Survival of the Noble

TBH I don't think it would change a lot even if you knew exactly how most of those features work.

Here I will give you a good example: Let's say we got a fight between a world class player and a total newbie - and here I will name a few factors that will most likely decide the winner - dedication, a bit of luck (catch the enemy of guard or while sleeping - while this is not entirely based on luck, the most part of it still is), and of course - the person with more troops will have a massive advantage, support from the tribe, Morale... while factors like: general knowledge of the game, excellent knowledge regarding game features, etc. rarely impact the outcome of the war.

While this is basically true, If the world class player has more troops/support they will have a 100% win rate.
If the total newbie has more troops i would only estimate win rate at 50% - 75%

I have been nobling villages in my account on Bastille using cavalry with no problems.

I've sent nobles with no faith against level 20 walls with only 40 LC/HC as escorts and they survive without any problem.

I sent one attack of 50ax+50lc+1noble. 50 axes died, 13 lc also also died and noble dead. Maybe it was the random factor then... Since that would never happen in TW1 and I didn't know of the random factor at the time, I assumed it had to do with the new battle system with its minibattles and since the noble is said to be of the same type of axes, he would get killed if no infantry troops escorted him.
Good to know. I was avoiding to sending nobles that way ever since.
