I'm stuck... I keep spending countless hours and gold trying to poach clans from the Empire, only for them to return to the empire after like 5 minutes of play time. I've shelled thousands of influence into improving reputation with them as well, and nothing... there's absolutely zero loyalty in this game it seems which makes it almost impossible to have a functioning kingdom. Every time I give me cities to my "thought-to-be" trustworthy clan members, they just leave... and what's worse, they take the f****** cities and castles with them to the other side!
How is a Kingdom supposed to actually get off the ground if you;
A) Cannot get random clans pledging allegiance to you
B) Cannot persuade clans to join you without considerable effort - only to have them leave your kingdom 5 minutes later anyway
C) Cannot expand your own clan beyond 9 members - at least, not from what I can find unless its some unlock later on
Am I missing something here or is this pretty much impossible?
The Empire has completely snowballed the entire map as well, which makes this task even harder as I cannot re-take cities without being at war with a faction with 20,000 strength.
