If you captured the town in question or have lots of friends among the nobility it's worth lobbying for it to be assigned to you (talk to nobles you are friendly with and ask them to support your claim, though in my case I've found the king handed over about two-thirds of the stuff I captured to me without me bothering to play politics, the rest he took himself but paid me some rather minimal compensation for). During that period all the nobles in the faction will have an opinion about who should get it. When a faction captures a town or castle, there's a period of several days before the faction leader assigns the new lands and their villages to a noble in the faction. If I ever had to flee the Khergits, say because I eloped with a major Lord's daughter, I'd have lots of Vaegir friends because of my very chivalrous behavior when we were at war.Ĭlick to expand.One very easy way to raise your influence with nobles if you're a member of a faction I found was to play politics when it came the assignment of captured land. The last way is letting an enemy prisoner go after you've won a battle. Also running errands for a lord, before you get your own title and land, is another way to go. Do favors for them and they'll boost your relationship with the lord. One way to influence nobles is through their ladies if they're married.


Lots of opportunities for loot and improving your standing in big battles. I'd also follow Marshals around for the same reason, even if I hadn't been called up. This guy I'd just follow around and hope something came up. Other nobles I'd just incidentally impress by rescuing them as prisoners or helping them out in battles. I wanted his favor before marrying his daughter (who made it clear she was fine eloping). I won't say I was brilliant at manipulating this but I did spend a good deal of time trying with one Lord in particular. You'll find each NPC noble tends to have his own approaches and outlooks on things, some are influenced by whom he's related to, others on whether he's loyal or disloyal to the monarch, and some have different ideologies - some favor war for the sake of war and others like the trade that comes from peace. Say I wanted more nobles to go out and fight, I might work on my reputation with them and then ask them for help or suggest courses of action. One thing I really enjoy about M&B: Warband is the political aspect.
#MOUNT AND BLADE WARBAND BERSERK MOD HOW TO#
With 120 or so men under arms, most of them veterans my weekly wages bill is massive, but recently I've been building up an industrial base in a number of cities so I have a decent income even without pillaging enemy villages.Īs such, I figure I'm ready to renounce my oath of vassalage and strike out on my own, but annoyingly though I have an awesome Renown and Honour my Right To Rule stat is still pretty damn low - I'm not really sure how to raise it beyond sending out companions to inform the world how awesome a king I would be (and that doesn't raise it much). I'm playing Warband and have got about as far as I really want to go as the vassal of Sultan Hakim - I'm married to a noblewoman, well liked by many members of his court and thanks to my conquests have been granted two cities, a castle and a few villages as a fiefdom. If you want to take them out of play when crushing their kingdom you can take them prisoner and then refuse to ransom them (though there's a chance they'll escape).
