Three Way Battles

[Velik]

I've come upon war parties, whom both hate me, fighting it out. I'd like to have a free for all between us. Would this be possible?

 

[GonZ]

Seems like a good idea to me... I've encountered lots of these situations too. Would be good to go in, out smart 'em both then mop up the remainder. Especially if it had an affect on the campaign map afterwards.

It's not now. Though I don't see why it couldn't be in a future release.

Armagan has already said that the whole game is based on two sides fighting, and three-way battles are impossible to implement at this moment. Perhaps M&B2?

Perhaps a compromise would be to allow the player to (temporarily) side with whatever faction he is in better standing with.
You would then, after the battle is over, get the option to "backstab" them, so to speak, while incurring a bigger diplomacy penalty than if you'd attacked them the usual way.

This wouldn't have a terribly big effect in practice, but it'd beat having to camp alongside two fighting armies for hours on end, waiting for them to finish duking it out.

Hmm, If you'd join against a common enemy, it could raise your relationship with the temprary ally. And make you immune to their attacks. (i.e. not having them attack you in the first place for an amount of time)

well what i think this game needs is to choose to become a knight adn fight for swandian or veiger factions or decide your own destiny with your own town population and say u are campaigning and u come across this u can provide suppot as your own faction it would be pretty kool
