== Visitor Needs == | |||
Visitors to the town share many of the same Needs as your own villagers. However some types of visitors have other Needs according to their type and rank. For example, visitors during a [[Events|Fair]] might have an Inn Lodging Need, which is satisfied when the visitor is able to find a space in a functioning Inn. High-ranking visitors late in the game, such as the Abbess, might have a Great Hall Need, which is satisfied when she is able to visit the Great Hall. All unique visitor Needs are to do with lodgings (in the Inn, Hospitium, Barracks or Private Quarters according to type) and visiting certain buildings, and are satisfied when the villager is able to find a space in the relevant lodging type or visit the relevant building. | |||
