Peasants

The Peasants are the inhabitants of your kingdom. You start out with 5 peasants and gain more at the end of every year. Peasants will only join your kingdom if you have at least a minimum percentage of happiness (roughly 60% or higher) and also unused beds available. You can get more beds by building more houses. The amount of peasants you gain depends on the overall happiness.

Work
The peasants do everything in your kingdom. They move resources around, build new structures and work in your buildings. Most buildings have a set required number of workers. Every peasant can fill one spot. When a peasant is idle it will do other tasks like chopping wood or building. Peasants can also be trained into soldiers.

Death
Peasants need food to survive. If you don't have enough food they will start to die of starvation after a while. Peasants can also get struck with plague, to cure them you will need a clinic or hospital.

Invasions
Peasants can also be taken away during invasions by Vikings. They are taken by kidnappers within an army, each kidnapper being able to take 1 peasant. If the army is killed before it leaves then the peasant is returned.
