Quick Guild Question

[supadodo]

Unfortunately, building merchants do not count to the merchant guild. I checked it in the EDG. Only markets and income are taken.

The guides say you get 10 points for training a merchant. Are they wrong?

[supadodo]

These is taken from the EDG. I only copied parts where merchant guild is concerned. I've thoroughly checked the EDG.

Yup, no merchants in there. Before I checked the EDG, I also tried getting a merchant guild by building lots of merchants but with no success.

The guide isn't wrong, supadodo is. I suppose it helps to search on the word "merchant" when you're trying to find info on the merchant guild, as it was literally the first trigger I ran into by doing that.

Not only do you get 10 points in that settlement for training a merchant, you can also get 10 points toward merchants guild in all your settlements any time one of your merchants acquires an enemy merchant. If you can't get the merchant guild HQ and are certain you've done enough things to get it (don't forget you lose a point from each guild for every turn past 25) then it must be that one exists on the map already. Only ONE of each kind of HQ can be in existence in the entire world, and only one of each type of Masters guild can exist in any given faction. Those are the usual sources of confusion on why you can't get certain levels of particular guilds, and almost certainly the case here.

[supadodo]

Ahh you're right. My bad.

[Slicendice]

Pwnd!

I wouldn't say that Slicendice. He may have missed somethig but he still did some research and learned something at the end of the day.

You asked rather than research. Next time, rather than ask for a fish, try to become the fisherman ;)
