I like to keep it simple so i will join the swedish reiter group. Just keep a full army of them an you should be fine - in the offense attacking other armies & towns aswell as at defence protecting the wall.

But i do admit that i don't use mercs cause it seems that they are far more expensive for upkeep. Somebody please enlighten me on this.

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

Well i have a fortress and i am getting automatically new units - no need to buy them manually and neither do i see a commander anywhere.

Not completely sure but i think you need some buildings for automatic recruitment. So i guess its buildings + commanders.
Somebody correct me if i'm wrong.

Armory: Adds some low-tier units to the garrison every week. Requires monthly maintenance cost.
Barracks: Adds some high-tier units to the garrison every week. Requires monthly maintenance cost.

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?
