(English) "Safe" combinations of companions

The info in this guide have been taken from http://mountandblade.wikia.com

I made this guide just to have this info at hand without minimizing the game; enjoy if you didn't know about companion's conflicts.

In Warband there are up to sixteen heroes which can be recruited to fight by your side. However, some of them do not get along that well; some of their personalities conflict.

But don't panic, up to eight heroes can be recruited without conflicts; we could say that there are two "loops of conflict", one with two "five heroes" branches and other with two "three heroes" branches, and you can combine any group of five with any other of three:

Groups of five:

A) Artimenner, Borcha, Matheld, Lezalit and Rolf.
B) Bunduk, Deshavi, Klethi, Jeremus and Ymira.

Groups of three:

C) Alayen, Baheshtur and Firentis.
D) Katrin, Marnid and Nizar.

As said before, you can use A+C, A+D, B+C or B+D without conflicts, because most of those combinations enjoy being together.

Clear water and easy laughs in your travels!

EDIT (26/11/2014):

added the "dislike" list of emissaries, thanks to chi.blood6.
(Every companion dislikes a particular hero being an emissary)

Alayen dislikes Baheshtur as emissary
Artimenner dislikes Katrin as emissary
Baheshtur dislikes Ymira as emissary
Borcha dislikes Alayen as emissary
Bunduk dislikes Nizar as emissary
Deshavi dislikes Bunduk as emissary
Firentis dislikes Rolf as emissary
Jeremus dislikes Klethi as emissary
Katrin dislikes Lezalit as emissary
Klethi dislikes Marnid as emissary
Lezalit dislikes Borcha as emissary
Marnid dislikes Matheld as emissary
Matheld dislikes Firentis as emissary
Nizar dislikes Jeremus as emissary
Rolf dislikes Artimenner as emissary
Ymira dislikes Deshavi as emissary

Bear in mind that this "dislike" list doesn't affect to your "safe combinations", since this won't make any of your companions to leave the group, where combining conflicting people could.

EDIT (26/06/2016):

In response to VirazolKaine , "companions who don't like pillaging villages" added

Some heroes may get angry and even leave the group in certain situations; hunger, not being paid or having heavy casualties are just some of them.

To me it's not really important specifying wich ones dislikes these, because those are things you should avoid anyway, BUT there are some that hate robbing villages, and this is important, because if you plan to play this role, these heroes will most probably leave your group. Bear in mind these heroes if you plan to raid villages:

Companions who DON'T LIKE Robbing Villages:

Bunduk, Jeremus, Ymira, Firentis & Marnid

(Español) Combinaciones "seguras" de compañeros

La información de esta guía ha sido extraída de http://mountandblade.wikia.com

He hecho esta guía solo para tener a mano esta información sin tener que minimizar el juego; disfrútala si no tenías ni idea sobre los conflictos entre compañeros.

En Warband hay hasta dieciséis héroes que pueden reclutarse para luchar a tu lado. Sin embargo, algunos de ellos no se llevan bien; sus personalidades “chocan”.

Pero no te alarmes, hasta ocho de ellos pueden reclutarse sin que haya conflictos; podríamos decir que hay dos “cadenas de conflicto”, una con dos ramas de cinco héroes y otra con dos ramas de tres héroes, y puedes combinar de forma segura cualquier grupo de cinco con otro grupo de tres:

Grupos de cinco:

A) Artimenner, Borcha, Matheld, Lezalit y Rolf.
B) Bunduk, Deshavi, Klethi, Jeremus e Ymira.

Grupos de tres:

C) Alayen, Baheshtur y Firentis.
D) Katrin, Marnid y Nizar.

Como dije antes, puedes usar A+C, A+D, B+C o B+D sin conflictos, porque la mayoría de esas combinaciones disfrutan estando juntos.

¡Agua clara y risa fácil en vuestros viajes!

