At present, the most useful of Talleyrand's five talents is naturally [Master Trade], followed by [Knowledge of People]. Is this [Knowledge of People] different from Lorenzo's [Intermediate Detection]?
Similarly, [Intermediate Detection] is to increase the probability of talents appearing, while [Knowledge of People] is to directly tap talents, but the probability of the latter is much lower than the former.
Among the remaining three talents, [Foresight] and [Grandmaster Negotiation] are currently unavailable, and I don’t know which talent is more useful. At present, [Foresight] is more functional, while [Grandmaster Negotiation]
More realistically, after all, a master-level talent is the highest-level talent.
(NPC talents are divided into six levels: elementary-intermediate-advanced-expert-master-grandmaster)
As for the last talent [Quyi Yingying], this talent is a talent with mixed positives and negatives. The positive effects seem to be quite large, but the negative effects are even more disturbing.
However, no matter how negative this talent is, it is impossible not to recruit such a strong Talleyrand. Yun Xiaohan will not stop eating due to choking, and according to the talent, he will not betray his side unless he is at a disadvantage. Although his favorability has increased
It's slow, but it doesn't mean it won't rise. You can still take your time.
Since Molière and Talleyrand were both candidates for recruitment, they had to recruit at three times the price. Molière's recruitment fee was 6,000 gold, while Talleyrand's was 12,000 gold. At this price, Yun Xiaohan could only recruit
It's like Molière alone.
Fortunately, this is the first recruitment with a bounty in the entire "Decision". Yun Xiaohan has achieved an achievement recognized by the game - "Thirsty for Talents", but this achievement has no additional effects. Yun Xiaohan has not discovered it yet.
Is there any practical use for this? It seems to just look good.
Yun Xiaohan would naturally not be happy if he just got a useless achievement, but in addition to the achievement, the game also gave a big discount. Yun Xiaohan only needed to pay half the price for this recruitment, and no need to pay
Full payment.
In this way, it's 3000 gold plus 6000 gold, for a total of 9000 gold. Although it's still a bit distressing, I can finally recruit, and you can't miss this 50% off discount. There won't be such a discount next time.
In addition, you should know that NPCs with 9 stars or above are very difficult to spawn. Yun Xiaohan suspects that it may be because this is the first recruitment recruitment in the game that such a powerful NPC is spawned. Three times the high-priced bounty may also be an important factor.
Reason, so he couldn't miss it even more.
Professional talents do not need to do recruitment tasks. Yun Xiaohan directly spent 3,000 gold to successfully recruit Molière.
Talleyrand had to complete his recruitment mission. Fortunately, although his mission requirements were a bit complicated, they were not too difficult.
Talleyrand was a fan of officials, and he was a baron himself, so he required that the lord be a viscount or above;
Secondly, you must own an idle fief or have the right to build a fief, and reward him with a fief within half a year (two months in real time). If you do not reward him, he will run away;
In the end, he could only serve as chief trade officer and could not accept other positions. In addition, he had to be given a letter of appointment to appoint him to manage a city.
Of these three requirements, the first requirement is what it should be, and the third requirement is nothing. With his high political and diplomatic potential, he is more suitable to be a trade official. As for appointing him to manage a city, Yun Xiaohan has nothing to do with it.
There is still one letter of appointment left, so there is no problem. With someone helping him manage the territory, he can feel more relaxed.
Only the second request is a little too much. Talleyrand asked for a fief before he had accomplished anything. He was a little greedy. If he really wanted to give it, the favorability of other NPCs would probably drop a bit, and Yun Xiaohan also wanted to keep a piece of the fief.
I have the town in hand, so I can come here prepared. Fortunately, Talleyrand also knew this and gave him two months of buffer time to see if he could perform meritorious deeds within two months.
After agreeing to Talleyrand's three requests and paying 6,000 gold, Yun Xiaohan successfully recruited Talleyrand.
In this way, Yun Xiaohan spent 9,000 gold all at once, and the capital reserve of 11,478 gold was suddenly reduced to only 2,478 gold. It was really like spending money like water.
After recruiting new NPCs, and considering Talleyrand's previous request, Yun Xiaohan made some adjustments to the existing positions and appointed Talleyrand as the chief trade officer of the city of Ajaccio.
