Appreciate it!

Either go to your base screen and select thet outpost you want to interact with (so in the case of that video outpost 1 is my ammo outpost), or take a character to that specific outpost and open the outpost menu while you are at it. You should see an option to upgrade the outpost and it will list requirements to upgrade. It'll be grayed out such that you can't upgrade if you don't meet requirements.

Assuming you're talking about launching the setup file, maybe you don't have file extensions showing in your File Explorer? View -> Show -> File Name Extensions You don't have to have that option checked to launch an executable, but that is probably why you don't see ".exe".

@ It’s working fine even though it didn’t have the .exe I’m also very new to pc stuff so it’s kinda confusing

Thank you! Good luck on your campaigns!

Hey there! That might be a good suggestion for someone playing with boats. Although if you are rolling from one end (e.g. Date) and using boats, I think they should be up ahead or even with your armies so that you can intercept someone deciding to drop off early. But as I said in the video "by and large boats aren't required to win the game"- that's the only point (claim) I tried to make about them. That claim followed exceptions for 3-4 clans. I could give examples of how putting that money into land units is better than spending it on boats, but I don't feel that is necessary since I'm not sure exactly what the disagreement is. Can boats be useful? Yes- as outlined in the video. Are they required to win on Legendary? Not at all- proven by myself and others back in 2011. Do I feel you'd be handicapping yourself if you played Mori without boats? Yes, probably- because that clan has boat bonuses/etc. But if you're struggling- even as Mori- to field both adequate armies and navies, the sound strategy would be to cut back on ships until your armies are large enough to secure your lands. There's no benefit to having a big navy that can compensate for underfunding your armies and losing land. Ships can't take provinces. Conversely, having big armies deters invasion and is a counter to losing land- regardless of whether the enemy came by land or water. If that was not what you were disagreeing with, please let me know. Thanks!

Essentially, there are three viable strategies: 1. No navy, just keep an eye on it and recruit a bunch of ashigaru If an invasion force lands somewhere; deal with it then. 2. Only keep enough ships to contest the enemy where you need to, in your rear areas in the late game. Just have a couple fleets to snipe ships carrying armies. 3. This is mostly viable for Otomo, but pursuing complete naval dominance. Controlling the trade nodes will pay for a big enough fleet that you can essentially sink anyone else’s navy and you can comfortably sail armies wherever you want.

@ I agree with these options for sure. Good stuff! From my recent partial playthrough on Otomo (vs some testing w/Shimazu), it is clear that Otomo has a very easy/quick path to dominance through nanban "trade" ships. Obviously not for trade, but for wrecking anyone dumb enough to attack. Shimazu doesn't have it quite as good/quick on that front. They have to take Bungo and then deal with either holding off conversion until clearing Kyushu or slowing taking the rest of Kyushu while converting.

