This has several benefits: You can discuss with other lords as to who gets the fief. Whenever a new castle or town, always select to appoint someone in the future.
Leaving an Open Village: This is something you need to address when you conquer your first property outside of your capital. Very high village relations and prosperity will yield massive amounts of recruits.Īlso remember that you can now swap fiefs with another lord, so when one village hits 50+ relations, swap with a lord who has a low relations village, lower taxes, and profit!
Second: It will help improve the prosperity, especially if said village has been sacked many times. This will do two things: First, Very Low taxes will increase relations every week. Don't bother lowering the taxes on the city, unless the economy is suffering. Hire a treasurer, and lower all the village taxes down to Very Low.
Village Management: After becoming King to a city, one of your priorities is to build even better relations with your connected villages. Lords and Kings are picky and don't want to talk to commoners, women or people with low persuasion when it comes to matters of diplomacy. The person you send is always a companion, you want them to be a Male, Noble and have a high Persuasion skill. Diplomacy: When you're a King you have the ability to send emissaries to other Lords and Kings. You never want to fight on two fronts at once. Sovereign Relations: Try to avoid going to war with more than 1 faction at a time, if another one declares on you while you're waring someone else sue for peace with one of them as quickly as possible. This will keep them in good relations with you.
To counter this hold feasts often, help them in battles and give them troops.
Relations to your vasals: Everytime you give a fief to another lord, every other lord will decrease in relation with you by 1. Hunting for a fresh-captured city (always starts with a small garnison). Become a vassal and with the support of other lords weaken the targeted city, then being released of your oath with your liege and finishing the siege on your own. The best way to start a kingdom of your own is to take over a city (bordering 1-2 other factions) from another (preferably weak) faction. Start your kingdom with a known town (20+ relation). High relations with as many lords as possible. +30 relations in at least 10 villages, +20 relations in 5 towns.
