His Half-Cuirass is quite expensive, so early game you are better off taking his armor and letting him go with a replacement robe or. You can either keep them or release them after you've done robbing them. Now this may sound weird but some companions in m&b wfas have gear that is more expensive than their hiring price.ĭon't bother looking for them in fortresses, search in the cities. They have good weapons like the claymore & scottish broadsword and armor like the pikeman uniform.īe sure to carry enough ammo, or else you will be forced to pick up rounds off the musketeers or use melee, which won't be very effective against pikes and claymores.Īfter you have gained a starting capital of about 3-4k thaler, it is time to get some equipement. Scottish troops are very good for this, if they have musketeers, focus on them first with melee and then wear the others down with your ranged until they run and then kill them with melee. Quite tricky to take out, would not try these as they have beaten me more times than any bandit when i solo early game.Īlthough in low numbers and if you are in luck, with no bows they are fairly easy to kill with your pistol if you have a decent amount of skill in firing from horseback.ĭeserters: Depends on the type of troop, check m&b wfas wiki before you attack if you are unsure.ĭesired troops are infantry without a shield, and not too high armor which you can kite with your pistol. Tatar raiders: Mounted with bad armour and shields/bow&arrow. Just avoid riding right into a bandit/rebel aiming at you and take out the ranged bandits first. Looters: Low tier bandits with only bad melee weapons and dressed in rags.īrigands/Bandits/Rebels: Melee with bad armour and weapons but they do have a firearm, some dodging skills are required here.

Also keep in mind the timing of the fire coming from the others.įor lances, just stay out in front of them and use your pistol/bow. If they have ranged weapons, keep circling them and take out enemies at the edges of the pack who are reloading. Charging straight in on to enemies who have muskets/bows or lances is almost certainly a death sentence.Originally posted by Skullthug: Just a tip for the players who are starting out as a trader ctrl+space will make your journey so much faster.
