I’m looking for hacks as it says in the title where the protagonist is not the typical lord, prince or princess or mercenaries or heroes that serve a kingdom. Does anyone know one that I recommend, it doesn’t matter if they are old or new.

Below are the ones that come to mind with a fairly strict application of your request (that is to say, I omitted a few hacks with some mercenary involvement as lord(s)).
(Gentleman) Thief
Bandits
The duchy of Lansford is not in peaceful times. Its citizens are ravaged by bandit raids, the mighty Empire to the north marshals its armies for conquest, and a dark cult grows behind the scenes. Young Prince Adonis, son of the ruler Duke Athaulf, enters his first taste of adulthood as he sets out to return peace to his land.
You’re the bandits he kills in the Prologue.

Update: Recruitment Guide (contains minor joinable unit spoilers, nothing major) - Isekai Emblem Recruitment - Google Sheets
According to this article, of which I am admittedly relying on a redditor’s translation because my Japanese reading skill is probably on par with or inferior to that of a kindergartener, Kadokawa established a one-Isekai-per-season policy back in the beginning of 2019, over two years ago now. This got me thinking: where is t…

HoloEmblem: The Search for Seiso is based off vtubers from Hololive. Embark on a journey with Amelia Watson, a time traveling detective stranded in a medieval world. While she searches for a way home, she stumbles across other parallel hololive members. She comes to terms with the fact that in order to go home, she must Search for Seiso.
Unfamilar with vtubers? That’s completely okay! S4S was tailored so anyone can play without prior knowledge!

Embrace of the Fog, also known as Tweed-Emblem, is a community-input, roguelite-styled adventure. Summon allies at random, empower them at your base, then journey through 3 acts of epic battles, strange events, and powerful bosses!
This project is defined as a community-input project, which is an experimental format somewhere between a full-on community project and a solo effort. The community (i.e., you!) pitches ideas for playable characters, items, events, and maps, and the Dev …

Did you mean mercenaries in general or mercenaries that act on behalf of a kingdom?

I’ve not played all there is so others will surely have some recommendations, but we also have these then where there’s mercenary groups n stuff but they are not themselves representing kingdoms.

Download Bells of Byelen v1 (24 chapters)
Hello everyone, I’m here to share a complete FE8 hack with fully written supports, Bells of Byelen. This release includes 24 chapters and 3 character selection interludes, similar to TRS. There are a total of 73 player units, with 60 in any given playthrough.
This is a telephone hack, similar to Call of the Armor by Team Distant Roads. After the completion of CotA, Team Adversity was formed primarily from this same group, along with a …
Eight hundred years before Grado’s invasion of Renais, the Lagdou Empire dominates the continent. Powerful mages rule with technology beyond the ken of mortal man. Condemned by the gods, the empire drowns in blood and fire. A curse of the flesh, cast with fear and greed upon the innocent, births a single entity known as the Demon King.
One person has the power to stop it, at the cost of many innocent lives. They make their choice.
Eight hundred years later, war ignites. Isabelle Taylor, daugh…
“When everyone’s a slow little baby, no one is”

I’ve never liked designing armor knights. The idea of a unit who is exclusively valuable for defense has never appealed to me. On top of that, their speed is usually miserable, leaving them open to double attacks (even in FE7, a game with notoriously slow enemies, Wallace will never double and sometimes even eat a double himself.) Recently, I decided to face my fears. I would design more slow units.

A familiar sun set over foreign soil. The Aulestri pulled back, leaving swathes of their own behind, their fierce legions left broken against the rag-tag militias of the Federal Guard.

Fire Emblem: Storge is a relatively short hack with the premise that all recruitment (which is done by hiring mercenaries) and buying of weapons and items is done at the very start, and then the player must play through the rest of the game with those choices.
The story centers on the merchant Becker, who is on a trip from Fussell to Barnett, ostensibly to sell a shipment of Vikarian emeralds, but in truth, he is looking for his estranged daughter Gretchen, who is working there as a mercenary. …

My hack’s two protagonists are a wandering knight and Dragon Jesus. I think I fulfill this one.

Just dropping into say that Storge is the one I’d go to first. It’s short enough that you can finish it in a day and it’s got one of the most fun and unique concepts I’ve personally experiences in a rom hack.

My name is Nazrin, and I pretend to be that spirit.
Each year me and close friends travel to the capital to get the goods.
But this year we just couldn’t stop getting into fights…
I present to you MICE MIRACLE. My probably final FE Hack where I plan to include a lot of cool Map, Mechanic and character Ideas I still had. Don’t worry about Nazrin being from Touhou, this game kinda has little to nothing to do with Touhou…
I made a game last christmas that is about a mice spirit pretending to be santa for the parents of her home town.
It is a pretty short game but I do think it turned out pretty well.
And it is for sure not the usual fire emblem experience, it also has no permadeath with it being very “all hands on deck” both in the gameplay and in story. If they can’t die or be benched, they can have as much role in the story without it feeling strange.
