Ah! Yes, I didn't take the perk that causes the medicine skill to affect enemies as well as your own men (when I chose the other perk, death-in-battle hadn't been added to the game yet). That could make a big difference.
they need to have realistic standards apply instead of arbitrary ones, for example these female lords who ride around without a helmet should die from headshots, but they also should always opt to "send troops" in any battle they're involved in. then they need some type of "capture" feature in battle based on tactics. like F9 or something orders your troops to capture and if the enemies morale is low enough they'll surrenderThey should only be able to die if they lose the battle.
I constantly had to check battle logs closely to make sure who died so I could take their armor off before they disappeared.
I disagree. It's a game so it needs to have more of a curve for the hero's Ladies shouldn't be leading parties. Sexiest as it may be there is ZERO reason for pregnant or of age women should be allowed to fight on a battlefield in mass. Rhagea makes sense but Ira is the heir to the throne and shouldn't be risked. The AI cannot calc. if they should hold up shields or protect their lord like in real life so they shouldn't die in battle unless there is no way to protect them as you want them to have a chance to die but also there be a way to protect Lords as a player and that would mean you have to win the battle.they need to have realistic standards apply instead of arbitrary ones, for example these female lords who ride around without a helmet should die from headshots, but they also should always opt to "send troops" in any battle they're involved in. then they need some type of "capture" feature in battle based on tactics. like F9 or something orders your troops to capture and if the enemies morale is low enough they'll surrender
The game goes from the battle stats screen, who shows who died, to the prisoners screen, to the loot screen. If you see on the stats screen that your companion died, when you get to the loot screen, switch to the companion that died and strip them clean. Once you get past the loot screen you can't get their stuff.How? You can't access the inventory during battle, and once the battle's over, the dead companion (and their equipment) are immediately removed from player access. So, AFAIK, it isn't possible in an un-modded game to recover a companion's equipment at any point after s/he is killed. I presume you're using a mod; yes?
It'd be nice to be able to recover their equipment. Some of my companions are more valuable than their gear, but other companions are less valuable than their armour. Depends on the companion and also the gear.
I guess things change quickly. Since last reporting, I've lost 3 companions and 2 wives. The first wife I had a long time, frm fairly early clan level 1 to early clan level 4. She didn't bear me any children & I thought it may be because I basically had no relations with her. So I played tablut with her at pretty much every town and raised it to 43 before she died. Still no children Second wife I think I was married to 7 in-game days. Possibly not that many. Had been in 2 battles. She entered the 2nd healthy & it was just an extortion by deserters battle with me having 130 high level troops & a few hundred others that happened to join it on my side. I was surprised I lost anyone, let alone my wife who had very good armor.As far as companions, it seems inconsistent to me. Last game I think I lost 8-10 at least. I constantly had to check battle logs closely to make sure who died so I could take their armor off before they disappeared. This game i haven't lost anyone yet. Although I haven't paid that much attention, I suspect I was battling more often last game and my companions were entering more battles already wounded. seems like if they start the battle healthy they are less likely to die, even if they are disabled in battle. (could be wrong, just a guess)
