Mount & Blade 2 Bannerlord food shortage in settlements is one of the many problems you might encounter in the game, which is when people in your settlements start starving and your Food number is in the negative. This is a pretty bad situation, and one you should solve as soon as possible. There are several things that you can try, but they -Being a mechant and going full trade to buy the settlement (i wanted a war-like character, damm) -Being independent and conquer by force (ive tried like 4 characters doing this while independent, was so hard to even conquer a castle). Activate the mod in the mods section of the bannerlord launcher. Activate cheats using the conventional method or by typing the command config.cheat_mode 1 directly into the console (opens with CTRL+^) Type the command campaign.destroy_party "name of Lord/Party/Companion". Although nowhere near as effective as starving the city out, you can also lower their security, which affects loyalty slightly. Completing the "gang leader needs weapons" quest for example will lower settlement security by 30 IIRC. They will make it in time, though. Last edited by Kernest ; Dec 13, 2022 @ 12:07pm. #10. If you have a clan rank of 2-3, you will probably only get 1 fief until you get up to 4. When you become one of the more powerful clans at 4, you will be given a lot more. I had 1 castle for the longest time, but as soon as I hit 4. I was given 2 more castles and a city. If the workshops are in your own city at least you can defend them. Good point, I think I will just get the work shops in my city, thank you. Honestly, I would probably look for a city deep within Aserai territory with high prosperity and buy a workshops there. They're liable to be more profitable, and you run less risk of losing them during war. If you get lucky, you may find a town that is defended with a very small number of troops. Once you’ve take over the town you need to select the “Go to the keep option”. Then, in the next set of options, select the “Open Stash” command. This lets you stash items in this town for use later. While we’ve yet to lose a town, there’s a Nevermind this thread, I just got her knocked up lol. Waiting in an owned settlement for 10 straight days did the trick. 5. aquietfrog. • 3 yr. ago. yeah, load up on food and wait in a well garrisoned town. keep it running and go do some errands. you'll come back with at least a couple of kids. timetravelhunter.
