Huh?
Your clan is supposed to be the descendants of your ancestors. People can join by adopting your ancestors and being adopted by the same. Everyone else are vistors/guests or thralls. Getting them added as weaponthanes seems odd to me.
What I think you want is mercenaries. "Serve me and get paid, or die". I don't see this happening at the clan level (too poor to support non-family full time soldiers), but valid at the tribal level. Isn't that what ye old "huscarls" are?
If A# were to modify the engine and support other scenarios (Praxians, Trolls, 11th century England, whatever), that would become a more interesting option and would add to the game. I just don't like it for Heortling (Orlanthi) clans.
PS: Did I give more of a Glorantha opinion than a KoDP one?
