dude can you change the armour of your volunteers from your faction? and how do i loan my mnoey and stuff i wana make tons of money, and how do i get a castle, do they not vote for someone like they did in warband or do i have to go off and get it myself?

man i want to know the answer to this question... someone can do the favor?

[Canthuris]

you can only change armour of your mercenary soldiers that you can buy at any of the 5 mercenery camps on the map.
but you have to be careful because it could get very expensive.

and if you need money, you can attack enemy villages or sale stuff that you can take from battles. and it is really important that you have to look that you have not too many soldiers, because some of them are really expensive. 
but after a while, when you play te story line for an empire, you can get castles and villages, and weekly taxes from your fiefs.

If one has started one of the storylines, is it possible to abandon that and join a faction as one would normally?

[jackx]

The storylines require you to leave "their" faction and join others anyways, so yes, that works, however, it won't end the storyline... the only way to go back into completely "normal" play once you've started a storyline comes towards the end of hte Polish storyline.

OK here is a question to the more experienced:

I am playing with the polish, i was even a merc for them. During this time i also recruited Colonel Zagloba and the 'The Deluge' quest started. ONce my merc contract expired (after 3 months i didn't extend it in good hope that the King will grant me becoming a vassal. But nothing happened. Currently i have high relations with the Polish republuc aswell as with the king but i can't become a vassal.

Somewhere it is said you can't become a vassal if you have an active storyline. Is that true?

If that is so, what must i do to become a vassal of the polish nation?

You can be vassal of any faction without starting story line. Just make good amount of renown and vassalage offers will come to your screen then accept whichever you want.

I have a similar problem. While I have been a mercenary for them Chmelnyzkyj gave me the task to defend a village after a larger battle. I noticed to late that this starts the cossack-storyline (Black Mace). So I didn't do it but can't get rid of the quest. It would be no problem. But now my mercenary contract has expired and I didn't want to renew it because the Cossacks were at peace with everyone. Now it seems that I can't join any faction after leaving them. Any ideas? Any help?

Finish the quest, or, restart the game - I've encountered a much worse scenario, won the rebellion on the Black Mace quest, then seized the city, lost all my progress due to a insane bug within the game...

[RC-1136]

Thanks.
But that´s obvious. If I would have wanted to restart or finish the quest I wouldn't have asked for help.

Is there no other way?

You can always 'start' your own faction

Since i couldn't join a faction a finishing my quests was out of the question - had to capture Warsaw which was to strongly fortified i went freelancer. I took over a swedish fort that then served as my base of operation. An army of swedish reiters can capture almost any city
