Courtiers, traders, infiltrators

(1/3) > >>

MTYL:
Why are there so few courtiers, traders and infiltrators? Are those classes for one reason or another useless? Does this alleged uselessness apply only to some continents or to all of them? Is it possible to become courtier/trader and get filthy rich? Is that playstyle, like, uhm, possible?

Also, side question - can nobles buy (and use) scrolls from adventurers? Does spellcasting and adventuring do anything for a noble?

Attano:
Courtiers traders and infiltrators have (some) different mechanics and my not appeal to all players. They also have h/p requirements.

For example, infiltrators are literally assassins and saboteurs. You need 40 Honor to become one and will never get h/p while they have this class. If an infiltrator is spotted, they lose h/p, lose enough and the enemy judge doesn't need to ban you to execute you.

Traders need to pay their units more because of the automatic mercenary designation.

Courtiers fill the role of, essentially, politicians. While they do not have access to Diplomat political options, they can improve realm control and use police type soldiers to capture insurrectionists. However, police units perform very bad in combat.

The adventuring skill is only useful (or even used) by adventurers. Nobles can (and usually do) buy and use scrolls from them, as (apart from an IG event while a lord) this is their only way of obtaining them.

Hope this helps.

There used to be more of other classes. But now that we no longer have over 1000 characters, you just don't see as many. Also some classes were changed like Trader for example mainly due to changes in how food trading works. So traders are not as needed anymore since bankers can do most food related stuff.

Courtiers, even in the golden days, were mainly for people who couldn't stay active or paid attention some other islands. These days most people are engaged in wars so you just don't see as many. Courtiers can't lead any sizable unit so it is a huge disadvantage to be a courtier when your realm needs a warrior.

Well,all of these classes aren't as good at battles as the warrior.On certain continents that are constantly warring,u rarely see any courtiers,traders or infiltrators.

JDodger:
Traders get increased trade range and that is it so you will often see people switch back and forth.

You need to work hard as a courtier and probably drop some decent gold to be any better than a full unit doing civil.

Diplomats same thing except they are a lot cooler for being able to directly target loyalty.

Infils same thing except stabby and can get killed
