Fort SimionReport
English:Fort Simion · Locations
The Rebel Farmers' headquarters in Sinkuun, permanently a red dot on the map. Inside are a 20,000-Cat head, eight captains worth about 3,000 Cats each, and a barracks you can help yourself to.
Who the fuck are you? Be wantin' me bounty I 'spect, eh? That's all that ye traders, mercenaries and townies are interested in after all, ain't it? Don't matter who's pocket the Cats are in, as long as you can line yer own with 'em... — Boss Simion
Fort Simion is the Rebel Farmers' headquarters, in Sinkuun. Their leader, Boss Simion, lives in the Faction HQ.
Red dot, but not necessarily a fight
The town always shows a red icon on the map, even if you have no hostile relations with the Rebel Farmers.
The actual behaviour is more nuanced:
- The town guards will not attack unprovoked.
- The roaming squads outside will. Get too close without being allied and those squads engage.
- Once a fight starts, nearby guards join in.
In short: the red icon is the scary part, but it is the roaming squads that decide whether there is a fight.
Who is inside
| Building | Contents |
|---|---|
| Swamp Dome (Faction HQ) | 1x Boss Simion, 8x Outlaw Swordsman Captain, 4-6 Outlaw Heavies, 0-2 Outlaw Swordsmen |
| Swamp Dome (Barracks) | 5-6 Outlaw Heavies, 4-6 Outlaw Swordsmen |
| 3x Swamp Shack (Hideout) | 4-7 Outlaw Farmers |
Another 3 Outlaw Farmers stand on the gates.
The gear artifact budget is 10,000 Cats, guaranteeing one Specialist Spring Bat inside the Faction HQ.
Raiding it
This is a numbers fight, not a skill fight. The rebels' individual quality and equipment are poor; what they have is bodies. Therefore:
- Attack at night. Most of them are asleep in the barracks then and will not aggro outside the buildings — the three swamp huts being the exception.
- Bring people. They lack skill and gear, but not headcount.
- Bring double the first aid kits. One set for your men, one for the prisoners — Boss Simion is worth 20,000 Cats and each of his eight captains around 3,000 Cats, more than forty thousand in total. Provided they arrive alive.
Town overrides
Fort Simion is affected by two World States:
- Destroyed (Rebel Swordsmen) — the higher-quality Rebel Swordsmen replace the Rebel Farmers.
- Yabuta Outlaws — a different crew takes over.
A piece of deleted history
The Alpha version of the game had a town called Fort Simion that was on par with the other major towns, and it was controlled by the Holy Empire.
The fort standing in Sinkuun today has nothing to do with that one — same name, different world.
