What if the lesser factions would not actually conquer anything but just loot the towns and castles off their riches and free the prisoners and leave the castle in weak state? Damaging buildings etc. I don't see some forest bandits taking up a castle because they know that the counter attack and sanctions will be harsh. I would just loot the hell of the place, burn the buildings, capture the women and run away back to the forest hideout. And all the more organised minor criminal factions are people working underground and they seem already be pretty well established in the cities and castles that way. Can't seem them to have any needs to control castles directly when they can effect the lords and their decision indirectly.

Just my thoughts

I like this idea and frankly, this is an option that I always kind of wished I had in native. I have enough troops to take a weak castle but really don't want the responsibility of having to defend one (this is assuming I do not have allegiance to a faction). So instead we charge in, free prisoners, loot the place (big payoff here) and then leave it in shambles. Basically just sack the place and then leave.

As near as I can tell:

Fierdsvain: Their Huscarls are evil. Theoretically all of their infantry is but the Huscarls really take the cake.

Ravenstern: Really good ground archers.

The Empire: Not sure, but I think its just their ground forces period. The They have some nice crossbowmen and a good variety of high tier infantry (both pikemen and javelin chucking swordsmen).

Sarleon: Far as I can tell: Swadia all over again.

D'shar: More painful versions of the Khergit: horses everywhere.

I am best described as lost on this right now.

Yeah piercing does help. I can usually poke one to death if they don't take me out with a Throwing Axe of Doom (TM). Or if his friends don't show up.

You certainly succeeded in making them difficult. I killed 3 by couching each of them twice (the only way I could ever seem to hurt them) before unhorsing another who managed to unhorse me right after. It was over after that because where he was doing 25 or so damage with each whack while at a stand still (and with damage for me at 1/2) my Balanced Noldor Longsword was bouncing off of him for 0 damage....suddenly swords don't seem like such a great idea anymore...

Demonplate requires 73 STR, but since it is ... unlikely... that you'll ever get a character that strong, it is rather expensive.

Sounds kinda like a "We wanted these guys to have armor that makes your best weapons bounces off while they pummel from a stand still...but since we really don't want you to use it ...here have some money for your troubles."

(Cynical sounding I know, but am I wrong?  )

Warning: When you ransom off a bady in exchange for a gem, make sure you have an open slot in your inventory.

Looks like someone stole or knocked over his drink...

"I'm here to kick ass and drink mead. And you just spilled my mead!"

It should be noted that I started with pretty low charisma and leadership and have been trying to build that up some. So yes there are drawbacks. (and no the 9 looting was not intentional, just happened that way).

We spotted that and left it in on purpose, as I recall. Feature, not bug. Just be cautious with it.

Fair enough.

No. Unless you tweak the files and give them the weakest arrows which will roughly doubly the time they will shoot. Just hit that darn F5 key and use the minimap to decide when to unleash a hailstorm of arrows.

I love the F5 key...

As I said before, I like the idea of interaction between companions. I brought up the Baldur's Gate series earlier. Part of what made those games (the second especially) was the wide variety of interactions between player and companions and between companions themselves. M&B simply does it so 1 dimensional (this is not a critique of the PoP team at all). That one grievance is enough in the system to make a companion leave even when everything else is to their liking just feels a bit shallow.

One thing I would encourage down the road in PoP when and if it gets another big update and if there is time is to overhaul this system from the ground up (within the allowances in the engine). Rather than the "I like one person, hate two people, and everyone else is a grilled cheese sandwich" approach of the default M&B system, do a bit more to spruce it up. Add some extra flavor dialogues on occasion and the like. And you know its alright if there are some companions who just CAN'T be in a party together (there are truly major grievances). However, not all of them need to be this extreme and mixing it up a bit make the characters feel more real.

(And I do enjoy what some of the PoP companions say already and don't want to give the impression that I'm criticizing the dev team.)

And for the record, if you ever want some help with fleshing out characters even more in the future, let me know. I enjoy that sort of thing. 

I ended up with 9 looting to start because of my choices 

Note to self: Fallen Warriors shrug off anything that isn't a mace delivered at full speed. Also I want their armor.

Don't know if this was noted yet, but I just got done buying two maiden adventurers off a ransom broker. However, I only had one slot open but it still gave me both (so my troop total was 41/40).

I wouldn't call this a major issue but worth noting none the less.
