I have a question about 'Squire'(job background)

[wrinos]

Witch meaning is correct?
1. the principal landowner in a village or country
2. a male attendant especially on a great personage(or knight)

[willsama974]

In Battle Brothers it refers to 2.

I heard squires get an event from hedge knights in the company. Has anyone had it pop? Hasn't happened to me, even if I've a ton of knights and a few squires.

Indeed number 2, a trainee of sorts working for and learning from a higher social position, such as a knight, helping him with his chores. Of course this is a former background, since all these guys are now seriously concidering deadly mercenary work :)

If so, I am a bit confused.
Despite being a servant, it is a high maintenance cost like a noble or a knight.

He is medium tier and 'young knight in the training'

From what i remember they have the average T2 daily wage, like b*stards or retired soldiers, T3's go up in the 40-50

The background description is what you should look at for that.

Think of a squire as a apprentice that already has several years of experience toward becoming a knight. Squires were well equipped and trained as knights since childern, they just hadn't taken the final step yet.

Hmm ... you're right.
I thought he was almost the same as a servant of the lower classes.
However, I understood that he was training knight. haha :)

[wrinos]

Thank you for all guys.
Now, I have a rough understanding of the knight system.

Squires can make for very good hirelings if you can find one with good stats/stars and traits. They are cheaper to hire than more "professional" mercs but still start off with excellent combat stats due to their martial training as their role as a squire. They fall in between Militia and Sellsword, etc from my experience. The problem with them is that they seem to be extremely rare.

[Muscarine]

They're very good recruits btw, probably one of if not the best T2 background, granted i find they're rare so my sample is thin but i have never been disappointed by a Squire.
If you're ready to adapt to what you get, that is.

[Mr.Toad]

Squires are amazing, theyre essentially hedge knights that dont cost a fortune. Good martial ability, good resolve etc.

Im disappointed by virtually every hedge knight I hire but almost never with a squire and the base stats seem to be mroe or less the same.

I also heard they are great in bed!
