New hordes must often be protected until they are large enough to survive on their own. Recruiting a new Lord from your horde starts a new horde. Horde growth can be increased by razing settlements. However unlike normal factions where usually only the main settlement building requires population growth to upgrade, many horde buildings require population growth to be built/upgraded. Horde growth generates population surplus as normal. Instead of normal growth, hordes have Horde Growth. However, they can still face attrition due to corruption (or lackof) and terrain. Horde faction buildings often don't generate much income, so horde factions rely on the money they get from winning battles and sacking/razing enemy settlements to get money.īecause hordes do not occupy settlements, they are not affected by climate or regional occupation. This also means horde armies cannot garrison a settlement.

Horde armies have a maximum of 10 building slots when fully upgraded.Īs horde factions cannot take over a settlement, they will always sack/ loot/ raze it after conquering. Instead they have their armies enter encamped stance to quickly create buildings before moving on. Hordes don't occupy settlements on the campaign map.
