Any way to increase the number of companions.

Hey all, I understand you can get about 5 companions without a fief. As I mostly play without a fief it limits me a lot, and I was wondering if there is a way to tweak the number of companions that a mercenary can have? Even if there is a gamey tactic for this, I am all ears.

Easy. Just recruit all the companions you can get, then join a lord's army in a city, and you're free to recruit more. Once you leave service, your old companions(and possibly other soldiers) will rejoin your party. Voila! Another thing I've seen, is that if you recruit the top-most trainer companion, you can sometimes recruit the bottom one too.

Thank you for this! Works like a charm.
