If I don't do a contract marked "!" for fellow merc or other random person, will I miss out on that contract forever? Ya know, the quests that do not have an indefinite length.
- they'll stick around, all "!" contracts remain until comepleted. some you will not be able to pull off till you get to be a higher level
For said contracts, is it a bad thing if I only focus on the request and fail to complete the main contract?
- bad thing? no - depending on how much of france you and the side you are on has, or has not conqured, some of the main contracts might be near impossible to complete in the time provided.... you might start to notice, the way you leave the map = the way it is the next time you visit.... once, I decided to let England conquer everything.... the French contracts became near impossible... I go for a balanced commitment now... a couple french contracts then a couple english... etc.
And lastly, is there any advice for the red star contracts? I blow through most, if not all, of my recruits on those contracts. I've got swords, bows and horses maxed and in the high 50's and almost have spears up to that level. Everything else is below 20... should I focus on getting everything up in level or just raising the ones that are already 50+?
I've never tried to pull these off with troop limitations - if you can... expand the kinds of troops you have that are effective - even with your focus on the troops you mentioned, here is what you are up against and likely why you find this troublesome... there are 'Red Star' missions, with ten total stars, and usually 2-4 red stars on the right. These missions have base-unit levels of around 75, and base commanders at level 90. lol - the first time I bumped up against these I died repeatedly and horribly.. i've got a file with most of my guys up near or in the 80's and things go much better, but strength matching is still critical.