Thanks for the comments. You said a lot, so this'll be quite a long response... In the encyclopedia, it's the "Overseeing" action that metsuke can perform. "increase repression and tax income when in castle towns". Also you can see the changes in the province panel when you put a metsuke in/out. This is the most consequential passive agent ability in the game- by far. I feel like I covered boats thoroughly enough. Play with boats if you want, but they aren't necessary to beat the game and any player struggling should consider cutting back on boats and putting that money into the armies that take land. Obviously I said- and repeat- that clans with boat bonuses, really close to nodes, christian, etc, make a more compelling case for boats. Re: ninjas. The use of ninja, monks, moving armies, ambushing, etc, is what I would consider taking this "overarching strategy" and putting it into practice in a specific game (ie tactics). However, it would have been a glaring disservice to talk about fertility, farms, taxes, etc (ie how to make money) and not to mention the basic action of putting metsuke in town because of how much an impact they have on income. (side-note... Metsuke in towns also detect and protect against ninja) So- separate video for special units, tactical movements, etc. That's what I'm saying. Strategy is building sake dens for ninja, tactics is how to develop/use ninja, etc. Cool? Trade ports: Trade ports don't give but +2 to growth for the specific province. It is not cost effective to upgrade to them for that growth alone. Increasing trade routes and export capacity is where trade ports really bring in money. Post roads cost 1200 koku and also provide +2 growth for that province. Trade ports cost 1800. So you're upgrading mainly to accommodate more trade partners and increase your export capacity (if you have goods like wood/etc). It's also not "worth it" to upgrade trade ports ever, unless you're able to build a nanban port/quarter- which only applies to a single port (unless you're modding/gimmicking) and only applies to those who CAN build it. FYI- the merchant guild is +20 growth (not +25) and +1k wealth (vs 0). And -food. Etc. Recruiting: Unless your "clan stronghold" is a smith or craftwork province, you should always be seeking to take one of those provinces for producing units. The capitol province receives +1 recruit slot. That's it. Ikko Ikki starts with both military provs. All other clans get 1 or none and therefore should be trying to obtain them as mentioned. I'm not sure why you think you should always be making units in your "clans stronghold" unless that means something different to you than it does to me. I hope that addresses your comments. Thanks again, and hopefully knowing that metsuke can double your income will help your future plays. Oh wait- I almost forgot. I don't care for gimmicks like "infinite move your army with boat chains", unit dragging, etc. No point mentioning them in a strategy video- or even a tactics video.

@GameMnke Okay so I've been playing this entire time without any outside influence, never watched any videos up till now. I have discovered that I have been playing on small unit size, which makes Yari Ashigaru have 40 units, and Naval the max size for a fleet is 6. Trade posts give the same amount with the 6 small size as they do with the 10 large size, which you then have the upkeep for the extra 4, and the AI seems to have more ships running around as well. I mentioned the army size cause it also makes drop-in battles so much more difficult for some reason. I've always done auto resolve as I would lose so many more troops if I didn't (percentage wise). Since I've made this comment, I have learned so many things that have made the game 10x easier, the Metsuke being a big one, changing my economic strategy completely.

Interesting... So you're saying with 6 ships on small navy size, you are importing 103 quantity of Silk and 103 Cotton each instead of 63? I'm currently playing Otomo (on VH, which so far feels like the easiest VH game I've ever played). But I've always had land units on ultra and navy on large... forever. That can't be changed during campaign, unfortunately, because with nanban trade ships as the bulk of my roaming navy, obviously I don't need stacks to win fights. I still use basic trade ships for nodes because they are far cheaper upkeep. So for Otomo particularly, (and anyone who picks up nanban) having less stack size would just save on trade if that's the case. I'll have to check it out in my next game if I play another "ship clan". I tend to feel that when I play with ships, there's more in the water than when I don't. but that is probably mostly because usually you can ignore most things off in the water because you know only ships carrying armies are any kind of real threat.

@GameMnke Yeah don't quote me on that quite yet. Second guessing myself right now on my current campaign, going as Christian Shimazu to see how it is. Not going so good with Oda as Shogunate roughly 15 years in 😬 EDIT: I sometimes like to use the Red Seal ships to cover the posts, since they have the same upkeep, just cost more and takes a long to to replace all my normal trades ships for them but they can hold they're own against pirates, especially if they got a nanban trade ship in their midsts.

I have to say with Otomo it's just been... ridiculous. I bought Otomo back in... Dec of 2013 and I guess I must have never got around to playing them because I would have remembered this. It was probably some xmas sale and I picked them up. I'm also almost 15 years in with all of Kyushu well upgraded (not the forts, but farms, roads for moving troops, the Smithy in Satsuma, etc) and 1 chumpy vassal in a "meh" province next to Satsuma for the boost to honour. Didn't have to worry about converting, because Otomo start converted with a nanban port. I didn't do any gimmicks to get an extra nanban quarter. Don't need to. I have Silk and Cotton (the best two trade posts) and am only waiting for my Encampment Armoury and Powder Maker in Buzen to complete. When it is done, I'm going to trigger the "Way of the Gun" event which I've been holding off on. +2 ranks for recruited matchlocks for 10 turns! And then I'll trigger that in my capitol (Bungo) and start recruiting Tercos there and armoured Otomo matchlocks in Buzen. Buzen can recruit 2 per turn. So basically I'll have all my matchlocks for the rest of the game (with +2 armour), and probably all the Tercos. While also shipping up +4-5 armour yari ashis from Satsuma to be my line. After I land my main armies on Kii, near Kyoto, I'll finally unblock the land pass from Kyushu and smash everything from both ends (plus you know- missionary revolts). I'll also take the two incense nodes by force because I'll need the income. I'll just trap Chosokabe on his island, because I don't need those provinces to win. I've done about the same with Shimazu, but the fact that Otomo starts without having to go through as much upheaval to convert and get access to nanban ships, just makes this so easy.

