Just a minor question, why does the starting condition fortified village start with a Warehouse instead a Headquarter?

I don't know it, but let's look at some advantages:

  • The castle has more land than a headquarter
  • The warehouse cannot be simply destroyed by an attack from the distance, it must be destroyed by expansion
  • A Castle is a powerful military building which cannot be discovered as easy as the headquarter, and it can be used for launching attacks

It has also some disadvantages. But in general I think that this starting condition brings some variety to the game, it's interesting that not every starting condition starts with a headquarter...

Or do you think that it's a big problem?

It is just confusing since all other use a HQ and nowhere does it tell one that Fortified Village doesn't. I first assumed it was a bug/mistake.

I think that it's a feature and not a bug. But that villages start with only 5 soldiers looks like a bug to me. Maybe the whole starting condition "village" is a bug? face-wink.png

Village is meant as a hard-core starting condition.

Okay. Maybe I could be useful for AI training, if one wants to teach the AI how to use its resources in the best way.
