Sad this mod is lost :(
Oblivion 25 Jun, 2020 @ 7:59pm 
this mod was last updated in 2016 and is almost completely broken...
Cerchow 25 Jun, 2020 @ 10:18am 
PLS, somebody explain me. why i can`t choose any country for Mercenary King?
Conquistador 7 Jun, 2020 @ 3:46pm 
Yep, this is a classic CK2 mod. Anyone who updates it would be greatly appreciated.
A Little bit of Horseradish 24 Mar, 2020 @ 8:46pm 
someone could try to use Rise to Power to revive this mod a bit
nsao 15 Mar, 2020 @ 3:34pm 
I hope someone updates this
Mars2025 6 Mar, 2020 @ 1:09pm 
If someone who knows something about modding could upgrade this, you would be a hero.
SomeDudeOntheInternet 23 Feb, 2020 @ 11:54am 
Should I try to update this myself?
LAismyCity 28 Jan, 2020 @ 1:12pm 
Man this could be an excellent roleplay addition, hope it gets an update, I would enjoy a mamluk game
WaKKO151 3 Jan, 2020 @ 2:42am

This fucks up feudal reformation
Nolazc 1 Sep, 2019 @ 3:07pm 
could you add military orders as the teutonic?
Oblivion 9 Jun, 2019 @ 4:33pm 
Its broken, unupdated and un supported @post
Mudhorn 9 Jun, 2019 @ 3:32pm 
Does it work with multiplayer?
TigerWave01 10 May, 2019 @ 2:16pm 
@ARADPLAUG If you did integrate it into your mod, would you be able to go landless instead of having to stay in the court of another ruler?
Oblivion 9 May, 2019 @ 4:19pm 
@ARADPLAUG hes not gonna respond to you here.
best chance would be if u commentd on his profile, where he granted the last person who asked permission.
ARADPLAUG 8 May, 2019 @ 10:50pm 
Hey man would you mind if I integrated your mod into mine (Play As A Courtier)? Many thanks
TigerWave01 4 May, 2019 @ 5:13pm 
Oh my bad I thought you meant this mod, not Landless Adventurer. Yea you're right you get a titular duchy and the ability to spawn troops via event in certain areas (Constantinople, Paris, and Baghdad). The landless mechanics in that mod (and the Landless Courts and Kings, for that matter) are really well thought out and work so well, especially for a mod that literally breaks the rule about being landless. Ik the mod developer of Landless Courts and Kings said he wanted to be able to make becoming a mercenary and forming your own company an option in his mod, which would be cool and something that could possibly be done looking at the mechanics of an updated version of this mod
Oblivion 28 Apr, 2019 @ 6:22pm 
no, you dont. you can build one, but you start out landless.
you get a TITULAR duchy and county.
TigerWave01 27 Apr, 2019 @ 8:28pm 
Nah I think you have a barony or something
Oblivion 26 Apr, 2019 @ 3:13pm 
you start out landless though?
TigerWave01 26 Apr, 2019 @ 1:18pm 
If this mod is ever updated, it'd be cool to pair it with the Landless Adventurer mod so you can go landless and become a true mercenary
Cafecito.Con.Miel 13 Apr, 2019 @ 4:33pm 
I can update it, maybe
Szpejminator 3000 27 Mar, 2019 @ 11:39am 
R.I.P :(
joedaniels-101 22 Mar, 2019 @ 10:24pm 
We need this to work again.
joedaniels-101 22 Mar, 2019 @ 10:24pm 
Hey man... resurrect this shit. NOW!!!
★Jaw★ 19 Feb, 2019 @ 5:32am 
Ahhh, miss this mod. RIP
Osariusz 5 Feb, 2019 @ 11:03pm 
Update?
Chudriel 21 Jan, 2019 @ 4:23am 
All these guys reporting bugs and saying how much they love it but the mod hasn't been updated in almost 3 years. I don't think hes gonna read it guys
Unnamed_Shadow 1 Jan, 2019 @ 3:45pm 
shame this mod is dead.

With Holy Fury, this mod could get an insane overhaul even allowing Holy Orders to be playable.
Oblivion 24 Dec, 2018 @ 7:40pm 
You join wars on your own @Fr1Kz™

But as @satayagraha said, the crashes by selected your flag are unbearbale.
For anyone reading this this mod hasn't been updated for 2 years, and so it is safe to say it is dead. Used to be a very good mod, R.I.P
Frikz 21 Dec, 2018 @ 5:17pm 
I have no idea on how to use this mod. What am I supposed to do? Wait until someone hires me or what?
satayagraha 1 Dec, 2018 @ 4:01pm 
Excellent mod so far.

However:

1) The game crashes when pressing the title flag in the top left corner by the character portrait.

2) Perhaps it is too easy to acquire a holding? If you are allowed to borrow the money from jewish merchants you can purchase a barony right from the start, and that takes the challenge out of it, I think. You might want to raise the necessary cost significantly and/or introduce another requirement, such as being allowed by the county holder to buy it.

3) When unlanded, most councillors can't be assigned missions. Obviously you need land for your steward to harvest taxes or to oversee contruction work. But otherwise, it would be great if there was some place to put your assigned councillors.

Please keep up the good work. It is a much needed and very enjoyable mod.

Can You Make It So That When You Hire More Troops They Become Part Of Your Standing Army?
Turbo Waifu 7 Sep, 2018 @ 6:21am 
@Joxemik do you realize that noone cares? and btw do you even know what a tercio is?
Joxemik 19 Aug, 2018 @ 4:00am 
The title img ilustrates a Spanish Tercio, not mercenaries. Try it again.
Dr. Quackers M.D. 18 Aug, 2018 @ 8:48pm 
I have the Landless lords mod can i start a merc band as Landless lord if I get this mod to?
@Callien always subscribe to mods with CK2 launcher running
Doc Mac 11 Jun, 2018 @ 8:29pm 
How hard would it be to tweak some of the bands? To change things about troops or succession.
For example, the Pictish Host's troop numbers don't scale super well as time goes on.
Also, would it be possible to make other playable bands use the Elective succession system the Pictish Host uses, rather than Open Elective? Or even changing the gender succession laws?
Calien 7 Jun, 2018 @ 5:57pm 
how do i get this? I cant get it from steam it doesnt show up on my mod folder
VladiSSius 16 Apr, 2018 @ 6:29am 
I wanna play as Griffith.
EpyonComet 10 Apr, 2018 @ 4:37pm 
Just did one solo, and I did get some gold, and I THINK my prestige increased despite not showing up in the results screen, so I think the answer to my question is "yes?"
EpyonComet 10 Apr, 2018 @ 4:26pm 
Is there a benefit to fighting in sieges? I notice the results screen doesn't show any prestige gain, and so far the money gain seems to always be zero.
