Well, that's kind of missing the point of the Foreign Legion, isn't it? The whole idea is that neither party has much loyalty to the other, FFL is essentially a bunch of expressly expendable foreigners for the French government to deploy as a military force.

Also the most likely enemy the German gov has to fight are nazi Germans, who would gravitate towards army posts
Having an army that sympathizes with nazis could very quickly turn into a professional nazi army, thus having a diverse one actually has less conflicts of loyalty, presuming they vet for cheeki jihadis

Basing it on the FFL where service = citizenship would be a great way to socially integrate Germany and newGermans in addition to providing manpower for such a FFL, as Germany has now an overabundance of young foreign men with nothing much to do
This would also allow Germany to take a more active and not retarded foreign policy on the world stage

10/10 would recommend again

P.s. if you want expendable foreigners just do a Saudi Arabia and hire loads of mercenaries

I think you're onto something there, Germany starts this foreign legion, recruits it's 20 million Syrian refugees who join for citizenship, then they can send the 'army' over to the Middle East to recover their homeland.
Doesn't particularly matter if they win, if not we'll you don't need refugee camps anymore.

A middle eastern bay of pigs invasion?

Since when does winter start with May?

May I tempt you with some delicious devils-food cake?

I'll take some Baal bread, that stuff's great.

How does next Saturday at 6pm sound? I can't do Sunday, unfortunately.

You call that "starting to look better"?

IS got a foothold there in the first place because we left them to rot in a power vacuum after 'supporting' them to get rid of Kadhaffi.

So there is a new dev blog up, and while most of it is just talking about the siege gameplay they showed at E3 they had one very interesting thing to say.

During the assault, some of the soldiers seen are equipped with weapons and armour, not in-keeping with those of their faction. While it is possible, via a number of routes, for troops of any culture to end up in the services of another, what you actually saw here were the companions of the player and the defending lord. In Bannerlord, Lords now have their own companions, much like the player, augmenting their own abilities by employing the services of others. And naturally, these may include individuals from distant lands...

Now it seems lords can recruit special followers that act kinda like the companions for the player in the older games. I'm hoping this also means there are wandering adventurer types that are like player-NPCs, recruiting followers and doing their own thing as a player would.
