, how the Village differs from towns.

1. The Village does not save the player from seven-day death (after building the Administration aka Village hall it saves).
2. The Village has no fort (but there are structures that partially replace its functions). Accordingly, a siege of the village always takes place not on "native" ground, but on the corresponding territory where the village stands (reminder: battles for other towns without a fort take place "on site", and with a fort — on the native field of the castle, which is clear of obstacles).
3. The Village cannot appear as a random castle. Thus, if a player, starting the game, chose "random castle" as the starting castle, he will never start the game with a village. However, he can choose the Village from the list of towns (where it will occupy the last position) and intentionally start the game with it. This is done, firstly, because the Village gameplay-wise differs greatly from other castles (some maps may be impassable when starting as a Village), secondly, to emphasize its antagonism toward towns.
4. Each town corresponds to two classes of heroes — warrior and mage. The Village, due to underdeveloped magic (have you ever seen a peasant casting fireballs? Various strongholds can afford special battle mages, but our town is democratic, all heroes came from the people and fight for the benefit of the people), will have only one class of heroes: People.
5. The Village is characterized by extremely low prices for everything. A captured neutral Village will be an excellent secondary town, built up quickly and almost for free.

Village Buildings. Draft version.

Village Square.
Brings 250 gold per day. Can be upgraded to the Village Administration (there is no ordinary building screen; by clicking on the Village Square, the player receives an offer to build the Village Administration for 1250 gold). Adds several decorative houses to the town screen (between which the square itself is located).
Always built.

Village Administration.
Upgrade of the Village Square. Brings 500 gold per day. Allows building structures. Relieves the player from the seven-day limit. Increases the number of decorative houses.
Construction cost — 1250 gold (in accordance with general patterns). Requirements: Village Square.
Location on construction screen: first from left in top row.

Armory.
When defending the town, turns all Kulaks in the defending army into militiamen. After the battle, they return to their normal state.
Construction cost — 50000 gold, 18 wood, 20 ore.
Requirements: Smithy, Tavern, Khata.
Location on construction screen: first from left in top row.

Banya (Bathhouse).
Allows hiring the town guardian (Muzhik). Thus it performs a third of the Capitol's functionality (the other two thirds — increasing income and adding a third flag to the town; we don't need income, and there is nowhere to put a flag in my idea of the Village's appearance). Furthermore, since this is not a Capitol (although it takes its place), the rule "cannot build more than one Capitol" does not apply to the Banya — if desired, you can have a guardian in every village. However, this luxury is not cheap, and the daily income of the Village cannot be called large.
Construction cost — 10000 gold, 30 wood, 50 ore. Requirements: Absence of Celestial Cat Chair.
Location on construction screen: first from left in top row.

Celestial Cat Chair.
Allows hiring the town guardian (Catotitan). Thus it performs a third of the Capitol's functionality (the other two thirds — increasing income and adding a third flag to the town; we don't need income, and there is nowhere to put a flag in my idea of the Village's appearance). Furthermore, since this is not a Capitol (although it takes its place), the rule "cannot build more than one Capitol" does not apply to the Celestial Cat Chair — if desired, you can have a guardian in every village. However, this luxury is not cheap, and the daily income of the Village cannot be called large.
Construction cost — 10000 gold, 30 wood, 50 ore. Requirements: Absence of Banya.
Location on construction screen: first from left in top row.

Well.
Increases growth of all creatures in the town by 2. Clicking on the well opens the creature recruitment screen (which appears in towns when clicking on the fort and its upgrades).
Construction cost — 500 gold. Requirements: Village Administration.
Location on construction screen: second from left in top row.

Palisade.
When attacking a village, provides a defensive structure of the same name. The Palisade as a defensive structure is an analog of a moat; it is located exactly the same way (with the exception that it has a one-cell gap) as an ordinary (not "doubled", like in the Fortress) moat, just as it stops the movement of an enemy who falls into it, reduces its defense and deals damage. Appearance is identical to the Conflux moat (river). In the middle (on the line where gates are located in castles), it has a gap through which both attackers and defenders can pass; the width of the gap is one cell (meaning it can be simply plugged). The Palisade cannot be destroyed.
Construction cost — 2 wood, 1000 gold. Requirements: Well.
Location on construction screen: second from left in top row.

