i also want to vote for separate patch for this fix,
freelancer is a cool idea, but being a independent mercenary have more fun factor, as freelancer is in its early stages and there is not much content in it yet.
mostly because it is boring to wait for the lord to get in real fights, maybe if instead of a single lord we could enlist to the whole faction,
then we could ask if we could get transfered to another lord if we wanted to, the lord would respond differently according to what he was doing, if he was on a campaign, defending lands or scouting for an enemy he would say no, but if he was resting his castle or other non fighting stuff he would say yes..
you would have to specify witch lord you would want to join, and if your current lord was on bad terms with the lord you wanted to be transfered too he would also say no, or maybe a lose a relationship point.
got another idea too, if you have a high rank and/or a good relationship with your lord, you could get a temporary control of a patrol unit, but only if this lord was resting in a town/castle he owned. this would get you something too do while waiting for a new campaign,
the soldiers of this patrol unit should be from the town/castle garrison. and the number of units you get would be affected by the town garrison and your lords renown.
also for for not making this feature unbalanced/too easy there would be some limits...
these soldiers is loyal to your lord, so who/what you can attack would be limited.
And so you cant move around the whole map like some mercenary you need to report back to your lord every couple of days.
hmm maybe this should have been postet in the freelancer forum but anyways give me my villagers back
It's not the most fun way to play but at least you can afford to campaign on a large scale. I'm glad to hear that the team is working on a fix for this. Hopefully it will be here soon!
