In general, when I've done city, manor, castle, etc. building, I've used a mix of just "thinking it up", published sources, Harn Manor, and DMG stuff, especially AD&D 1e DMG.Why am I answering then?I played Pathfinder Kingmaker on Xbox and enjoyed it.So much so that I converted 6 of the Pathfinder companions into NPC's in one of my two 3.5e Greyhawk email games.The players have recently met Valerie and Harrim (and both groups are currently trapped in the dungeon from "A Wizard's Fate" in Dungeon magazine) and they just met the last two members of "Tartuccio's Crew" - Tartuccio and Jaethal - who are on the outside of the stone block, due to complicated things happening "off camera" with me and one player figuring it out.Tartuccio is planning to "help" the PC party and help himself to half of the presumably enormous fortune in the wizard's tower, or kill them and take it all.  We'll see how things work out!  He met an NPC friend of the PC's at a pub, who was worried about the PC's being at risk, and of course Tartuccio's wheels turned and he came up with a semi-evil plot to "help" the PC's.Two other groups out there:Octavia and Regongar:  They overheard Tartuccio plotting with Jaethal to rob/help the PC's for half the treasure, and thought maybe they can get in on the action by ambushing the ambushers (if the fight seems opportune).  While Tartuccio's Crew is below, they've already robbed his camp.  Their backstory is they are escaped and wanted-by-bounty-hunter slaves, not from the Technic League in Golarion, but from the North Kingdom in Greyhawk, where Octavia is the last of a murdered noble house and Regongar was a gladiator, who fell in love and escaped together.  Octavia was working as a mage's assistant and stole valuable scrolls and information about her family (the Attirr's, who were explorers in the Solnor Ocean and the previous family ruling the North Province), so Herzog/King Grenell has a high interest in getting her back.  (Trust me, this is cool in Greyhawk lore!)Linzi and Amiri are out there somewhere too, but nowhere near the PC's at the moment.  Their story is similar to their Pathfinder origins, with Amiri from the Holds of Stonefist and Linzi from Alhaster, Red Hand, in the Bandit Kingdoms.</blockquote>
