Ruha’s Command skill applies to “non-Heavy Armor” and I don’t know if Knight and Fortified are separate and distinct from “Zwaar” of niet.

Even if I thought I knew, Natuurlijk, I have no idea whether it’s coded the way they wrote it.

Algemeen advies

To recruit an NPC you need a relationship status of [20] Vriendelijk, or better.

• This gives you Command Skill Level 1.
• [50] Dutiful gives you Command 2.
• [100] Reverent gives Command 3.

Start your game by adding the most convenient NPCs to your party, without respect to their abilities or Command buffs.

• When you enter a town, ask “What can I do for you” of the NPC’s in the Tavern.
• You can save before doing so and reload until you get a quest you like. (“Save scumming.”)
• The quest may be enough to make them friendly; if not, give a Gift.
• Recruit them once they are Friendly.
• Tell them to leave when you find someone better
• Take their equipment before expelling them! (Unless you are leading a faction and they are one of your leaders.)

Dan, play the game as normal using your random NPC’s

• Accumulate Gifts in your inventory
• You can occasionally buy Gifts (Fleur sells flower bouquets, Bijvoorbeeld)
• Take Charisma talents

Natuurlijk, you should upgrade your NPCs for ones with better abilities/utility waar mogelijk, Maar with respect to the NPCs with Command Skills:

When you see one of the NPC’s you really want (an end-game Character) in a Tavern, give them a Gift and ask if they have a quest for you.

• This allows you to increase their friendliness rating as high as possible before recruiting them. Getting to 50 can be quite hard if you start at 20 but getting to 100 can be impossible due to time constraints.
• The Charisma talents really only help you if the character is NOT in your party (“In the wild”).
• Once the character is in your party you will always get 2 points for (standaard) Gifts and you can only give a gift every few days.
• Dus, to raise your relationship 50 points would take 25 gifts and 100+ dagen!
• I believe Charisma does boost gains from random Party events, but you have no control over those.

Once you have the NPC you want at [50] (of hoger) (of 46 of 48, lol), Recruit them.

• Immediately go into their dialogue menu and choose “Bevel vaardigheid”, they will raise it to 2 for you.

OPMERKINGEN

Once you have the Command Skill at 2 [50] of 3 [100] it will not be lost if the relationship status falls.

If you have NPC’s that you are recruiting because of their Skill Trees (rather than their Command), hire them as soon as possible!

You want full control over their Skill Points and skill trees. (Or else you will be wishing for more Wisdom crystals, which you get by going to the Libraries once a month.)

Wanneer de “Party Event” pops up on the bottom right, be sure to save before opening it. This gives you the option to save scum to achieve the best results.

• If all results are bad, you can just hit X and close/skip the event, it will go away with no effect.
• –Typisch, being honest achieves the best result; blame the person who is at fault or you will lose the respect of everyone else. (Not always, Natuurlijk, this is just a general rule.)

If you REALLY want to cheat during a Party Event, you can go to a town, save carefully, view the results, reload the save, Dan kick out everyone in the party who has a negative response.

After resolving the event, go to the Tavern and Recruit them again!

• You can ignore the happiness of anyone already at Command 3.

Not Everyone is Created Equally

The list is very incomplete*, but it should give you an idea about what you are looking for in a good Character with respect to their Skill Trees (as opposed to Command).

* And is very wrong that Threnody doesn’t have enough active abilities!

I might also mention that “Heal an ally” is mostly useless (regardless of whether they earned a (*) rating or not) — don’t bother with Healing unless it’s AoE.

The most character heals and self-heals are inconsequential, zoals 150 + 1.5x Physical Attack for ONE CHARACTER. Better to let a character die and revive while spamming attacks than waste time healing 5% of their HP.

In het algemeen, avoid minor or modest Skill Tree buffs and heals that are not passive and take time (and Mana!) in de strijd. In het algemeen.

With respect to unit healing:

• White Rose healing (Aoe) = great
• Nasir healing (targeted) = waste of a squad slot

The one situation in which you benefit from Nasir-style targeted healing is if your Squad is composed of armies with few units, such as Rams and Ballistas and Special creatures.
