I'm making my confused face right now. I took some time adjusting myself to the new stuff - took me ages, for example, to work out how you hire new soldiers. Turned out I had ignored those soldiers standing in the tavern all along. I thought they were just NPCs who were going to give me the "Mind your manners within the city walls etc." - line. So due to the fact that it's almost a whole new game right now, I felt it best to clump my questions together in one thread rather than disperse them all over the several threads filled with the usual "Worship Amargan!"-jokes that were funny the first 10 times.
Mmmright. So, to begin with my biggest question: How do you ally yourself with the factions? Do you have to just stumble about the map until you're at a random point asked by a faction to join them? At the entire beginning of the game, several factions asked me in this fashion, but I turned them down as I preferred spending the early game just messing around, maiming bandits and river pirates. Do I get another chance to join the factions? How? When I enter a castle and speak to the local Lord, I can just ask him where people is and that sort of thing.
Secondly, what the hell is a "fief"? And how do I attain one, and what can I do with it? Am I right in guessing that you're given ownership of villages and stuff? Exacly what am I supposed to be doing with these villages? Can my village(s) be attacked? If I try defending them, will the resulting battle take place within the city itself? Can I attack other factions' properties? And if I do so; will I take control of them? Can a faction be eradicated from the map?
Thirdly, Where are the new heroes? I'm of the understanding that Marnid and Borcha is to be found randomly in various taverns all over the map?
Hmmm. Actually, that's more like ten questions, but hey, **** me.
That'll be all. I hope you partially understand why I didn't consult already existing thread with these questions. They were so many that I felt it more appropriate to dedicate an entire thread to my ignorance. I have looked at the changelist and so on, but I mostly found the changes listed in a note-by-note form without any real definition, to some degree.

That's all there is to it. I've only found Borcha so far, still looking for the rest of them (I want Ymira
