Thread: mass upgrading buildings

    Default mass upgrading buildings

    I thought E:TW was going to feature a method to perform a new available building upgrade on all available buildings at a time?

    is this in the game somewhere, and I'm completely missing out on it? my empire has grown quite large and I'd much rather spend more time on the battlefield than playing "find the upgrades".

    I dont know about that. There is a feautre that is somewhat similar. In your cities you can have multiple buildings being built at the same time. You still have to pay for their construction though.

    I'd just like to completely hijack your thread here for a second if you don't mind...

    How come in some conquered provinces the only building is a small governors mansion and you can't upgrade or build anything except settlement defences? I have a few regions where i can't recruit a single thing, not even militia, but i can't upgrade the governors mansion. If i mouse over the governors mansion the second level of it doesn't come up, nothing comes up, the only thing present in the region capital is a governor mansion and a construction site which leads to small settlement defences.

    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?

    I had the same question yesterday. A Very Sper Market told me this:

    "Each city has a fixed amount of slots. Minimum is one, max is five.

    Capitals ('Cept for Berlin) all have five slots. They are the Government building, leisure building, barracks, admiralty, and cannon maker
    Large cities ('Cept Koenigsberg) have four slots. They take away the admiralty.
    Cities have 3 slots. I think they take away the leisure building
    Minor cities have 2 slots, they take away the cannon maker
    Small cities have one. It is simply the government building.
    And all cities have walls.


    As far as I know, you cannot upgrade slots, only the buildings that come in them"

    The manual was pretty light, we are all just kind of learning the game as we go. I am not sure If these cities can be upgraded as the population expands to allow more buildings. I am guessing that not many cities in the game will upgrade because of the limited timeframe and small growth rate. So if you have a city that can only build two things, thats probably all that it will be able to build.

    I'm beginning to doubt the presence of 2 or 3 slot cities, since I haven't encountered any yet, and it was an educated guess. Maybe because I play in heavily populated Central Europe, anyone see them?

    I've actually only seen one and five slot cities, but that was just in Sweeden and RtI. Both my 5 slot cities had over 1 million population, I think, maybe 500,000. The one slot cities had populations around 100k. Lol, I dont even know if population matters for how many slots a city has.

    in my marthras camp most of my cities have 3-4 building slots avaliable if this is what u are talkin about as for why u cant upgrade cities u take, i believe its because they are the wrong building for your faction destroy them and rebuild your factions govenors palace then try.

    eg. when spain traded me an american province and a european province for one of mine i couldnt build anything and all i could train was peasants in europe, and native auxilliaries in america, i destroyed the govenors villa thing and rebuilt with 1 of mine, hey presto i can recruit my units and build my buildings

    Cheers knoddy

    No, we meant that if your city has one slot for buildings, you can't upgrade it to two slots.

    For towns and mines and so forth, there are spinning hammers above them when they can be upgraded I think, other than that it's almost harder to manage construction than before since the list of completed structures doesn't pop cities up the same way. I find it refreshing not being able to build everywhere all the time though, due to lack of funds.
