I wish I could recruit them more easily though, and have access to cavalry since that's what I currently lack only having Barclays. And I cant fend off 2000 Fierdsvain with 120 men, Barclay or not. My poor village seems to be targeted by the realm's enemies Way too often though. After numerous victories (Curb stomping, those Barclay guys are like a buildozer force) I finally got offered vassalage under the king of Ravenstern after day 300 or so.

It cost me a heck a lot but it's so dam worth it. Then I had the random idea to only recruit Barclay mercenary, and suit up future companions in Barclay armor.

Suited myself in Barclay armor (dam those things are tough). I had a very slow start where I tried and install my dyeworks and tanneries across the realm, to have a steady base of income, then I had the luck of finding a Noldor shortsword sold by a weapon merchant in Marleon I think, made fights a whole lot easier, well worth the cost. It's really a pleasure going about in the world of Pendor.
