[Dave Van Ommen]

Instead of adding mercenaries, a new feature could be made for adventurers.
Say, after getting 1 recommendation, the adventurer could upgrade to
"Mercenary". Not a noble, yet not an adventurer anymore.
They can "set up shop" once they have saved up enough gold, say 50 gold.
Start their own mercenary outfit and recruit peasants.
Or give lords the option to "volunteer" their regional peasants if the
mercenary swears allegiance to that region (not the lord, the region).
The Mercenary would be hired to fight in wars, and part of that income would
be taxed.

It's a step up from adventurer, with some new options, and would make the
adventurer class choice an actual option again for the 3rd or 4th character
slot.
