Any mod where I can enlist rather than command?

[Gunþisalbo]

I played the game a considerable amount of time pirated, but now I bought it and I already had fun with some mods like Warhammer, but I have come to the conclusion that is I suck at it.
So, is there any mod where I can enlist in an army and fight other people's wars?

You actually can do that with war hammer, unless freelancer was removed from it recently.

But yes, there's a mod called freelancer, which many big mods have, where you can become a peon in a guys army and as you rank up you get to decide what unit you become, get paid weekly, and get free gear of the unit.

I know gekokujo used to have it, but I heard lots of mods are removing it in new updates because it limits how much they can mod the game or something like that.

Found a cheap way to level up fast in Warhammer. Go become a soldier for a dwarf army, stay with him until you level up to a sharpshooter or whatever it's called that has a 7 barrel rifle. Then abandon the army, and go fight trolls by the dwarf and goblins area with the rifle, each troll gives you 1000 exp.

Or, check out last days of the third age. Lord of the rings mod, its the mod that changes the base game the most. You can't start sieges, and you gotta wait til the war of the ring launches before the wars start. All the seiges happen when the faction leaders are ready, and late game its epic af.

So you want to follow another lord around in his army? Do I get that right? I think I did that once in floris mod but I might be wrong because its been a while. It was boring, though.

It's not worth it bro. Most of the time you're sitting around like an idiot chasing bandits, then you get thrashed by some other lord and you're stuck running back to your original general. It especially sucks as a lowly infantryman.

Floris allows that.
I spent about 130 days in a specific Lord's army and once I retired, my relationship with him shot up by 40 points. He had a "cunning" personality too.

There is a basic mod called Freelancer, which is usually a part of way bigger mods like Floris, Clash of Kings, Last days of the Third Age, etc.

It allows you to enlist in existing lord armies as a soldier like the ones you recruit normally. You get a weekly pay and basic gear but you can upgrade it and bring your own in battle but most importantly you can get promoted (again kinda like you can promote your groups but it does far more for you than it does for them)

It's an interesting way to play the game although you'll do almost nothing but fighting, and in a lot of cases, fight on foot during field battles which is .... an aquired taste as far as I'm concerned.

I don't remember it being in Last Days of the Third Age

Freelancer is in 1257 AD, Gekokujo, Floris, and Clash of Kings IIRC. As other posters have said though, it's kinda painful because the lord AI in this game is meandering and in combat you usually get outperformed by other units if you don't have a horse (which you often don't). Basically you're taking everything annoying about wartime AI in Warband and applying it to even more decisions in your game. Sounds interesting in theory but it gets stupid fast.

I use it only in the beginning of a game, some sort of my own Story, than I do what ever I want. I play it Roleplaying like, I set a goal for my self, it dont need to be always to be a complete Takeover.

For Example^^
Once played a butter addict, who wanted to steal all Butter from Swadia and interrupting all festivals from King Harlaus.
