How to Assign Mercenaries to Garrison?

To set up garrisons, liberate a fort or city. Not all forts or cities are available for garrisons and each garrison has its own distinct mercenary classes available.

After establishing a garrison, approach it and send the mercenary units you want. Preferably hire cheap mercenaries such as Soldier units.

How to Hire Mercenaries?

Recruit Mercenary Classes at the Fort.

Visit a fort you recently unlocked and hire a number of mercenaries. Each fort has its own set of mercenary classes you can select.

You can add up 64 mercenaries at a Fort. However, not all classes can be accessed as mercenary units.

Obtain Honor to hire Mercenaries.

Spend honor points in order to recruit mercenary units. The stronger the mercenary, the higher renown amount needed.
