Houses in Medieval Engineers serve in the role of factions or teams. This joins multiple players together in a way that allows them to share permissions and identifies them in various ways in the game such as in Chat, the Banner Workstation and when using the World Map And Fast Travel. There are also diplomacy options for multiple factions. They can relate to each other as ally, neutral, or enemy. Houses can be accessed in-game by pressing .

This How-To page was originally written by ~CptTwinkie with help from Equinox and Dan2D3D. It will be helpful to note that the page was written from the perspective of CptTwinkie. Equinox and Dan2D3D moved between houses for purposes of demonstration. Used in much of the How-To are two houses called "Our House!" and "Their House". Our House! represents your own house and, in the How-To, it is owned by CptTwinkie. Their house represents any house other then your own house for the purposes of diplomacy and administration.

Joining a House

Joining a house depends on the settings of the house. It's not too difficult but may require a couple of steps.

First, open Houses and choose a house to join. Click on the house and then the join button.

There are three things that might happen

The house doesn't accept new members

You won't be able to apply to join the house. You will have to convince the house master to enable member applications before you can join.

The house requires approval for new members

Members of the house will be notified that a new member wants to join the house. It is up to the members of the house with permission to approve member applications to approve or deny your request.

The house automatically accepts new members

You instantly become a member of the house.

If you send a member applications (default) you will see this notification:

If the house doesn't accept members or your request is denied you will get this notification:

If you are accepted or automatically accepted you will get this notification:

Note: In this case, the house I applied to was the Engineer's Guild House

Creating a House

Creating a house is not any more difficult than joining one.

First, select the green tab on the left of Houses. This tab links to your own house if you are in one. When you are not in a house, as in this example, it will show you that you are not in a house and it will give you the option to create one. Click the create button to create a new house.
