Is hiring mercenaries to faction worth it ?
In my experience they just leave after a short period of time ! Do you have to give them things, or have a good relationship with them to keep hold of them ?

No. They will left after some time (even if u have money to pay them). You will spent 10 days to track and speak with their leader only to realise they left your faction before you reach your town again.

I just keep them locked up until there's a declaration of peace and all captured lords and ladies are released.

They are good if you are lucky and meet them while you need an extra 100 men in your army... Else you just can't trust them to stay.
I would say, a simple way to fix this would be to create a contract that binds them for some time and then they can roam free again or stay with you longer... But in a way that gives the player some reliability. And fix the way they are recruited. Running after the clan leader is just awful.

They leave if they run out of influence. They gain influence if they win fights. If they can't find enough fights, boost their influence to keep them.
They are very worth it, it's an additional clan that fights for you but does not vote in kingdom decisions.

haha yeh it confused me at first. you have to find the leader of the mercenary clan and ask him. you have to own your own kingdom though. ive only just figured out how to get vassals.

Difference between you and the AI factions.... They got a instant hotline to hire mercs. You on the other hand need to track down their clan leader to hire them.

I find mercs good at disrupt the enemy, they prone to do a lot more raiding than your regular vassals are. (If you been somewhat picky about what traits common in the clan of your vassals).
