theres no faction called Buchsal, theres only a base called Bruchsal and the corresponding faction is Bundschuh (whoever came up with this name should be shot, it makes absolutely no sense and sounds ridiculous. jörg neumann should have known better )

ah, and bribing is possible on most of the freeports or on junker bases.

I stand corrected with thanks, but all the same can anyone help out with this problem?

I mean does anyone know what Freeport or Junker Base, as much fun as it is to travel to each base I would be great if someone could give me something more concreate.

"Bundschuh" does sound stupid, but apparently, its a historic reference.

My google investigation yielded this result:

To spare you the horrors of Babelfish:
The "Bundschuh" was the footwear of a 16th century farmer. It was a shoe made of leather , tied up with a long belt. It adorned the flags of the rebel farmers of Southwestern Germany in 1525. It was supposed to signify that the farmers had stood up together and were advancing against their lords. Also, the "Bundschuh" sharply contrasted with the spore-rattling knight's boots.

There's also a picture of the Bundschuh

Further investigations showed that the town of Bruchsal was apparently the center of the Bundschuh operations.

thanks for the insight

thanks for explaining german history to a german (me), yet the name still sucks

same goes for LWB - Landwirtrechtbewegung.
ok, many germans (officials) love to make composite words, but that one is quite ugly. and its even a typing error in it, it should be Landwirtrecht_s_bewegung instead

and why do the red hessians and the unioners have english names?
makes no sense to me, all these mixed up things... *pfff*
