The intro is ok, but I miss a method to skip it if you start a second or thrid campaign - or did I miss how to skip it?

Cow Herding is something for the peasants. Send a companion.
BTW: I rarely do that quest. Specially when the village pays with meat. It's not funny to get suddenly overburden because 200+ units of meat drop from nowhere into the inventory while running from some enemy...

It would be cool if we could recruit/hire Radagos the character who help us to find our sister and brother! I hope this will be implemented because its not that hard to make it!

I oppose: That person murdered the PCs parents. Maybe the PC forgives him, but his brothers and sister? Radagos sold the kids into slavery (imagine what could have happened to the kids in that time)! It's ok not to execute him, but recruiting him would be a slap into the face of the kids.

Maybe with a choice: You can have either Radagos or your younger silbings in your clan, if you recruit him, they join other clans.
Or timed: He can be recruited until the first of the children becomes 18. Then he disappaers because he knows she hates him and he doesnt't want to wake up one morning discovering she has sliced his throat in the night...

I married with her daughter and gets nothing besides her armor.

You meade something wrong...I married Ira too, and got 5 children. And she's pregnant again. A wife who knows her duties.. But despite a relation of 46 with her mother, I got no fief until I gathered an army and seized a castle (and still needed to spend a gut sum of influence to get majority) And Rhagaea doesn't try to reunite the empire, she ends every war with western and northern traitors after a few days, just to start another war with the fleabreeding horserapers from Khuzait and Asarai. Ira is against it, but as a my wife she has to obey - I am thinking about breaking my oath to her mother.

Marrying Rhagaea? Why? She's too old to breed, and makes stupid politics.
(This posting includes 99% roleplay)

Out of roleplay reasons, I prefere not to mix armies in Bannerlord. I've tried with most fractions (except Khuzait):
Battanians are difficult, as you usually don't find enough ranged, but interesting
Sturgians: I can't say much. It was hard to get a good force. Everytime I visited a village, it was either raided or some noble took the recruits.
Asarai needed careful management - their armour seems inferior
Empire is easy. Masses of archers, legionaires and of course every cataphract you find.
Vlandrians: even more easy. Protect your core of heavy x-bows until it's time for the knights charge...

too encumbered to get to a city to unload my cargo so I was stuck moving at a snails pace.

I quoted your mistake: Don't overload your party in enemy areas. Never. It's cheaper to drop loot and prisoners than getting caught.

No!

Getting back into safe areas to rebuilt a party after being captured is one of the few very challenging things in the game. As the character is usually faster than any hostile party (except very small bands of desert raiders or steppe raiders, those are really nasty), it is, in most cases, just running and avoiding until you arrive at first friedly or neutral settlement.

Yeah if they have nothing left the only way to get rid of them I think at the moment is to either wait for them to die, or to execute their remaining lords.

Good idea, but: In my case (link quoted above) the fraction leader sat in another fractions town, with an army of 1+277w that never healed, therefore he never left the town and couldn't be captured for execution. And as he was the son of the beginning NE leader, he wouldn't die that fast, besides the fact he had an army of children...

The 1+277w army seems to be caused by a different bug, in my 1.5.4 game yesterday I encountered a hostile marked minor clan army of 1 - the leader. I attacked it, easy win. Afterwards I had 40+ liberated soldiers and 200+ prisoners. It seems that under some circumstances NPC armies don't heal

If our longtime plan is to support western empire, do that quest. If not, just ignore it - you gain relationship, but as soon you get at war with Western Empire, it is worth nothing.

There have been multiple changes made on this quest. Are you still having the same problem on our current build?

Click to expand...

Not noticed. I will try to force it by buying workshops and doing those quests personally (usually I send companions...) in the hope some herd shall be delivered to one of the former workshop owners.

Have you had the same problem on e1.5.4 live or e1.5.5 beta branches? On a campaign created on e1.5.4 or e1.5.5?

Click to expand...

Just checked - I stopped to play that campaign on 11. Nov because of the bug and kept a save file in case someone needs it. Versions are still 1.5.3..

1.5.4. seems to run smooth, I managed to destroy the empire once, but in that campaign no realm was wept out such early than in previous versions - i think the bug was caused by realms being destroyed before player even started the quest.

Happened last month...
