After the last glorious battle in which I totally participated and did not let the city guards do my work, I hired two blokes because I was tired of running.
Thus emboldened I go to the nearest group of already beaten cannibals in the hope that I can get training when they wake by administering massive beatdown.
Hmmm, that almost went well. 2 out of 3 down but at least the remaining guy gets to train first aid.
Ooh, this guy's leg is gone forever, I should totally help him recover so I can kill him.
While I wait for that to happen, I might as well train strength by heavy lifting. But I don't have stuff to carry, so I'll just lug a squadmate around. To think I hired these losers because I wanted pack mules.
Oh being chased is fun, innit bitch/dude/
Cities aren't really huge in this game, though.
Of course, what's that I do immediately once recovered? Chase an armed bandit half way to the next town, while leaving the squad behind, and promptly get knocked out. I'm just lucky it wasn't a cannibal. Cue squadmates running across to carry the body back to town after administering first aid.
On the plus side, get betting beat up improves your toughness.
Back on track, ready to get beat up again.
And I manage to
steal enough loot off corpses and the unconscious salvage enough to purchase a heavy weapon(Plank) which is a good weapon for the Strong types.
And then I send the henchmen to train a bit, though the dummies are useless once your attack skill is above 5.
Next stop, to train Defense. How?
By getting beaten up. Again.
