Rogress
Recruit
There are quite a few mercenary companies roaming Calradia and they can be hired as a temporary solution to your war problems. However, real mercenaries are/were always about the money/risk balance, and if they had a contract that was low risk and high reward they would obviously stick to it.
So why not make it possible for the player to hire mercenary instructors for a decent amount of money that would train low tier troops that are garrisoned in the castle/city. Just make this contract last for some predefined period of time and cost a fortune. To hire instructors you'll need to find someone from that mercenary band and negotiate a deal.
It would be all balanced around costs and it's a rather realistic and believable way of improving the quality of your troops.
