FAQ

Economy

My mines stopped. Why?
Either a vault is full (a full vault stops its mine), or mana falls short (the mana counter in the top bar is red and every mine slows to mana produced ÷ mana required). Build a vault or raise the Ley Tap.
Do I keep producing while offline?
Yes. Everything keeps running: mines, construction, study, muster and marches. Only a full vault or Sanctuary stops production.
Why is my aether going down?
An Aether Furnace burns aether to make mana. Throttle it in the Realm panel if you need the aether.
Can I have more than one building under construction?
One per stronghold at a time. The Steward gives each stronghold a queue of five. Kindred buildings have their own queue, and each stronghold has its own, so build in several strongholds at once.
Why can't I raise the Mage Tower (or Muster Hall)?
The Mage Tower cannot be changed while you study, and the Muster Hall and Golem Foundry cannot be changed while the muster queue is busy.

War

Can my hosts be attacked on the march?
No. Hosts can only fight when they arrive somewhere. A slow march is a safe place for your wealth.
I won but took no plunder. Why?
Plunder fills only the free load of the surviving hosts. Bring load (Pack or Wagon Trains, or units with high load) and leave goods at home: what the host already carries takes up room. Stalemates plunder nothing.
I attacked and lost honour.
Attacking an active lord with less than a fifth of your renown costs honour. Attack lords with at least half your renown to gain it, or dormant and NPC realms to leave it unchanged.
I can't attack a lord.
They may be in Sanctuary, a protected fledgling, or you may have reached the limit of six assaults on that stronghold in 24 hours. If you are a fledgling and they are far stronger, the game asks before branding you an oathbreaker.
My ravens were all lost.
They were intercepted. The more units stationed at the target and the higher its Spycraft compared with yours, the likelier that is. You still receive the report.
Where did this Skyhold come from?
A big battle at your stronghold raised it. Skyholds belong to the lord of the stronghold below.

Realm

How do I get more strongholds?
Study Cartography (level 1 allows a second stronghold, and every two levels after that one more), raise a Settler Caravan and send it on a Settle mission to an empty site your Cartography opens.
How do I meet the other kindreds?
Send envoys (Hosts panel, Envoy mission) to any site. Each envoy may make first contact, win favour or bring relics.
How do I get Fateshards?
You start with some, and quests in the Wilds sometimes find them.
Can I change my calling?
Yes, for 30,000 Fateshards, in the lord panel.
What happens if I stop playing?
After 7 days your realm is dormant and easier to raid; after 35 days with no hosts away it crumbles and is removed. Use Sanctuary before a long absence.

The wiki

Are the numbers in this wiki up to date?
The tables of costs, stats, bonuses and odds are generated from the game's rules each time the wiki is built, so they match the game. They are for a 1× world before bonuses; divide times by your world's speeds.
Is the wiki available in French?
Not yet; the game itself plays in English and French.
