Banish Useless Subjects
While you’ll focus onhow to get more subjectsin the beginning, eventually, you’ll find that there aretoo many Common subjectswith only a single trait. If they only havetraits like Bossy or Devious, they can easily become a threat to your reign.
attempt to keep abalance between the elderly, adults, and babies, along with a decent amount ofboth Commoners and Nobles.
Banishing themfrees up space for a better subject, and you’ll conserve resources by getting rid of one more mouth to feed. You can getmore subjects through packs and breeding, but don’t be afraid to banish the useless ones. Think of it as sending them off on an adventure if banishment seems too extreme.
Banishment is permanent, so make your selections carefully.
Go On Quests
Going on quests is one of thebest ways to gather materials, unlock new resources, and test your mettle. you may quest as many times as you like, so long as you have able-bodiedsoldiers willing to runinto the fray. Theyjust need some sort of weaponto get started.
The more quests you complete,the more resources you’ll unlockat your work stations. If you want to move intoharvesting wool and steelinstead of burlap and iron, you’ll have to progress further through the quest lines totake your castle into a better age.
Complete Your Duties
As a ruler, you have responsibilities. Completing them will grant you more experience, which willincrease your Dynasty Rankand unlock new decorations and work stations.
Theseduties serve as milestones and objectivesto guide you along as your castle grows. While they don’t need to be completed to play, theygive a sense of purpose and directionwhile providing early-game experience.
Participate In Events
Every few days, there arenew events for youto enjoy. While youmay not finish each and every one, as they tend to be short, participating in them will reward you with the event currency: Atronite.
Atronite can be used topurchase limited-time rewards and packs, saving you from spending your precious gems. Even if you can’t complete an event,try to participate a littleto get some of the benefits.
Fill Your Castle With Decorations
Work stations are the bread and butter of your castle, but there are other ways toenhance your domain. Building decorations grants unique buffs to subjects. Some willincrease the health of all, others will reduce hunger, and a few willincrease how much gold you makefrom completing orders.
You canonly make about ten of each decoration, so make the most of them!
Decorations cantake up anywhere from very little space to a whole room, but you can create new areas to store them all and reap the benefits. To trulymake your castle efficient, you’ll want to decorate it with everything you have.
Pick Powerful Couples
A couple can be made of any two subjects, and theiroffspring will be the futureof your castle. Picking which subjects to breed is important, as they’llpass on their traitsto their children.
Negative traits can be passed on as well, so make sure to reviewwhat traits meanin The Elder Scrolls: Castles!
Randomly selecting couples is a waste when theycan only have one child per day. Instead, selectively breed your higher quality subjects tocreate more Rare, Epic, and Legendary characters. They have more traits and can support the castle more.
Make Rulings Carefully
The rulings you make at the throne willimpact your kingdomand all the subjects within. At times, you’ll have topick sides between racesin a war, and whomever you support will devastate the other.
For example, theOrcs and Bretons are constantly at each other’s throats, and choosing one side will upset the other.
Your rulings cancause your subjects to become aggressiveand even assassinate the cause of their anger. Try tokeep the peaceand enjoy a long reign while you can.
Get The Emperor’s Pass Early
The Emperor’s Pass is anamazing deal for the rewardsyou can get each time you level up your kingdom. From gems to packs andLegendary subjects like Tiber Septim, the payoff is worth the investment.
Buying the Emperor’s Passonly grants access to the last five exclusive rewardsyou unlocked, so act fast to not lose them!
However, after you’ve gotten settled into your routine, theadditional benefits start to wean off. If you don’t get the Emperor’s Pass right away, it’s better to wait until youstart unlocking rewardsyou want again to purchase the additional boons.
