I posted in another thread on companions how much I liked Kaverra and Adonja. I'm now with more than 1,200 game days and in every battle Adonja's name dominates the screen, she's a real slayer in battle with archery, horse archery and riding developed,has a bastard sword also, Kaverra right behind her with her "Man-Opener", her original weapon.The poor women don't seem to be very popular but in my game they're dominating the battlefield, almost an army by themselves, lots of leveling since they make so many kills.Riva's picking up the leftovers with a black iron spear, Sir Roland with a lance. I maxed out Gydia on medic skills, gave her the best armor I could find and a rusty Noldor Runesword and now she's quickly picking up levels too. Diev (masterwork longbow, katana), Sara (polearm, sword and shield) and Leslie (bow and sword and shield) get everyone else that thinks they've escaped.All my companions except Diev are mounted and I try to develop their riding skills highly.I kept Gydia on foot until I maxed her medic skills and now she's smacking things around like she enjoys it.
1244 game days, I just checked their levels Adonja 35 (started level 8, Kaverra 32 (from 12),Leslie 32 (1, very good, lots of good shooting with bow and good sword work, a fine trader too), Sara 31 (10, she's my engineer), Riva 32 (5, concentrated on training ), Sir Roland 41 (40, he started so high it's hard to gain,but he's worth every dinar ), Diev 31 (from 25, pretty good because he's on foot and gets less chances than the others, but he's good at what he does), Gydia level 29 from 5 but leveling fast now.
I like this bunch they get along great, don't squabble and they bring ruin to our enemies.
