BB 4.24 Mini Manual

**LaMuerte** · December 16, 2012, 08:31 AM

Hi folks,

It has come to my attention that a lot of new BB players are having difficulties discovering some of the wonderful options that are available in this mod. I guess there are even some veterans out there who don't know all of the options. Here's my attempt to clarify things a bit. I will not be covering the whole mod , just some of the basic options unique in BB that are easy to miss. My manual will be very brief , because the options are very well explained ingame. (Thanks to Taiji)

1.Defence Spending

To access defence spending , click on a settlement , then press the button I marked.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

2.Unit Limit Information

To access Unit Limit Information , click on a settlement , then press the button I marked

3.Financial Overview/Economic options

Here you can learn more about your upkeep (which can vary according to your defensive spending , size of your settlements , ...) , the state of your realms' economy , and inflation. You can also invest in your economy , but only if you have built a synagogue and have at least 10.000 florins at the start of the turn. You can invest up to 100.000 florins , and receive interest for it each turn .(interest varies according to the health of the economy) If you are in dire financial straits , you can also lend money.
To access the overview press the button I marked.

4.Government/Military Points

And to know how much military/government points you have (which you need to upgrade settlements) , press the button I marked.

Nice! Much needed as BB changes alot I think most people don't realize until they get further into a campaign.

Quick question regarding taking a loan. Where is the repayment option? There is no button for accepting or declining to repay outstanding credit like that of investments. I have had far more then the amt of my outstanding credit in my bank several turns now, with no apparent option to repay.

thx.

Kshar , I combed out the BB thread , and couldn't find the answer to your question. I've never really used the option myself (I'm afraid of loans) , so I really can't tell you the answer. Tried it myself just now , and like you said there seems to no option to repay your loan.

The only reference I could find from Taiji in regard to loans was this :

'You need 10k to make an investment, and be in the minuses to take a loan. It should be working, and I think it should work with the master templars and of course the bank too.'

Perhaps there is a minute chance a script got mixed up , and that you might need a master templars or a bank to repay your loans. Wish I could test it out myself right now , but I just recently started a new campaign , so I haven' t got any advanced buildings / guilds yet. Also I've got no old saved games anymore since I got a new computer recently. Perhaps someone else can test this out , if not , I can give more answers when I can build those buildings. (which might take a long time)

Hey buddy, I really appreciate you looking into this! I'll try to get a bank up asap.

Early game as Byz is a serious squeeze on the finances and I didn't want to offend any more of my nobility lol.

Very good LM. Together with the Lets Play, this might be the bits that will make me give DLV a chance, because Im currently whaiting on a brand new gaming computer coming around my mail bag.
