Freelancer








The Freelancer feature allows the player to enlist in a lord's army with the opportunity to gain experience and money. Follow your Lord where ever they go, fighting many enemies and gaining ranks as you continue as a single member of your Lords army. Each time you gain a rank you will be supplied with new equipment and gain a higher pay. Once you get bored with this career you can either desert or mutiny. While in your Lord's service you gain the respect of your fellow soldiers and there's always a chance that some of your acquaintances will become followers and join you in your revolution or desertion! As will prisoners, but will they work with you or against you?

Commander's report

In the Current Commander's Report you can see your current rank, the XP needed to the next promotion ( in this case none is neded, this meaning a new promotion will ocur on the next Pay/Promotion Day if all skill requirements for the next rank are met), and the current commander's army.






Promotion


Promotions begin with the lower rank of the respective faction and follow the Troop Tree of that faction.


TIP : By taking leave from the commander and transferring the equipment to a companion, all the items received with a new promotion will remain in player's possesion, else they will be replaced with the new tier/rank 's equipment.


The ranks are gained by participating in fights (and winning those fights) under a lord's command until the XP needed for the next rank is met. A lost fight does NOT mean all XP gained from the last promotion is lost, but leaving a lord to join another of the same faction results in losing the XP accumulated for that rank.Joining a lords army allows the player to gain relationship with both the faction and lord, as well as gain monetary strength and level up, making for an easier time once the player retires from duty. If the player chooses to desert, this effect can be destroyed, and all relationship with the faction and lord can be lost, if not turned negative.
