I cannot recomend this one. Previous games of the saga were wonderful but this one is dull,repetitive little to no story, and boring. I hope if theres another book it will be what it was again.

Got my character to become King and though Gareth III remained the heir due to his royal blood, I was able to use the Diplomacy route to convince him to marry into the MCās family.
Fun game overall though I do wish there was more story and character interactions.
Man we have life of a mercenary , swamp castle , great tournament 1 and 2 all of them absolute gems but thisā¦ this is just so underwhelmingā¦no plot , little to no replay value , tedious management for very little story , little to no meaningful interactions with side charactersā¦this is just badā¦

I agree with you on this. And for what i had seen in my playthroughs, ROās donāt exists in this game. You canāt marry, have children, itās just raise troops and upgrade things, and win votes for you or the king heir. I need to point out another thing. Itās the same story again, even the same villain, Gensa, the Spymaster, i remember him from Swamp Castle, so the ending is almost delivered at the beginning of the game. No depth of anything here : ( , Swamp Castle ended when things are getting cool. Great Tournament is amazing in his story, with good ROās. But his sequel, not like the first one. Life of Mercenary is like Swamp Castle, but a BIT longer, and ends when things are getting good.
I wish its possible to build your own dynasty, annex lands and build a empire, raise your family, son. Fortunately thereās already a game who did that out there, but iām not going to point that here, would be unpolite to do it.
Too bad this one is hollow and lacks on depth, and ROās, story, characters.

Yeah, well said man, and donāt forget, no ROās too, for what i have seen until now : /
Hollow and lack of depth storytelling/character development.

Okay iāve played it for a while now and I made it to the 12 season?/month? And ā¦ I like how u can build troops make armies, go to wars, and all I also like the begining of the story but In the middle of the gameplay I kinda started to fall out of it because of the repetition, ive raised decent amount of armies and gold but all I kept encountering in my rule was that ā¦ Grimswood? A faction or a seperate village I think keeps on raiding my village and charging my castle, it happened many times and wondered whats gonna happen now? Maybe its just me but I kinda find it lacking, or maybe I havent reached the supposed threshold yet to unlock a certain circumstances, all in all its good but it lacks something ā¦ And i dunno what it is haha
Well first of all I was very hyped for this game considering itās a prequel to two of the best Hosted games out thereā¦ big fan of Swamp Castle and Great Tournamentā¦Also the life of a mercenaryā¦
I have played them both of the sequels so I know the mechanics of how the story will proceedā¦but itās disappointingā¦The prologue was great but then when you dive into the main story it seemed ehā¦there were bits here and there but until the unification partā¦ thereās nothing worth doing thereā¦ character interactions are so limited tooā¦and a lot of repetition was exhausting as hellā¦The management part was exhausting and the combat system is like the other ones so no issue there but the game lacks in the storyā¦ thatās the biggest drawback and a downerā¦
I am wondering if there is any way to kill Kasper or uncover his plot to assassinate Cuthvell. I was spying on him after some point and learnt about his meetings with lady Cuthvell which were quite suspicious so once Cuthvell was assassinated I was sure those 2 had something to do with it.
