[1.01] bug Torch Bearer

Flaming ax weapon doesn't show up in the weapons category which made it confusing to replace the weapon by purchasing something else at the shop. If the idea is not to be able to sell the weapon, I think it would be better to show it and not allow it to be sold. If someone tries to sell it then a popup can come up saying this can't be done.

With henchmen, there is a difference between equipment they are given and the equipment they come with. This happens in other places of the game as well, such as when an enemy sovereign comes under your control(in this case, it happens with enchantments).

You can't sell the ax you trained him with, but you can give him a better weapon to use. Tha ax will hide itself, and will requip if you take the new weapon (the one you gave him to use instead) off of him. You didnt make the ax to sell, you made it for him to use. There is no exploit to take advantage of here, when it comes to selling the ax.

It's his personal ax to use, he won't give it to you.

However, you can take advantage of this to give him extra accessory bonuses so go to town on it.

The problem I had is not so much about selling the weapon and more about the confusion of being able to buy a weapon for the torch bearer. With the weapon not showing, I could not tell if this was an option.

Your right, it could be more clear.

hmm, i don't like this behaviour at all.

What's the problem with being able to sell things anyway? sell prices are so low it'd be practically worthless, and you DID pay the labour cost to make those weapons in the first place. More valuable weapons take a higher labour cost to produce.

Are you saying you can exploit this to equip 8 accessories on a henchman? that would be pretty overpowered.

As if henchmen weren't broken enough already

get access to the decalon books and teach those henchmen REAL magic.

Since the game uses custom factions when you random your games (or you could always pick them on purpose) you can stack your game a bit by planning on allies with useful equipment to buy - assuming of course they don't die out - darwin's law and all.
