The base requirement to join a faction is 160, although this can be lowered if your relationship with the faction’s king is higher. Renown is important as it affects a number of things, such as whether you can join a faction.
Winning battles - The more the odds are stacked against you, the more renown you will earn. Your character’s renown is basically how well known he or she is throughout Calradia. From the wikia:Īs you progress through Mount and Blade, your character will earn more and more renown. When in doubt, though, I just let everyone go.ĪFAIK, kings accepting your vassalage is only based on whether you have a positive rep with them, and if your renown is high enough. Most lords appreciate being let go, but some will take it very personally. Just as an aside, some lords (Lord Etrosq of the Rhodoks, for example) take it as a personal insult if you release them after capturing them, and you get a huge penalty to your relationship with them after the fact. If the king doesn’t really like you that much (and he’s the only one with any say in the matter, so focus on him) then he’s sure as hell not going to give you any land in his kingdom. Once your relationship with the king is good enough, you can pledge your sword to him and he’ll let you swear an oath of fealty so you can become a vassal. Go hunt him down and accept whatever quest he is offering, no matter how lame it is. The easiest path to becoming a vassal is to get on the king’s good side. A few entrepreneurial ventures in some select cities can usually do the trick if looting and pillaging isn’t your thing. In my experience with vanilla Warband, the mercenary pay you get covers around 20-40% of your upkeep, and you have to make up the difference elsewhere. By setting lords free, you gain trust with them, once it reaches close to 100, you should start hiring them after you capture them - do this by setting them free, and there will be an option to make them swear fealty to you.Įdit: btw, you are playing the standard game, right? I’d recommend Prophesy of Pendor as an awesome alternative, but its pretty hard as well. Its hard, but awesome fun to build your own army. Remember, location is key here- taking an out of the way fort is good, preferably in a location that is hard to get to for as many factions as possible. Next up, defend against the 1200-1500 men that will come to destroy you every few weeks! Go rebel - REally really hard to do, but leave any kingdom you work for, capture a town or a castle, and take it for your own. Be aware you will no longer be paid, but get a village with your title. Swear fealty to a kingdom - Do the above as well, but now you may actually get a town or a keep for your actions. Now, you can do a few things - Keep building your army as a mercenary, capture lords and set them free again for NO ransom, which gives you honor and reputation with them.
