Majesty the fantasy kingdom sim
The level of the destination marketplace is the multiplier used on the amount of gold carried by caravans, and so you want all of your destination marketplaces to be level three. The exception to the rule occurs with trading posts. They'll cost about the same but the former will produce over twice as much gold as the latter. That means it is far more profitable to have, for example, three level one marketplaces than one level three marketplace.
MAJESTY THE FANTASY KINGDOM SIM UPGRADE
The important thing to realize about marketplaces is that they initially produce 250 gold per game day (before modifications and item sales), and each upgrade only adds 50 gold per day.
3.3 Making Money - The best building for generating gold is (without surprise) the marketplace. Specifically, you should put them next to your marketplaces to protect them against trolls, and you should put them next to sewers to prevent sewer rats from killing your peasants and tax collectors. The place to use guardhouses is in your interior defense. Dwarven settlements are also a good selection. It has 800 hit points, and, if creatures attack nearby and none of your heroes respond, you can always use the call-to-arms option to bring your warriors home to quash the threat.
Instead, use your guilds on the perimeter, and especially those guilds that have lots of hit points. The guardhouse still won't stop anything, but it gives wizards something to hide behind as they attack the enemy. The only time I use guardhouses on the perimeter is to protect a wizard guild. They are expensive and incredibly weak, and there are numerous creatures that can destroy them single- handedly. 3.2 Defenses - For your perimeter defense, don't rely on guardhouses. It might still be difficult to initially select the unit, but at least this way you'll never miss. Instead of selecting the spell and then clicking on the unit, you can select the unit, then select the spell, and then click on the unit's portrait on the interface bar on the left side of the screen. However, there is a way to get around this. You'll be just as likely to cast the spell on an enemy unit as you will be to cast it on your own. And during combat, when you want to cast heal or invisibility or some other spell on one of your heroes, it can be almost impossible. GAMEPLAY NOTES * ********************* 3.1 Casting Spells on Your Heroes - Even at the best of times it is difficult to select units. Note, though, that this will erase anything you might have done in Majesty NE before copying and pasting the files.
Now just rename questdata.sav (in the Majesty NE directory) to questdata_majx.sav. Go back to the directory where you installed Majesty NE and paste the two files you just copied. Go to the directory where you installed Majesty FKS and copy the files hiscores.sav and questdata.sav. Go to the directory where you installed Majesty NE and delete the files hiscores.sav and questdata_majx.sav. There's an easy method to restore your data. TECHNICAL NOTE * ********************* If you started up Majesty NE and were dismayed to see all of your high scores and playing times gone, don't despair. Both have (or will have) walkthroughs for the quests. Two good unofficial sites are Your Majesty's Castle () and the Majesty Command Center (). The official Majesty web site () has forums where you can ask questions, but please do a search first to see if people have already discussed the topics you're interested in. If you read my walkthroughs and they don't work for you, or if you'd simply like to see other approaches or more information for the quests, there are a few web pages that you might find useful. You can use these times as a frame of reference for how you're doing - or for entertainment value in the case of ``Wrath of Krolm.'' I think my times qualify as good but not great. I've also included my best playing times for each quest. I used version 1.3 for Majesty FKS and 1.1.0.7 for Majesty NE. In the sections below I'll provide fairly detailed walkthroughs for the quests, and I'll also give some (hopefully) useful playing tips. INTRODUCTION * ******************* This is mostly intended to be a resource for people having trouble solving the advanced, expert, and master quests of Majesty: the Fantasy Kingdom Sim (Majesty FKS) and its expansion pack, Majesty: the Northern Expansion (Majesty NE).
