Manor Lords militia on a field

What are you preparing for?

Your next move

Check households and equipment first

  2. Check that the required arms and any shields or armour exist in the region.
  3. Rally only when ready: household workers who join militia leave their normal jobs.
QUICK ANSWER

Can I afford mercenaries in Manor Lords?

Check the company currently offered in the Army panel, its monthly Treasury cost and how many months you need it. Keep money for Royal Tax or a Settlers Camp before hiring. Militia and retinue have separate readiness checks if you do not need a contract.

What to check after the fix

Confirm the company is still available, its price matches the panel and your Treasury can cover later monthly payments.
