you need a decent right to rule to recuit other lords, there is a section on the forums explaining how to get right to rule.
for example i have 6 persuasion 52 right to rule and 45 relations with a rhodok lord, i asked him to join stating "i am the true king" and he replied "if i join you i will be in a sea of enemies" (not even at war with anyone) and eventually he says "no im not joining you, dont mention this again"
GRRRRR!!!
Dreamer said:I received a weird message when I was trying to convince a lord to join my liege.
It was something like "DEBUG: political value _ -43"
I was glad to get some feedback on the numbers for these conversations, because really, it's been really hard to get lords to join you, you either end up with nobody or a kingdom full of dishonorable lords and their 'give me lands!' psychosis.
