im confused now

his post is old (around version 1.0), and it is clearly talking about camp followers

For the "Camp Followers" it is a separate menu

bonus may have changed over the updates. You can check how they work now by examining the game code.

okay but basically you're saying there's no point having female skirmisher troops in your army for the morale boost?

point having female ...troops in your army ?

Camp followers (the unit) in your army proper can be paid 450 to raise the morale of your men by 3 points using an option in the talk menu, but have no other effects besides being bad skirmishers. Women of any unit type in your camp followers train (accessed from the camp menu) cannot be directly interacted with but give the passive morale boost based on their numbers every 3 days. So I carry around 2 camp followers (in case one dies) for the active morale boost as needed and add peasant women / refugees to my camp followers when needed to get the nearest wound treatment / morale boost level. Camp Defenders make decent archers but I have better uses for the money it takes to promote them and the troop slots they take in my army, YMMV.

The goal Powerful Lord and Strong King can only be completed if you have a good reputation? (I've almost complete the Infamous Raider goal, and I would like to continue being feared)

Yes, however, you can set your own goal.

If I reassign soldiers to a different group than default (say, making all my spearmen infantry to have one big shieldwall), does that affect how the AI uses them also or just me?

only your army

okay.. so having a bunch of female skirmishers (other than camp followers) in your army is useless unless you get the event with the Camp Follower Train. got it

so having a bunch of female skirmishers in your army is useless

lets fix that

so having female warriors on your army doesn't give you any special bonus (combat advantage), but you still get the benefit of having the option for RP purposes

Example: you are a fan of Viking TV Show and you would like to have shieldmaidens on your army

[harpred]

heh

i love Vikings. i heard the shieldmaiden thing was way overexagerrated though and didn't happen much in history (unless all the men were gone).

in the game of course no female non-companion units even have shields which makes them very vulnerable to missile troops :/

I was wandering in England, so I found a location named Farmland then...

...I walked into the center of the farm, and vikings attacked me! What was that? Is that supposed to happen?

Not sure if there is quick answer to this, but I'll try:

Why team killing is against rules in most servers? I know it is annoying to be killed by team player, but it is just realistic. In real chaotic battles I believe that happened all the time. Just think a huge battle where are 1000 men on both sides and they are swinging their swords like crazy. They all had banners of their lords at shields. And if you lost your shield, you will grab any shield you can get. Someone just did not realize that the one he believed as enemy were actually on his own side and killed him, it happened very often I believe. Also archers are shooting arrows from distance and nobody knows if your arrow accidentally flew to wrong section of battlefield. The catapults were hard for aiming and your stone might fly anywhere, or something can go wrong with the structure of trebuchet and the stone fly to wrong direction. Those ancient stuff were not target weapons.
Also I believe there were spys on both sides of the line. They might try to cause some chaos or try to kill generals etc.

In Warband you get punished and auto kicked because of those very normal phenomenon in battlefields. Why? I know trolling is annoying, but still.. There were "trollers" in ancient times also.

Yep.


@Harmi, did you mean to post this here?

Anyway, I don't think there's a "quick answer" to that question . Closest I could guess is that people vary in how much realism they want, you want more than the average player or server owner.

Not sure, lol. I think I wanted to have the question to some universal topic. But anyways your answer is good and I think it is the case for me.

if you are Christian, and/or have Christian fiefs to give, is it bad to recruit a Pagan lord? i presume it doesn't matter.. ie its not like he wont be able to recruit cause villagers hate him etc
