merchants don't have enough money so you can't sell what you raid/gain from battles or you have to travel entire map just to sell what you gain from a single battle

I don't consider it broken or unbalanced.. the merchants have enough money

yeah danish vikingr or rebel hideouts have much higher money regeneration speed so it's not a problem anymore but viking hideouts having more money than actual cities filled with merchants a bit odd me, not a major problem/inbalance tho

they sell slaves.. this is the most profitable business.. that's why they have more money

Traders really don't have enought money, I'm traveling from city to city just to sell loot after one battle.
Norse T2->T3 upgrade cost 1310p but T3->T4 cost just 890p.
Norse T2 wage is same as T4.
Veteran, Saxon noble, Angle noble, Briton noble, Frisian venteran, Highwayman have worse shoes comparedd to their lower tier.

1. the fact that you clean up the battlefield by taking all the equipment that can be taken from enemies does not oblige merchants to have more money.. leave the loot to your warriors.. this one will speed up their upgrade
2. because norse companions have more equipment
3. it from vanilla.. i didn't touch the shoes

Norse T2 got bugged and its level 29 now, I was even able to increse their stats like companions throught menu

I've started a new game and it happened again, norse T2 leveled up like companions into level 17.

Check their stats throught conversation there you will see that you can increas their stats manualy like companions.
I'm playing several other VC modules but Dark Age is only one where I've experience it.

it's been handled.. loot converted into experience is dripping down the wrong path
i'll test and fix it

Ok so I was a mercenary for Laigin against Laithlind. Did some raiding, slaving and stealing cattle during my contract. Now the contract ended and my relations with Laithlind dropped from -81 to -31, still hostile. Is this a holdover from the original VC? This makes being a mercenary a huge pain in the ass to get the negative relations up to neutral again.

Armputation
I have not changed this mechanics.. but in my opinion it is logical

Obergruppenführer Smith
fixed.. thanks for the bug report
unfortunately, I don't have time to play and test

@ha3431
I disagree that it is logical, but have fixed with WarBender, thanks for replying.

raiding, slaving and stealing cattle are sufficient reasons to spoil relations with some representatives of the faction

@ha3431
Thanks for the fix, I've also found out that briton spearman is missing side arms, they only have spear.
Could you also fix the shoes of those units that I've mentioned earlier? It's making especialy noble horsmen weaker.
