Recruits and Looters

[LDominating]

Can we please give Recruits back real weapons?
And not farming tools?
It's just really bad at early game to lose when outnumbering to looters because they have double skill weapons and actual weapons.
Just DO IT!

Okay you probably already know that. I agree recruits are bad, and peasants amusingly outperform them despite lower tier due to having rocks and more scythes.

The pitchforks and short hammers are basically like "here, have a death sentence!"

The problem isn't recruit weapons, the problem is that we have to toss recruits straight into war instead of being able to actually get them some gear.

Steward perks practically function as a way to get them gear by discarding gear and getting XP in return.

Granted in the early game that's expensive, but mid-late game and/or if you cheese smithing it's NP.

My impression is that the perks don´t have a focus. One should have the option to either buff low tier or high tier. Now it seems random or everyone gets a few each.

The 'problem' imo, is simply it's too easy for the player to get access to T4-T6 troops, and even worse, spam a certain unit type.

Frankly speaking the efficacy of T1-T3 troops need to be brought up a bit, while at the same time making it vastly more difficult to get access to T4-T6 troops, particularly early on in the game.
