Bandit Toggle

[zantariz]

I started my current game with Bandits disabled. I find it challenging enough to get all the things done I want to do in the first several seasons without having an unknown variable in the mix. I've gotten to a point in the game where things have started to get into a bit of a routine... still plenty to do, but now I think I may end up regretting not having the added complexity of bandits. Initially I thought maybe having a delay option available (i.e. delay bandits for # seasons). However, I think it would be even better to have the option to toggle Bandits on or off at any point. If you don't want to start with it on, you can enable it later to give it a try and if you don't enjoy it, you can turn it right back off. I don't know how integrated that option is into the gameplay or how possible / impossible that might be to implement, but it's something I would appreciate.

Bandits don't really add any difficulty; they just sit in their camps and are easier to kill than most animals. So be reassured you are not missing a lot !

Thank you. That does make me feel better about having it disabled. Not sure if the dead bandits are lootable (I know there are environmental items and containers that can be looted, but I mean the bodies themselves), but I could see how that might be helpful in early game to get better clothes, pouch, etc. if they carry such things. Hopefully the bandit corpses are not skinned like animals... that would be disturbing...

I guess I'll have to start a new game just to experience it.

You can turn bandits on and off for the current game in "customize game", no need to start again.

Okay, thanks a lot. I assume this is akin to the other post where it requires a season change. Thank you!

Ich bekomme für jeden getöteten Banditen aber auch Dynastie Punkte. Wer ohne Banditen spielt verpasst also so gesehen schon etwas.

Und Banditen werden ja mit der Zeit auch immer stärker. Ich spiele zwischenzeitlich mal mit Banditen und mal ohne.

Ich weiß jetzt wohl nicht ob das mit den Dynastie Punkten schon immer so war, oder ob es sich eventuell um einen Bug handelt.

(Ich spiele zur Zeit Public Staging 1.5.2.0, vielleicht liegt es aber auch daran.)

Und die Banditen plündern lohnt sich auf jeden Fall, die haben oft sehr gute Sachen bei sich. :)

Not always been like that, but was added a few updates ago.

Ah ok danke, das wusste ich nicht da ich ja nicht immer Banditen eingeschaltet habe. Mir war es jetzt nur zum ersten mal aufgefallen. :)
