Losing a fight

[rika]

Quick question.

How come when AI lords lose a fight they have a chance to escape but when the player loses they are always taken prisoner? Who else thinks we should get a chance to escape as well?

I had a 170 man army, and was attacking some 60 man Nord army, I randomly got knocked out, lost my entire army and got taken prisoner, the auto-resolve system is a ****ing joke.

It happens sometimes that the enemy thinks you are dead and you are not taken prisoner. Most of the time you get captured though... Lords with high honour and a high relation rating towards you may also let you go when you lose a battle.

That´s why you need companions at the bottom of your list with First Aid skills.

Or better, wait a few weeks till we get mods that let the battle continue after a knockout...

The fact that you get captured every single time is complete bull ****.

yeah agreed on the auto resolve, I couldn't be bothered to kill a group of 13 looters earlier so auto-resolved the conflict with an army I had of 40 swadian knights and twenty vaegir marksmen three of them killed and two wounded was just plain stupid.

It might not really help, if they are at the bottom of list. They might still engage battle. To make it work better you should assign them to different team and make them stay in relatively safe place. I have 'support units' in fourth team slot thats Ymira(doctor), Deshavi(scout), Ymira(looter), Katrin(trader) and 5 sword sisters as personal guards.

Attackers get multiplier x2 and defenders x3. Its better to defend than attack when using auto-resolve.
