exp and loot is more valuable than gold

I can't find better armors than "Worn Chainmail" (110 armor), and occasionally "Basic Mail Shirt" (115). For Mail Hauberks (150) I have to shop, and for shopping I need gold. The same applies for better than average weapons.

ok whatever

You are not very far into the game if you don't know that yet.

man dont fuk with me


my point is that like the overall wealth you get from battles is more than if you afk deliver caravans

also exp matters too

 

[Darth Canoli]

At this point, i have to suggest a finger wrestling challenge to settle this argument ...

Spoiler

Still, escorting mission + getting attacked multiple times (or not) > wandering in the wild finding nothing.

Just saying ...

I see you don't have many fights against bandit leaders, bounty hunters, other mercs or regular army.

Does the game actually spawn enemies when you accept certain contracts? For example, you take a caravan mission and the game spawns in enemies in your path or is it all random, so just the enemies already on the map may or may not attack you?

I think it's random. Try saving at the beginning of a caravan run and load back at the end to see if things turn out the same. In my experience they can change.

I gave up and savescummed to avoid my first battle with 3 alps earlier, yesterday I fought my first alps, 4 of them, and won. Levels around 5-6, 12 people in the group. Two dogs, also helped a lot.

Yeah, this was super early, only 6 men, with no dogs. Made it out alive eventually. Now every man has a war dog for these kind of situations. The new hardy dogs are really effective against spiders too, they even kill the eggs

I'm sure they do - in some cases. There's a 'Brigand Hunters' group I only see right after I take a 'Patrol between three settlements in 7 days' contract. There are also the 'Big Game Hunt' contracts where you get paid per head of every (Direwolf / Spider / Nacho (?)) or every (Schrat / Unhold / Lindwurm) in a certain region. Those definetly spawn a couple of small groups of 'targets'.

Not sure about caravans, they might be random. But don't take caravan mission during 'Greenskin Invasion' or 'Undead Rising', the streets are full of enemies.

Where do you get these dogs? They look different and the only one I have seen was the one you get at the barbarian start?

Kennels sell them. They are slower but much tougher.

Have sex.

That's newbie talk again - no one says don't take other contracts. If I'm going to a certain settlement anyway, I would take a caravan mission that would take me there, if just to cover my costs while on the way. There are reasons to take caravan missions.

Not against groups with multiple high ranking brigands/raiders. I lack perspective here - is level 5-6 a good time to engage such enemies? I haven't began noble houses quests yet.

Not all kennels.
My current map has kennels on the southern portion of the map; haven't seen a single warhound on sale.

So when do you suggest is the right time to start looking for gear in shops and in named locations combats? When should I start trying to win over a noble family?

 

[Reinhardt]

I don't care about nobles. They usually send you across half of the map for measly 2-3k geld. I can get more just trading.

I only take patrol missions and only if it's close and i can visit good shops. And if i already scouted some easy lairs for head chopping.

I thought getting on good terms with the nobles and raising the opinion of fortresses can bring down the costs of the better gear that's sold there?

Or you rely entirely on trade for money?

Reinhardt I wanna see more pics of your trading, fuck the haters

Nice militia army.

My peasant gang ended with this battle:

Spoiler

3 militia groups including mine fighting the hordes of the undead. Battle was fun as hell. Not too often you get into these large brawls, but took too many casualties and the band had to be disbanded.
