SP - Player, NPCs & Troops Adding life to Companions

[hbugata515]

Adding life to Companions :
Companions in the game are more or less used by the player himself. Which is capped by the clan tier. So, mostly a hand full of companion NPCs will be engaged in the world. And most of the others will be roaming around from castle to castle and competing in tournaments.

And Moreover the minor clans a are lacking female characters. Which makes them more vulnerable to perish. If there could be a way that NPC Companions are able to join other factions there will a steady influx in these minor clans as well.

Could we expect extra life into these companions in future updates? And make them live on the map rather than in taverns & arenas.

i agree there should be more life in the companions.

This indeed is something nice.

Companions should also be able to run street gangs, lead caravans, lead small parties, become steward or even hero's in parties of lord's.

Which paths they choose should depend on there stats.
High roguery -> street gangs
High trading -> leading caravan, owning a workshop
High leadership -> leading party
High fighting skills -> be hero in lord's party

The party/faction they join is depending on there culture/backstory.

New ways of recruitment of these companions can then also be implemented.
After defeating a party with a hero, possibility to recruit him.
Buying a workshop with companion
Helping out the caravan of a companion from bandit attacks (should be some kind of event on the world map)
Hiring a party of a companion into your clan.
Etc...