The city's original trade chief, Kos, was changed to the trade chief of Ivas City, and the original trade chief of Ivas City, Kasjok, was changed to the trade adjutant of Ajaccio.
In terms of appointments, Garibaldi was appointed to manage the city of Ajaccio, Maurice was appointed to manage the city of Bastia, and Talleyrand was appointed to manage the city of Ivas. In this way, Yun Xiaohan did not have to worry about the construction of the three cities.
Just leave enough funds on the territory's books.
In addition, the consuls of the territory also need to be adjusted. Yun Xiaohan can only appoint three consuls at present. The three previously appointed were Garibaldi, Senya, and Lorenzo.
The greatest use of the Archon is that its talents are effective in the entire territory. Garibaldi's [Nobility and Integrity] and Senya's [Encourage Fertility] are both very useful and are not suitable for replacement. The only one that can be replaced is Lorenzo.
Compared with Talleyrand's [Knowledge of People] and [Master Trade], his [Intermediate Detection] is not that useful and can be temporarily abandoned.
Moreover, after removing the position of consul, Lorenzo's [Intermediate Prosecution] can still be effective in the city of Bastia where he is located, so it is not completely useless.
After completing the appointment, the trade volume of all goods in the territory has greatly increased. Players can purchase more goods at one time when running merchants, instead of having to travel to several cities to collect a shipment of goods as before.
Especially the city of Ajaccio. Since Talleyrand served as the chief trade officer of the city, and influenced by its nine-and-a-half-star political and diplomatic potential, the trade volume of the city of Ajaccio increased particularly much, quadrupling.
Not only that, the current situation is that the city of Ajaccio has a serious shortage of goods. Players can quickly buy up all the goods that have just been produced (refreshed once), and players who arrive later will not be able to buy them.
{The purchase amount of goods in "Decision" is related to the player's commodity trading skills. For example, if a merchant player's textile trading skill is level 4, and one of the several specialties in this city is velvet, then he will
You can buy up to 30, but without textile trading skills you can only buy 10 at a time. The higher the relevant trading skills, the more you can buy. In addition, local reputation will slightly affect the purchase amount, and if the reputation is insufficient, some specialties will not be sold to you.
Since it is open to players, it cannot be purchased. After reading these elements, we will then look at whether there are other trade quota bonuses, such as the political and diplomatic potential and related talents of trade officers.
Although "Decision" is claimed to be a simulation, the game is a game, and balance is more important. Money cannot be rolled out like in reality. The more money, the easier it is to make money, which would be unbalanced. In reality, rich people invest once and don't have to make money again.
Invested.
In addition, the cost for players to run a business is not much. If the ship is small, the cost of 2 to 3 gold is enough to run it. For larger ships, it generally only costs about 5 gold. No matter how much money the player has, he cannot buy a better ship.
, you can only run with so much money.
Moreover, running a business requires more attention on the player's understanding of business routes, control of price fluctuations, etc. It is a technical job, and the brain is even more critical. If the player does not know how to run, he will not make money, and may even lose money due to price fluctuations.
Therefore, professional combat players generally need to find merchants to take them with them. On the one hand, after forming a team, they can share the buying and selling skills of their teammates (negotiation-related skills such as accounting and eloquence cannot be shared, and professional merchants will change their buying and selling prices.
Taking advantage), on the other hand, if a professional combat player has no experience, he will not be able to run well.}
Ajaccio City Tavern is not the only one that refreshes talents every week. Yun Xiaohan was anxious to see the results of the bounty recruitment, so he teleported directly back to Ajaccio City, so now he has to go to Bastia City and Yili City.
Check out all the taverns in Gas City.
Let's go to Ivas City first. There was no special NPC spawned in Ivas City this week, so Yun Xiaohan went to the Mining Guild to collect today's crystals, and then teleported to Bastia City.
Yun Xiaohan did not return empty-handed in Bastia City. An NPC named Amadou appeared here.
Amadou has 1 star for management and leadership potential, half a star for political and diplomatic potential, 6 and a half stars for personal combat potential, 2 stars for both army and navy command potential, and has a talent.
[Fanatical and Warlike]: Loves fighting, but occasionally loses his mind during combat and enters a frenzied state, unable to accept any instructions, but can still distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. When not entering the frenzied state, all attributes increase by 10%, and after entering the frenzied state, all attributes
Attributes are increased by 20% and are immune to some controls.
