will they add new lord slot ? only 9 slots isnt enough

[Erica Estrelina Hill]

or ? any mod ? could let me recruit more marshal ?

Sorry i disagree . Key word OPTION i believe everyone should be able to play the way they want to in single play mod . An option is something you can use or not . So i and some others are asking for the option to have more marshals to play the game to each players still . I have 12 province so 3 have no governor , I don't care to win the game by any means just want to play . So i disagree 9 is not enough . No two people would design a game the same way so the more options in setting up a game to play , i think the more successful the game will be .

I agree, 9 is not enough. I hope they add more.

i think european prefer u to have vassel/colony rather than taking the land urself

[teofilp]

9 is enough, if you can manage it well :)

as Scotland, i have most of Germany Now under my control, my cardnel became Pope an hes still in my Court, an he declared on Germany and now my King is leading a crusade an taken all of the holy Roman empire territories, i have land in italy, Germany, france..and i keep getting more provinces by loyalty gaines, cause i have a another cleric going around doing culture runs. 9 slots is enuff, i have a diplomat as a Marshal when i got desperate, cause my king is off crusading, cant use him..think i have 5 marshals plus the diplomat an im doing Just fine an yeah you can hire mercs with left over funds, lots of them on the map. easily doable with 9 slots, just gotta micromanage better, an rng jesus hope your marshals dont fail when they do the province take over. ive failed a few times an rebels pop up, but usually easy to take out..im in like 3 wars atm..kinda sucks i failed a Emperor Take over, an Seluk's Declared on me after..too Far to do anything to them. Mopping up Germans Now, alot declaring on me now, luxemburg, lorraine, swabia..Germany itself is pretty much dead Ive taken most if not all his Main lands, still some near denmark, just took nuremburg. Bern, Milan etc, florence all Mine! Build that economy up first, few spots for Army depots an cities an Easy pickens now.

I had a similar situation, when my marshall was picked to lead a crusade against Germany (they had a lot of territories). All their land besides two provinces which were kind of "remote" were given to me. So it's a little hard to keep all this land with 9.
Maybe they should allow controlling the hired mercs? Right now they do as they see fit.

[Narwhals"oh mein gott Anhalte!]

im not haven trouble, granted its alot of fighting rebels an im still fighting 3 wars, but i havent lost any land yet..just gotta put your governers in the newly gotten gains an do some killing off of rebels an some building here an there, an your populace will start too love you then it doesnt matter cause they wont rebel anymore..just move your Marshals around too places that you think have a chance too rebel an ez pz, i have 5 marshals with my king included plus the diplomat, so still 5 since my king is off crusading taken German lands for me..i had this in the same game where i had a marshal leading a crusade but he was just a marshal so i never got the lands till this time..plus i wasnt pop then, now i am.

9 is plenty, if you have 9 provinces you are already probably a greater power and anything past that needs that %reduction or everyone else would never have a chance. Remember you can always hire merc armies so you don't need to keep a ton of marshals even when you are in large wars if you have a strong economy

I'd like to add to this and say that you should be able to, at least, give general orders to the mercs you hire like "focus on raid", "focus on assist". Most times they suicide into 2 armies or go randomly raiding when I need them to defend or attach to me.

9 is enough. Makes strategy choices more interesting mid-late game and reduces micromanagement.

Yes, it's always a certain gamble with them. Occasionally they manage to identify battles that need reinforcing, but most of the time they just raid pointlessly - and you don't even get any spoils from their raids.

That said, more knights is not just about "managing" militarily (as in, having more marshals), but also to have free slots for the other functions. The game has so many aspects and opportunities for clerics, diplomats, spies and merchants, but they remain underrepresented because marshals take up most of the slots.

I would like to hear from NORDIC on this point please .

What a silly response! No-one asked for a win-all button. Maybe 9 is enough for some players, but we all play differently and some players, would like a couple more, probably for larger kingdoms.

I hope THQ Nordic will tweak the game so we can choose what traits and Jobs The Royal Court get . Right now we are stuck with what the game assigns as the First Rulers job . I'm not sure how much control we have guiding the Heirs . Also when adding traits to your court be nice to have the full list to choose from . All in all i think the game is pretty good , give Nordic time to tweak things , and it took a few hours to learn the game and the more I play more I can figure thinks out .

You can educate every child diretly into diretion you want, and choose your starting ruler at gamestart options, which direction you want to start.
