Very few addtional options on the overland map

[Chasted]

After playing Warband a few things came to mind when I was watching... I just wanted the option to do a few more things like;

1. Even if I don't have any allegiance to a nation, why can't I help that Trading Caravan being attacked (Or those peasants) by some random lord?

2. When someone's raiding a town, can I just click on the town and help instead of having to talk to the guy to say "SURRENDER OR DIIIIE!"

3. The option to just say "Oi, bugger off!" As the Enemy lords play pong between two invisible blocks hoping, just hoping, that you might be gone so they can raid that precious village in the next day... Or three... Or Four... Heck, five (It's really fun when your a Nord and they are from Khergit Khanate and you can't catch up to them).

4. More of a general suggestion but... If the goal of a raiding party is to capture a castle, could you please script in the AI so they don't decide it's a good idea to raid the near-by village first.

1. Good, but better make a new topic about it, that suggestion should bring a pretty good discussion.
2. Why that?
3. Yeah, sounds good.
4. Sound good too.

For the question for 2, it's just me but I usually dislike having to start an incident and well... It just doesn't seem right that I'm considered the aggressor just because they choose to raid a town (And plus, if it's scripted in you'll get villagers to help you in your battle against that lords army... Woohoo).

 

[PrinceGhaldir]

But why wouldnt his relationshp drop if you attack him while he's raiding a city, in that point you are the aggressor.
I do get your point, but I dont agree.

 

[Chasted]

It's your village, perhaps?

Either way, it would be nice to get the village battle setting when your defending it instead of something else...

 

[PrinceGhaldir]

So? He doesnt like you, if you're interrupting him.

i agree. village battles would be nice to battle in against other lords rather than mad farmers with pitchforks or bandits raiding the village.

i always disliked it too when you couldnt do anything about a village being raided.

i would also like to be able to help the lord of my choosing while approaching the battle.
