Noticed this today and you can verify it easy with game encyclopedia. It's quite boring cause i started a Vlandian warlord playthrough and can't recruit any Vlandians companions !!!
So dear Taleworlds developers if you could add more diversity of culture for recruitable heroes ! There is almost only Sturgians heroes and few Empires ones, only one has Vlandian culture and it's a woman with an Empire tunic... There is also many taverns without heroes at all especially Sturgians, Aserai and Khuzait Taverns.
Less important but i didn't like it very much: really too much female companions
What's needed for now to greatly improve gameplay:
- More variety of culture among companions
- Find like 90% wanderers/heores of the culture in their own region (for now Sturgians are everywhere in Vlandia and Empire but not in Sturgia XD) Find a Vlandian wanderer/hero in a Vlandian tavern doesn't seems that much crazy !?
- More variety of profiles/skills/jobs to assign them clan roles.
- Ensure that almost all taverns got one or two companions, a very few can have none indeed. Currently all taverns from Sturgia, Aserai and Khuzait taverns have no heroes.
- Make heroes move from nearby towns through a certain amount of time.
Facultative but would be more realistic like this:
-Reduce number of female companions especially for Vlandia, Aserai, and probably Empire (even if there is an Empress) : that feel to me like the most "misogynist" cultures. Sturgia, Khuzait, and Battania are more ok to have quite some female heroes.
I think I saw a Nexus Mod for that.
Yeah ! There is some Nexus mods to add companions:
Bleinz's More Wanderers
SomeDudeOnTheW3B mods
