Being a Bad Guy?

[Mohammed]

Many apologies if this has been posted before, my attempts to search for related topics of the past has come up dry; maybe I missed one, however. Anyway, I find that in the game you can't attack everyone - only certain types of enemy parties. For example, am I missing something, or is there no way to attack refugees/peasants/farmers you see roaming around? The 'bandit' idea has always appealed to me, and being Sir Rightgeous isn't always that fun.

Yeah I wouldn't mind the idea of roleplaying something a little more evil but I don't see that in the games intentions.

One thing that annoys me is that if two enemies are fighting each other and you try and get involved in the battle you can only leave it be rather than having a massive three-way rumble.

Head on over to Mod Discussion, I think someone made it possible for you to beat down some peasant n' farmer foo's. =D

Happy hunting.

well, you can allways start robbing the caravans

but there is also a mod that allows you to attack peasants. and Ancientanker and n00854180t are working on a mod that allows you to join the bandits (uf I'm not mistaking)

check out the last 3 or 5 pages of this topic

Yeah, it would be nice if it allows you to pick which side you join. Although I'm skeptical if a three-way can or will be implementable.

There are already three ways in the game. You can join a prexisting fight if you are enemies with one participant and friends with the other. Your side will then be made up of a mix of his forces and yours.

In the mag-7 bandits mod you can side with steppe raiders and other bandits in knocking over caravans. Itll be out today or tomorrow.

Still, its not a 3 way in the sense of triple the troops on screen. It just weighs the tactical advantage indicator in your favor and mixes the troops between yourself and your ally.

I think Lupos and Quietus mean a three-way as in You vs Enemy vs Enemy, not You + Friend vs Enemy.

That would be interesting to be part of! You could just sit back and watch your enemies beat the snot out of each other, then once one side is victorious, go in, finish off the leftovers, and take all the loot for yourself!

well
when you see a caravan fight some bandits, just stand there, press space and wait till one of them wins, then attack!

A standard bad man tactic, and worth doing if you're playing that sort of game.

What I think some posters mean is to join an AI vs AI battle in such a way that the AI still controls two of the sides and you control your own party, either as an all against all fight or 2 vs 1. The current mixing of troops is fine by me but it would be amusing to see the other possibilities.

I think unbalanced fights or 3-way battle royales would be very interesting.
