Good Lord, please no. I don't get it how people may find funny and entertaining the need for armour and equipment to upgrade the troops. I would've never upgraded any of my soldiers if there was a requirement "1 top armour, 2 top swords, ahegao panties and 3 glasses of wine to celebrate his promotion", just because it's boring.
Just saw many posts with people asking for this, so you have to manually buy and equip every soldier with armours and weapons, and leveling up only promotes their stats. Imagine doing this while having 200-300 people in your party.
Fair enough, and yeah it does sound very tedious.
BannedYou know I was also going to simply dismiss the idea because I also resent having to traverse the entire map in search of horses BUT maybe it could be so that at the start of the game you would manually arm your upgraded troops, but only until you've got a quartermaster assigned, who then takes over the micro-managing and whose traits can even get him better deals (intelligence and trade, logistics were that to exist). By the time you hire a quartermaster, you already have 20 soldiers max, which should be manageable, and then you'd feel the benefits first-hand of assigning companions to these roles, imagine the sense of accomplishment, win-win, innit? Maybe important to mention is that in this system the update of the soldier's stats should not cost money, as it, independent of armaments costs, is basically just battle experience. Players who realise the importance of a quartermaster would simply seek them out first. Another idea that supports this somewhat is having subordinates to army roles. You're telling me a single surgeon can patch up an army of hundreds of wounded men in days? Just as surgeons should have multiple medics assigned under them to bolster their efficiency, quartermasters should have logisticians who would boost his stats or something. You could obviously still use these men in battle, but maybe in reserve, as only in the direst situation would you want to sacrifice your skilled workers.
Freemen Guerrila Warfare for all it's many faults did that part wonderfully to me, you get two options when recruiting units, getting them barebones with only civilian clothing for a small fee appropriated to their level or paying premium for them to come fully geared according to their troop type.
It's mostly to give a little more meaning to the world economy and to keep the player's funds in check.
Yeah I've seen that. They aren't going to do diddly squat for Armor Effectiveness. They'll probably just add some more points to high end armors and call it a day. Which sadly is probably going to create new balance issues.In theory they will because it's mentioned in their Future Plans statement, tucked away in the "Other" section.
"Of course, we will also be working on maintaining, balancing and improving all of the existing singleplayer features and content. This is including further AI fixes and improvements, for sieges in particular, as well as, a continued effort to improve performance across the board. This extends to the polishing of any newly introduced content, such as War & Peace reasons, and balancing existing mechanics like Birth & Death rates, skill experience gains, and armour effectiveness."

Yeah needing horses for upgrades but not equipment is a little strange. However I don't think it would be fun to have to source all equipment for troops as well. I would have preferred that troops didn't need horses to level up at all and it was just a part of their upgrade cost. But, these things are ultimately pretty minor.
This is why I never play quests. Constant crashes and constant crash fixes.
yeah combat is absolutely ****ed. the game is absolutely unplayable without a mod like RBM or Drastic battle, not to mention the AI...
