I just started another Fallout 4 playthrough, with Conqueror and the Conqueror Minutemen faction mod and i like the idea of conquering settlements (and defending and loosing settlements to other factions) a lot.
But reading the Conqueror "documentation" leaves me with a couple of questions. (I understand, that Conqueror is not finished, yet.)
So far i started with Red Rocket (who would have thought of that?), then Sanctuary, Abernathy, Ten Pines and then Greygarden, before i converted Red Rocket to an Outpost.
1) I do now have the option to attack my own settlements, that already grant me all of their resources, to convert them into Vassals. Does this make any sense? Is there any advantage of having a Vassal, over of having a vanilla Sim Settlement? According to the documentation (wiki) the Vassals do not even continue development. Their only advantage is, that the surplus gets automatically sent to the Outpost (which the IDEK's logistic station Sim Settlement addon building already manages for me - should i uninstall that addon? Does it feed my outpost, that otherwise would need vassals to get fed?)
1b) Is it necessary to convert Settlements to Vassals, so they will be attacked by other factions?
1c) If i conquere my own settlements with my Minutemen-Faction army, to make them Vassals, will Preston become an enemy?
1d) Can i still make the Vassals upgrade their settlement somehow, e.g. by supplying the required junk, or do they just completely stop development?
2) Is there a reason to have more than one Outpost?
2b) Can your Outpost(s) be conquered?
2b.b) Will Vassals of the conquered Outpost change owner?
3) Can your Vassals/Outposts be conquered by enemy factions while you're out doing quests, without a chance to help? E.g. just a message: Vassal X has been conquered, sorry, your 5 recruits and the little defense you had were just not enough. (Would be nice).
4) Who are the enemy factions in vanilla Conqueror? Do i need to download Conqueror faction mods to add enemy factions? (Or can i add additional enemy factions by doing so?)
4b) Do enemy factions have/create Outpost Settlements too?
4c) Are there any settlements in a new game that are already owned by a faction?
Thanks for any clarification!
