Using T is a good idea, and it is something I totally forgot about. Saved my behind a few times today.

Hi, My apologies. I missed the key words ‘in battle’. I rarely use soldiers for battle. I try to upgrade them before sending them to their death. LOL As stated in another message. I too also turn off battle mode with the letter T. Then when said character is a soldier I upgrade them. Then turn battle ode back on. If I miss the step to turn it off and they go to battle, I then turn it off till their idle again, upgrade, then turn it bac on. As for needing a tome. Because of how I play I had never seen that message before. Will have to go and check it out some day. Again, sorry for any mis information. shermanator From: blind-gamers@groups.io <mailto:blind-gamers@groups.io> <blind-gamers@groups.io <mailto:blind-gamers@groups.io> > On Behalf Of Jordan Gallacher Sent: Monday, September 27, 2021 10:51 PM Not correct. It will tell you that you don’t have any tomes to use if you try to upgrade a soldier when it is in battle starting in Mission three. If it is not in battle it will work as it has always done.

Tomes are for as you did, upgrading workers to a higher class. Such as you stated a chef or serf. In order to upgrade a soldier you need to have appropriate equipment in the barracks. No eq no upgrading. In mission 1you cannot have anything but knights and archers. Mission 2 introduces the tannery so you can make pikemen. In mission 3 it introduces the stables to make cavalry. Just make appropriate gear and your workers will take it to the barracks where you can upgrade soldiers. When you want to upgrade a soldier, just select them and press shift U. That should bring up a menu of what do you want to make with this soldier and will tell you how many of each you have in your barracks. It will also say if you have none also for a certain military type. If it is talking about no tome then you do not have focus on a soldier. Make sure you are changing a character from their previous job to soldier, switching to the soldier section, selecting them, an then pressing the shift U. As for farms. Yes some times those take a small back seat. Keep hunters out there getting animals for butchering. But try to get them going as soon as you can. 1 farmer can handle 2 farms. You might see me on there every now and then also. Say hi and ask any questions you have. Good luck.

While it ties up a worker, the chef gives more food energy than a regular cook. Are you playing the multi-player version? If so, I can sign on and help you.

Hello, everyone, So, I finally beat mission 2 of Castaways yesterday! Yay! Unfortunately, as the subject suggests, I'm having trouble upgrading soldiers to knights or rangers in mission 3. What the heck is going on? I could swear I used to be able to do this in missions 1 and 2, by pressing shift+u on the soldier in question and then selecting what I wanted them to train as, but nodw that just says I don't have any tomes. So, in the later missions, do I need tomes to upgrade soldiers? If so, that is really annoying. I have armor and a cloak in my barracks, so I'm really not sure what the problem is, for pity's sake! Can anyone help me out? I also seem to have people constantly on the edge of starvation, but luckily no one's died from that yet. I seem to have made that go down a little by making sure I have enough houses for everyone, but that's only helped a little. I know I have to have more than one farmer per farm, i.e., have 3 farmers for 2 farms, but I only have so many people to work with at the moment, so farming optimally has to get put on the back burner for the moment. I'm trying to keep the damn enemy off my back right now, and that's tricky to do when the attacks are outpacing my population growth! Lol I really love this game! I can play it for hours and not get bored! :) Thanks, Ari -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
