- A guide for completing the Challenge Accepted and Mercenary Captain achievements (done at the same time for the fun of it)
ALWAYS hire any previously unhired mercenaries whenever you clear a bandit camp, as waiting too long and not hiring them may lead to them being removed from your mercenary pool and leaving the final battle to be impossible.
If you are having issues with winning the final battle due to a lack of mercenaries, the following video will have a guide on how to cheese the final fight. • Manor lords mercenary ...

how do you have so many mercenary, I have a limit of 3 only...
soo as some merc units are absolute garbage and some are good. I'm trying to figure out how to keep them into the merc pool. So the first year or 2 you'r building up wealth and with some luck you can get in some treasury to hire mercs and get bandit camps.
in order for a good merc unit NOT to leave the pool, i have to HIRE them after the bandit camp, as the baron hired units, and me hired units and the units that didn't get hired will be removed from the pool? i can't get a definition of this i'm afraid. could you explain in detail?
How can you have all three mercenary companies late game?
I can never get more than two companies after the first year of the game.
I believe that mercenaries leave your pool whenever the AI hires them to clear bandit camps, but that is just a theory. What I did was I made sure to hire as many as I could in the early game, and once all regions were conquered he wouldn't hire any more mercenaries.
Very good tips! I will try it in my next game.
Great job, could you add the order for the build to the description?
will do!
Why after 3 years (in game) i can buy only one mercernery army and its shit coz its only archers, month after month its telling me "there is no mercenery to buy"... :( im stuck
Over time mercenaries will leave you pool of potential hires, typically leaving the 2 archer company. In order to avoid this you need to keep them hired for as long as possible.
@@plooperss4947 yes but in order to refill troops in mercenery army i have to disband them and hire them again. After i disband them, they never shows up again...
@@Beh0m0th I havent run into this issue myself, but I have another video up on how to cheese the final fight (and all other fights) if you dont have enough troops to win the battle normally
@@plooperss4947 got it ;) my mistake was not using them to fight the bandit camps. Last battle was hard but i use the trick with river ;) thanks Bro
@@Beh0m0th always happy to help
Achievements are not working on the beta branch.
But you can switch back to the normal version for the last battle. Than you get it.
how you have that much of pay solders , i only have 3 and one of them is tourches solders :D
Love the video, thought its really hard to real all the text when its all across the screen, could you just add your text almost like subtitles next time, love the content!!
I tried so hard to get these two achievments but always had bad luck with the randomness of the mercinaries. I always get 1x brigant , double bowmen squad and squad with only 1x swordsmen and light bowmen... its impossible too get these achievments with that.
Is there a way to get squads like yours for example the 3 swordsmen squad?
As time goes on in a run the mercenary pool will lose mercenaries, and the only way to get different ones is to restart. If you dont want to lose the run i have another video on how to cheese the fights
Big changes on trade with the new patch make this trophy way harder
How do you get mercenaries that died to replenish their numbers? I’m not talking about completely wiped but rather having lets say 25/36, how do you get them back to full strenght? Disband and rehire? Also did you settle any of the other regions or you just did this with 1 settlement? Thanks man great video, made it look really easy, also thanks for the good simple battlefield strategies that will help me a lot.
For the mercenaries that died I disbanded them and rehired them the next month, and I did it with the one region as the mercenaries will only cost a set amount and once I achieve that in monthly income there is no reason to expand. Thanks for watching!
What difficulty did you do this on? Great tips thank you, im looking forward to getting this achievement and loving the game !
I did this on challenging difficulty!
Could you explain how to keep the mercenary ? do i have to pay them once and they will always be in my pool ?
From my experience yes, once you hire them the first time they remain in your pool.
i can never get more then 7 mercs to show up in the pool and its always the same three groups, am i doing something wrong?
You may need to restart the run, because from my understanding as time goes on mercenaries will leave your recruitment pool if you don't hire them atleast once. I am going to look into an exploit to make the final battle easier, ill respond again if it works or not.
How to get more mercenaries group, my game play is currently at mid- late game. But there just only 1 availble group
Once the mercenaries leave your pool, you cannot hare them for the rest of the playthrough. Are you trying to get the mercenary captain achievement?
@@plooperss4947 nah, I just want to fill my army
I’m at the final battle it’s so hard i just keep getting wrecked and the one time i killed them reinforcements arrived ☠️
How many mercenaries do you have? and typically reinforcements come after 60 days, so it may be a good idea to focus on speed. also if the game does not say "battle started", once you kill all the AI units the ai will wait 60 days and send another stack, as the victory condition for the region is the 90 day claim timer instead of just winning the battle.
New video is up which shows how to cheese the final fight. th-cam.com/video/a4Papg9urPA/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for adding the order. Unfortunately my game I can't get anymore mercenaries. Seems to be a bug. I get the alert there a new mercenary for hire but the selection is blank. Occurred before the AI claimed the last territory so I had no way to fight.
Either I will need the cheese method or a new save me thinks... unless I could focus on retinue. Anyone know if that would forfeit the trophy?
same i had only 2 i think the ai take them late in the game anyway i mange to win by letting the ai run after me around the map and i send 1 unit to win point and win without fight You can do this as long as he does not enter the circle to start the battle,
@@Yeti122 This doesn't work for the last battle I presume ?
@@vikas08bon its work " thats how i win
great, what is your start scenario??
Did you watch the fucking video? GEEZ!
How do I stop the mercenary pool running out?
Hire them quickly, once you hire them once they dont leave your pool.
@@plooperss4947 So do I understand correctly that if I hire them as quickly as possible and then fire them, I won't lose them even if they all die ?
I find it really really hard to do these two achievements together... I'm almost wondering if that's even possible 😀It's still much easier to make a mercenary captain on the easiest difficulty
@@DurhilCZ mercenary captain is 100 percent easier on the easiest difficulty, I just did it on the hardest one out of spite. If all the units in a mercenary company die they will no longer be able to be hired from my understanding, but if they retreat they may be able to (hasnt happened to me yet). The biggest challenge of doing both at the same time is getting enough money early enough to grab bandit camps before the AI takes the whole map. once you get bandit camps, it is usually enough money to get the ball rolling on contesting and taking land.
Dope!
can I use my retinue and still get mercenary captain achievement? also, at what point can i no longer hire mercenaries? because in regular play i know they are just no longer available...
To be honest I do not know if you can use retinue, as I forgot to test it when I got the achievement. Also I believe that once you hire a mercenary once they no longer leave your pool.
@@plooperss4947 they do leave...I played regular game and I was hiring mercenaries as well...but at one point mercenaries were no longer available...none of them...
