if i bring slave master ruben directly to Bo will he join me? update: nope. wouldn't even talk to me. Gonna try killing him I guess and see how that goes. trying to find a mod that reduces the visual effect of the blood rain in vain but there aren't any. It's really laggy and looks bad and the only thing keeping me from settling in vain. also, been getting a ton of crashes and not sure why. Just probably once every 30 or 40 minutes. As opposed to almost never crashing in my first like 20 hours of the game. Maybe it has something to do with having a ton of dudes, or being in fog islands? I don't remember it happening till I started spending a lot of time here. Tabletops fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Apr 19, 2019 |

 My gang of two in Rebirth expanded while I was training up in the pits. Before we broke out, we freed every slave along the way. A large number joined up without me asking. It's going to significantly complicate escaping the prison zone without starving to death. First stop: Blister hill where we raided every bar and the bakery.

If you set up in the border zone prepare for RAIDS RAIDS RAIDS. I learned that the Black Dragon Ninjas can both break down your mkII walls and kill the gently caress out of the mercs I had at my base. Luckily was able to survive that encounter by bailing until they left. I am SO CLOSE to getting food operations stable in my first base go and these raiders breach the walls and set me back a few days. Look forward to finally getting a stable base that can repel raids so I can explore.

I have not had any major factions (HN, Shek, etc) come a knocking, but the others come just about every day. I don't mind really. I love base defense. Just need to get even more mercs and upgrade my walls again after learning that the higher level raiders will knock my walls down before my gates, and need to get more turrets up. I did not know that they can reload on their own. I thought they needed to have ammo brought to them / expended ammo ala crossbows. Though I read you have to completely rebuild walls to get from mk2 to mk3. Which I guess will be a hassle but hopefully the trade off will be worth it. The place I built my outpost is near a waystation with a builder supply shop and a bar so that is like 20-25k of cats to sell to. Also have my main dude with 80 athletics and 60 str and a trader backpack who can get to the other cities in the borderzone very quickly (runs at 26mph) which I have had to do to feed my peeps. I have 9 people laboring away at different things to build this sucker up. Once I get the food situation under control I think the game will really open up (meaning I will stop focusing on city building) and I will work to end the source of these raids.

The funny thing about the borderlands is how chaotic the raid zones are. It's possible to be within territory claimed by the shek, HN, UC, or some combination thereof. It's also possible to be within none of those claims. I was within Shek/HN claimed territory, so I had to pay taxes to the Shek (till I officially joined them), and join in prayer day (the best goddamn day) till I was ready to burn the HN.

When bandits raid successfully what do they steal exactly? Just food stores? Could I buy a building in some town and move all the excess food there? Basically, I want to leave my base with everyone and just have hired mercs there for a while but I don't know how realistic that is.

I had one prayer day at my base on the butte between Squin and the Hub. They took one look at my team composed entirely of skeletons and skeleton accessories and lit out for the hills. I then got one HN raid that beat all my dudes down and left. Didn't hear a peep from them the rest of that game. The Band of Bones, however, was coming by and going "You kicked the poo poo out of us last time! That was fun! DO IT AGAIN!  " on the regular.

Sillybones posted:When bandits raid successfully what do they steal exactly? Just food stores? Could I buy a building in some town and move all the excess food there? The black dragon ninjas will raid your food. So will the Shek government if you give them permission. Some of the other factions probably will as well but most will just kick your poo poo in and probably stand over you or run back and forth while you bleed out. If you leave your base unoccupied raids will just wait at your gates for you to get back. I’m not certain how they’ll interact offscreen with hired guards. It’s possible to end the black dragon raids entirely by taking out their headquarters in the border zone, which also nets you some bounties and a top quality ninja sword.

Wonder if that's enough... 20ish stats is bandit crap. 40ish is like drunk mercenary range. 60ish is skilled. 80ish is heroic. 90-100 is legendary. Once you're in the 50's and 60's, you start to feel like you're decently strong. 30-40 is pretty good, but low enough that you can get overwhelmed easily, and low enough that you can't touch actually strong enemies.

What determines how difficult an enemy is in regards to how much you level your combat from fighting them? Average of combat stats? Does giving them a weapon they have no skill in stop you getting skill ups against them?

Does giving them a weapon they have no skill in stop you getting skill ups against them? There's almost no examples of enemies with really skewed stats, like lets say 40 STR but only 10 DEX, so it's almost always safe to assume that the discrepancy between average stats and highest stat will be low. That being said, yeah, the higher the stats the better. Weapons actually do make a difference for enemies, yes. In the slavery start, if you steal the guard's weapons, you'll get less Martial Arts EXP for beating them than you would if you let them keep their weapons. That being said, you could always just take their weapon and give it back once your MA is high enough to deal with them even fully armed.

And it's compared against your melee defence (or martial arts if you're unarmed). That's the only thing that matters. So give your prisoners a rusty Jitte or Foreign Saber to max their defence.

That's the only thing that matters. I actually gave them a jitte, but never really got to train against them since the mercs I hired would break in and beat them up every time. And then I imported to fix broken shops and apparently that cleared all my cages too.

Yeah, they do that. It's why I try to never let caravans in if I can help it. It's annoying to pick over the place to make sure you got rid of all of them again when they leave. In fact, city guards will do the same to your houses even if you set them to locked and private. Or they used to, anyway. I guess search warrants aren't a thing in the HN.

Going thief/assassin type build is so much fun. I bypass virtually skirting dangerous. What exactly is the formula for stealth? My ninja has like 72 total right now, and can pretty much sprint right in front of most enemies in broad daylight without breaking stealth. I've been exploring the world simply by running vast distances in sneak mode.

I think your stealth move speed is your stealth skill taken as percentage of your normal run speed, with equipment bonuses/penalties applied on top of that. Stealth-boosting gear can actually make you naruto-run faster than you can normie-run. As for getting caught, light level matters, as does line of sight, though once you get to 80 or 90 you can prance around in front of just about anything. Does perception do anything if you're not using a crossbow or turret? I'm thinking the crab helmet is probably the best all around hat in the game if you're not using ranged weapons, because it only has a perception penalty instead of a bunch of combat penalties
