No bandits?

[neonzn]

Heres the situation: 59 days only 17 battles won (0 lost). Question is WHERE THE HELL I CAN FIND bandits ,brigands and so on? This game due to this issue became horribly booooring ... i Dont feel like wandering 3 hours in a row to fight 2-4 battles and winning 12 tournaments... Due to my low renown  and almost no incoming missions from lords I can not get approved as vasal. I am playing as sarranids. Yes I tried to raid bandits caves and so on.. but its just not enough.. seriously i spent like 3 hours this morning and found 3-4 smal scale (like parties of 10-23) skirmishies over WHOLE map. How i could fix this issue?...

sea raiders are teh best. Build an army of 10 cracktroops by attacking sea raiders who are in numbers of 20/30 and you get loads of xp and reallyu good loot as your fighting 1:3 and sea raiders drop the best loot out of all the bandits ive found. But make sure you do most the killing and have your army hold positino till you wittle them down first or you will just loose your units. Its how i built an army of knights.

Ya.. its  aint that simple.. since sarranid kingdom is waaaaay too far from sea raiders spawning location and I doubt I could solo take on 20-30 sea raiders.. when i have everything at max difficulty (only thing which is not max is dmg i take is at 1/2) but still if i get surrounded by 10 sea raiders with axes i wont last for sht ;DDD But i do believe that sarranids are best at cav (compared to other units they are offering) ... so most of the time i dont lose any units since mamluks wrecks havoc as any other swadian knight I think all of them ride war horses which are pretty good at charging + good armor and close combat melee weapons Btw I already have army of 37 or so...

why do you have to stay within sarranid? i go all over the place. You can solo any infantry army by staying on a horse and just doing charges picking them off. thats what i did and managed to get an army of 10 knights so quickly, then once they all knights i presume they dont get more xp so i just added 10 recurites each time and trained them up. Now i have 40 knight army and destroy armys of 100+

Well I never said that I stayed there  ,its simply because i recruit my units there and I intend to join sarranids so traveling like 10 days back and forth just to battle some brigands seems to be bit ridiculous (yes as you have prob realised on my previous posts i checked that spot and indeed i found bandits there) ,another few things to add: sea raiders have ranged weapons aswell so picking them 1 by 1 could be tiresome task with a chanced to get killed in the proces, they don't stay in 1 spot... they always or atleast most of the time keep moving forward sure I can lure away some of them but eventualy they will reach my cav. who holds the ground (we all know cav can be useless when they are not on the move) sure It would be stupid to let that happen,but still i think that trying to solo 30 sea raider units is a waiste of time especialy for me when i ride a hunter and i have a 1h scimitar

fair enough, cant say i ever had any of those problems and i did it form level 1. Fastest way to level.

 

[neonzn]

I doubt anyone here at all, can take on lets say 10-12 sea raiders solo, which are set at fastest combat speed and combat AI is set to good(highest) at lv 1, your mount will take damage from time to time and lossing ur mount at such time means K.O. Even if ur lv 35 and you are  unmounted facing 3-5 opponents at once with these settings is nearly impossible to beat at close range.

I never said what difficulty it was on. Ai was set to normal and i think i had it on 1/2 damage to me. Its really not that hard when you work out the pattern. If you stay a certain distance they wont engage in ranged and keep switching in and out of mele and range. Though i did sometimes get unlucky with an insta axe to the face in one case killing me. Obviously i wernt doing parties larger then 10/12 at the start. Later id take a party of 30 and kill 15 then let my army of 10 charge in to help,
