Tracking?

[Slaists]

Hey, in the current version of the game (0.632): does tracking skill above 2 give any benefits? I tried pushing it higher (to 4) on Borcha and the information on tracks appeared to be the same as @ skill level 2...

This naturally brings to another question: are there any other skills that have "no returns" at higher levels?

All skills give increased benefits all the way up to level 8, which is the maximum. Tracking supplies extra information about the party (How many, what kind).

I don't think there is much of a difference between level 2 and 4. But i have a character with level 8 tracking, and i can see how many units there are, how old the tracks are, and even what type of army made the tracks (i know you can't see that last one with tracking 4).

Well, @ skill level 2 you get info: how many and @ what time... Do you really have to raise the skill all the way to 8 to find out "what type"?

 

[okiN]

Slaists, the low-level info isn't particularly precise and yes, it usually helps to know whether you're tracking peasants or dark hunters.

Once you get to tracking of 4, you get to see how many, what type etc. once in a while. Higher levels increase the frequency you will be able to detect and gives slightly tighter bounds on the numbers.

ok, gotcha, katank! thanks!

I'm not sure if this is true, but I'll put it out there anyway. My Borcha also has tracking of 4... It seems that there is a higher chance of seeing what type of unit if you actually SAW the unit on the map at some point time.

Tracking is very useful when you got beaten by someone and needs to find the bastards to rescue your men!
