Well if I abandon my companions that way will I eventually run out of recruit-able human soldiers?

Mmm, there technically is a population of 'generic faceless guys' from which these recruitable soldiers are pulled from, but it numbers in the thousands or more I believe.

If you go to a town or whatever and retire your adventurer there, your companions will become members of that town, and when you start playing that adventurer again (he/she will be listed at the end of the character selection list), your previous companions will not be following you anymore. They will be around the town, so you can find the ones you want to take with you and recruit them again. It might be easiest to do this in a castle, because if you lay down and crawl around in the keep/hall (rectangular building with the leader in it) all of the soldiers will assemble for you to pick from.

There may be side effects to this, though. It will clear your quest list, although that's probably not a problem. Also, I don't know if it resets your fame, but I wasn't able to re-recruit one of my previous companions ("Such enthusiasm from one such as yourself!"). I think it's because he had gotten several kills and was now named, and was thus too "expensive" for me now. I don't know any of this for sure since I've only done it once so far in the recent version. I read in another thread that there used to be bugs that would happen when you retired/continued an adventurer, but I can't say whether these are any more or less of a risk than the bugs you get from sleeping and traveling.
