Hey there folks. I've been playing the game for about a week or so now. Loving it, really am.
But I was wondering about a couple of things that I couldn't figure out on my own.
Firstly The Paladin... So far he does not have a weapon. Does this mean he doesn't fight when I send him out with the army for raiding and whatnot? How does he defend himself?
I mean, I know about the kinds of boons he provides to any given army and that a weapon also has boons of its own when equipped. But for a while, I was hesitant to send him out with the army figuring that since he doesn't have a weapon, so he can't fight or defend himself.
But I think I've come to the realization that I ought to think of him as more of a field general. So when I include him in the army, he's really there to provide boons such as attack bonuses, defense, carrying capacity, and if equipped with an actual weapon, boons from that as well. Nothing to do with actually fighting the battle.
So I take it, the fact that he doesn't have a weapon isn't a cause for concern as far as he can attack or defend himself. Instead, he's more of a boon figure, a field general if you will. If he's accompanying the troops, weapon or no weapon, he grants additional bonuses to the army. Correct?
The other thing I was curious about was on the World Map. Around most player-owned villages, there is a sort of "thing" that encircles a small area around the player-village. And it varies in size... Mine encircles my own town, as well as a few neighboring barbarian villages adjacent to me. I've seen other folks have it encircling a wider area on the map or sometimes not at all. I hope I'm explaining that right...
What do you suppose would that thing be or mean? I'm not entirely sure, but I think it's the "political" part of the map per a premium subscription (of which I am currently on the free trial). Am I correct in that assumption?
Thanks folks! See ya in-game!
