Creating Workers
In order to build a thriving economy you need a willing workforce and in STRONGHOLD: WARLORDS that workforce consists of peasants.
The number of peasants standing around your keep represents the number of free peasants available to be turned into workers or troops. Your keep provides you with some starter housing for your peasants, but to increase your maximum capacity you will need to place houses.
There are 6 sizes of house. All houses house 8 peasants. However each house varies in quality with the Hovel being the lowest quality and Superior House being the highest quality. See Housing Quality for more information.
You must also ensure you are popular otherwise peasants will not come to your castle. You will see the speed at which peasants arrive on the popularity panel.
If no one is working in a building it probably means there are not enough peasants available to work there. This will be shown by a no workers symbol floating overhead. It may also mean that the building
has been turned off (by left clicking on it and clicking on the ‘turn industry off icon’); in this case a sleep symbol will appear above the building.
