Some questions aboutTATW 3.2 [A very Great Mod!
]
This relates to my recent Campaign. I was paying much more attention to traits,retinue, and diplomacy than normal, so I have got a few queries (I was playing Eriador, but I think these are common to all factions).
1. Despite building armourers/heavy armourers, nobody got fine armour/ornamental armour
2. Isengard is a citadel: After I captured it, I decided it would be producing cavalry, but although I had the pre requisites for a Tourney Field(heavy armourer and baron's stables) it seemed there was not any option available.
3. I believe that the maximum retinue is 8?
4. Some of my governors got bad characteristics like lazy or drunkard, even though I was trying to avoid these things by destroying the inn line of buildings wherever I captured a settlement. (after perhaps building a spy)
5. No sign of a swordsmiths guild. I acquired merchant's guild, explorers, and obviously plenty of thieves guilds - which are easy to obtain.
6. Ballistas and archers seem not to be able to fire at trolls at close range...is there some sort of minimum distance?
7. As far as I can see getting a diplomat up to level 10 and having a trustworthy rep makes little or no difference; later in the game when I had some money I tried bribing armies and settlements, to no avail. People refused my generous offers anyway!
8. It seems that some settlements can never become huge cities; at the end of the game Bree was on 34,000 inhabitants but did not become Huge. Is this hardcoded – only a few places like Moria and Minas T can?