EDIT (26/11/2014):

Añadida lista de “antipatía” para emisarios, gracias a chi.blood6.
(A cada compañero le molesta que un héroe concreto actúe como emisario)

A Alayen no le gusta Baheshtur como emisario
A Artimenner no le gusta Katrin como emisario
A Baheshtur no le gusta Ymira como emisario
A Borcha no le gusta Alayen como emisario
A Bunduk no le gusta Nizar como emisario
A Deshavi no le gusta Bunduk como emisario
A Firentis no le gusta Rolf como emisario
A Jeremus no le gusta Klethi como emisario
A Katrin no le gusta Lezalit como emisario
A Klethi no le gusta Marnid como emisario
A Lezalit no le gusta Borcha como emisario
A Marnid no le gusta Matheld como emisario
A Matheld no le gusta Firentis como emisario
A Nizar no le gusta Jeremus como emisario
A Rolf no le gusta Artimenner como emisario
A Ymira no le gusta Deshavi como emisario

Ten en cuenta que esta lista de “antipatía” no afecta a la lista de “combinaciones seguras” de compañeros, ya que esto no hará que ningún héroe abandone tu grupo, mientras que combinar gente con conflictos podría hacerlo.

END EDIT.

EDIT (26/04/2015):

En respuesta a Mr. Dutch, añadida lista de “combinaciones seguras” de compañeros para Viking Conquest.

Esta información ha sido recogida de varias fuentes en internet; por favor, ten presente que puede no ser precisa.

Grupos de cinco:

A) Agathinos, Caio, Reginhard, Ailchu y Donnchadh.
B) Ceawlin, Dwywei, Beda, Asbjorn y Brunhild.

Grupos de tres:

C) Clovis, Morgant y Bodo.
D) Solveig, Egil y Helgi.

Disfrutadla.

END EDIT.

EDIT (26/06/2016):

En respuesta a VirazolKaine , añadidos "compañeros a lo que no les gusta "asaltar poblados".

Algunos heroes pueden enfadarse e incluso abandonar el grupo en ciertas situaciones: pasar hambre, no pagarles o sufrir bajas importantes son solo algunas de ellas.

Para mí no es realmente importante especificar a quienes les disgustan estas, porque esas son circunstancias que deberías evitar en cuaquier caso, PERO hay algunos que odian asaltar poblados, y esto es importante porque si planeas jugar este rol, estos heroes muy probablemente dejarán tu grupo. Tened en cuenta estos heroes si planeais atacar poblados:

Compañeros a los que NO LES GUSTA saquear poblados:

Bunduk, Jeremus, Ymira, Firentis & Marnid

[Walsingham]

Easy to understand. AND it improved my Spanish.

[blaue beere]

anyone knows a guide about the new companions in native redux?

[Inforg]

Good shit

[Zesty the Hermit]

So I am a bit confused and well to be clear with anyone reading, anoyed on the subject that I don't under stand Whom will all be peachy with one another While also not careing about raiding villages and Holy temples.

[Speed demon]

Could you add which of the characters are royals?

[Xan]

I made a separate guide for Crusader - Deus Vult based on this guide: https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/502626719/1708438376923822969/

[Stevepunk]

Group A seems like the best (B has a few of the annoying ones that don't like attacking villages but A has none).
A also has 3 that can be used as emissaries without issue and a few nobles that you can safely assign to fiefs.
Came here because of Bunduk; he's a good fighter with a 2H sword but will still be glad to see him go..

[Wendersnaven]

Thanks again for the guide!

For Viking Conquest I have found that groups are only compatible as A+D and B+C if you're maximizing companions. (I like to put them on the front line full of missile weapons to obliterate enemy charges.) The ADs are the scoundrels, and the BCs are the happy friendly types for purposes of actions and consequences.

[Khabal the Nifelheimnian]

I can confirm, and everybody else; as said, I gathered this info from several websites, and of course, my personal exp. A & B do not well eachother, and so C & D, so A+C, A+D, B+c & B+D are safe.

Nevertheless, doing emissary missions is affected by other calculations, but doing only that shouldn't make any hero to leave your company. There are combinations, bigger ones, that allow you to use more heroes, but you'll have conflicts and thus the moral-game becomes a must, but with these groups you won't have any conflict at all (they all are either neutral or love someone in those groups)

[DaveDunno]

Been a while since I played so I'm starting a new game and this is such a handy easy to follow reference. Thanks!
