to be honest I find the whole retinue thing micro management hell. A good idea in principle but just too much effort to take much notice of for me. Especially the exchanging retinue members between characters. It would've been so much easier if you could simply have sent retinue members to other another character automatically, instead of having to be in the same stack. I know medieval times were dangerous, but you could've had a percentage chance of the retinue member not making it depending on the distance and lands they had to cross. Maybe even make them (and character traits) game options?

I never bothered to manage them in Rome.

If you cant be bothered, dont do it. Control your overwhelming urges for uber-generals!

Besides, I thought your couldnt transfer in M2TW?

[Freedom Onanist]

Yep, that's what it basically means for me - I don't bother.

I haven't tried transfering them in mtw2 to be honest.

[Daveybaby]

You can transfer some of them, apparently. Most of them you cant, though.

Which is which i think we are supposed to work out by trial and error each time

What they should (IMNSHO) have done is made transferrable retinue members into actual full agent type people. Would've been quite cool to have special characters like marco polo wandering around the map at your whim.

i tried a couple of times with priests, hoping to get them pious enough to get promoted to cardinals, but the few times i tried it failed. i never did it in rome, cos it felt cheap, buffing up some 16 yo just come of age general so he had like all the uber retainers, was more fun going out and earning them :D

If you could transfer them all, Marco Polo would live forever
