The first time I did the conspiracy quest "Intercept the caravan", as soon as I started the fight with the caravan I saw:
"<My character> has declared war on the Neutral"
and I lose influence as if I had declared war.
I'm not sure if this is related to me starting my own kingdom for this playthrough.
