Has anyone else thought of this? (Theory on bandits)
« on: November 20, 2010, 12:25:28 am »

Bandits:
Warlords are solitary competent opponents in a group of mostly losers ambushing prey

You:
A solitary competent fighter surrounded by losers who ambush prey

I think "bandits" are other adventurers that we are hired to kill.  They kill such and such at behest of Civ1 which pisses off your Civ2.  Civ2 hires you to kill them.  This pisses of Civ1 and they hire bandits to ambush you to avenge the original bandits.  Bandits are our fellow men at arms and we are slaughtering them.  We should be finding a truce and uniting forces against the night creatures and the bogeymen, not senselessly killing each other.

I believe they are a by product of the Dwarven economy. Those that can not afford rent get's kicked out.

Give cats natural metallic armor and throw them in your danger room.  Also allow their mouth and tail to grasp (shield in mouth, weapon in tail xD)  Have a cat based military.  You know, do the same with all tame animals xD send in the cats as shock troops to disrupt the archers

Um. They're bandits... That simply means pretty much the same thing as robbers, outlaws, whatever. :P
You could be a bandit too, if you wanted! They just mightn't take too kindly to competition...

When the caravan arc is in an advanced stage of development, we can have fun being bandits...

Well, some PC adventurer's are much worse than bandits (mass slaughtering villages anyone?), so I guess that bandits are heroes hired to stop the murdeous outlaw we represent.

You don't want my adventurers as bandits, the world would end in a day.

A commodity appears at first sight an extremely obvious, trivial thing. But its analysis brings out that it is a very strange thing, abounding in metaphysical subtleties and theological niceties.

Life exsists to be slaughtered by my axe. Who cares if they're adventurers too or not?

My adventurer was just ambushed by some bandits in fact.
They killed off my last remaining comrade.
They burned.
Alive.
How I love bandits, they give me legit reasons to kill them as painfully as possible.

Isn't there some bug(?) that an outsider adventurer can recruit members of bandit camps?   Could be more likely than we think.


But yea, I'm still gunna slaughter them for their shinies.

I not sure, but I think if you ambush skill is high enough you can sneak yourself into a conversation with an enemy, so maybe it's possible.
