Load

Weight is a concept that limits the ability to transport objects. It applies to:

• Your character's inventory: maximum 200 weight points
• Ships: depends on the ship
• An army
• Groups
  

When your character's inventory exceeds the permitted weight limit, it is not able to:

• Work in the city militia
• Revolt
• Follow the leader of a group or the leader of an army
• Join an army
  

Character can always embark on a ship (or disembark) if the weight limit set by the ship captain is larger than characters total weight.

Remark:

• Property's inventory, flats and mansion, etc... have no weight limit.
• If the weight of a group or an army leader exceeds permitted weight limit, the whole group or the whole army will remain immobilized.
  
  

Weight items

Each product has its own weight.

Weight of the grant is added to that of the inventory. If the grant's weight is 100 and the inventory weight is 60, then character's inventory will be 160 weight in total.

Clothes and equipment doesn't count as weight. Likewise, everything that character has equipped is not taken into account in the inventory size (e.g. small ladder, large ladder, shield, sword, axe, staff, ship, stick, etc...).

Increasing weight limit

To increase weight limit, your character must:

• Increase strength: +20 points per 50 strength points (i.e. +100 with 250 strength)
• Possess certain tools in your inventory (or in the Grant) - non-cumulative effect whether it is the same item or different items:
  • Cart: +200 points
  • Christmas sleigh: +240 points only in winter
  • Benefactor bundle: +30 points
• Being a wanderer: +50 points
• Joining a group: when your character is part of a group, his companions can carry the products that overweight him and make him exceed his maximum weight
• Buy the traveling merchant pack in premium access: + 400 points
• Have the treatise on non-Euclidean geometry in your inventory: +100 points
  
  

Example of group weight:

• If your character's companion still has free space (his weight isn't at max), your character can carry more weight than it's personal limit is, as long as sum of weights of all characters in the group doesn't go over the limit of the group weight. In that case, your companion will carry the weight difference for you. This help is transparent and you do not need to actually exchange products. This is very useful for transporting very big products such as the mast of a ship. However, if a companion suddenly wants to buy a very beautiful tapestry and he no longer has space to carry your character's products, the latter will again find himself wearing them alone. He will therefore not be able to overload someone else.
  
  

Calculate the weight

In the inventory of your character and in the inventory of the property, the total sum of the weight is automatically calculated and indicated next to your maximum authorized weight but also next to the maximum authorized weight of your group if you have one. Similarly, for each object, the sum total of their weight is shown in a column "Weight".

There is also a page to calculate weight (useful when planning a big purchase before traveling):

• Office des Boutonneux(in French)
  
  

Weight of an army

Free weight of the army corresponds to the sum of the remaining weight of each soldier. For example, if the army has 2 soldiers who have weight of 200/500 and 150/300 respectively, the army will have a free weight of 450 and total weight of 800.

If the army leader has exceeded his weight limit, then the army cannot move.

A soldier who has exceeded his weight limit will be ejected from the army and will not be able to follow the army leader. If he has already decided to follow the leader, he will be ejected during the passage of the day.

Remark:

• Soldier inventory and grants will take priority over army inventory! So if an army cannot transport all the items it has, it will stay put.