Gates.
If gates are built in the village, during the defense of the village, the hole in the middle of the palisade will be occupied by gates. They differ from ordinary castle gates in both appearance and properties. In terms of appearance: if ordinary castle gates look "vertical" and open by "falling" forward (forming a bridge), then our gates look quite low and open by sliding to the sides. On both sides they attach to the palisade. In terms of properties: they cannot be destroyed (neither by catapult, nor cyclopes, nor earthquake; if they could be destroyed, due to the absence of other destructible elements on the battlefield, this would happen on the first turn). Naturally, they open only for the defenders of the village. Thus, defenders can leave the town without hindrance (and enter it if necessary), while attacking infantry (flyers don't care) will have to go through the palisade with all the consequences. Unless, of course, the defenders are foolish enough to die in the opening of the open gates (blocking their closing).
Construction cost — 1000 gold. Requirements: Palisade.
Location on construction screen: second from left in top row.

Tavern.
Allows hiring heroes, learning rumors, increases defenders' morale by 1, provides thieves' guild services. Everything as usual.
Construction cost: 5 wood, 500 gold. Requirements: Village Administration.
Location on construction screen: third from left in top row.

Monolith
Upgrade of the Tavern. Possesses all its properties. Also possesses an additional property: During battle, you can flee to any town belonging to the defender :smile17: .

Too many peasants.

Too many peasants.

This is a peasant town.
Once, on DF2, they decided to make this town with different creatures. I like this! The project was abandoned, and I decided to revive it in my mod!

It's not interesting when a town has many creatures that are similar in concept. And instead of a bunch of peasants, you could add something else. Cows, for example. You also need to consider that it's a fantasy village, so it could also be inhabited by specific creatures. You could include not only people, but also representatives of other nationalities (like a dwarven miner, for example. He's also a villager). But a peasant at level eight (and not just at that level) seems like too much to me.

Link to the first concept that was created on DF2 and never saw the light of day - http://forum.df2.ru/index.php?showtopic=15047&st=0

I like that option better.

I like that option better.

But that project stalled. :( :( :(

So, bring him back! Or is there a problem with that? By the way, Xaar is still active on forums and can be found, for example, on Hugolka.

Peasants - nonsense
Nomads - Only if you make nomads from Heroes 3. But in the Fortress, they don't really fit. :)
Bulls - I have them on level 3 in Inferno.

Peasants are nonsense.
Jigits - Only if you make nomadic units like in Heroes 3. But in the Village, they don't fit in.
Bulls - I have them on level 3 in Inferno.

1) I agree.
2) I disagree: the Village can be multinational, as I already said. Otherwise, you won't be able to gather enough decent creatures.
3) It's bad, but you can insert another creature instead.

1) I agree.
2) I disagree: a village can be multinational, as I already said. Otherwise, there won't be enough normal creatures.
3) It's not ideal, but you can substitute it with another animal.

Regarding the jigits, they would fit well in the Stronghold. A dwarf, elf, goblin, or even a Krigan could be suitable for the village, but not a nomad – they are not permanent residents, but travelers.
Instead of the Bull, we'll use the Cat, an improved version of Vasinka.

Instead of a Bull, there could be a Cat, an upgrade for Vasinka.

:D No, I'm serious, you can put fantasy animals in a fantasy village. In Heroes 5, cyclops work in sawmills; here, you can also approach it in a non-standard way. For example, you could add some mobile plants: like a combat bush. Or you could assign a troll to the city. Or both, to reduce the number of peasants.

Regarding the horsemen – they would fit in the Stronghold. A gnome, elf, goblin, or even a Krigan could fit in the village, but not a nomad – they are not permanent residents, but travelers.

Okay, let's assume that. So, you could indeed add miners to the city.

Or you can assign a troll to the town.

A troll in the town already exists :D

There's already a Troll in the city.

Oh? Then I apologize, I haven't been paying much attention to this section lately. But we can still come up with something, right?

I meant the troll – the thread creator. He’s already suggested Vasinek and Kotov multiple times for his cities on the Dungeon forums. Now he’s moved here… Well, it’s some kind of entertainment, at least.
