There is a lot of misinformation in this video. -The percentage thing is just how much the other vassals support you getting the castle. -When you have their icons above your ticket in the decision it means they are spending influence to increase the support for that decision. -What you aren't taking into account though is that the vassals don't make the decision. The ruler decides and depending on his relation with you/other candidates and also depending on the number of fiefs you already have or don't have it can make him want to go one way or another. -However if the ruler wants to override a majority vote he has to spend his own influence. And this cost can be increased or decreased depending on the kingdoms policies. -Most of the time, if he doesn't hate you, and you have majority support it will go to you, assuming you are even a candidate. Some other notes: -You don't need to participate in the siege to be a candidate for the settlement. It is possible that participating increases the chance you are on the docket, or perhaps it increases your support from the other vassals in the decision, but I haven't verified one way or another. -You are limited to a certain number of fiefs depending on your Clan Tier. I believe it increases by 1 per tier, and I'm fairly certain the max is 2 at Tier 3. -Your Kingdom's Ruler's traits can effect how likely he is to give a fief to a vassal over himself.

They fixed the losing 20 relation bug when ending mercenary contact

i hope the mercenary system gets more like warband were the contract was monthly and in the end of that month you simply did not renew the contract without losing relation with lords because -20 is a bit steap for a simple mercenary to leave a faction i mean why would the lords care that mutch in my campaign vlandia has like 3 mercenary companies with them... Mercenaries come and go no reason to lose relation with the lords imo better to have a contract and not renew at the end without penalties or if you leave before the contract ends then sure there should be penalties.

One note on not becoming a mercenary for Sturgia if you want to be a vassal of Vlandia, if you do you can defeat their lords in battle then let them go and every time you do this, even if you force them into battle, you gain +2 relations with that lord. So technically it could be an easy way to farm relations before becoming a vassal if you're primary strength is battling.

"And since I just stopped breast feeding yesterday.." HOL' UP.

"still a little bugged" coz of a 95% miss? if you tell this to xcom players, they'd be like : that's not a bug, that's a feature.. hahaha

I heard the "breast feeding" comment, but I was nearly a minute into the video with a spoon of cornflakes raised halfway to my mouth before I stopped and said "Wait, what?".

This is how it went for me yesterday: I swore alliegence to the Southern Empire, and joined Rheaga's army. Together we fought one battle and sieged on city. Since I basically didn't have much influence, I ignored the vote for the new city. To my great surprise, I was granted it. Then after her army dissolved due to lack of cohesion, I formed my own army and three other lords joined me. Under my leadership we took another city, two castles, and we won a major battle. Now I had plenty of influence, but my name only appeared on the docket of those three elections once. And even though I spent 100 influence, I barely swayed the voted by a few percentage points. The new fiefs ended up going to much stronger lords who already has several fiefs. I think this whole system still needs fine tuning

I gathered together about 500 troops with like 8 nobles or something to capture a city, we successfully captured it and held off 3 attacks during the siege building process. I wasn’t even a candidate for getting the city lol.

Few things. Those bars aren't your influence, they're how much support each candidate is receiving from the realm. (on the vote screen) Rulers can and will go against the majority and either hand it to the lesser candidate or themselves. I don't know if that's personality based but you will see messages about rulers going against the majority quite often on the world map. You don't need to vote to get a fief, it helps if you can vote for yourself to increase your support but it isn't necessary. Like I said above sometimes the rulers will give it to someone else regardless. 80 hours in so far, having a lot of fun, but ya there's a few things that I've found.

You can also do the main Quest and establish your own kingdom by forming the banner and taking a weak defended castle, once you take the castle you go to war with that faction but if you run back to the quest giver it makes you at peace with all clans... then you can decided your course of action after that.

King Harlaus has awarded Sargoth to King Harlaus

Another fun tip: If you want a castle as soon as you join a kingdom, swear your allegiance to their ruler immediately after they take a new one. It will most likely go to you.

Wish this castle guide actually showed what you do when you get a castle.

I suggest getting the bannerlords tweak mod, from nexus mod. They have a bunch of small fixes like being able to leave as a mercenary after 30 days options like warband and double xp gain/renown. Its a good way to accelerate the early game

The AI will decide to be nice to you on occasion if you cant change the vote. I had 1% support for getting Odokh, but Rhaeggea gave it to me

Literally searching for what I need reference this single player and you are at the top of every single one. Really happy for you man! Keep grinding and things will keep getting better for you, I've got a good feeling about that.

