Hello,
Not that I want to be unpleasant but leveling heroes is a pain.
They have to catch up a certain level of the game where battles start to be harder, and for little brother/sister, it is hard for them to make their place in the world
To do so, I used to take them one by one in the hideouts to ensure they would kill something.
- me equiping a shield
- tanking as much as I can
- letting them kill
So as to have them killing ennemies to improve their melee/ranged/ENDURANCE skills
This is long.
Because a hero : Alda, or a "the boar" for examlpe
- Alda : all skills to almost zero : never kills anything -> never improve her combat skills
- Dorioni the Boar : high melee skills - 2 or 3 in Endurance -> so slow that he never reaches the ennemies in time to kill them and improve his skills.
So the best "legit" way I have found is to take them in a very little group in hideouts or low number looters groups (making retreat the rest of the army, or just having not a big army, else the looters will surrender) and to make them kill ennemies.
This takes a lot of time.
My experience :
Using a crossbow on a horse is insane to level Riding (let the character in the II (archers) formation wihtout moving and fire at ennemies)
Still leveling melee remains long.
Well, now I'm lazy so I'm using the only mod I use : Character Manager, which also allows to put the good perks to heroes. For example in one handed, not to pick the Cavalry perk for an infantryman hero...
Thanks to this mod I noticed that a decent governor (for certain towns) has to be an ubber-overpowered guy, to have the most benefic perks is possible to have
In a current Vlandia game, I have Sargot (which was taken by the Battanian) and Nogand, even setup as governor id not enough. I can barely have a 200 troop army, along with 4 caravans, financial balance is still uncertain (goes from slightly positive to slightly negative).. Sargot is a mess Ortysia is a dream
Even with a godlike governor (made with the Ch.Manager) it is barely hard to have this town runnning good). But this would be another topic I guess.
Note that now it is very good that we can setup ourselves our brother ! Thx to devs !
Maybe to be extended to other heroes or lord/ladies we hire/marry. When they join us, keep their skill level, but reset attrib/focus/perks points.
See ya.
