bandits hideout is a bit imbalanced

[xtremzero]

when engaging bandit hideout, regardless of how many people are in your group, only 9 people will be able to participate on yourside, and you won;t be able to specify who comes with you. Once lost, your entire army gets crushed and you becomes a captive. seems a bit op to me?

I suspect you can influence (influence, not straight out dictate) who comes with you using the order list (top to bottom) in your party menu.
I keep my companions, and highest tier troops at the top of the list.

yes i confirm it's set by group order top to bottom so you can manipulate who comes with you it's usualy 10ish people

The game should inform about that. Esp. for new players who don't know this mechanic. It's not self-explanatory at all.

Indeed, but not like previous game were in any way self-explanatory on that matter also. =p

It kind of ceases to matter when you're trying to take out a mountain bandit stronghold that somehow has 80 guys in it with 10 dudes, no matter their level.

Yeah, bandit hideouts have always been a crapshoot, even in Warband. Shame they didn't do anything to make them more balanced.

Especially when it rarely makes sense that you would only take in 9 other troops. "My lord, they may run away down either of the only two directions the river goes, should we surround them?"

"Nah, everyone go to sleep and disarm, ill take 10 guys and if you see me get captured, everyone should just take all the stuff and run away. its the obvious tactical move!"
