Getting old

[titanopteryx]

I have a weapon master on my team. He just got old and its lowering his stats. Is there a way to cure this? Is my other weaponmaster going to get old? Are my other mercs going to get old? Im about to start a new game since for me at least the early and mid game is more fun that the late game, so should I not hire any weapon masters next time?

Unfortunately there's nothing you can do to cure or prevent it, you can only hope it doesn't kick in for a long time/before you finish the game. A good sword master can still be competitive even after he shrivels up, though whether or not you think the high price is worthwhile is up to you.

It applies only to retired soldiers and swordmasters. Well, I'm not sure about retired soldiers. Definitely swordmasters but they're both classified as old so I'd reckon retired soldiers are also affected.

I have only had swordmasters getting old (or actually they only wanted to, savescummed my way out of this until i just kicked em :p)

My retired soldiers didnt want to yet and i really like using em.

Is there a good swordmaster event.? I would say the swornaster is not that balanced for his price, as in he is not worth the cost and only having a bad event. Maybe there is an apprentice event that pops with the swordmaster, but if there is no good event then there should no bad event.

I personally think events that penalize your brothers with stat decreases with no way to remove them or prevent them other than constantly reloading, should just be removed. I think if "Old" swordmaster event is in final release you could get negative reviews purely on that. So to me it's a no-brainer to remove it.

Thanks for the laugh mate, lol.

1. Swordmaster is the strongest background regarding melee skill and defense - each one can easily get over 100 melee skill if he hasnt really bad rolls

His only weaknesses are the low hp and the EXTREMELY low fatigue, so it kinda sucks if you dont get one with strong/iron lung or at least 2 stars in fatigue;

2. The swordmaster can actually train your guys if the wiki stays correct. Not completely sure tho for whom which training events are actually triggered - only know the archer training for sellsword and fatigue training with brawler for sure

The event can even be triggered, when he is only in the reserve (though the profiteer can also be in the reserve). He can also train an Adventurous Noble.

Swordmasters are useless post nerf. Don't bother with them.

Guess he means all the time as the other dude - but i bet he didnt read my explanation above :p

And i think we both wrote already about the "old" trait in another thread steven? I also hate it and would prefer to use it as a result of too many temporary injuries;
