RE: Warband Update Thread 2
As I imagined, the mercenaries are stretching my payroll, even at half-pay. I have dyework investments in six or seven cities, and I try to look after my village fief as well as the villages near my castle. This nets me a profit each week, but getting rid of the mercs would give me more breathing room.
Despite this concern, I am finally in a position to improve my companions' equipment. They all have decent armor and nice weapons. Their horses are the best their stats will allow. I don't think anyone is using anything worse than a hunter or courser. Deshavi and I are using steppe chargers, and I have two more in reserve for when the other companions have a Riding skill of 4.
I'm pleased with the companions' skill distribution. Everybody has points in Trainer and Tactics. Most people have Surgery, Wound Treatment, and First Aid, although Jeremus and Katrin are superior here. I rarely have a permanent unit loss, and everybody heals up fast.
Fifty Swadian knights charging enemies is a sight to behold. It restores meaning to the word "awesome."
