Farmers on viking and raiders parties

[mikeboix]

WTF. I have not read that issue here on other threads, so I don't know if this is just a problem I presonally have or is a general bug.

I suppose this does not need much explanations. Farmers sailing with pirates?

PD: Additionally, when I finish a naval battle and I appear again on the wolrd map, my icon is not a boat but a walking man. So weird.

It's a native problem TBH. Farmers can be converted to sailors of course.

This has no sense anyway. Viking raiders should be fearsome and everybody should try to run from them. Pirates didn't have simple sailors rowing on the boats, they all were sailors and warriors at the same time.

Please, fix this.

It's from the Swedish vikings attacking the slave ships.  All the slave ships have farmer slaves so they vikings keep freeing them.  In my game there's one monster group that's up to 300 strong and several in the 100+ range.

I doubt it will make it into the real game (but maybe) but a cool mod idea would be to have freed slaves convert type to the low end of the swedish viking troop tree and then start leveling as they fight.  It will make for some pretty serious end game content.  Taking on a 300 man strong viking fleet would be bloody.  As it is now they're easy,  just plop 80 archers in a ship, sail around them in ciricles and kill the 100s of farmers, then board and kill the 8 or 10 vikings.

Yush, I have seen several 300+ Viking armies full of farmers. They are easy to kill though.

I have noticed that too, that's weird that Vikings who where themselves the slaves traders have such a rage against slavers... maybe the slavers should be an integral part of the vikings factions and troop trees ?

The Swedish fleet has 100+ Peasants..............
