As long as they allow some minor stamina reg while one the map, i wouldn't mind lowering the extreme outliners.
Pretty much half the game is still broken. The economy sucks, companions are just rnd, diplomacy and ai in general could use a brain upgrade.
Cause castles are a moneysink. Unless you get insanely luck (and probably wait ages for it to rise) you'll loose way more money than you get from a castle even with a small garnison.
It always bothered me that i as a king, well knowing who's a gangleader, can't do **** about them.
Only idea i got how it might did work is in that run i cheated a companion-govenor to 300 for testing and he somehow enabled it for me. I can recheck once i'm home, but i'm certain i'm still below 225 trade in said run and the trait shouldn't work as follower.
As of 1.5 you can found it in the kingdom tab.
Skirmisher could do damage, but it would drain a lot of ammo, depending on the amrmor and support the elephant got. A clean hit by some balista/scorpio or smiliar would do more. Both work, thats why i wrote "one of the best counters".
It depends on if they realize the steps needed and got the ability to implement them.
I'm not sure if you need the perk for that screen. Outsides of, yes.
I'd like a solution that still allows you to paint the map.
