Rohan does try to do stuff, they just tend to be beaten by the Isengard hosts. As you've said, they do do stuff when they're not losing constantly.
out of some 200 days, there was only one campaign that managed to get anything done. the last few times i got the call to arms it was cancelled before i could ever reach theoden. this rohan has been 9000+ strength for a long time, and they pay no attention to isengard or dunlandings
Actually, once you accept the quest the next time you defeat a noble you'll be able to capture the leader.
i've taken the quest at least twice and couldnt capture a single defeated guy. luckily i did manage to capture one and then was offered the quest (easy influence
)
Have a faster party? Put some of your men into your capital to speed yourself up? Invest in pathfinding? Trolls are not slow beasts, especially considering that their party size is effectively 1. You can cheat, it's almost the same as asking the devs to make things easier for you without you having to resort to the existing methods.
i already have about 5 or 6 pathfinding, 90%+ elite cavalry party, and i need all of them to take on bigger parties. i just think it would be much more logical to have the quest be
A. accept it from an NPC
B. go to the city and speak to quest giver / get a scripted screen
C. be put into a custom fight with trolls and some men / the trolls spawn at a reasonable position near the city
i haven't been able to catch up to the troll, if i can even get to the city before it dies. i assume the troll party catches a weak party and then gets swarmed by all the patrols around
I think you'll have to deal with this or switch to another side as I think the devs don't intend to fix this.
im not in that faction but while traveling for companions and scenery across the map i instantly decided to not bother with getting influence for that faction. given how all other NPCs are at most a stairs climb away, its a bit ridic
This is a problem with the game even without the mod.
ok thanks for replyin
it doesn't really matter much though cause my game has bugged out, every battle or scene i enter the display freezes. day 215~