Thanks so much! I'm always glad when someone gets something useful out of my content. This really makes my day!

Haha. Yeah it is. I generally have one main/crafting base and then the rest are just kind of outposts- particularly if they grow a crop abundantly (like sunsimmer or bounty barn) so I don't have to plant everything. (I tend to have calm spirit so the cats/etc don't ambush me)

Hmm.. that's not great. Did you find out its weakness yet or did it show up in the early part of the game where you don't have much of anything?

@GameMnke it showed up early. The good news is it's weakness is fire!

Haha! Yes- I like to play this game like a pendulum. Some really bad decisions and then some really "that was super smooth" plays.

Brian is amazing for sure. He's part of why I got the courage up to try lethal originally (also after my first/only standard playthrough) because he makes lethal look like how I play on standard. But I don't think I will ever play with lethal mobs again because it got to where I'm like... as long as I don't log in, no one will die...

Jumping to Nightmare from Lethal is just as bad if not worse! I love this game!

Happy to help! Enjoy your modding fun. Meow!

Awesome. Good luck on your campaigns!

@@GameMnke dude i try to instal the better in game map and when i open the game the map region didn't show in the game can you help me out

@@FlexingRichPeople No problem. It's pretty straightforward. From the readme.txt: "To install, unzip directly into the encyclopedia folder, making sure to replace the old regions.html when prompted. (regions.html is the only original file that’s been changed.)" You're not putting the BIEM folder in the encyclopedia folder, just the contents after you unzip (i.e. the regions folder and regions.html file). That's all I did. I would do it without having the game launched- I don't know that it matters, but sometimes games can lock resources.

Thanks! I really appreciate the comment. I've never really cared for tax-cycling because I generally don't do speed runs. Unfortunately it's been brought out of that context to where people think it's applicable for longer campaigns. This forces them to tack on the "wait 20+ turns to save up extra money before RD" approach as well because they've damaged their economy through years of cycling. Just because it's on my mind and related... I read the other day someone suggesting you want "at least 200k" saved up for RD. Insane. Saving up some money isn't bad, but when the player has 8k surplus per turn pre-RD that's a ridiculous amount of time to wait and not spend anything. Anyway. Thanks again!

You're very welcome! That map is great and all credit goes to the persons who originally created/contributed to it. I'm just glad to have been around to benefit from it at the time and be able to promote it to others.

Hey there... I'm not 100% certain this will help since I haven't worked through it myself, but I did some googling and found a reddit post about this issue. Check out the first comment string as I think it might have some good suggestions that appear to have worked for some people. www.reddit.com/r/ModdedValheim/comments/1brjrzq/how_to_use_mod_manager_thunderr2_on_a_dedicated/ Good luck!

​@@GameMnke I see that they are recommending against using modman with a dedicated server. I'm just trying to figure out how to get modman to recognize the dedicated server's .exe file. Does nobody mod dedicated servers? Or are they manually modding them and having to reinstall every individual mod when they update?

​@@CHAOSSTEAM The first guy recs against it, but the very next person in the string talks about how he got it working with r2. Example: " add the path to your r2modman profile to the valheim_server batch script." Etc. Like I said, I haven't tested this, but between the second response and the fourth response in the first comment string there was talk and confirmation between people that clearly have it working. I'm sure there are other examples around, but like I said- I don't run a separate server. When I host I host local (or my wife does) and we just connect that way with both clients having mods. Good luck.

