Can someone explain how monster lairs work? There is a forest drake lair I can apparently build a camp at but the button is greyed out and says my faction can not build this type of improvement. I saw drakes in a gameplay example..are they the only recruitable beasts? Do you have to be that slithering faction to recruit them?
I believe they are supposed to be limited either to a faction or to either Empire or Kingdom types, but it's not yet working correctly. Try clicking on the greyed out button anyway, often that will let you build it and recruit drakes.
You're also supposed to be able to recruit wildlings (there's a tech requirement for that), ogres, mercenaries, and dragons. The dragon is only available (as far as I know) from the Curgen's Hold quest and then you have to research a very expensive tech. Mercenaries appear to be broken, you can build the camps but they don't seem to appear to be recruitable in the nearest town. I haven't tried ogres yet.
Playing as a Kingdom, I've now tried to build on an Ogre pit, and I can't do it. Perhaps as an Empire ...
