Sword To Ploughshare Achievement

[PrinceOfWales]

I'm playing as a Nomadic horde and trying to get the above achievement. I have made friends with a Mercenary with over 30 martial. The requirement was to be friends with a Mercenary with over 20.

I dismissed him from my service but I couldn't see an option to settle him.

Can't I do it as a Nomad, even if I have Feudal lands. Can you only get this achievement as a Feudal/Iqta/Tribal character?

Not sure when the achievement was added, they could have not edited it when Horselords came out.

I'm going to assume that's a Magic: the Gathering reference?

I'm pretty sure you can't do this as a nomad. It came out with horse lords so i'm pretty sure that's intentional.

...

They're both a biblical reference.

Old thread you shall rise from the dead...
... but for a good reason!
I just restored the Persian Empire (the third time) and finally got the achievement for it. Now I try to get the Sword to Ploughshare achievement. But I am unable to hire a steppe mercenary. Not much Nomadic realms are left, only two Manichean Kirghiz realms. I found four Band leaders who are sons/brothers from Kahns (not Kahgans) but they don't show up in my mercenary list. What do I miss?

That's not why I resurrected this thred
The wiki says:

Each mercenary company has a predefined capital province, and may also have predefined cultural or religious requirements. You may only hire a company if your capital is within a certain distance of the company's capital and if you meet the religious and cultural requirements.

What is the 'certain distance'?

What is the 'certain distance'?

Pretty sure it's just the standard diplomatic distance from your borders. Which is like, two geographic regions or something.

 

[kmh42]

I don't think there is the problem