@@GameMnke Ok, so I think I got it figured out. Install mods on my client side machine, use R2 to configure the mods, then export the mods and send to server to install on it. I think this will be the way to go! Thanks for the responses.

@@CHAOSSTEAM Cool. According to that one comment it read like if you made a second profile for your server in r2 that you could then point the path of that profile to the location on your server where R2 needs to be installed. But it sounds like from what you've figured out, this only works if you have the server installed via Steam (since when you make a profile you pick steam or xbox). Good information to know. I hope this works out for you. Happy exploring!

Yeah. Either you have to type "configurationman" without the space. Or "config man" works to get shudnal's (which I prefer now because you can move/recolor it). "tionman" also works, but I don't know why simply "config" doesn't get most of them to the top. Glad you found one.

Yes. Good idea. Sake dens are a good pick, particularly if you just want to shore up happiness in a newly taken province so you can leave less garrison. Not a ton of wealth per turn, but happiness has value that uh... money uh... can't... buy? Something like that!

Great suggestion. I feel like I sometimes struggle between wanting to make sure all their bows are climbing and wanting to make sure none of the ones up are set to fire- plus getting some kills with my non-garrison units. It gets harder the more units they have for sure. I'll try to work on the charge in the future.

I think they did a good job of layering the economy such that you can make different decisions that have short and long-term consequences. I do wish the vanilla rice mechanic and certain upgrades functioned more like FotS but it creates an interesting juxtoposition where in Sengoku period rice was the lynchpin of the economy instead of just one spoke in the wheel.

It depends a lot on what is happening on the map. Usually when I change bases I will reposition some outposts to be able to defend against any hearts I might wake. I like to have one outpost "free" to be flexible so that if I want to loot a really packed area I can just make an outpost, set mines, and speedloot everything around it. There are some specific ones that are fixed because there's only so many power plants, cell towers, etc. If I were in a situation where I was switching maps and buying the base I planned on playing the whole map on, I would probably wind up with a few less outposts being switched.

You need the Epic Loot mod. Assuming you have that, you build the table once it becomes available to you through the crafting menu. Opening the table shows you the options including what it takes to unlock each section (like enchanting). Hope that helps!

Hmm... my configuration manager update was from 5 days ago. When I launch modded everything works fine. Do you still have this issue?

You are very welcome!

Same - helpful. This game is hard on hard lol! Tokugawa basically getting ganked on every side.

@ Yeah. Tokugawa can be a special kind of hard. His start in this game reminds me of his start in Nobunaga's Ambition (the old 8-bit Nintendo original). Usually one of two clans come knocking- Oda or Imagawa. You have no way to go but through one or the other.

