How to beat thugs gang? 8 vs 30

[Tornnado]

Are you guys able to fight the thugs gang? It says the fight is my whole party (lets say 80 soldiers) vs around 30 thugs, but when I battle I start with like 8 soldiers. Are you guys able to kill them all?How you do it?Seems like a bug to me or maybe unfair, I even upgraded the civilian outfit to latest tier of all my companions including me

I managed to do it on the second try, but only because some of the thugs got stuck behind a cart... however, I was only level 12 or something.

Havent tried it yet tbh. Sounds like some scenarios only allow a set amount of your troops. Like the bandit hideouts.

I tend to beat those by letting all my soldiers follow me, then whenever someone shows up we sealclub his ass and move on to the next target.

You can influence which soldiers you get as it draws your troops from the top down (or it did in warband and it SEEMS to do the same in bannerlord) thus ensuring you at least get the troops that you want!

They all charge you at once, no way you can take by small groups.

Bring a shield is my advice, basically get swamped by thugs

Can you find shields for civilian outfit?

Round two you get to bring your battle gear

Is that new?

Nope

 

[chaosdeamon0]

Nope

I have done hundreds of these fights and never been in my battle gear.

Are you on about the quest version or where you clear the street on your own initiative?

You mistake gang wars (civilian gear only) with hideout assault (battle gear without horses, limited troop number)

Tell your men to hold position, bring a two hander and flank the thugs as they clash with your troops. If you can one shot enough of them quickly enough then you'll be good. Have good troops in your party

 

[M_Rat13]

Bring party members. They are beasts against thugs.

Nope I mean when you’re rude to thugs and then attack them in the street and then after you attack a much larger bunch in your gear

 

[Ichon]

Look for cart or obstruction so that can't rush you all at once and have your men wait behind it then order charge when the thugs get close and attack from the flanks fast. Thugs are a bit weaker than Looters but even then 30+ in a short time is tough.

I am assuming some more weapons like throwing knives and staffs will eventually be added to civilian gear because of now it is extremely limited in weapon though the armour are not half bad compared to the enemy.

Oh. I didn't even know about that option.
I knew only about the mission "new gang moving in"

ah, I've not tried that I've only removed gang leaders by attacking their thugs

If you try to find clear bandit infestation quests near hideouts then all of the bandit parties vacate the hideout and roam the map instead, so you only have to deal with boss and his thugs.
