Hey, Can someone give me some tips with Economic mission 4?

Its the mission with the raiders attacking, while at the same time you are trying to raise your honor, ale stock and get pilgrims to the inn.

I have tried it three times now and can't seem to get it down! Its so difficult to raise the troops, when you are also desperately trying to get your production up and running as fast as possible.

I find that I need to wait until I have at least 15 macemen before I have a good chance of taking out the camp... this means I need an iron mine, foundry, and stable food supply bringing in extra peasants that I'm not using. By that time in the game, half of my game clock has run out!

Suggestions?

Focus on getting a bit of an economy up early on, make sure you clear out the ruins to free up extra space for economy. One thing you can do to save up some troops early on is to just let your lord fight off the first few waves of outlaws. Head straight for the bandit camp once you have about 15~20 macemen. Also: don't forget to build torture machines early on to increase overall production.

One last thing: you need 20 pilgrims in your town to complete the mission. Once you clear out the bandit camp the pilgrims will start coming through in a decent pace and it won't take long before 20 of them will have reached your town, so don't be afraid to wait until half of the clock has run out to clear out the camp.

Thanks, I think I just need to focus on not outgrowing my pace. Like I set up too much economy I think, then it becomes a burden to feed them all..

Also, thanks for the punishment tip, I kept placing happiness things to keep my popularity up. Didn't know that was killing my efficiency.

I'll give it a try later on tonight and see how I fare.
