The Family is the basic unit of your population management.

General

All your people are organised into families, except for your retinue. Families are groups of 3 people, consisting of husband, wife and son, execpt for your 5 starting families. Those start only with husband and wife. The son will show up, as soon as the family moves into a burgage plot.

A family is considered a fix unit, meaning:

  • All of them work at the same place.
  • All of them live in the same place.

Your militia is formed by the husbands and sons of your families. When you rally your militias, the corresponding husbands and sons will stop their work and instead join the militia.

Immigration

You gain new families through immigration. The immigration rate depends on your approval and ranges from -3 to +3 per month. Immigration only happens, when there is available living space. For the first 12 months all settlements get an additional +1 immigration per month.

Consumption

Every family consumes the following:

  • 1 Food per month
  • 1 Ale every 3 months1
  • 1 Cloth every 6 months
  • 1 Shoe every 12 months

1: Ale only gets consumed once it is stored in a tavern and a member of the corresponding family goes to said tavern.

Housing

Families will automatically occupy available living space. Each family occupies 1 living space. The burgage plots are occupied in order they were build.

You cannot move a family from one burgage plot to another.

Workplaces

Every family can be assigned to a building. If a family is not assigned anywhere they count as 'unassigned'. While assigned families focus on their assigned workplaces, unassigned families focus on construction work. Both can and will guide oxen.

Working priority of non artisan families:

  1. Construction (only if unassigned)
  2. Backyard extension (vegetable garden & orchard)1
  3. Assigned workplace (only if assigned)

1: Only wife and son will tend the backyard. The husband will ignore any work in the backyard.

If you upgrade burgages to smallholdings even the husband will work in the backyard.

If you build a tier 2 backyard extension, all families of that burgage plot will become artisans and focus solely on their backyard.

Sickness

Families can get sick. When sick, all family members are unable to perform any work. The sickness duration depends on wether you have available.

  • without herbs: 1 Week
  • with herbs: 1 Day

Interface

Informations about families can be found in the top-bar of the user interface.

  • Displays the number of unassigned families.
