Companions are unique characters that can be customized by the player and sent on tasks.

Companions can be assigned to:

  1. Complete quests, given that they satisfy the skill requirements. They will leave for a period of days until the quest is completed, troops may also be required.
  2. Lead caravans, which will travel on the campaign map gaining income for the clan with their trade skill.
  3. Lead war parties, and they cost no influence when you ask them to join your army.
  4. Govern settlements, applying any "Governor" perks. Note if their culture does not match the settlement there is a loyalty penalty (can be negated with the right perks).
  5. "Diplomacy". Leaving a party member in a castle or town increases your relations with the owner (potentially notables in the town as well) over time.

Recruitment[]

Companions can be recruited at major towns in the tavern. All companions have an occupation of Wanderer. To find all available companions in the game you open the in-game encyclopedia, go to Heroes, and then filter on the Wanderer occupation. From there, you can also see each companion's skill levels before recruiting them.

Stats[]

  • Companions with starting levels 8/12/16/etc. are bugged and have 1 less attribute point than other companions
  • Attribute points may slightly & rarely vary
  • "Major" skills (10+) included the spreadsheet below are defined in spspecialcharacters.xml & sandboxcore_skill_sets.xml files
  • "Minor" skills (0 in the spreadsheet) actually have small random bonuses (+0-9) in the game
  • A total of starting focus points is equal to level+4

  • Starting focus points are distributed semi-randomly one by one based on which skill "needs" them the most (i.e. in the current iteration has the highest skill_value - learning limit score where learning_limit = (att-1)*10+skill_focus*30). The exact distribution is distorted by the randomness of "minor" skills and slightly varies from hero to hero. Usually you can expect the following distribution of focus points based on starting skills and attribute points (heroes with larger number of total skill points/level are more specialized in their major skills, while heroes with small number of skill points per level are likely to waste 2-3 of their skill points on random "minor" skills):

Companions[]

Every character has a name followed by a suffix, such as "Vasinya the Accursed", or "Mina the Black". The suffix determines the companion's starting skills.

Below is a complete list of suffixes and their starting values.
