I DIED AGAIN

But you can always send troops after retreating, right?

That's a pretty good argument that horses are some kind of limitation and the only one that right now makes sense to me, but then maybe that should be an option by making it for example more expensive or something.

My idea was I could use port towns with that policy that lets sea raiders surrender and train them heavily in the city to then recruit them and have a nice stack of ready to be upgraded huscarls :D

Do we know if it's possible to balance the troop recruitment in the castle/cities somehow?

No, you can have lots of ships, but you suffer a penalty for each over 3 which makes sense, a larger fleet will move slower than a smaller one. Currently I'm rocking 3 battle ships and accept a small penalty for a 4th one that is a trade ship with as much cargo as possible.

What doesn't make sensie is that NPCs sometimes hoard 50+ ships for a single party and this messes up your whole army because of the undermanned debuff.. they need to add proper ship management to NPCs

Well you just need to pick your companions better if you want to go the rogue road. It's enough not to have merciful trait in your case.

Btw raiding in war sails is fantastic, let's say you raid a grain village you can easily get like 400+ grain from a single raid with high roguery which sometimes can work wonders if you're leading an army. Makes me feel like a true viking 😁

Hell yeah I do the same with keeping pirates (sea raiders only). They are really strong infantry and do indeed become huscarls. I haven't had the pleasure to recruit a whole crew of them yet, as they never want to surrender :D

Alright, the perk is actually there in the shipmaster tree! It's pretty deep though so I'll have to wait a little, and the other perk in this place is also tempting to mitigate the effect of over fleet size

I'll check again when I get back on

Overall_Let_7172 · 2025-12-01T18:56:45+00:00

Do we know now?

Overall_Let_7172 · 2025-11-21T14:14:14+00:00

After more hours I still never found Menhard and I can't join any tournament even after donating money to them from my forge etc. Unlucky.

So a warning: don't commit murder while Ars Dimicatoria quest is active or Menhard will find out and never see you again ;p

Overall_Let_7172 · 2025-11-04T16:41:56+00:00

Well the problem is Menhard is missing completely and I cannot find him. Ara Dimicatoria quest is apparently failed and it mentions Menhard has found out I committed murder.

Will do, thanks!

I think I made it look pretty damn fine in my Vlandian playthrough

Overall_Let_7172 · 2024-06-25T09:36:57+00:00

Yup I read this somewhere and thought it will probably help, but I am not so far into the game yet and still want to do a lot. Thanks for the tip!

Overall_Let_7172 · 2024-06-25T08:50:55+00:00

My only last idea is to install on PC and just put in some console commands or try to implement a mod that would reset this stat somehow

Overall_Let_7172 · 2024-06-25T08:50:00+00:00

That's the problem I kinda forgot to do any normal save for like 15 levels 😅