You sir, are going to be the reason why I do so well in Mount and Blade: Bannerlord 2.

Do Americans really pronounce fief like "fife?" I've always said it like "feef" (as in thief).

I dont think that the castle thing is a bug. 100% means that all of the votes are on your side but I think that the ruler can decide against that vote (propably by paying quite a lot of influence)

THANK YOU! I have been running around all day!

thank you for the videos, a lot of good information here. If you get the inkling, I would like to see a video on how to gain a lot of positive relation with other lords/vassals. Unlike the first game, there do not appear to be very regular quests that you can run for them to make them happy. It also seems like my relations aren't really increasing when join their armies, nor does it seem like the relation is increasing when I help them in battle. The best way I've found seems to be voting in favor of some of their proposals using the influence system, but this usually makes enemies as well. Trying to find a more balanced way that won't make others hate me at the same time. Keep up the good work!

I've been looking for this guide for days! Thanks for all of your informations, m'lord!

here are a few corrections (from 1.0.4, also Vladian): -as a vassal you will eventually get a fief even if you dont fight for it (I got a castle but didnt even realize it straight away), then I captured a city and got it by influencing the vote. -after I have acquired 2 fiefs, I besieged 2 other castles with armies I summoned myself, and I wasnt even part of the vote: It seems to me that you can't get a 3rd fief if not every other vassal has 2 (no more than 1 fief difference between vassals, only the king gets more) and thats probably why you can get a fief without fighting: if every other vassal has 1 or 2, and you have 0, then you get 1 to even it out. Or maybe it has to do with clan rank. This part is only assumption without anything but my own experience of the game to back it up. Please contradict me if you have experienced otherwise.

Can you do a castle management video? Really struggling with food on mine and over time that lowers my prosperity

Really nice guide - cheers!

Some of my experiences with getting fiefs: - I feel like the percentage chance for getting a castle/town is much higher if you were involved in the siege, even higher if you led the army yourself but you can still be a candidate if you were not involved. - It seems more likely that you are nominated if you already hold a fief in the general proximity( I held two fief in the north and when a random army took another city close by I got nominated with majority support. I never was on the list for castles on the other edge of the empire though) - If any lord in your faction (including you) lost a fief and it gets recaptured I believe it has a higher chance to go back to that lord. For me it worked really well to farm up some Influence, create an army and capture a castle/town somewhere. If I get voted for it I then try to focus on nearby castles. This way I managed to sweep through and take 2 cities and 2 castles for myself in one go. I didn't do any extensive testing so these points may just be a random occurence in my campaign.

In my experience as a vassal, I was quickly given two fiefs (a castle and a city). I had participated in sieges against other fiefs but not in either of the two I wound up receiving. After that the ruler seemed to be doling out fiefs to clans as they joined in order to keep things spread out.

Since I also pay attention to the color, because I don't want my soldiers to be pink, I especially choose the realm that has the coolest color. What a pity. Thanks for your videos!

