How do i build and/or upgrade an outpost? Do i go for a patrol or it is in the Hire menu? I already got the Smithy dialogue about getting help from the merchants, but i cant figure out how to do it

hire button:
Click on that, and then click on the region you want to build an outpost in. The options are on the left side of the screen:
The three buttons at the bottm there let you build/upgrade, repair, and resupply.
If you are missing the hire button, you need to progress the story. You also can't build the outposts after the army leaves - but you can resupply / repair them while on patrol by clicking on the outpost button:
which will bring you to this screen:
In the next version (2.5+) the bug about not being able to work on them during winter is fixed. Sorry about that! I'm hoping to get that version out on Itch.io this weekend as long as I don't run into any big problems!
