Every time anything bad happens to your faction, your controversy can increase quite rapidly. In Warband, controversy can make your time as marshall very brief. Just talk to any of them, the option to start or end a campaign is the first one on the list. You can also use any heroes you have in your party to start or end a campaign in Warband. Let us assemble the army here." This will send out a message to all the vassals with instruction to meet you at that location. If you wish to head a military campaign in Warband, talk to any vassal or companion and tell them "I want to start a new campaign. To cancel orders, tell the lord "I won't need you for some time. To give orders to your fellow lords (including the monarch), just speak with them and select "I have a new task for you." A list of orders will then be shown.

You will also have full authority over your allies in battle, so you may instruct their troops just as you would your own. However, it is not possible to call a campaign.Ī marshall's army attacks player-owned Sargothīeing the marshall gives you the power to give orders and organize military campaigns. In With Fire & Sword, if the player is in one of the storyline quests, depending on the quest, even if the player is not the marshall, he/she will be able to give orders to lords of the same faction. Once the marshall's army has besieged an enemy fortification, the campaign will generally end and you can go back to your own business. These will supersede the instructions to follow him until you have completed them. The marshall may give you some other missions. You can automatically follow the marshall by right-clicking (or pressing square on PlayStation and X on Xbox) him and selecting 'accompany'. If you do not return quickly, you will fail the quest and irritate the marshall. If you wander too far away, you will be warned to return. During this time, you must stay within sight of him. Once you have joined the marshall, you will usually be told to follow him for a while. What types of soldiers you have doesn't matter fresh recruits will work just as well as top tier knights or infantry. Typically the number of troops you will need will be much lower than you would normally have unless it is very early in the game. The first order you will get is to report to the marshall with a minimum amount of soldiers. You do not have to do them, but if you accept them and subsequently fail any, you will lose reputation with the marshall. If you are not the marshall, you may occasionally receive orders from him when he starts a new military campaign. Controversy also plays a significant role. In Warband, all of the vassals give their opinions to the leader, but there is no formal voting process. If you are factionless and then accept a faction leader's offer of servitude, marshall elections very often happen soon after you take your vows (within a few game days or even hours).

On the other hand, if you start off the game as a factionless bandit-hunter, rack up 1500+ Renown, then join a faction, you are almost guaranteed to get the title even if you've never spoken to any of the lords before. If your Renown is low, you may have a hard time being considered for Marshall even if your standing with the faction is 100. Your standing with your faction or your friendship with particular lords seems to be of secondary importance. The marshall isn't always elected, and sometimes the monarch will appoint a new one, especially if the current marshall has been defeated or captured. If you win the election, you become the new marshall and your opponent will like you less (-3). If you are a candidate, the voting will progress in much the same way, except you don't get to cast a vote yourself. If your Renown is high enough, you may be given the option to be a candidate, which you may refuse. The candidate you vote for will like you more (+2) and the one you didn't vote for will like you less (-2), regardless of which one wins. If you are a vassal, you may cast one vote as well. Two candidates will be listed and every other lord of that faction will cast one vote for one of the two candidates. In the original game, the King periodically calls a vote to choose the new marshall. The title defaults to the Monarch, but will generally be assigned to one of the Vassals of that faction. The Marshall is the military commander of a faction.