Hey there. Thanks for the video. I guess it's very good for starters getting to see, how some mechanics work out. I've put up quite some playtime myself so i'm sharing my bit of experience here aswell. My first "playthrough":(Ver 1.02) I became a vassal of Vlandia and got a castle right away, even though i wasn't part of taking it. Afterwards, all the castles went to the same clan over and over again. If he was part of it or not. 2nd Playthrough: (Ver 1.03) Nearly same as the first. Got to grab a Town and a castle, but i was part of it when it had been taken. Afterwards, no more and always the same clan has been into votes, if they've been part of the siege or not. Then our Faction was on the verge of destruction, i choose to leave the kingdom, keep my fiefs and sided with another kingdom. As you said. That dropped my relation by -40 with a lot of clans. Sadly, those clans joined the same kingdom i was in afterwards and it started to happen again, that i was not given any castles/towns at all, cause i've not even shown up on the list. Funnily enough though, the same clan that did get all the feifs back at the old kingdom, now also got all the feifs in the new kingdom. Some where overruled by the ruler and he took it himself, but other than that, this clan has been in all the votes again. 3rd "Playthrough": (Ver 1.03) and (Ver1.04) It's just an earlier stage of the 2nd Playthrough i took a different route. I picked a 20-25 stack army (Cav + Archers) and hunted down looters in auto-resolve to get my renown up. I wanted to train an army anyways, so fighting looters in auto-resolve is the way to go, since you only get wounded ppl. Don't auto resolve against anything else, unless you don't care if you loose troops. Back to the topic. It took some time, but my renown(and money from loot) was sky-rocketing. I was at the stage were i already had above said 1 town and 1 castle. SInce i didn't fight any battles for castles or towns i wasn't in the vote, but i used these votes, to increase my influence with some clans. When i was satisfied with the relations i left the kingdom again, got hit with -40 relations to everyone, but at this stage i had a good relation of 60+ with many of them and my clan was Tier 4. I joined Vlandia this time and this has been different all over. I took part in sieges and was in the votes for nearly all of them. I hadn't enough influence to get them all but i took like 4 castles (lost one i freshly got right away and recaptured it) and 2 towns in nearly 3 hours. I even abstained to one, since i couldn't handle it all at once. Funny thing, the ruler overruled the decision of 90% for the other clan and gave it to me anyways. My relation to the ruler was 3 by that time, so no pushing there. Some of the clans i had a good relation with joined the kingdom i was in, but in my votes, no other lord choose to put in his influence for me. (maybe cause i switched sides?) I gues turning up to a Tier 4 clan pushed me hard, yet i've also seen Tier 3 AI Clans getting a lot of fiefs just like that. Even saw the ruler owning 12 Fiefs, when vassals had like 1-2, some even none. I also noticed during votes, there are like military symbols next inside the leaders pictures, any idea on what they stand for? Is it how many influence points the candidate is throwing in? E.g. 1 cheffron for 50, 2 for 100, 3 for 300? In my picture i've never seen any and it seems to favor the vote for them. So my experience would be, building up renown as quickly as possible since it generates cash and clan tier. When you hit lvl 3 become a vassal, partake in some sieges and follow the advices in this video, if you're not in the votes at all, stop sieging, train your army with looters and try to attack single armies from the enemy and deafeat them. They'll most likely field recruits or lvl 2-3 troops, so you'll have much better trained soldiers. That way you can get away with 150 vs 200 and come out winning, with not as many losses since the AI just charges you when poked with some arrows. With these "skirmishes" you earn like 8-10 renown every fight. Even when you outnumber the enemy i got like 4-5 renown. So this is good leveling. Turn Tier4 and go at sieges again. Right now, this has been the way for me to work out best. Edit: And since i read it in the comments (thanks for the reminder) and forgot about it. Release the lords after fights. This will gain you +2 or +3 relations every time. Just lock them away when they get annoying and raid your villages over and over again. I hope this was not too long of a text, just wanted to share my experience here, so maybe keep some frustration away from you, cause i was really desperate when i didn't get anything at all and others have been overthrown with feifs. Cause i know, i've been frustrated.....Thanks again for the video, thumbs up! Cheers, Muskelbiber

Thanks!! I really needed this!

WAIT! So what is bugged about starting your OWN kingdom??? - Also I got a castle by just going solo and storming one... Next I just need to rank up a bit and get more men and then I can start a kingdom the quest says.

The Trade skill tree has a perk where you can barter settlements. perk is "everything has a price".

I love all your videos. You do a great job!!

Thanks for making this!

Apparently, if you just joined in and don't have any land yet, they will rush for you to get some. When I joined Vlandia there was a vote going on a nord city and everyone in the kingdom voted me to have it. Well, I fought for Vlandia for a really-really long time by that moment, so maybe they just liked me a lot.

There is definitely couple bugs when it comes to kingdoms one of the big ones is the snowballing as well as I think how it works is if the faction leader have enough influence he will use it to overturn any vote to go to him as well as I have noticed sometimes when you take a castle by yourself it can go to a Lord that wasn't even there there's always other thing is you can do at a mercenary you can take them prisoner and let the Lords go to get a pretty good relationship boost by +2 so it can be a pretty good strategy that if your kingdom is losing the war you could switch sides and the people there would already like you but that's if you do not loot The villages

I've just randomly gotten 2 castles and 4 villages while I was just fighting the west empire...And it helps if you vote for the same people and make allies that vote for you.

I think the most secure way will be through the trade skill

With the Vote the Percentage at the bottom is support for that character, This generally means that the person with the highest gets it but the Leader still gets the final say and can give to whoever he chooses, hell often give it to his buddies, himself and the Leader seems to try give vassals some responsibility/reward which is why getting your first City can seem easy but struggle to get support for a 2nd

I approve this vid. You magnificent sparkling beast.

