I have been testing Roguery in 1.6.0 and how fast it levels etc. and here are some of my concerns. I know you are working on the prisoner doing kamikaze runs.
I have been doing Prison Breaks from start, without first leveling weapon skill and athletics and throwing skill to acceptable minimums. So at first I blamed my athletics because who ever I try to rescue runs faster than me. Its been a lot of retries, out of perhaps 10+ Prison Breaks I might have really done 40 or 50 with reloading. This is only counting neutral Towns and not counting the hostile Towns and the many "Surrenders".
But then I started noticing during the reload that the guards change, sometimes they are lower tiers and other times higher tiers and sometimes there is a legionary. I am guessing that the guards are from a pool of the garrison, which is okay but just like I have left my heavy armor outside, would a heavy infantry guy not wear something more comfortable inside a prison? Why do I have to fight the top tier troops in their best gear with my upgraded Looter outfit
The Aserai Town Husn Fulq had 5 Aserai Palace Guards! The prisoner survived less than 10 sec, he ran into the first Guard and died in one hit, I survived because I got lucky and killed the first Guard and used his axe to get out. The Guards could not hit me when I was hiding in the corner of the doorway, so I took minimal damage and survived with 5% or so health. They mostly hit the door frame and each other.
The amount of Armor and Damage and Skill these top tier Guards bring is an unfair advantage. My Civilian weapons are never going to be a match for that kind of armor and there is no armor in Calradia that can protect me from the Heavy Executioners Axe or the blunt damage of the Calradian Mace.
I did not reload that particular prison break ?