This is a rather science-oriented official NPC, with only a relatively high personal combat potential, reaching 6 and a half stars.
Amadou's recruitment fee is the normal price, only 60 gold. Compared with Molière and Talleyrand, it is a world of difference. It is really too cheap, but Molière and Talleyrand are the same as Amadou.
The comparison is obviously unfair. In fact, Amadou is already a pretty good official NPC. If other territories had such an NPC, they would be very happy.
That is to say, the higher the quality bonus of various talents in the Viscounty of Corsica, the easier it is to produce high-quality special NPCs.
Amadou is an elite template, so he naturally needs to do recruitment tasks. His recruitment tasks are quite simple and straightforward. It is difficult to say, but not difficult to say. You can just defeat him, but you can only fight one on one.
His personal combat potential is as high as 6 and a half stars, and he also has the [Fanatical] talent. If Yun Xiaohan goes to fight him, he will definitely not be able to beat him. Fortunately, this challenge does not require the lord to do it himself, only Yun Xiaohan's
Any subordinate in the territory can defeat him. This subordinate can be a player or an NPC. There are no restrictions on NPCs, but if it is a player, the player must have joined the territory for more than a month. It is not possible to find a player temporarily.
.
In addition, there is another point that needs to be noted, that is, there is only one challenge opportunity. Once Amadou fails, he will leave and cannot be recruited. There is also a small reminder in the task requirements. The faster Amadou loses, the more miserable he will be.
, the higher his initial favorability will be after joining the territory.
Without these restrictions and tips, Yun Xiaohan could still arrange for a few more people to try, but now that there are these restrictions and tips, in order to strive for safety and to make Amadou's initial favorability higher, Yun Xiaohan arranged the territory
Parolo, who has the strongest personal fighting ability among them, comes to fight him.
Parolo's personal combat potential is 7 and a half stars, and he is a dragonborn warlock who is good at fighting. He should be able to defeat Amadou, it just depends on how fast he wins.
The result of the duel was indeed not beyond Yun Xiaohan's expectation. Even though Amadou entered a frenzied state during this duel, he still only lasted for more than 3 minutes before being knocked down. (NPC HP
If it’s more, play it slower, 3 minutes is already quite fast)
After defeating Amadou and paying another 60 gold, Yun Xiaohan successfully recruited him.
Although it is easy for Yun Xiaohan to recruit Amadou, it is difficult to change to other territories. Yun Xiaohan can't even defeat him. At this stage, no player can defeat Amadou in a one-on-one fight, and neither do the NPCs in other territories.
There is no way to defeat him, so I can only miss him.
In fact, this is the norm. NPCs that are refreshed in the player's territory will often be unable to be recruited. How can you hire him if the recruitment task is not completed, that is, those professional talents, and official NPCs with capable templates do not need to be recruited.
Only by completing the task can you successfully recruit.
But the most critical thing in the territory is those high-quality official NPCs. They can not only manage the territory for the player lord, but also fight for the player lord. Their importance is completely different. Therefore, many times, the problems that trouble the player lord are not the same.
It's not money. Like those guild territories, they collect money directly from members. It's not too difficult to collect money. What really makes players have no choice but to do it are those tricky recruitment tasks.
After completing the recruitment, Yun Xiaohan appointed Amadou as the chief guard of Ivas City. As long as his personal combat potential reaches 5 and a half stars, he can be appointed as the chief guard or adjutant of the personal guard. Amadou's personal
The battle has reached 6 and a half stars, so this appointment is definitely no problem.
In this way, Yun Xiaohan's three cities directly under the jurisdiction of Yun Xiaohan will all have personal guards.
Teleporting to the city of Ajaccio again, Yun Xiaohan went to recruit this week's cyclops. He now has 170 units of crystals. Recruiting a cyclops requires 200 gold and 50 units of crystals. He has neither money nor crystals. He recruits directly.
Just fine.
Yun Xiaohan recruited three Cyclops sub-giants at once. At this time, there was still a full 1121 gold in the territory's books. Yun Xiaohan did not need to dig into his own pocket. After paying 600 gold, there was still 1121 gold in the territory's books.
The remaining 521 gold is enough to support the construction of the territory.
