They somehow managed to mess up joining a faction as a mercenary. ClassicCan confirm, the contract never expires and breaking it incurs the same penalties as breaking vassalage.
i have the same problem broThis needs to be fixed asap, it's ruining my game.
I can't rejoin the faction I was a mercenary with before, because I can't get relations above -10.
OOOOH very nice. Thank you for your service.I made a mod to fix this myself: https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?threads/mercenary-contract-expiration-mod.405799/
You can load the aforementioned mod, wait for the contract to run out (max 30 days) then stop including the mod. Very convenient, used it myselfJust joined Western Empire as mercenary cuz thinking that it will expire peacefully. As a Vlandian, I'm not planning to serve the empire but just trying to build some renown. Was planning to join Southern Empire after Western but sounds like I'll have to break relations with Western Empire.. Sad..