Great question. Here's a lengthy answer... There is no ideal number of vassals for all campaigns except to note that the first three vassals made nets +3 to honour. This impacts diplomacy, loyalty of generals, etc. It can also help offset certain negative honour tactics (like plundering a province) later on. It is also worth noting that the longer you have a trade agreement, the more income it brings in and the greater the trade diplo bonus is with that clan. This works for vassals as well and is partly why some vassals stick by you longer after realm divide. I tend to find in a lot of my playthroughs that I'm constantly generating reinforcements from my military provs and sending them to the front- as a half-stack or so. Usually these pass through vassal territory at some point. Sometimes I bring back an army or general to meet them partway because that brings them to the front faster. Knowing that we're going to hit RD, or already being in RD, we can open the diplo panel and check vassal loyalty. Usually their loyalty is staggered by 20 or so depending on how fast we were making them and we can predict who will flip first. We can bribe a vassal if need be ("gifts") to help keep them loyal for a time as well. Most of the time we can plan around all this data. We potentially have reinforcements, ninja, a repositioning army, other vassals, and spur of the moment recruiting in nearby provs of basic ashigaru that can all contribute to preventing some vassal from doing much more than minor damage in our tender bits. I've never had a flipping vassal cost me the game. When vassals are next to each other and one flips, usually the neighbor(s) will bring their army over and clobber them. This could buy some time. Eventually that vassal will flip too, but they've been weakened by beating down the other vassal. When they flip- we pop the province they took and revassal it. Then we head to their province (now without an army or very weak) and revassal as well. We lose the longterm trade, but otherwise it's usually resolved quickly and diplo resets with no RD penalty. There are times when things go badly. If there are a number of vassals that are all negative and you're playing a clan like Ikko Ikki, you can have a whole group of vassals flip on you. This happened to me in my recent VH campaign. With another clan the flipping would have been more staggered, but because vassals never convert to Ikko, and because I had been taking provinces pretty much nonstop at that point and in a pitched war with Oda, Shimazu, Takeda, and Hojo (AND Chosokabe by boat- what a mess!) there was a round of 5-6 vassals flipping on me following the first 1-2 being staggered. Now that sounds bad, but most of the vassals were either near or on my fronts with Oda/Takeda/Hojo, or next to my main military provs. There were only a couple halfway between my mil provs and my front with Shimazu, but I held provinces on that front that I didn't really need to hold, so I left one to rebel and fell back to where the former vassals were going to attack. None of them had full stacks. They also didn't have many boats because they'd been warring with my enemies at sea (I didn't have any boats anyway). It added about a year to me finishing the game, but otherwise it's just a fun story about how Hattori tried to attack Kyoto with a half-stack and died to the garrison there. At a minimum I would make 3 vassals for the honour and position them near to where I recruit every turn. This would mean only a couple turns to have some crack units to counter a flip. Have fun!

Awesome, thank you and good luck in your campaigns!

play MOSS!!

No need to exaggerate. There are a number of buildings you can/should build- far more than 2. However, on higher difficulties and early game, you need to focus on optimizing. That means not starting by spending thousands of koku on a building so you can spend thousands more on a half-dozen katana sams and wind up broke from upkeep and outnumbered on the battlefield. It wouldn't be realistic for a 2 province daimyo to be sending out stacks of samurai. It wouldn't be realistic for any daimyo to do that because peasants were far more numerous than samurai and it would make more sense to just equip them with spears- which is what they did. Until they had guns- then they equipped them with guns. You want to play all cavalry? Go for it. All samurai- I'm sure there's a mod that helps boost your money. But I'm not covering mods- just core gameplay. Have fun!

@@GameMnke thank you for your reply

I appreciate the sentiment and I probably should have put out a message about that. I've been busy these past months winding down my rl job (growing garlic by hand for market) and working on our house as we're relocating. Taking longer than expected to move. I have some stuff cookin', I just haven't carved out the time to make it happen. Good luck on your playthrough!

Sometimes. I mean... it depends. They do level up quickly, but the "fifth skill" is what can differentiate one survivor from another and can dictate how you react to certain situations. For example, the more I'm in a situation where I need to be firing off a bunch of traps to buy time against some hearts, the less I'm going to want my chemist/muni specialists to be the ones risking their necks trying to take out said hearts. If I need a warm body to sacrifice for the group, let's just say hopefully I have a well-named asshole to hand a sledge and some c4. ;)

Thanks for the feedback. I agree in general. I think the game does a good job of hiding some of the mechanics that trip players up. (e.g. thinking a rice exchange is going to make you big bucks, thinking samurai are better than yari ashi) I definitely kept it to core fundamentals, cuz that's really all you need to win. I appreciate the suggestions. I do want to do a video on difficulty- I think it's one thing a lot of players don't realize they can manipulate to dial in the right level of challenge. Thanks again!

That's a great idea. Daisy chain of vehicles in case you have to ditch ride in the field.

You need throwable to benefit from recalling. Spears have throwable innate as their alternate attack. This if you get recalling on a spear- you're good to go! Other weapons will need it rolled as a mod. If you get an item with throwable, sometimes you fish for recalling or vice-versa. Good luck!

