A friendly advice for every beginner.

Don't help caravans that get ambushed by bandits, while playing on hard difficulty.

I just lost my whole save to the most WTF-feature in that game.

So i see this caravan battling some bandits. I think to mysely: "Easy win".

The fight starts, i get "supported" by two caravan people that can do absolutely
nothing else but "dodge".

AI takes over these guys... they run right in front of the enemy... enemy kills them.. GAME OVER.

To be fair, the game told me something was up. If one of these caravan people get killed, i'm gonna be "defeated", the game said. I had the chance to redo the fight or go back to the main menu ( ? ) .

I thought defeated in like:" The caravan is dead, all loot goes to the bandits and i maybe get some mood debuffs"... but no - game over. And since i was playing with only one save...

@Devs WHY? My guys were still standing and doing good. And this was just a random ass caravan..

Can we please have an option to turn that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of ?

They also run into poison and die. They run into lightning bolts and die. First time I saw it happen I was thinking, maybe I get to inherit a free caravans worth of goods. No.

Not sure if you’ve tried this, but some advice for your situation though would be to relocate them. Even if they aren’t your troops you can still change where they start. That is also strange. It feels to me like you shouldn’t be able to pick where they start perhaps, but also their death shouldn’t end your game.

It doesnt matter the difficulty. Its the same in ALL difficulty levels, even in novice. Bandits attacking caravans are always 2-3 levels above you. In early game you cant beat them no matter what you do.

I move all of them to as far away as possible before battle start

Do what nabster suggests, it really helps a lot keeping allies such as merchants away from the figth
