The game has grown on my girl and we still happily continuing to play on. KoDP is quite nice game to play together btw. As I have played it so much I let her do the most decisions and give advice when she asks. Few things have came up that I can't recall from the days I used to play. Message database of this group or the FAQ's on the net didn't bring out any answers either. So here's a few Qs for you lot. Again David probably knows the best (if he still remembers :-) It's been a looong time since this game came out isn't it:), but experiences of others would be appriciated as well.
I even did some testing. About a dozen times I sent a trader and set a ludicrous highest offer around 400 cows and goods. Every time ended up paying the whole ammount. So I guess this a feature. Kind of annoying feature I must say. Would be nice to set the absolute maximum ammount we'd be willing to pay and then have the trader actually bargaining...
2. When sending out an emmissary on a diplomatic mission the game suggests a leader based on bargaining skill. Yet in the manual custom is said to be the primary skill for the emissaries. But how is it in the _actual game play_? Should I concentrate on nobles with high custom or high bargaining?
Then we also have the leadership skill that helps in situations when you need to persuade others. So just how should one choose a trader or an emissary?
Perhaps look skills in this oder??
Trader: Bargaining, Leadership, Custom
Emissary: Custom, Leadership, Bargaining
Of course it helps if the noble is on the ring and Issaries worshipper etc. but now considering just the skills...
Thanks in advance,
