What is a mercenary exactly in this game?

[Daniel]

I have receive a letter from someone in the Empire, they want my beutiful body work for her and they ask me if i want to become a mercenary for the kingdom...,

I have wanted to say yes, after i have wanted to say no, but in thinking i view i don't know what to do because i don't know all the implication all this can ask to you,

i have trying to look in the help of the game, nothing..., trying to look on the forum, they have more post but no one write the thing i want to know, what is the obligation you are forced to made if you accept?,

on the forum some say you are not forced to make anything, you can continue to make your live but you are pay by example if you kill the parasite they walk on her land, such as thief, but other say too you will be the slave of a king, you become the ennemy of her ennemy, and other say it's work such as if you have already a fief with her, and you need to join her army for war, other say the kingdom can offer you a fief or more and after you need to serve this lord always...,

it's make too much thing they are not clear...,
1 - If i become a mercenary, can i continue to live in peace with any other?,
2 - Can i be able to continue to trade with anyone even if this kingdom become in war with this or that nation?,
3 - If they offer truly a fief, it's want to be i become slave of this king, can i refuse?,
4 - if i become a mercenary, can i continue to make what i want when i want in peace with other?,
5 - can i be a mercenary they only clear the land from bad parasite thief?

I can become a mercenary, but only if they pay me if i kill parasite thief or other stupid form of life they make bad thing to other, and it's all...,

if i need to watch my back because if they go in war with other i become ennemy too of the other nation, i don't want this,

if they give me a fief, i will become her slave and i don't want this, because it's want to say the other they want to attack the empire will have me in her target, and i don't want this,

i need to know all the thing the game don't explain on this side, to be able to take a decision they work with my playstyle...

1 - No. You will be at war with who they are at war with. However, you will not lose reputation permanently with those you fight. That will be reset when you are no longer a mercenary for your faction.

2 - No.

3 - You won't be awarded any fiefs as a Mercenary.

4 - If your faction that you Merc for is at peace with them, you can do all the normal "peaceful" things with them.

5 - If I interpret you correctly, yes, you can just run around attacking bandits. But, the primary reason for becoming a Mercenary is to be able to get loot from large battles you could not participate in otherwise.

ok, thank's, so my andswer will be no, i can not be a merchand and buy factory in a city and if the empire make war with her i lost all my building,

and i cannot be a mercenary if i play a trader when we are in peace and because have nothing to do they decide to declar war on the contry i have some caraven, again i will lost all instantly...,

so, the mercenary it's not for me, i have thinking we can choose what we want to do but it's seem no, so the empire will not have my beautiful body in her army they fight for her, if i mush dye in combat, it's will be for me or my wife (If i can find one somewhere ha ha ha) but never for or because of the money...

Mercenaries receive influence via the usual methods when under service to a kingdom. IE via combat, assisting lords, participating in sieges, heck even winning tournaments.

Where it differs is that influence is converted directly into sums of gold at regular intervals. That's your main income as a mercenary.

interesting fact on my current game i'm playing when i became a merc even when we were at war with the faction that i had workshops in there cities, they wereshops were not taken away after a join a faction and a vassal then thy dissapear once i went to war,

could be my mods but it appears for me at least being a Merc does not inpact your workshops!

and i had caravans traveling around during war time there pretty fast so they are not the easiest to catch

1 - If you become a mercenary, then your employer's enemies will be your enemies
2 - Not until you become a vassal and get your fief from where you can send caravans
3 - The fief is already offered to a vassal, not a mercenary - this is an increase in status and the opportunity to participate in decision-making.
4 - Almost everything. Except attacking other peaceful lords. This is the privilege of vassals and kings.
5 - you can be a mercenary and recruit one and a half hundred good warriors, but you can keep them without a fief only by constant battles with enemies and the sale of slaves and property captured in battle
