Darn Kergit Raiders

[Lynnander]

Black Kergit Raiders. What did i do to annoy them? They follow me everywhere i go since i got 7th level. Any tips on getting them to leave me alone?

 

[Kolya]

With the blade and the horse.

If you just run away they tend to lose interest, you could always try to get them to run into a patrol group of someone and make an escape. That or just stab them all to death, works for me.

 

[Lynnander]

Everytime I engage these guys they wipe the forrest floor with me and kill or capture all my sellswords. I can't run, because they are way faster than me. They make me wanna cry. Boo Hoo. I guess i will have to put up with them for a while until i can kill them.

Enter a town and rest. Eventially they'll get bored and go away .
Btw, they are either unique or bugged - they are hostile to you, but no one else is interested in them... No one runs from them, and no one tries to attack them. Are they some kind of assasins sent after player?

heres a few tips to how to own em.

1) get a horse, a fast horse, like a hunter or sumn.
2) get a bow, a good bow, like a war bow.
3) make sure you can use ur bow!
4) run like the devil through the forest and when they are behind you chasing you, shoot them.
5) get a large party, and be prepared to watch them murder, and be murdered.

or, you can jus run really really fast by getting your pathfinding up really high!

Stab them.
Make sure you come in from their LEFT, since they can shoot to the right. Try to take out the rearmost guy in the cavalry archers first. Basicaly match his speed and hit him with something repeteadly.

For the spear/sword guys, run just ahead of them and shoot them with a bow.
Works well, and takes 2-3 torso hits to kill them.

I can somehow take them all on. What difficulty are you guys using, cause I have mine set to norm.

 

[Hawk_002]

norm!

Normal damage, good AI (not that it seems to matter).

I've not once fought against Black Khergit raiders since they stuck me full of arrows and stole my first hunter! Grr! I run away and hide in a town for a night, and they usually go away.

I have two levels of Pathfinding, no companions and a Charger, and I don't have any troubles running away from just about anything, whether I am loaded with trading cargo or not.

If you're slow and you're chased by Black Khergit raiders or Dark Hunters, just release all prisoners, disband your slowest men, drop your cargo of smoked fish and head for the nearest town. Once you get there, you're safe.

ROFL! dude! jus get em like a freakn man! dont run! die fighting! and its not hard to get another hunter! raid sum caravans then go buy one lol

I saw some Khergits coming at me once, so I went to the closest town, bought about 25 mujiks (arrow fodder), and engaged. I told them to hold position and absorb the arrows, and eventually a stupid raider would charge into the group and promptly get zerg rushed. I would then try my best to lure the other circling Khergits into my little circle of death (a shield helps a lot). That's how I defeated almost 20 Khergits with my level 4 merchant.

 

[Lothar]

hehe...i tryed them once with my lvl5 archer without companions, alone!
to bad, my horse was a way to lame, and so the guyes rushed me, and i was down 1 min later.

after this happening i stayed in the south regions, killing seepirates again, until i reched lvl6 and than the demo was finished.

get a decent horse , a bow and 3 packs of arrows. put battlefield size on minimum. get the 2 heroes aswell , they are the bait. Stay near your heros wait for a raider to attack them and shoot at the horse they're on. When one is down from his horse , go after the other. at minimum battle field size they'll only come in groups of 3-5 , they can easily be beaten.

I have 11 knights with me all the time now and I never lose a battle anymore and even hardly any units. later on in the game you can take on parties of 100 enemies. As long as you play on minimum battle size and have 3 knights with you.

 

[Hawk_002]

can u even get mroe than 2 "heroes"?

 

[Sunn]

I can't get rid of 'em. I found them camping in the north and they spotted me. Of course, I'm alot faster than they are - anyway - they followed me down to the south and I slept in Tihr "two times" and when I thought they were gone... God, I was wrong. It's not that annoying though, but I'm not strong enough to take 'em on myself and no Vaegirs attacks them either. Although, I could kill them one by one. I've already killed a couple

 

[Hawk_002]

congrats on that! now jus kill about... 38 or 20 more! lol i say use my eirler idea, run like hell and blow em away with the bow!

ROFL! dude! jus get em like a freakn man! dont run! die fighting! and its not hard to get another hunter! raid sum caravans then go buy one lol

Omfg rofl n00b and all that stuff... That's idiocy, not courage. How exactly does it help my game or make me more of a man if I die fighting against a horde of stinking black khergit raiders? I have a charger, a reinforced coat of plates and a thick guard helmet. That's nearly 60,000 gold I'm wearing (and riding for you nit-pickers), and that's without my weapons!

So, do I want to risk all that by attacking 40 black khergit raiders alone just because I'm feeling manly? Nope. I'm fast, so I can choose my fights, and a wise soldier chooses fights he can win. Only an idiot would commit suicide in a futile show of bravado. So, as long as I have no reason to fight the Khergits, they can ride around the country for all I care. It's not as if they're doing anything wrong. Heck, they seem to be ignoring everybody else.

 

[Skree]

As far as i've seen... you can't lose weapons and armor you have equipped.

 

[Balor]

Well, they can nick horse that you use, that's for sure.
