I backed during Kickstarter, but am just now getting up to speed with the development of the game. At this point, I'm trying to get to grips with the settlements. I've tried reading forum posts and articles, but haven't found what I'm looking for. If there's posts or threads that would be helpful, that would be great.
At minimum, I'm thinking of upgrading to the Bloodline package, and acquiring a settlement. My first question is related to Mayors and Barons. How do you differentiate between the two, and if a settlement is claimed before the county has been claimed can you still go the baron route?
If you have a mayor package, can you claim a town, or are you limited to a village or hamlet? And if you decided to upgrade before launch, are you paying the full price, or the difference between the two? I hope that makes sense. I'm trying to figure out if it's worth starting with a settlement, or go straight to county.
If during the auction you claim a county, do you have to upgrade your pledge, or is Bloodline sufficient?
