No units can be stationed/garrisoned at villages (are there exceptions? some towns seem to be more fortifiedy than others).
This means you need to babysit your villages to have them make any real profit. I've been trying to figure out how weekly pay works for these things (if you have some kind of comprehensive guide that I haven't been able to find, please link) and it's a little confusing.Īs far as I can tell, villages can be raided by enemy lords or occupied by bandits, reducing its 'prosperity' to zilch (not that I could find an actual numerical value of this) quite easily.
So I joined a faction (specifically Sarranid) and now I own 3 castles and 1 village.
