When you alt-tab out of game , the video driver crashes (AMD) , nowadays it does recover automatically .. still it can't be a good thing.
Also the game lacks a bit bandits , especially small groups at the start.. i started playing and with a few bucks i got like 7 recruits max.. but all bandits are groups of 20+ , making it impossible to get some money to expand .
I am aware that the game should not be easy , but it's not right to have to travel up and down searching for weeks without a single battle.
The town quests only deal with attacking bandits , no other quests available,Not even a get me some cows quests.
When you approach a town that has bandits in it and you decide to free the town of bandits.. you have only a group of max about 6-7 troups with you.. all scattered through town . meaning you have to single handed wipe out 20-30 bandits with your main character , because the rest will die since they spawn all over town and often in middle of bandit group.
There is no way to gather your troups at one place since they will be all stuck in corners somewhere.
Where is the rest of my army ? , i had like 50 troups and i only attack with like 7 against 30 bandits.
Also from the Q&A taken:
Does the game have gunpowder items/units?
Sure. They're not available straight from start, but firearms, bullets and advanced outfits will appear when one nation reaches respectively Stage III or VI.
They are available at start , i often see the shopkeeper selling a gun , but no ammo(yet)
