Settlements
These are your life force. They are both civilian and military and without them you cannot generate money or troops so you don’t want to lose any to your enemies and you want to take ones away from your enemies.
Now there are two types of settlements:
Castles- These are military fortifications that have many walls and defences and are used to recruit specialized units and your nation’s most powerful ones.
The downside to castles is that taxation cannot be controlled (will talk about that later) and the population is much smaller then cities so you cannot recruit as many units from castles as you can from cities and also cannot generate as much income as the workforce is smaller.
As you can see this is Nottingham that I have selected. And if you look to the bottom there is a garrison of 3 units (1 archer and 2 spearmen) and I have recruited 3 more units on the right there (1 infantry squad and two Calvary squads) which would be finished recruited next turn and will show up next too the other 3 units at the bottom (I will talk about recruitment later).
Cities- These are your large, citizen filled, money making centres of your empire. They are big and full of people so they have far less defences with only one outer wall. As I said before because of the bigger population sizes more money can be made but they can also recruit large numbers of units that are not as elite as your fortress troops. Now the downsides to cities are they are harder to defend and controlling the population is harder (once again I will explain later).
Here we have your nations capital London being selected.
