chance for dying?

[[OCe]Kagari]

what are the chance of dying as of the latest patch? no lords nor companions ever died in battle in my game. Some do die out of old age tho. And yes, all heroes death option is enabled

I think it is very low to begin with and I think the medicine skill lowers it even more. Not sure on the exact numbers though.

i you fight every year 1 or 2 groups of looter cawse you play a trader / smithing / arena-fighter, you will never ever see someone dying.

but if you mostly support your kingdom in expanding / war and are involved in nearly every big battle, the chance for dying should be "high".

play iron-mode with highest game-difficult if you like to fail, or wait for a mod to play a super hard soul-like game...

edit: your childs needs 20 years to grow and all other childs from clans. i assume the game try to have a "healthy" population of lords / clans... so the chance to dy maybe change depending on whatever.

Yup, that's it.
I'm about 12 years into my campaign and at least a dozen nobles have died in battle.
It's all down to Lady Luck and the fickle events of chance.

I play as a trader at first but im already switched to a vassal playthrough for 2-3 years ago, never seen someone dying in battle. I often see my companions die in my 1.7 playthrough tho

My main character got killed by looters at about clan tier 2.5.

So, I'd say it happens fairly regularly enough, but it depends on your campaign settings going in.

I know I'm a bit late on answering this, but with the current version of the game, I break down the death chance in this video.

Check the "Is death chance related to armor" thread here, it has a video breaking down death chance mathematically. It should be noted the death chance even with suboptimal stats in everything and high age is less than 5% by default. That applies to enemy lords as well.

Had no idea it was this low. I guess I don't need to be a coward and pick -50% for clan.

I had the same thoughts, I like playing on full chance. Did an ironman run and the first time I fell in battle I died T_T That was humbling!

I asked myself the same question because I was 10 years into my game and barely any lords had been killed but then I defended a siege and managed to kill 2 enemy lords. So it does happen, it is just super rare
