I should be making something wrong
I get my first "batch" of kids. 4 of them, and on day 1 I put them as Guards, under Cassius. Skill i07, Parangon of war, 41 years old, no, he is not in bondage, in jail or as a follower at the end of day. After 36 days I checked, thinking that they would be close enough to 40 skill in Melee/ranged to grab a rifle and put some armor on and go with Daddy to make some easy bounties. But, to my surprise, they are weapon skill 13 and 3 of them are Disc 10
There are some cap or big penalties for the kids in their 1st year? There are some influence in the number of soldiers assigned at the captain (I have been keeping roughly a dozen of them during this period)?. Any other Idea?
