ok, my toon is dying in singleplayer, i got kids ... so how do I pick the next inline? Do I just keep playing until toon dyes then get an option? or do I pick one now like the message said?
f6, 0-f1-f7Companions are like Kamikazes during a siege. You have no control over them and they charge the walls with reckless abandon. Most of the time mine are all unconscious after a siege. If you siege a lot with death turned on you will not have any companions in your party.
Unlucky, mate. I play for about 4 years now, many lords died in battles, but among my companions only 1 surgeon girl has been killed in those 4 years. Others are feeling wealthy and healthy (but I've left my wife in the city just to be sure my children will actually see the light ).Dying possibility is too high. I fought two battles which were too easy that i gave little casualities. But my wife, scout and surgeon were among them! With this rate i will have no one with me.
So i mean, i will die probably very soon. Then, we come to OP's question.
I usually keep my companions in a separate group to prevent any needless deaths
I dunno. In all the time I have been playing (up to 1.5.0 now) I have never had anyone die. I do not believe that the check for 'heroes can die' at the beginning of the game works (yet), as I have tried it on and off for many games with no real differences noted.
This goes for sieges also. companion health has taken hits (red) but nobody died.
I guess I will stick with 1.5. Hell even in 1.5 I have had lords die of natural causes. Poor Pharon died like 30 days into the game.Death is enabled in 1.5.1, both old age and in battle.
It works. I had my medic die on almost first occasion (The fool was killed by looters). But that was the only dead companion or family member in that game. A few knockouts, but no deaths. But it's a strange game in all aspects: After 250+ days, no realm has fallen, not even the usual Sturgians or Western and Northern Empire. Didn't notice if any Lord died, but village and town notables getting fewer.I dunno. In all the time I have been playing (up to 1.5.0 now) I have never had anyone die.

Yeah luckily you can turn off the battle deaths if you want in the campaign options. Will help with castle sieges and such. I had 42 year old Olek die of natural causes on my 7th day lol, no avoiding that oneI guess I will stick with 1.5. Hell even in 1.5 I have had lords die of natural causes.

I don't know why they have enabled any sort of deaths, especially when the option is disabled. I preffer to play with immortal heroes, so the option to do so should be available. Never had any lords die for any reason in previous games.Yeah luckily you can turn off the battle deaths if you want in the campaign options. Will help with castle sieges and such.

Happend to me with my Brother and my surgeon. I can't even choose a new surgeon.....Dying possibility is too high. I fought two battles which were too easy that i gave little casualities. But my wife, scout and surgeon were among them! With this rate i will have no one with me.
