Executing the brotherhood of the woods

[El lobo]

I want to execute the members of the brotherhood of the woods, as they are nothing more than bandits. But I fear that doing so would unjustly affect my reputation. Is this the case or is there nothing to worry about?

Just because they are a minor faction doesn't mean they are without friends, so no, doing so will be bad for your reputation. They are mercenaries, not just bandits -)

They are bandits in the lore

I have to agree executing lord and mercenary captains should be less punishable. Lets face it, we all have at least that one lord per playthrough thats being really really really annoying. Not, difficult or superior or anything like that just damn annoying. Like a fly buzzing around your head. Or in this case constantly praying on your villages and excaping from captivity with a speed of light.

Just fight them until that blow to the head become the final and they die... no standing penality...

Yes, I am aware of that option but it is so random. Some guys just wont die on field others dying like flys. I wish that we have more info on what condition must be met to perma kill a lord on battlefied. I noticed that headshot dosnt work. Which is kind of a bummer. I hoped that if a shot him with javelin or arrow in head as final blow it will kill them. However it seems not even two handed axe across middle of forehead dose not work eather. What can I say i been looking into that mechanics quite a bit and I am a bit dissapointed with a results.

My important and rare companions (ffs add more engineers please) than lords, ESPECIALLY after I just hired and kitted them out at tremendous cost to try to keep them alive.

Sure, I could just group them and leave them in the back but that's boring.

One more thing on the subject of executing lords and its conciquences. I understand that if you execute a lord/lady his/her's friends and family and faction will be very upset and angry. However i was very dissapointed when i realized that executing a lord bring only bad things and single good thing is... he/she is dead. I was hoping to see a bit more depths between clans realtionship.

For exemple if i execute a Vlandian lord there is no way that there some Khuzait lord would even know about it yeet along be angry at me. In another words He probbably would not give a ♥♥♥♥ that there some Vlandian lord got beheaded on the other side of the continent.

I also expected that we would have partnership between clans and shared members between a clans through the marrige. I also expected that there will be clans with blood feuds between them. So, executing a lord whos clan is in blood feaud with some other clan should RAISE reputation with that other clan instead of LOWERING it.

All leaders speak about honour even if they are scum. So if you are a scumback and execute someone, they cannot say "nice" officially.
