+5 party size
OR
+10% morale penalty on kill(captain)

Thoughts? I wish it were easier to test these % bonuses.

Is +5 party size going to make or break you? Even +10 or 15 seems pretty paltry, especially if you have a well rounded army. I skip the meager flat "+ whatever" perks unless there is a secondary ability with it I want. Sure there are a few times were +2 or 5 health "might" have saved me, but generally I see the small bonus as worthless. Meanwhile some of the percentage adding perks can add up with other perks and become pretty good.

Kind of depends on how your playing and intend to play with this character. I tend to pile on every party size option you can find. Most npcs hover around 100 or so troops with the leaders and bigger clans can occasionally get up to 200. Get your numbers up and you just roam in enemy lands capturing anyone you want. Your also basically untouchable since the AI won't go near anyone who has 40 or 50 more troops then they do even if those troops are just peasants and looters.

Neither option is particularly impactful by itself. A case could be made for both. MC and four clan members with Authority is an additional twenty-five party size. On account of them all being party leaders in an army.

That's potentially 25 additional Tier 6...

The morale bonus relies upon the hero with the perk actually leading a formation. But it is a multiplicate bonus and quite rare.

I'll give the morale bonus to one hero and test it. Thanks everyone!

Captain perks are pretty much useless, so go with Party Size.
