Okay - so I read the wiki (I think it's pretty out of date, right?), watched some YouTube videos, and then watched Kingarth's monstrous 2.75hr video he did back in July; I feel a little more educated on Conqueror and how things work. But after conquering my first settlement for Jammer last night I have a few questions.
1) I chose Starlight as my outpost. I chose max men. Jammer told me to get my butt over there to start the attack. I walk over there from Red Rocket; there are no attackers. There's no attacker marker. Starlight kicks off, I engage, I kill the targets. *THEN* the max-crew of warriors shows up all huddled in one corner of Starlight. A few of them are animating. Most aren't.
Now, in a previous game I attacked Hangman's Alley and had a similar experience: I turn up, my crew is there, I walk up to them, try to talk to them, but the attack doesn't kick off ... they don't move, they don't do anything.
From watching videos yesterday I can see that the attacking crew is MEANT to launch an assault, but for me they're not. They just hang about.
Are there any known mod conflicts I should be aware of or a known gotcha for sort order?
2) Happiness.
From Kinggarth's video he made it clear that you can ignore the numbers on the top of the screen for an outpost: food, water, defense etc. Personally seeing all red there drives me nuts, and then my warriors started to complain about lack of beds ... so *can* these numbers be ignored for happiness levels, or should I endeavor to keep them in the green as well? I trust KG, but my OCD is kicking in ...
3) The Conqueror HUD at the bottom of the screen: I know KG explained this during his 2.75hr video, but post video I've forgotten 90% of what he said. Is there a guide or something somewhere that explains the HUD? You know, picture, arrows for us simple folk.
