A few entrepreneurial ventures in some select cities can usually do the trick if looting and pillaging isn’t your thing. In my experience with vanilla Warband, the mercenary pay you get covers around 20-40% of your upkeep, and you have to make up the difference elsewhere. By setting lords free, you gain trust with them, once it reaches close to 100, you should start hiring them after you capture them - do this by setting them free, and there will be an option to make them swear fealty to you.Įdit: btw, you are playing the standard game, right? I’d recommend Prophesy of Pendor as an awesome alternative, but its pretty hard as well. Its hard, but awesome fun to build your own army.
Remember, location is key here- taking an out of the way fort is good, preferably in a location that is hard to get to for as many factions as possible. Next up, defend against the 1200-1500 men that will come to destroy you every few weeks! Go rebel - REally really hard to do, but leave any kingdom you work for, capture a town or a castle, and take it for your own. Be aware you will no longer be paid, but get a village with your title. Swear fealty to a kingdom - Do the above as well, but now you may actually get a town or a keep for your actions. Also, be aware that once you have rescued the prisoner, if the lord is defeated again, the quest will be cancelled and you cannot collect your reward.Now, you can do a few things - Keep building your army as a mercenary, capture lords and set them free again for NO ransom, which gives you honor and reputation with them. This can only be fixed by shutting down and reopening the game.
Sometimes, you may encounter a bug where the prisoner lord become hostile to you, which makes it impossible to complete the quest. However, you will receive a fair relationship boost with the freed prisoner and a significant boost with the quest giver in addition to 1500-2000 denars and 2000-4000 experience points. Oddly enough, whatever your method in completing the quest, neither your relationship with the lord of the castle, nor that of the faction he represents will be harmed. It is necessary to fight the guards (convincing a nearby village with a bribe of up to 300 denars to fake a fire drastically reduces the number of guards). You can bribe the prison guard 100 denars to be allowed entry to the prison, but this does not help much as the guard keeps the key to the lord's chains (probably designed for the Deliver message to prisoner lord quest). Unfortunately, the ransom option does not appear to work in this situation. Relation +1 (Accept) Relation +8 (Complete)Ī lord will beseech you to recover one their family members from a prison in an opposing castle or town.
