Peasant and Noble troop trees

[Federick421]

I am wondering if the troop lines of the factions can be divided between the social classes of commoner and Noble troops. Commoner troops start out as peasants(villages)/townsmen (town taverns) and comprised mostly of the medium infantry and archers of that faction. They can be recurited by anyone that is not hostile with that particular faction. Noble Troops are rarer and can be only recruited by a vassal of that faction and only from the great hall (both castle and town). They start out as squires (for swadia and the Rhodoks) or their equivelants of that particular faction (ie Boyar Son for Vagiers, Ghilman for the Sarradins). The Noble troops represent the heavy infantry and cavalry of the faction

Is anyone going to post their replies to this thread, if not then this thread is going to waste

It's a kinda cool system, yeah. Some mods already use it/things similar to it, if I'm not mistaken.

[Federick421]

It does sound like a really cools system and I guess thats why a lot of mods use that system. It would be great that M&B2 would have that feature in the baseline game

[AWdeV]

True.

im just disappointed that not more people are posting

But if even Lord defect while noble troops should be so loyal to be hired only of vassals of their faction? If you are just a random noble or a commoner with huge fame they should follow. For limiting them I would make them cost 2 party size: with the same charisma, leadership and fame you can recruit half of noble troops.

Can be very difficult to balance. But at least they should make more modder friendly the fact that you can recruit different troops from a faction instead a single one: this should be modded with editor, not with python.

There should be a pheasant troop tree. The elite flying warriors in that tree would present an insurmountable obstacle to all who opposed them.

Really brognar, there is a place for things like that, and it isn't here.
 Anyway, this idea could be expanded further, perhaps different regions have different troop trees (I.E the more open lands of Swadia will have heavier cavalry then the more forested areas, which specialize in ranged units.) It's been done in TLD for 1.011, so why not here?

Piffle. Small jokes are always acceptable unless it's a funeral. Is this a funeral? I think not. :U

[ThorofAsgard]

This is a funeral, it's just a New Orleans funeral, where people celebrate the dead persons life

Not sure about that. I always wanted some Duckburg wargame. Side with Scrooge or Rockerduck.

[FrisianDude]

That would actually be really badass.

Stop the irrelevant jokes now please
