Isn't there supposed to be a morality system that discourages that, if the player wants positive fame? Also, it happened twice in a row that the Marbian mobs burned the shadow institute on the turn it was built.
I think you might be over expanding too quickly. The game currently punishes you for not playing it slow and safe, you should stabilize each fiefdom in terms of buildings, Obedience and Morale before taking the next fiefdom.
To be honest, I'm not entirely happy about this as this forces the player to play very slowly in order to win. There
should be another way to play, an option to conquer more quickly with the tools to do so and increased risks for those opting for this route. But I'm not sure yet how to implement this without complicating the game.
Does anyone know if there's a way to cheat? I can't seem to get more troops at all. Does anyone know how to do it?
1. In the Settings -> Game Settings switch VN Mode on. But if still want to try...
2. ...Troops are randomly
yielded automatically by the fiefdoms. Happier (Morale) fiefdom have a higher chance to
yield every turn. Maximum Troops is {30 + (20 for each fiefdom you control after the first)} so initially you have max Troops of 30, after taking Oryenguk/Marbia 50, the next fiefdom you take 70 etc.
...You can also increase your troops by building garrisons I think it was
Garrison allow you to "convert" Troops in the fiefdoms into Obedience.
