Is you want to disable this mod in your save:

Install Aragas. SaveMissingModuleFix

Load the save without Limited Mercenary Contract and with Aragas. SaveMissingModuleFix enabled

Click yes for both messages

Load in the game

While in the game, create a separate save file which will "purge" mods data

Disable/keep Aragas. SaveMissingModuleFix

Enjoy your save without the mod!

Events are saved in it's own storage. I intentionally used a separate storage so the mod couldn't interfere with any data.

The mod uses Harmony for a workaround, but the way it's used should not introduce any incompatibilities with other mods at all.

Should the Faction also cover the daily costs of units?

Thanks to naiski3 for the inspiration!

Limited Mercenary Contract reintroduces Warband-style mercenary contracts, adding a 30-day notification to renew or end your contract with a faction. It's for players who want more control over their allegiance. With 828 endorsements and 23,045 downloads, it's a popular but outdated mod, last updated in 2020.

✨ Key Features

Adds a notification after 30 days to renew or end your mercenary contract.
Reintroduces the Warband behaviour of mercenary contracts.
Allows the player to choose to end the contract within the event.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Brings back that classic Warband feel—no more being stuck in a faction forever.
  • Simple and lightweight: just a notification, no bloat.
  • Proven popularity with 828 endorsements and 23k downloads.

⚠️ Cons

  • Outdated—last updated in 2020, so it may not work with the latest game patches.
  • Only does one thing: if you wanted more complex contract mechanics, this isn't it.
  • Potential compatibility issues with other mods that alter faction or mercenary systems.
🎯 Is This For You?
If you're a veteran who misses Warband's contract system and wants a quick, no-fuss way to leave a faction after a month, this is for you. It's also great for roleplayers who want to switch allegiances without breaking immersion. But if you're on the latest game version, you might need to check for patches.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • When the 30-day notification pops up, make sure you're not in the middle of a battle—it might pause the game.
  • If you're planning to switch factions, end the contract right before the 30-day mark to avoid a penalty.
  • This mod only affects mercenary contracts, so you can still join kingdoms normally.
