Blacksmith guide and full gameplay in The Guild: Europe 1410
Follow a full gameplay session of this medieval life simulator.Take a close look at the blacksmithing mechanics and explore the practical stages of the updated demo to plan your economic strategy.
Your character has a limited amount of energy for activities such as courting, managing employees, or participating in civic duties.Energy gradually replenishes throughout the day, with a significant recovery at the start of the next day.Plan your priorities to invest your energy and time effectively.
Plan wages and treatment
Maximize employee wages from the start to boost their opinion of you and gain a substantial productivity bonus.Push treatment levels toward exploitation to receive an additional productivity boost—at the cost of worker opinion—and adjust the level daily as needed.
Buy a donkey cart
Upgrade from your initial goat-drawn cart to a donkey cart as soon as you can afford it.The donkey cart allows you to transport two resources—or two sets of the same resource—in a single trip, reducing travel time between the market and your businesses.
Gather resources directly at the source
Go straight to resource sources, such as mines, to save money compared to market prices.Resources cost 10% to 30% less at the source, lowering your overall expenses if you run a manufacturing business.
Build beehives
Explore the area around the city to look for bees and spend energy hunting for the queen.
Build a level-three apiary to generate two thousand gold pieces per turn without needing employees—you only need to handle the structure's maintenance.Managing character energy
Keep a close eye on the energy levels of your main character and your workers.Energy regenerates round by round and is required for a wide range of actions, such as honing talents or boosting productivity.If energy drops to zero, characters will collapse from exhaustion.
Buying materials at outlying markets
Send your carts to outlying markets rather than the city's central market to purchase raw materials like barley and spools of thread.These external markets offer significantly better prices for stocking your businesses during the early stages of the game.
Improving worker skills
Invest your workers' energy in training their crafting or negotiation skills.Assign tasks that match each worker's abilities to boost productivity and drastically reduce the likelihood of workplace accidents.
Managing elections and politics
Participate in elections at the council hall to climb the city's political ranks and earn noble titles.Use gifts, poems, or valuables to curry favor with voters and win public office.
