Of cause, but 20 HP AI lords in battle is not much better, if they risk dying when falling. Default it to 50% for participating in simulated battles however makes more sense. If they don't enter battle, they don't die, though being among the prisoners if loosing.
Nah, your OP-suggestion would give a lord who has fallen 20+ times and is 53 years old a death-risk of freaking high 40%. Current flat 10% is insane and what everyone votes against
Nobody wants a situation where all AI lords are statistically dead after 10 times fallnig in battle
It needs to go down quite alot. Very few lords would have any "protecten" from that suggestion, most would be far more fragile(All charachters starting at 43+ to be specific).
It gives you a good reason to take care of them and equip them well as it makes quite big differense. And the purpuse of armour is to save life after all.
It´s an issue that AI has the same armour at all time. I think they should at minimum have a risk to lose a random armourpart when loosing a battle, replacing it with a T3 noble armour-part and some mechanic for them to get them upgraded as well.
It could even be turn into a boost for charachters in a winning party. I mean, it could range from 20 to -20%. instead of from 20 to 0%.
