WTF Is the Wolfskins? New Faction?

[Project Danny]

So there is this band of men running around with a army of like 35... (i only started this new game so i have only like 20 troops) they appear as red (enemy) to me and start chasing me? im like wtf? why? who are you?

so anyways they speak to me and are like "hey we are humans who pretend to be animals... blah blah blah.... you must pay this tole to walk in our lands bla bla bla..." the tole is like 1500... i just started this game so i cant afford that....

anyways i decided to try my luck and fight them... i have about 15 archers.... all just standing there.... not shooting... while just taking their arrows and being killed.... i told them to hold fire then fire to see if that works but nothing we got destroyed because apparntly their archers can shoot half way across the map while mine can anly shoot the distance of like 2 meters.....

Anyways is this Wolfskins group new? ive never seen them before and they seem to be attacking every faction.

i have no mods that add any new factions and no mods that add anything new to gameplay...

only mods i have is:

- Armor does something.
- Garrisons dont starve
- Bannerlordfixes
- Slow looters
- Health Rebalance

Anyways these Wolfskins are really strong seem to have their own faction or something or seem to be a new form of bandit faction? they are not afraid and dont run away either and seem to be attacking ALL factions and caravans without care.

Anyone else seen the Wolfskins?

Did you charge your troops? F1 +F3
Some minor factions are criminals so it is expected that they are chasing you.

They're one of the minor factions. Battania's, I believe...? They're basically independent mini-factions that interact with the world, but you can't join. Every culture has one.

As far as your archers, make sure they have line of sight on the enemy. If they're still not shooting, try spreading them out with F3 -> F3.

When you have your own kingdom you can actually recruit the wolfsskins btw.

There the Battanian Minor Faction...

Every Major Faction has a Minor Faction that they tend to be hostile with....

i have 117 hours in game but never seen any hostile factions that seem to be on their own and attacking every factions caravans and kites your troops when in battle lol

dont get me wrong i love the fact that there is a rogue element in game just.... its odd i guess

Wolfskins are a minor faction present in Battania at the start of the game. There are usually a couple minor factions for each major kingdom.
Like Vlandia has the Company of the Golden Boar and the Brotherhood of the Woods.

They should not be attacking every factions caravans they should be attacking Battanian Caravans because they are always hostile to Battania, and they should be attacking the enemy of who ever they are likely doing Mercanary work for....

i have seen many, each major faction seems to have 1 minor faction they are at war with at the start, in the case of the empires it is the "legion of the betrayed" if i remember right.

a few hours ago i saw the minor faction of the Aserai which are at war with the Aserai attack a group of aserai villagers.

those minor factions do appear where you can see which factions a major faction is at war with in the encyclopedia too.

LMFAO the legion of the betrayed and the kukerghit or whatever joined the western empire in my game, along with the embers, and one other merc faction.... they have 4 towns and only at war with me who has 2 towns... I think the recent update broke something with mercs ;P

ok thanks for the info.... maybe the reason why i havent seen them is maybe they get crushed by other factions before i even get to see them?
