Mud TownReport

English:Mud Town · Locations

A swamp village north of Shark where Big Fang of the Twinblades lives and the Blackshifters run the bar. It rolls more unique recruits than any other swamp village — Shark included.

🗺 See this place on the map ↗

Mud Town is a Swampers village inside The Swamp, north of Shark.

There are two ways to find it: trudge through the swamp yourself, or get hold of a Map of the Swamps and read it.

Who is here

The village belongs to the Swampers on paper; in practice three factions each hold a piece of it.

The Anti-Slavers pacifier can also be found here, making Mud Town one of the few places to repair that relationship.

The best recruiting ground in the swamp

This is what Mud Town is actually for.

TipMud Town has the potential to spawn more unique recruits than any other swamp village — or even Shark.

Specifically:

CharacterCondition
Doctor ChungRecruitable here if not in Shark
GreenRecruitable here if not in Shark
Stubs MomusoRecruitable here if not in Shark
SilvershadeHas the highest chance to spawn here
HamutMight be found here as well

In other words, if a trip to Shark turned up nobody, do not give up — walk north to Mud Town and check again.

Buildings and shops

The building list runs:

For sale: two residential buildings at 4,000 Cats each, and a Swamp Dome at 32,000 Cats.

TipAt 4,000 Cats those residential buildings are among the cheapest real estate in the game. For a squad that has just fled into the swamp and cannot afford a house in any city, Mud Town is a realistic first home — the catch being that order here rests on an unwritten truce between five gangs.

Why the player cares

The Swamp is the most fertile ground on the map and it will only grow hemp. No nobles collecting tax, no priests preaching — so everyone who ran out of a kingdom walks into this fog. Mud Town is what that sentence looks like on the map: a village with no government, a drug dealer on the main path, and a bar run by a gang. It is also the easiest place in the wasteland to hire good people.

The two facts are not in tension. The kind of person who turns up in the Mud Town bar had nowhere else to go either.
