problems....
Just ran a massive in field battle with my 81 man army against 7 Nord Lords and 713 soldiers using the entrenchment feature.
Yes i won. Only lost i think 5 men.
No i'm not Happy.
Here's why....
A) thanks to the previously mention reinforce issue with said feature i had to go through maybe 10 battle sequences with depreciating enemy numbers instead of the 2 or 3 battle sequences with enemy reinforcements show up as i so amazingly slaughtered them. Making this damn thing last for 2 hours!!!
B) Found a glitch with PBOD. With the gross outmanned scenario, i was permitted only 13 men to start. I opted to leave out my companions and bring in all A6 archers. Apparently i started with all my companions and 9 archers... totalling 19 men. Not complaining that just made it better for me, just pointing it out. I repeated this nifty glitch 3 more times till eventually i started spawning what i was told at PBOD prep screen.
C) 3 times i ran into the passive AI glitch. If i was the kind of player that loves to cheat and enjoys little glitches and lands success in my hands i'd be elated. But since i'm the type of guy that loves challenges and went willingly into a 9v1 battle scenario, watching 134 AI enemy taking taking arrows to the face, chest, knee (they'd have a future in skyrim if i was'nt slaughtering them) from my completely unprotected archers on a hill. and not even engage or run was appalling.
D) Thanks to the previously mentioned no tab/exit retreat option for normal in field entrenchment battle i was stuck watching this atrocity occur.
3.... damn... times.
E) After 2 hours, 10 ish battle sequences, 713 ... well 700 (a few lords and some lucky guys were knocked out) dead nords, and surving a 9v1 battle scenario that should have resulted in me starting over literally... i was rewarded with lordly scaled gauntlets and maybe 10 items worthmore than 100 but less that 200 denars.
The 5 men i lost in combat was worth more that the ****ing loot i got from that battle. I've gotten better loot killing 200 bandits. Basically what i'm saying here is the looting system .... is ****..... ok being a bit of a **** there... it seriously needs to be looked at. No way in hell i should be getting better loot from bandits than from official factionforce.... especially at triple the numbers.... WTF!!!!
I have pre and post save to this retarted battle. It left such a bad taste in my mouth i haven't played and probably won't for a while so my RGl thing is there too. If anybody want it all you gotta do is tell how to get it to you and you can look at it or play it yourself.
