i read this suggestion now a few times.
my only concern about the patrols is that there wont be any bandit party left to chase them and upgrad your own troops.
second there will be a very high increase of troops on the map and will make the performance consuming of the game much higher.
I though about it before bring this idea to forum:
1_ I think there is no problem with the performance of the game, for real I'm, using Intel 7500 + graphic card 5700XT and 16 GB DDram 4 > I'm using no limited mod for party and the fact is in 1.5.7 bandit party spawn a lot. You can check in current version. > My computer have no problem when running the game at very high setting.
2_ In warband, we do not have patrol troop but we have lord's troop. Lord who control a castle or city sometime bring their army and roaming the map for ... anything they want. So it mean there were a lot of party running with AI in the past and nothing bad happen with our warband. I believe that Dev team did in the past and now they definitely can.
3_ About the Amount of patrol troop party, I though about it and that's why I told there is only one party for each city/castle and they only running around their territory and hunting.
