right now, faction identity is primarily communicated through lore, ideology, relationships and heraldry. So, when it comes to trading, things are pretty basic - you would send your caravan to a friendly/neutral settlement and hope that once there, you’ll get some much needed resources and potential place to dump stuff that you have in abundance. But the process itself was a gamble - getting a caravan to that location would take time and you didn’t know what was waiting for you there.So we wanted to give a bit more personality to the factions, by making faction-specific resources. This system should help you answer practical questions such as: Who is most interested in the goods I produce? Where should I look for books, medicine or military equipment? Which factions refuse certain resources? Is this resource…
- Medieval Monday Talk #84 - Diplomatic Deal - 17 August 2026
Greetings, medievalists! Did you know there are different factions in the game? Yeah, in our alternative history, where the Black Death destroyed 95% of the population, such world-changing events naturally gave rise to some interesting groups. You can learn more about them by selecting Historical Records in the top-right corner of the screen and opening the Factions tab.Your relationship with factions can be Neutral, Friendly, or Hostile. But even Friendly factions may try to bully you with a demand here and there. It’s a dog-eat-dog world out there.We want to take these relationships a bit further, and that starts with diplomacy.In the next big update, you’ll be able to initiate diplomacy with a settlement your caravan has traveled to. Once there, you’ll be able to negotiate a deal and decide what you need from that settlement. Do you need military help defending your home? A siege par…
