Districts in "Kingmaker"


Kingmaker


Hi All,

Couple of Kingmaker questions:

1. Are there any limit to the number of districts that can coexist in the same city in Kingmaker?

2. Can you have more than one city in a hex?

Thanks in advance!


As far as I understand:
1. Nope, city can have any number of districts but each district increases consumption by 1. (not 100% sure on this, however)
2. No. One city per hex.


So in game terms, what's the difference between having 2 cities (in separate hexes) with one district each, versus having one city with two districts?

Thanks!


Flagging this to be moved to the kingmaker forums. You will likely get a better response there.

Edit:
In case you arent aware you can find the kingmaker formus here

There are several buildings where you can only have one per city. So for example, even if you have 10 districts, you could still only have one waterfront.


On the other hand base value of multiple districts in single city stacks up allowing larger purchases while multiple cities have separate base value preventing buying more costly items.


It's much, much harder to defend two cities than it is to defend one city. Especially since you're only intended by the rules to be able to have one army.

Actually, a city can take up more than one hex.

Really? I'm GMing Kingmaker right now, and I wouldn't let one city cover two hexes. A hex is 12 miles across - that's the distance across the city of Toronto, which is 2.2 million people. There's no way that a single medieval city - especially one with a population of a few thousand - is going to take up more space than that.

The actual "town" doesn't cover more than one hex. But the City property can and does take up more than one hex.

Nope. City only takes up 1 hex, no matter how many districts in it.

Furthermore @Fozbek: you can have as many armies as your nation can afford.

The advantages of multiple cities are multiple 1/city buildings, and multiple places to house your armies across your vast kingdom. Plus vanity!

Yeah, I'm with DM on this one. I'm curious to know where your information is coming from, since you're pretty firm in the language you've chosen to use. I'm fairly certain that I read either here or in one of the books exactly what DM said, which is exactly the opposite of your point.

Sorry. I was confusing the term "City" with "Kingdom". My mistake.
