I got a Steepes Hideout with about 50 in it. The first area you try to take out just one, and run back to a bottle neck and you still have 20 swarming a group of 9 no matter how trained and armored your guys are. nope not happening, just stupid to be limited to 9 dudes taking on 50 steepes bandits including their top their raiders.
And I been wiping out Steepes hideouts to farm horses for days before I ran into this one. Usually its like 30 enemies total. okay that's fine, that's like 15 on 9 in the entrance, then 10 on 9 in the cave and 5 at the end, then a boss and 2 escorts to finish. fair tough challenge even using tactics developed after raiding my 20th steepes hideout. but even 25 tier 1 and 2 steepe bandits on 9 troops all at once is stupid.
