Finally! I'm able to ask who should receive the fief of Uhhun! I wondered if it was always last in the queue because fiefs are allocated alphabetically but that doesn't work, because Mazigh has just been taken from the Sarranids and it has yet to be allocated. No bug, just very strange that it took so long.

Edit - looking at this old thread https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?topic=226149.0 it may be that capturing and asking for a castle might cause a delay in the king allocating the attached village.

That's just what I have seen: a party of 65 Deserters, with only a small number of them actually Swadian soldiers, the rest were liberated looters and steppe bandits.

Okay, I'll wait ─ it looks like we've captured another fief now, it's name is in the "Who do you think..." option box.

Could the king have disappeared because his faction was eliminated? Or could the companion be a prisoner because the king's army lost a battle? Talk to a ransom broker.

Massive bandit armies depend on luck: as Piggyboi says, it depends on your level, but to see such large groups of bandits, one starting group has to defeat an army with a lot of prisoners, adding them to the victors' army and this has to keep happening - preferably against Manhunters who only knock enemies out. If you check, you will often see that the biggest bandit groups are made of more than one type - that's because they have beaten several groups of manhunters or lords and liberated their prisoners, increasing in size. It would need quite a lot of victories like that to get up to 100.

I think the biggest increase in relations happens when a lord is in a battle which he is obviously going to lose to a stronger enemy and you show up and turn the battle, so you win. I've seen relations go up by +8 or +9 immediately from this. This may affect "martial" lords the most.

That's something for the modders to deal with: there's no "joining an army" in Native Warband.

There is a small boost (+1 or +2?) when the king holds a feast, or when the king attends a feast hosted by a lord.

So you're saying, the game reports "Small band of enemies sighted near X" but you can never see the enemies?

You need more businesses in more cities, but it's too late for that now. What might possibly help is rebelling. I think I'm right in saying that when you rebel, you gain villages attached to castles but lose any villages which are not attached. Assign castles to companions, that will stop you having to pay so much.

The late game is basically broken, so many lords have defected so many times and then left Calradia because they've nowhere left to run. With fewer and fewer vassals for your king to grant land to, you will be given fiefs amounting to nearly half a kingdom.

A high relationship with a king isn't much use, unless you are his vassal. It's better to have high relations with lords, so they are more likely to join your side.

You mean to lessen the time it takes to build ladders or siege towers to attack a castle/city, or to make people move faster?

They don't make bad marshals, but they can be disloyal since their main concern is getting more land for themselves.

SOLVED - I went back to Gamersgate from where I bought and downloaded the game back in 2010. The site has an Activation Code which is accepted as my serial number.

This is still a bit weird.
