Sergeant at Arms
I've been getting frustrated with loot. I take 300 troops against 900 Heretics and only wind up with a bunch of shields and ratty swords and spiked maces and rusty hammers.
I've tried to use Morgh's to improve things but the only way I can really change it is to use the "always loot" flag. That's not something I like to do since I want there to be a chance of not getting it but also I want that chance of success to be higher than all the crap they put in there.
I can't figure out how to increase the chance of getting more better loot.
I've got a loot skill of 10.
I increased the Abundance value to 100 but I think this only affects merchant availability.
The only other thing I can think of is to remove some of the items in the inventory and flood the inventory with the items that are most valuable. I'm not sure this will work since I don't know whether loot is based on potential items in inventories or the items that actually spawn and are equipped during a battle. How could I even test that?
I do see there are Heretic Writings in some inventories and they can't be equipped so this gives me some idea that altering the inventory list might be the way to go. This can get tedious though.
Also, I even tried disbanding my entire army after a battle to see how that affected loot and it didn't seem to help for the Heretics but it has helped in past games with Noldor.
I don't want to break the game but the only way I can equip my companions and self the way I want is to simply make things available in merchants.
