Description:
Peasants are the backbone of the economy in Eressea. They provide silver?, luxury items, new recruits and even food (if you are a demon? :-) )
What do they do?
- Each peasant earns 11 silver? per week or more depending upon any castles? in the region. This may be taxed or collected by entertainers.
- Peasants produce luxury items at a normal rate of 1 item per 100 peasants.
- Peasants buy luxury items at a normal rate of 1 item per 100 peasants.
- Peasants can be recruited to join your faction (except for demons?)
- Peasants can be eaten (!) by demons? at a rate of 1 peasant feeding 10 demons?.
What do I need to know about them?
- Each region can supply work for only a limited number of peasants. This will be different for each region.
- The number of peasants a region can support is reduced by
- trees (each takes the space of 8 peasants)
- saplings (each takes the space of 4 peasants)
- horses
- The population of peasants in a region changes over time
- New peasants are born,
- Peasants may die of starvation or plague
- Peasants may emigrate to neighbouring regions or immigrate from neighbouring regions (outdated - this is disabled)
- Peasants may be recruited to join a faction
- Faction units may be disbanded to become peasants
- Peasants fear undeads and dragons. So some may escape to surrounding regions. Peasants may also be eaten by undeads and dragons.
- Each (greater/longer?) battle in a region will also cost the lifes of some peasants.
How do I get more peasants?
- Build bigger castles - this increases the wage and prosperity of a region and may attract immigrants. (outdated - this is disabled)
- Use a Peasant Love Potion? to help them with their reproductive activities. Per 1000 peasants in the region you may use one peasant love potion per week.
- Disband some units. A quick but expensive way to build up a population is to recruit peasants from one region and disband the units in another region. (This does not work for demons?). Try to find a friedly goblin for this, because goblins have the lowest recruit costs.
