The dislike chart would seem to suggest the following combinations are possible without any dislikes and that it's possible to mix and match the tops with the bottoms without any dislikes.


[[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.]]

The dislike chart would seem to suggest the following combinations are possible without any dislikes and that it's possible to mix and match the tops with the bottoms without any dislikes.

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 3 from the top circle and 5 from the bottom circle that are not touching.

It is possible to keep two people who dislike each other and not have them leave. Balance the dislike out with someone they like and keep morale high.

Some forum posts seem to suggest that it's possible to even keep all 16 if one manages morale. Keep the morale around 80-99, don't lose, and keep them stuffed with food. Do not rob villages. Raid caravans only when Marnid isn't around.

There is an idea of having two 8 members companions. One traveling for a battle, when the other is healing in castle.

It is possible to have a 10 heroes party with everyone getting 1 "like" and 1 "dislike" or none of each, so it should be easier to maintain them all in the party:

Alayen, Artimenner, Baheshtur, Borcha, Bunduk, Katrin, Matheld, Nizar, Rolf, Ymira.
