Cropper Villages in Rise (Guide) [by Rastus]

All Rise members who get cropper villages should set them as their capital to ensure they do not fall into enemy hands. If you have multiple croppers ensure your 15 cropper is set as capital over your 9 cropper.

Avoid having multiple 15 croppers as non capital 15 croppers are a huge liability as everyone will want to steal it off you. This brings conflict not just on yourself but on Rise as a whole.

Occupying any cropper in the Rise Heartland carries a hefty responsibity as well, not only do you have to defend it against all comers, but, when war raises it's ugly head it is going to be the cropper owners with the huge attack/artillery forces who bear the brunt of the losses.

Also remember that although anyone is free to walk away from Rise at any time, cropper tiles in the Rise heartland will not go with you. Think about this last statement very hard before looking to set up on a cropper square in the heartland.

Not all Rise members will or can have croppers given our concentration, but those who do keep them have to be aware of the extra workload and responsibility associated with them.
