Settlements in a Hex


Rules Questions


How many settlements can be in a hex? Can there be multiple or only one per hex?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

I believe the intent is 1 per hex.

Silver Crusade

Though the settlement can have multiple districts. IIRC, each hex is supposed to be about 95 sq. miles, and each district is 1 sq. mile. so you could have up to 95 districts, in theory, though that hex would be pretty much useless for anything else (no farms, quarries, etc.).


yeah that is what I thought thanks! Also what are things that contribute to kingdom stats - other than Economy, Loyalty, Stability

Thanks what about the other question I just asked?


if the list is too long then Is there a place/ website I can see this at?


It's a very broad and big question with lots of answers.

Kingdom Building (sans spoilers).

I'm guessing you're going through Kingmaker? If so, you need to be aware that various events can and will also alter those stats or effects on your kingdom.

That site is entirely legal and is one of the best resources for games rules for Pathfinder, containing every legal Paizo and third-party resource that can be hosted on a website, with citations at the bottom of the appropriate page. Because the site sells stuff, they had to file off the specific names of things, so "Red Mantis Assassin" becomes "Crimson Assassin" or similar.

The Official PRD is actually run by Paizo, but is much less complete, and has occasionally-frustrating formatting (because it's organized by book instead of topic). There you can see it just like it's printed in the book (sans artwork), though not all the books are available, and navigation can sometimes be a bear.

Archives of Nethys is the third part of the "Trifectica" of great resources: it has things printed just as they are in the books (including specific names), is much more complete than the official PRD, but is less complete and less well-organized/searchable than the d20pfsrd.

Hope that helps! Good gaming! :D

Yeah that is the site my group uses everyday. Also we are not doing Kingmaker exactly we are having two groups one villains and one heroes they are both making a kingdom then fighting each other within the world. I just need to know what makes up those stats because I have been doing so much research (I am DM) and I am either just completely exhausted or there is not much on this topic.


You should also check out the PFSDB There are some formatting woes, but it keeps the original names and has a handy feat-chaining dealie that tells you what feats require your specific feat as a prerequisite.

I'm currently overhauling that system for my own group's use, so from memory i can say that Kingdom wise you have those 3 plus Fame, Infamy, Unrest, and Consumption.

You also have settlement(and hex) stats from the game master's guide (settlements section) defense, productivity, lore, crime, law, corruption, society, GP caps, etc.

Does that help?

(another resource option would be Legendary Games's Ultimate Rulership, which changes/revamps the ultimate campaign version. )
