There's Distinguished Service mod which adds promotions from generic troop to a companion. You can exploit to get your companions back if you have a fief; go to the town/castle manager and add a companion as governor, they'll teleport to the keep and you can take them into the party, repeat for each missing companion. We can hope they do more, but no plans have been shared. As for the wanderers, they've been mostly the same since EA and what changes have come, it's really unclear if they were even intentional a there's been a lot of goofy stuff over the year. 1.6.3 beta makes them have better attributes and FP, matching thier skills, which is an improvement, but overall it's kinda crappy IMO and many player Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord peaked at almost 180,000 players a few hours ago. Having 180,000 people definitely sounds like a party to us. While you obviously won’t have that many units running In Mount & Blade 2, your HP is the same as everyone, king or beggar. That's why having a shield is the best insurance plan a noble can have back in the day and one-handed weapons allow such safety . We don't recommend picking more than two melee weapon proficiencies unless you want to be a medieval commando. If your companions are equipped with 1h/shield/crossbow, go for reach. Balanced Elite Scimitar is the best swing-only weapon with 103 reach and 35 damage. Balanced Long Arming Sword 105 reach, 36 damage and Balanced Heavy Bastard Sword 105 reach, 34 damage (when used 1-handed) are both pretty good too but the AI will try to stab with them 89 votes, 20 comments. true. Wait until you can craft 100k+ items before leveling characters you care about (hire companions you don't care about and use up their stamina and level your smithers to learn the right unlocks). For the heroes featured in Mount&Blade: With Fire & Sword, see Heroes (With Fire & Sword). Heroes or companions are unique troops with individual names, stories, skills, attributes and equipment (all of which can be chosen by you). Like the player character, heroes never die and are only knocked unconscious. You can never station them in garrisons. Originally posted by Tuidjy: The objectively best companion group to keep in your party at all times is: - Alayan, Firentis, Bunduk (heavy cavalry) - Deshavi, Baheshtur (horse archers) - Ymira (strategist: tactics, engineering; training) - Jeremus (medic: surgery, wound treatment, first aid; training) .
