I think you might have to go and search for him - some of them are out and about with their troops fighting and such like. Missing a deadline for a mission never seemed to do me too much harm, though I did get a reputation with an enemy faction for running away! lol everytime I met this one faction in battle I'd get wiped out, so I'd leave a few good men to hold em off so my main contingent and myself could scarpper and regroup. I met another lord allied with the guy I kept retreating from and he knew me as 'the guy who kept running from the field of battle' haha

I enjoyed sacking and raising to the ground the peasant villages of my enemies... murdering everyone in sight and making off with all of their stuff

I tell you, there's a pillaging barbarian thug in all of us, just itching for the opportunity to spill the entrails of some poverty stricken dirt farmers

Well I ended up deleting that character and starting over. Reading this website helped me out alot; http://www.brighthub.com/video-games...les/20602.aspx

I'm currently a Sword/shield/spear character.

I have another question though. In my last career I was asked by a Lord to be a Mercenary for his faction. If I become a mercenary am I still able to become a vassal of said faction?
And whats the best way to get a mercenary army?

In answer to your question.... probably. I'm a mercenary for a lord; you get to be a vassal by being invited to swear allegiance, say if you've hunted a lot of bandits on his territory or protected caravans or attacked his enemies, I think - you get noticed. After that, you move up the social ladder either by force of arms, or by doing your lords bidding.
I think the only way to get a large army is to have enough experience points in your character sheet to command a larger number of men. Leadership or something it's called iirc.

Yes, you can become a lord after being a mercenary, I did it a few times

Where did you buy it from?

Whenever I seem to have a Lord as a prisoner, I can never seem to find a Random broker.

I just went from Mercenary Captain to a vassal.
For those of you new to the game, if you become a Mercenary Captain, make sure to collect you're fee's from the King every so often. I totally forgot I was supposed to get paid, until I ran into the king and noticed one of the options was to collect my wages.

IIRC if you keep him prisoner for a while, you'll get an offer from the faction to release him for a nice sum of money.

I had the King of Swadia or whatever that Kingdom is called for some time. Apparently nobody liked him at home, so he escaped. grrr

Managed only to get ransom for one noble so far. The others all managed to flee.
