Will there be new swordsmen to recruit once I've exhausted the current supply?

troops in castles renews when you pass king quests and gain nobility ranks.
in taverns, shops and ets... troops never renew (or renew rarely, when you do some quests for tavern or shop keeper)

Thanks. I guess it's quite important to be careful with good troops, then.

It's not terribly important to be careful with the good troops... because you'll replace them kinda soon.
After I reached the dwarven lands, I replaced most of my humans with dwarves (not the inquisitors though). Now, in the elven lands, I replaced anything with elves, keeping cyclopses and giants though. I like those troops

Hi... First of all sorry for my bad English but I am not to good at it.. I had questions... did higher difficulty settings will help my character level up faster? There will be more troops in enemy armies= more experience or the numbers of troops will stay the same but they will be tougher? I want to know if there will be difference in level power etc. at the end of the game between character from easy and impossible difficulty...

The enemies will be tougher, but the percentage of exp for winning will be smaller, as well as the money income. All in all, the levels at the end won't differ very much, but the difficulty of the battles will be bigger

I started game on impossible difficulty some time ago and it is more then impossible but I am also super satisfied after every winning.. This could be too much for me but I check how my mage will level up (save, then use cheat to go on level 30) and I think that he could be able to complete the story... I started game few times and check level up bonuses to get the most from new levels (each time new game starts bonuses are different... like everything in this game.. but I think you all know this heh)

I think babies (in the game) at pretty bad. Its not hard to find items that are better than them and can be swapped but babies can. So my advice is not to have babies. (How did my wife give birth so fast anyway?)

Buy all the potions. They are cheap and useful. Buy those artifacts with special properties. Who knows when you will need them. Hmm, might as well buy all items they are not expensive anyway.

You will find that most cash are found laying around or from quests

ok sorry if this is a dumb Q, but what is the + to attack stat? i.e. one of my babies has given me +20% to attack and the other +3 to attack
