What are mercenaries used for in Manor Lords?
Because war is also an integral part of the experience Manor Lords, you must quickly master the basics of how battles and armies work. But while founding an army worthy of the name requires an enormous amount of resources, both human and material, there is an alternative, or at least a shortcut offered by the mercenary system. Thus, it is possible to recruit mercenaries who will take the form of fully equipped units. So let's see here how this particular recruitment system works.
There are no real specific prerequisites to meet before recruiting mercenaries in Manor Lords, but be aware that such a contract requires money, this time in the form of treasury, that is, the money that your lord has. If you don't know how to get cash, we invite you to consult our guide dedicated to this question.
To recruit mercenaries, you must go to the “army” menu of the interface (shortcut normally assigned to the “v” key). Once in this menu, select the “create new units” option. You then have the choice to create different types of units with your resources and the inhabitants of your land, but you will instead choose the “hire mercenaries” option on the far right.
And this is where a new menu opens, where you will have the choice to select the troop of mercenaries that suits you best. This type of store is renewed periodically. So, as you can see in the screenshot above, we only had one troop available. But it is indeed possible to have several choices.
Once your choice is made, all you have to do is validate. The mercenaries will then join your lands from a previously indicated territory, and you can then use them like any other regiment in your army.. Please note once again that you will not have to equip your mercenaries, but that you will have to pay an amount each month which may vary depending on the prestige of the troop you have hired. What's more, be aware that you will only be able to hire one troop of mercenaries at a time. But you can terminate your contract as soon as you feel like it and your needs change.
