- oxen are too stupid.
- spawns either way too easy or way too hard, no middle ground
- general bugginess of caravan system, either past or present
- more hassle than it's worth
- risk/reward ratio skewed
How's that?

I haven't done the new style caravans since coming back to COA, but I remember even on the old style ones the oxen AI being a pain in the backside. The stupid creatures are forever getting stuck on things, refusing to follow, refusing to transition, etc. If you can't have one person hang back with them, it's so much worse. Assigning oxen to each character is a good idea in principle because practically speaking, fighting with large stupid animals around you're supposed to protect should be hard. However, it's made a bad idea in practice because of the limitations of the game engine and the retardedness of oxen AI - it's just not worth it any more.

Believe it or not, that picture is my desktop background…. Legend of Five Rings card art is of fantastic quality in general, and that picture is one of my favourites.