Obviously after you checked thunderstore for that same mod (or another mod that does about the same thing) and didn't find it, you could try to go to Settings in r2 and use "import local mod" on the zip file. I haven't tested this, so I don't know what hangups it might have. You could also try to manually load it into the r2 path but that would probably require adding it to the list of active mods, etc and I'm guessing that is what "import local mod" is for. Good luck!

Do you have their wandering set high? If so try turning it down so they don't "disappear". I read that having it set to like 30 means that they might wander off and you have to use your staff if you want to interact with them immediately without tracking them down. Good luck!

Wow! Nice roll on the tutorial. I guess you could always put them into your survivor pool if you still had them and then recruit them into another community.

@GameMnke oh, he's still around. Thankfully I didn't lose or delete him before knowing how valuable he is. He's chilling in a community in standard mode at the moment where I collected all the tutorial pairs. I need more practice in lethal before I move him over and get cocky and he gets dead from basic mistakes.

No problem! Have fun!

I can sure try. F1 is to open configuration manager, which means you should have installed a configuration manager mod, verified that BepInEx launched (console window named BepInEx), etc- all the stuff from "installing mods" thru "verifying install". If you didn't install configuration manager or you didn't "start modded", nothing will happen when you hit F1. It sounds like you're on the main game menu. It should say "running BepInEx" and the version number in the upper left along with a number for the "plugins" (mods) loaded. If it doesn't say any of that, you didn't start the game modded. Let me know where you're at in that chain of things. If you installed a configuration manager, etc, and this is still a problem, let me know which configuration manager you installed- either the official one "by Azumatt", or the one "by Shudnal". Those are the only two that have been updated since Ashlands- I can't recommend anything older.

I wouldn't avoid vassals until RD. There are many reasons to have vassals earlier and to accept and deal with that shortcoming later. Each of the first 3 vassals you create gets you +1 honour. This helps with a lot of things- diplomacy/trade, general loyalty, province happiness. Having a vassal not only gives you a guaranteed trade partner, it also doesn't increase the administration penalty to your taxes- making your metsuke/etc more effective. Particularly nice considering you're usually vassaling the crappiest provinces. You stand to make more money from a crappy vassal (and having higher honour to secure trade/etc) than owning a bad province outright. As for betrayal... everyone eventually turns on you after RD. Vassals with strong ties (increasing turns of trade and peace) will take longer to turn on you. Knowing it can/will happen means you can prepare for it. It's just a revassal and then keep on rolling. Ikko Ikki on long/dom campaign will tend to have more "post RD" problems with vassals because of religious penalties coupled with the expansion penalty, even after revassaling to remove the RD penalty.

@GameMnke thank you for all your advice. I took a lot of notes from this video lol

@@IsaacEsquivel-Pilloud You're very welcome. Good luck in your campaigns!

