Vae Victus
Recruit
Hi everyone, first of all I wanted to say how overjoyed I was when found this incredibly addictive game. Now for the suggestion:
Out of the four different personalities, the clerk personality has no advantage. Choosing this personality, the player starts off with no commodities (unlike the merchant, and to lesser extent, the hunter), no armor (unlike the squire) and no real weaponry (!). Also I found that his starting skills (or the lack of them) don't compensate for the initial weakness of the character.
While I understand this is a don't-get-your-hands-dirty-keep-out-from-the-fray personality, the lack of funds at the start of the game doesn't allow you to hire more than two townsfolk (it is difficult to earn additional money at the tournaments, since the character starts with little weapon points), which may get killed in the first battle.
Therefore, may suggestion is to start that personality with a handful of followers - a few townsmen/peasants in order to counter the character's initial disadvantage.
