Are companions viable combat troops?

Modded with reasonable cap removal and hired troops to fill in the gaps, but i want the core of the army to be unique, like in MB1. Is it possible or is more like a gimmick?

This might seem a bit weird but i'm deciding between this game and Tactics Ogre: Reborn. thx.

Companions are as good as their skills and equipment allow them to be. If you're thinking they're going to be super soldiers and defeat whole formations on their own, probably not.

Yes they can become very powerful with the equipment and levels, but they're still ai and just one soldier.

No. Companions are not comparable to e.g. Warband. They are just not going to provide a significant part of your fighting power.

Its possible with mods but very tedious. I started off with an only companion army but after about 100 or so leveling them up becomes a pain in the butt. At this point in my game my companions can each get 20+ kills on there own, but keep in mind I am playing heavily modded so all unique npcs get buffs.

Thanks guys. Dam, this is a difficult choice. But buffed companions sounds like an awesome idea! Didn't think about it.

Yeah, currently doing this, have like 78 companions plus wife. I am using an outdated mod from nexus that lets me generate companions. It still works, but I sometimes have a crash. It can get more expensive then regular troops both in monthly costs or buying gear. Also, TOR is a good remake, I have the switch version so I can't comment on the pc version.

This is similar to how I start out the game, just using only companions and family. I never use the glaives though because that it too easy. And I get a master smith to craft all my legendary weapons.
