Army Battles in Adventure Mode
« on: July 21, 2014, 09:00:54 pm »

Is the way adventure mode loading character data/maps and the arena work close enough that we could just have any historical or current battles load up in the way the arena can accept custom layouts?

If this is possible it seems like lower hanging fruit to let us move armies of units in fast travel mode like we can move companions. I imagine max size could be could have something to do with our leadership skill

You and your companions are literally an army. The game does not distinguish between the two.

Max out your "Social Awareness" stat, complete one or two quests to spread your fame, then watch as you can recruit entire hoards of allies (at least that's how it worked in DF2012).  IIRC, you don't need the empathy stat either to do this.
