All right, I'd be interested in knowing if anybody here has seen the following population types for indie provinces in-game:
- Vaettir: vaetti, wolf rider, moose riders + Chief
- Vaettir: vaetti wolf rider, moose riders + Chief, Vaetti Hag, Dwarven Smith
- Vaettir: vaetti, wolf rider, moose riders + Chief, Vaetti Hag, Svartalf
- Asmeg + Asmeg Jarl
- Trolls: Troll, War Troll, Troll Moose Knight + Troll King
- Tritons: Guard, Trooper, Knight + Lord
- Any kind of Mermen
If you have, sing out. I think I've seen the Triton poptype that includes triton knights (scarier even than shark knights), but I've never encountered the others. All of the above poptypes actually exist, but I'm not sure if they suffer from the same bug that crystal amazons previously did (and hence they would not appear), or if IW has consciously decided to not activate them or has made them so rare that you will almost never see them.
I think the troll kingdom poptype is inactive, because troll king at least has a 0 resource cost (150 gold, though) when it should be the same as war troll's 37 (same equipment). Asmeg are probably another inactive poptype, as are mermen (there is just one merman poptype afaik).
If these poptypes are all inactive (except the triton knights, which became active in patch 2.14, from what I've seen, I've seen them twice since 2.14, but never before), would the developers be kind enough to tell us when or if they will be made active and how rare they are supposed to be?
And if they're inactive because of a bug like the crystal amazons were, can we get them activated in the next patch?