Thanks for the feedback/thoughts. I have some responses. 1. Vassals: Highly depends on the vassal's location/aggression, but once the third warning pops (75 fame) I agree it's time to be mindful of things that add fame like what you mentioned, plus heroic victories, more honour, etc. 2. All strategy is about exploiting one mechanic or another. Pre-RD turtling, selling access, tax cycling, yari wall. Extra koku for trade/peace deals? These are all things that can be done since the game came out, that various people might see as "bad play", "OP", "unrealistic"- or that others swear by. It would be a disservice (IMO) to have a strategy guide that said you shouldn't do it based on sentiment alone. 3. Light cav being "more cost effective" and bow ashigaru "just not worth it". Objectively, bow ashi cost less (recruit and upkeep), don't require a building/slot to access, etc. Turn-by-turn early you're spending less on bows than cav and that translates into more armies you can maintain overall to take & control more territory. Additionally, having a handful of bows can give you the means to take forts (ie provinces) without losing any units at all- all the way to the end game. This saves more koku and preserves early momentum. Bows can bait/snipe enemy generals/cavalry, have their own morale penalty, etc. Your general(s) can easily (and for zero cost) stand in for cavalry- since they're cavalry (particularly early game when money is tight). This allows you to stack projectile plus cav plus flank/rear morale penalties AND more easily trigger shock on one unit to start a roll (20% cas over 4 seconds). Any melee unit can give the larger rear attack penalty-btw, so cav (or Gens) are just adding the specific cav pen. It is easier (and cheaper overall) to build a winning strat around the two default/fundamental game units- yari and bows- and add things to it (like cav, etc) when desired and able to be afforded than to hamstring early siege offense by not having bows. You'd have to arbitrarily deem certain uses of bows as "like an exploit" to undercut their actual utility. I find it difficult- even on VH battle setting where the AI gets the highest ranged bonuses, and even just "early game"- to accept that bows aren't "worth it"- when to me they are. (both obviously ultimately subjective) 4. I usually like high armour on yari ashi so that they can distract enemy bows while my bows are busy thinning them out and can resist morale shock from whatever melee hits them using their high numbers/armour. They can get +attack from skilling up. They can't get +armour that way. Bow ashi fire more arrows per volley, which equals more chances at kills per volley and with multiple units focused on one enemy, a higher chance to trigger a shock. This circles back into 3, which I honestly cut a lot from. ;) 5. I only agree with "money now beats money later" if that is actually how it works out. I see a lot of people cycling taxes and sitting on the koku instead of spending all of it- which means they aren't actually investing it into something- which is what "mnbml" comes from. Take the money now and invest it to earn compound returns. There's a twofold problem with applying that investment phrase to this strategy for this game. Honestly if I have the time I plan on doing 2 identical plays on a low difficulty (to aid consistency) and compare cycling to not and track data for each turn. There are spreadsheets that model turns (that I mentioned) but aren't really truly comprehensive to expansion, etc. 6. My latest game as Ikko I thought about boats near the end. Maybe I could take that horse node. Maybe I could build a stack and unblock some ports. Etc. Instead I just built more armies, squashed the couple landings that happened and made more koku by taking provs and making vassals trade with me for the horses/iron/etc I had on land. It's a bit like cav for me. I can put them to use, but for the price maybe I should just hire 3 more yari and go for more territory. Sorry this was long. Thanks again for taking the time. I appreciate anyone willing to put time into laying out detailed positions.

Oh yeah. It's definitely changed into a stronghold and the map markers I had there don't line up like they used to. Thanks for pointing that out.

@GameMnke 😁 Just the game evolving

Thanks for the tip. Those areas weren't available at the time. Albaneve/etc will have to come in a later video.

From the looking at the code that I've done, you'd have to modify a couple json files. Probably iteminfo and definitely loottables.json. However... there may already be a mod that suits your need if you're specifically looking at warfare. Would this work? thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/CSG/CSG_Warfare_Monstrum_Epic_Loot_Support/ That hasn't been updated for 11 months, so it might be out of date, but at least it might give you a better idea of what needs to be touched to get it to work. Good luck!

@GameMnke didn't see your reply until now my b.

Very interesting. Thanks for bringing this up! When I did this video, Rose Shell was just under a patch of world fog that I hadn't revealed. I plan to circle back into Enshrouded- hopefully soon. It's high on my list. We've been trying to prep/move in the real world and that has overshadowed all other work for me (including my real world garlic farm...). I'm definitely curious to see the impact the changes have. Sounds like the next related video will be focused on the subject you're bringing up- the "best/easiest" locations for occupancy and development. It'll refer back to this video for base comfort across the region as I'm sure that is still relevant. Originally my plan on a solo playthrough was to occupy NE of Thornhold for a central Revelwood base due to the peacefulness and easy amber/copper. I wonder if that's enough(inn+barn) compared to Thornhold (our main/OG base). Thornhold had respawns that we'd have to wipe out until we expanded the flame, but then that blocked the resources and left us with a number of buildings we didn't need anyway. Now it sounds like that may still be the central base to have from a comfort+space standpoint. Kelvin also seems nice for buildings/space, but doesn't have a lot of default comfort (9ish, iirc). It's also one that would probably take two altars to really cover the whole place- although that isn't totally necessary.
