Hirelings

At setup deal 3 hireling cards (flipping 1 to Demoted with 3 players, 2 with 4, all with 5 or more) and set markers on score spaces 4, 8 and 12. When your score marker reaches a marker, you take it and at the end of your turn take a hireling and roll for control markers. At the end of each of your later turns remove one marker from each hireling; at none, you give it to another player. This follows the current Law of Root.
