The knowledge menu

Many things requires at least one of the lords to have the prerequisite knowledge. Lords that are at least 12 years old gain knowledge by reading or rewriting books, which are housed in the Library. In the Knowledge menu lords can be assigned to study and rewrite books. After studying a book, the lord will be able to create a copy of it using 3 Paper.png Paper. The knowledge menu will display which lords know which knowledge.

Books are mainly bought from the Holy Caravan, who will always sell any missing book as long as its requirements are met. If a lord knows a book they can also write it.

If assigned to read, the lord will do that all day unless they are satisfying a need. If assigned to rewrite, the lord will do it between 9 AM and 6 PM. Other assignments and actions will be completed first before resuming either of these.

The speed at which books are read or written depends on the assigned lord's Intellect.png Intellect skill. Both decrease Rest.

Very rarely, if a lord's Mood is high and they are managing a building they may gain a random knowledge. It can also happen as a result of nervous breakdowns. The chance for both is affected by the lord's Intellect.png Intellect skill.

Every city will start with the Mine and Rye Field and Mill books. Additional books can be added by the selected scenario.

Books come in three levels of rarity, which determines their price, the required Intellect.png Intellect skill to read them and the chance of being shared during a Wise Conversation.

  • Advanced books need at least 9 skill to read and have a 2% chance of being shared
