Quick question about the NPC's and buildings

[Pakuska]

So, I dont know if I was simply being a dumbass and didn't read it, but I tried to look for it in the wiki and on this forums but I cant find it. >.< What exactly is the use of the NPC's and their skills, and the buildings? Other then that you can switch to one using one of the glyph scrolls. I really like city management aspects, I loved hinterlands, which was a mix of RPG and city management, which sadly died out. And I know that if you save differnt npc's from differnt time lines you unlock them for when you die and can pick a new character out of that time line. =P

So this game is kind of a godsend and I hope it wont die out like hinterlands did.. but anyway. I digress. What use is their skills, what use are the buildings, except for raising their skills?

The buildings are solely used for upgrading the skills of your NPCs, said skills allow the use of the Guardian Powers that do something worthwhile, building windshelters, temporary buffs, and a variety of other things. If you go to the Big Honkin' Encyclopaedia and go to the guardian power section there is a full list.

The NPCs themselves, you can transfer your glyph to them and they make your settlement seem alive

First, Thanks for your reply's! I already knew about that glyph thing, but didn't know what terraziel said. It kinda dissapoint me though, I wish they did more, but maybe that will change in future updates.

Welcome to the forums   Yea, we hope to do a lot more with these too, but the abilities to build wind shelters, seek survivors, and get significant temporary buffs (for lieutenant/overlord battles, mainly) is already pretty important