I think its “feef” not “fife”

That wasn't a bug but a feature.. The monarch can overrule the votes. You may have realised the report that goes "this castle went to lord .. and caused a split between the council" or something like that. And also, there's a policy in the kingdom menu where the monarch can have to lose less influence when overruling votes.

I was wondering how to become a mercenary so thank you for this

This was pretty helpful. I also joined Vlandia and I realized one day that they gave me a castle. I didn't vote on it, didn't take it over, didn't take part in taking it over, it's just mine. No idea how it happened.

Sovereign's decision : I do not think it is a bug, but rather a bunch of hidden variables. If the king/queen calculates that he/she needs more castles (or villages/towns) to assert his/her "rulership", the king/queen does not need to invest Influence as he/she has the veto power or sovereign right just to take the castle. BUT when the king/queen has enough holdings, the Influence *might* work a such if the requesting lord(s) "need" more fiefs. -- Likewise, as in M&B:Warband, if a lord already owns a castle or many holdings, the king/queen might also ignore the Influence vote and block a lord or lords from getting more fiefs.

Hey I've had it go to me in a decision that I didn't have the top vote percentage for in the past. The main thing that you are not seeming to consider is the generosity stat that some characters have. If a character has enough negative generosity traits they will never give a castle away, might wanna look into it :)

I know a lot of people have already made certain comments to correct some of the wrong info in the video but I thought I'd share my experience. I was awarded an entire city, Phycaon, with 0% support and me abstaining from the vote. I hadn't even done anything for my liege in that game and only had a minor relationship boost from being a vassal. I had only become a vassal a few days prior and was still just farming looters and desert bandits to rank up some Aserai horse archers. I was nowhere near Phycaon when it was captured. My experience is that the ruler decides who gets the goodies and that you are mostly just trying to swing the odds a little more in your favor. I do believe that rulers are less likely to give land to people who already govern 1+ provinces over landless vassals as happened in my case. Having voted on several subsequent allotments of fiefs I will say that lords tend to go with the council if all other factors are equal (Clan rank, # of fiefs already governing, etc) and that the council vote does have significant weight. However there is still the wild card element or a landless caravan owner who had nothing to do with the city still gets the city.

I think this video has a lot of miss information. I don't think it is bugged as you state. I don't think it matters how much you do in the siege, it all goes down to the politics, and relations ship simulation, and the kings decission. You get percentage of votes, you can use influence to affect it too, but in the end, the ruler decides, and can turn over the majority vote with bunch of influence. That's my experience with it so far.

It sometimes also happens that the ruling lord gets the fief despite the vote and it will also prompt a message that the lord veto'd the vote against the wishes of the council

If you are a mercenary they pay you 15 gold per 1 influence? So if you had 2 influence they would pay you 30 gold per day, or how does that work?

That fucking intro, wauw. Straight to the good stuff huh? You don't miss a beat dude.

I was so confused when I scrolled on two castles and found out they were mine. I didn't participate in the siege or the vote and I must missed the notification. Seriously that left a sour taste in my mouth for the game.

Hey, anyone know if lords come back after we execute them, i think they might as i am hunting down the Bretanians, and I executed one of them and his clan was destroyed but then i think i saw him and killed him again but maybe it’s because they are nearly dead so they respawn?

In my play through I just joined the faction. Followed an army around took a castle, got moderate kill count. Checked out voting screen didn’t know what I was looking at. My character was one of the names to vote for but had 0% under it. I figured there was no chance of getting the castle so I abstained my vote cause I didn’t want to effect my relationships in the new faction. The ruler gave me the castle. Even with popular vote being 100% for someone else. My line of thinking was that the ruler wanted to make sure all his vassals has fiefs to keep them happy. Maybe this depends on rulers leading AI. My play through was also with Vinlandians

I have a feeling that the faction leader (in the case of your faction, it's Derthert) has some traits that might effect voting outcomes. If he or she is devious and / or greedy, they might rig votes in their favour. Outcomes might be RNG in outcome or they might be subject to those traits....or a combination.

You are a godsend my friend

Can you go from merc to vassels without any penality from the faction you are. Let say i'm a merc for battania, can a become a vassels after a reach rank 2?

Soon as i joined as vassal to Vlandia i manage to get my currently first city Warcheg after Vlandian army that i joined and captured Warcheg there was no voting for some reason they just give it to me i had only small influence and neutral relationship with other lords and they still gived to me that city great!

