So...how do you increase your party speed at the start of the game? My band of peasants is at speed 4.0 right now, we're incredibly slow. I bought a few horses (Battanian ponies), do I hand them out to my troops or how does it work?

Thanks, guys. If I understand correctly, I should buy horses with the highest Speed rating possible (so definitely not sumpter horses) for everyone in my army. I take it you stop getting extra bonuses to speed once you have more horses than troops?

Can anyone explain how clan roles work? I get that your companions will get better at the associated skills, but I can't get the roles to be assigned permanently. I leave the clan screen, come back, and the roles are all reset to None except maybe one or two. Is it related to a skill that I need to level up first? e: regarding money, seems you can easily make a ton of it just raiding, especially caravans. If workshops only make 200 a day I don't really see the point

One of my villages is getting raided constantly, it's a steady stream of parties converging on it. I assume it's a vicious circle of the AI being attracted by the lack of militia, which is also what prevents the militia from building up? On one hand, it's a great source of loot and renown without having to leave my castle's general area. On the other hand, it's kind of dumb. Are you supposed to be able to do something about this? If I went away for five seconds I'd have 10,000 enemies raiding that village until there are no villagers left.

Oh man, thanks. That worked. What a weird interface design choice.

HiroProtagonist posted:Get a couple companions in your party, go to the village and delegate them to parties. They'll stay in the general area, doing quests and killing poo poo. It's actually pretty hands off, they even do their own recruiting so long as you can maintain their bankroll, but that's all automatic assuming you have the funds. Thanks, I'm going to try this. If I give them some of my best troops and make sure their party is big enough, they should do fine, right? I'll just go get some more recruits to replace my losses. e: the rep boosts in particular are tempting, I hate doing the Family Feud and bandit holdout quests myself because I suck at them and I end up with worse rep than when I started

Now I can't leave the area because I've got three different parties coming in to raid at any given time, without exaggerating. The entire Western Empire has decided to raid this one village for some reason.

My dude with his own party is doing really well. I was afraid he would immediately fail, given the stories in this thread, but he hasn't lost a single troop so far and I constantly see him increasing his skill points. I think it was a good idea to give him 65 elite troops.

I haven't noticed this in my current game, which is also my first game. I'm getting to the point where I'm a force to be reckoned with, party size 150, and not much has changed except a city or castle changing hands here and there. Maybe you've just been unlucky.

I've also noticed larger armies running away from me. Yes, I will annihilate them because I have elite troops and they have 99% peasants + it's the standard difficulty setting, but they're not supposed to know that.

The core gameplay is at least as addictive as Warband's, but yeah, a lot of the rest is still very barebones. For example, the companions basically have no personality. When I picked up Lliari the Healer, I saw that she was Devious and thought "oh man a devious healer I wonder what's going to happen", and nothing of course. Maybe some quest resolutions change if you give her her own party and that's it. You can't really interact with them.

gently caress this 'defeat x groups' quest. Remind me to never do them again. I defeated 6/7 mountain bandit groups, couldn't find the last one for the life of me, so I get a relation decrease. How are you supposed to track them? I even tried stopping at villages.

My guy has 122 Scouting. Maybe it was there somewhere, but I just could not find the last group. I would be less irritated if I didn't get a relation decrease. gently caress you, I killed nearly all of them. Bandits really are the bane of my existence, it took me three tries to take out a forest bandit lair because it was 45 forest bandits versus me and 10 random troops.

Not worth it, if they're going to do it per stack it should be more xp. e: do elite troops eat more than regular troops? I'm thinking I want my garrisons to consist of just a few dozen elite troops.

How does it work, where are they even hanging out? GENUINE CAT HERDER posted:I check the clan screen and sure enough, apparently both castles went to me somehow. No notifications or votes or anything, just "BAM, here's two lovely castles you don't want". Anyways, my game bugged out shortly after, so whatever.

I love pretty borders above all, allow me to refuse something on the other side of the map that is immediately going to get retaken anyway.

I actually have no problem with the idea of the AI being competent enough to occasionally accomplish things on their own, without the player's input, it's just the execution that's lacking in this case. My main criticism would be how very similar it is to Warband and how it has many of the same issues. At this point in the game I'm just endlessly hunting down and massacring enemy armies made up of 90% recruits. Three days later the same guy will just be back with another garbage army. I wish they would tweak battles so they would be a little more challenging for the player, but also have more meaningful long-term consequences.

Of course right after I say the battles are easy, my entire party gets slaughtered. Is it weird that I don't mind? I kind of like reconstructing my army. Just to be clear, max party size is linked to the Leadership skill (other than your clan renown), right?

Thanks for the breakdown. I didn't see Leadership in the tooltip but thought that maybe it was a hidden bonus. Garrison size is not that useful since you'll quickly run out of food if you put too much guys in your castle.

What's the indispensable siege weapon? I don't want to spend two years building them all. On the other hand, I attacked a well-garrisoned city (200 militia + 200 garrison) without building anything, and my guys just got slaughtered as soon as they reached the top of the ladder. I ain't even mad, that's what would happen in real life.
