Crops problem

[Gatherer]

I usually accept every 4th or 5th group, depending on its size, due to periodical population decline.

i accept them every time as many as they are.. i even have the townhall only nomads and boardinghouse nomads mods to come as early as possible and more often

I only accepted once about 30 few, and I got my first disease in game. Never did that again, but they still spread diseases on the down the mountains to the townhall.

Nomads always walk in from the edge.

They also go off in their snaky line and disappear more or less where they appeared. As to accepting them, I usually accept the first couple of groups that are 2 or 3 families, then deny, deny, deny. Since I fell guilty denying such poor people, every so often I will accept a group of 40 and then, BANG!, a major epidemic happens and diseases reappear every couple of years from then on. You'd think I'd learn. The number depends on the size of the settlement--absent a modded town hall that limits numbers. The other effect of nomads is lowering the proportion of educated workers since they all come in uneducated.

I can usually handle anything but a bubonic plague infestation, but I still would like to take some but not all regardless of quality.

I just look at my current situation - if I have plenty extra food and clothing... mainly my decision depends on my Homes vs. Families ratio - if I have more houses than families (e.g. due to a recent old-age thing), I take them in.

Diseases don't scare me, as I usually have numerous hospitals spread around. Education is another thing - there I'm also careful, so I don't take nomads when my edu is already below 90%, I wait first for that one to recover...

i even have the townhall only nomads

Yep, I like that mod - specially since it also offers smaller groups in later game...

I'm still not quite sure on the conditions though - I like to believe it only needs a hospital (like most other, similar mods)... or is the town hall also still required?


* My favorite was Slink's Nomad mod (just a hospital needed, plus the nifty nomad interface), but that is now rolled together with too many other things I have no use for (from the former Fountain mod)...  and Jamie's also has a nomad button inside the BH, so that's fine...

Didn't @slink include the modded inn in the houses only package? I don't use all of the houses, but some look nice when you need a fancy house for the mayor or the doctor. Though lately I've been going nuts with @RedKetchup's two and three-story houses. Those things are just irresistible.