You should do a video on creating your own kingdom and steps to follow on how to create it

When someone is decided on to get a castle despite it being against majority vote, it notes exactly that and tells you in the popup that the leader overruled the majority vote. For example, I owned a castle after fighting for it with an army and now, even if I completely ignore the warnings that it is under siege and just let my faction defend it for me or reseige it, I always get voted in (or overruled against the majority) to take it over again.

Ive noticed it seems like there is further voting after you submit yours. When you check the votes, those are the current votes cast. Probably wait until the last hour and then check the votes.

Priceless information for new players and war band vets.

what if a am a mercenary for a nation and i decide to after thet become a vasal of thet same nation,can i do this at all

One good way i found to get landed is to be a merc and save up loads of gold. Then you wait for the right opportunity to strike. When a city is conquered it's militia is reset meaning the amount of defenders will be very low- maybe 10 or 20 dudes. So you when you notice two factions are at war and a city/castle changes hands renounce you mercenary status and become independent, then declare war on whoever owns that city. You can do this by either raiding a town or just straight up attacking one of their parties, then hope you can quickly take the castle/town before they come to stomp on you. When you win find a noble and pay for peace. You might have to pay like 40-60k gold, the more nobles you can trade the better. Congrats you're now landed, at peace and can complete the create your own kingdom quest.

what will happen if i become a vassal and i have a workshop at the castle belong to other factions ?

There's a few things you misunderstood, given how vague it is, but basically the king of a faction always aims to have X number of castles, for generating the wealth to upkeep his army. If he is under that amount, he will nearly always grant the castle to himself. Once he has enough, then it distributes to others, on a relation and need basis. You already had 1 castle, and your renown isn't high enough to secure more castles basically, so king will grant to someone else higher ranked.

Lol italian you are low key actually so funny. That breastfeeding quip at yhe start had me chuckling

Anyone have any advice on keeping cities and castles from starving? Both of mine are fully upgraded but still starve. Does having a companion govenor help? They really need to add the ability for companies to lead small groups that defend your territories from bandits etc or create patrols for that purpose.

Another amazing video. So is there city investments we can make besides caravans?

Do you know if there is a way to hire mercenary companies like the Skolderbrotva?

as the king it costs influence to overall a vote so based on that i would assume the AI is effected the same if the king has enough influence he might be gready but if he does not have the influence he cant do anything

My experience with castles is quite different. After capturing and executing leaders and members of lesser factions I joined Vlandia. After that they declared war on Sturgia and after capturing one castle they instantly gave it to me with 100% support. Than they captured another castle and again gave it to me. I have no idea why, maybe because I have killed like 3 lords and donated another one to the dungeon. Also I did join the lords faction army during the siege of one of the cities.

what if you own castles and leave the kingdom? do get to keep your castles?

Hey, IT, i started to play this game recently, but i am experiencing an increasing amount of crashes - how is your experience?

With getting castles i saw that the leaders do not always do what the council desires. This can cause people to leave. I think each leader has their own personality and you can use that to your advantage. For example: i was part of one kingdom and i could see he regularly took the castle vote against the will of the other leaders or voted for policies against the will of the other leaders. I eventually left and went to another kingdom. Later we went to war with those i was previously with and got dialogue options to saw that the leader was not trustworthy and overall was not a good leader. The guy i was about to get in a fight with ended up leaving his kingdom and joining ours. I'm not sure if thats just how the carisma skill works out or if the terrible decisions of the leader made that play out that way but it was pretty cool to see.

easiest way ive found to ensure you get the fief, is siege a castle/city not connected(not near your factions current fiefs) like if your faction owns ocs hall, pravend and rovalt if you siege mazhaden castle usually no other lords spend their influence on it,

Omg that opening line

I noticed in a couple of your campaign videos that Khuzait have dominated the Eastern side of the map. What if you wanted to try to slow them down by employing a slash/burn policy of their villages to knock them back a bit economically or would that cost too much influence to your character?

Hey man, you said when you sont vote it never goes to you the castle, its not like that, in my early game, i didnt had any influence, and i did a lot of damage in a castle siege, abstained in the vote and it still went to me, th ai make it a bit random

Just today i couldnt ifluence anything i wasnt even present at the siege just took up vassalage and Derthert gave me a CITY as a fief Saneopa that was just captured. I was only in for a few days and he went against the vote and i had a city on the other side of the map. Nice.

