[[ | [[Image:MB_Companions.gif|frame|Each companion dislikes the companions on either side of them (Example: Borcha dislikes Deshavi and Klethi). If you wish to maximize your number of companions, you can choose 2-3 from the top circle and 4-5 from the bottom circle that are not touching.]] | ||
In Mount&Blade you are not the only hero. When exploring the [[Mount&Blade/Towns#Tavern|taverns]] of Calradia you will come across some named people who are willing to join your cause, for a price of course. Their locations are random and will change from time to time, so check taverns regularly until you find all of them. You can also pay a Traveler to tell you the location of any companion (30 denars per name). | In Mount&Blade you are not the only hero.

Certain skills will contribute to the party as a whole; others are personal or leader only (useless in a Companion). When a Companion's health falls to 33% or below the name will be shown in red text and any of their skills that were aiding the party will not work until they heal above 33%. Those with healing abilities should be kept at the bottom of the party list to ensure that they see less battle and therefore are less likely to be wounded too badly to heal others. | ||
Looting is the only party skill whose base attribute is [[ | Looting is the only party skill whose base attribute is [[Agility]] ([[Klethi]] is the member best suited for looting as her Agility can be raised the quickest). | ||

All other party skills are [[ | All other party skills are [[Intelligence]]-based. It is possible to maintain extremely high intelligence party skills with only two companions by only raising their intelligence attributes and putting most of their available skill points into party skills (e.g. teach [[Ymira]] [[First-Aid]], [[Wound Treatment]], and [[Surgery]], teach [[Borcha]] [[Spotting]], [[Tracking]], and [[Path-Finding]] and give each of them either [[Engineering]] or [[Tactics]]. Every three levels will give the companions six skill points to upgrade four party skills with two left-over to upgrade personal skill. It goes without saying that those two members will be poor soldiers and should be well-protected at the bottom of the party list. They will also gain the bulk of their experience through training and quest completion. | ||

To customize a Companion's abilities when they level up, open the party screen ({{kbd|P}}) and talk to the hero you want to upgrade, then choose "Tell me about yourself", and you will see that Companion's character window. To customize their equipment do the same but choose "Let me see your equipment", and you will see the inventory. Just as with your own character, Companions can only use equipment if they meet its minimum requirements. | To customize a Companion's abilities when they level up, open the party screen ({{kbd|P}}) and talk to the hero you want to upgrade, then choose "Tell me about yourself", and you will see that Companion's character window.

Pillaging villages is a very lucrative business. Sadly some companions object to this practice, forcing you to either pillage in moderation or build a party without the heroes Bunduk, Firentis, Jeremus, Ymira and Marnid. | Pillaging villages is a very lucrative business.

If you make your own kingdom you can also give your companions fiefs to make them vassals. This can be a blessing early in the game because you have allies to help you fight large armies. However, if you plan to make allies you have to be careful about who you give fiefs to. | If you make your own kingdom you can also give your companions fiefs to make them vassals. This can be a blessing early in the game because you have allies to help you fight large armies. However, if you plan to make allies you have to be careful about who you give fiefs to. Some companions are "Low Class," and giving them towns, castles, and villages may anger other lords (-2 to -5 penalty). Once lords, the faction of the troop they recruit depends on their own faction. | ||