The percentage of voting for who the castle will belong to does not depend on what your contribution to the capture of the castle was. In my experience, castles and cities often depart to those lords who were generally absent during the siege.

im new at this game, but i become vassal, was joining armys and taking enemy casttles ( helping fight enemys) and after some time i had 4 castles without know it, i dont ask them or try get them...

if you have none and others have some already, you get random places. usually based on relations with the lord. he will randomly give you places even if your not the one in the sieges.

The system to get a castle or town is not so different than in the games before, the new thing is the voting with influence. In M&B1 and the other parts the safest way to get something was to be a vassel, to have a good standing with the other lords and take part in the siege (+Kills and Army size). But if the leader wants/needs the castle or city he takes it no matter what. It´s btw explained in the tutorialmassage when you vote the first time, It´s a two step vote. The first is everyone and second is the leader, he has the final word on who get´s the fief.

I successfully capture a major city with may own troops but I was not given the city nor included in the voting. WTF I sacrifice and bleed for it just to be given to another lord

Could you please do a "How to manage your Feifs/Castles" video? Kinda struggling keeping my fief prosperous.

i got two castles without even participating in the votes at all, including not abstaining I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not but when you click abstain it says you will lose relation but if you just close the window it will resolve anyway after 24 hours and you won't lose any relation at least not that i have noticed. Also a few times i voted on some policies and i think that was actually a mistake for one i did not particularly care about the what the policy was doing. so i gained no benefit and just spend influence and worsened my relation with some lords again abstaining does the same thing where it makes relations worse so you just don't vote and just leave it there forever, since policies don't time out.

My allies won a battle for a city then voted me to be in charge of it, was pretty lucky!

I was given Ov Castle and Omor City as a result of the automatic resolution

I noticed in Warband, if you become a mercenary an enemy kingdom prior to becoming a Vassal for your chosen kingdom..it was much easier. For example..If I wanted to become a vassal for the Nords(endgame), I would choose the Vaergers or Swadia as a mercenary. Campaigning for Swadia, I would encounter Nords(that Swadia was at war with) and would fight them. Upon victory, always release them. Your honor would increase quickly with the Lords/Jarls that would eventually become my allies. If/when you chose to become a vassal for the Nords, you had a large amount of lords that were friendly to me. If you decided to form your own kingdom later, many would follow you. I am interested to see if this mechanic is also useful in Bannerlord.

Isint it all about relations when it comes to who gets a castle like it was in Warband i highly doubt they mde it any different for Bannerlord

Have you done any tests regarding capturing castles when you are not a vassal? would be curious to see how it goes when you are an independent faction. obvs a lot harder to do, but may enable us to see kingdom screen as a ruler.

the most efficient way of gaining a castle, should be by helping the interests of a nobleman who is a friend of the king who rules the nation that is at war with the nation that controls the castle you want. it's probably the slowest and longest, but also the most profitable and less risky. show up in a village and help the people... they'll talk of that to their lord, the lord will befriend you, he'll take you to the king, and he'll take you up as vassal *already* with recommendation from one of his friends. you can still attack and claim a castle for yourself at any point, if you don't serve any king, but that's the hardest way.... you need men, equipment, skills and whatnot. might as well join a kingdom and have THEM take the castle and then influence the king to give it to you.

A fief went to me without being able to influence. It was after I was a part of around 10 sieges so 1/10, low odds but it can happen

On your comment on you not possibly getting it if you don't influence the vote, I have been given a castle before without even participating in the siege for it as I was busy sieging another city. I believe this was because I married the faction leaders daughter and had done multiple quests for fellow lords and so both the faction leader and other vassals liked me quite a bit.

Love the video ❤ helped me advanced in this game Just btw fief is pronounced “feef”

random question here that is related going to getting a castle, i dont wanna piss anyone off lol so ihave been playing safe. listed below is my issue i captured 2 lesser lords, someone "of the embers" where his clan has 4 people in it, 2 of which i have captured in my prisoners tab. With lesser lords or whatever like these, should i ransom them (they get like 600 g for a ransom which is nice) execute, or what. I am new to the game and haven't executed anyone yet so i don't really know how far the ramifications stretch lol.

I made the mistake leaving and so lost 20 relations. Do I need to get -10 relations with every Lord or just the main rulers clan?

I already got a kingdom and should I give fiefs to other lords?? If I don’t , would they leave me?
