Enemy of Factions Seemingly at Random

[Anthropoid]

I'm at day 131, level ~20, 260 renown, party of about 65. I have yet to be employed by or serve as a mercentary (much less vassal) to any Lord in the game. I have been recruited once by the East Seaxe but did not accept.

Nonetheless, throughout my game at various points, I find when I approach a town I am for some reason being regarded as an "enemy" of the town. The dialogue that comes up is as if I was at war with the faction owning the town and entering the town requires that I talk to a leader there to pay my way back in to good graces else disguise and sneak in.

If this is a new feature that somehow makes you an enemy if you help a factions enemies then very cool, I'll roll with that.

But maybe it is some kinda bug?

And just to add, it is not like I'm playing a raider or anything. I think I've stolen cattle maybe at most 3 times, and that was from villages owned by factions other than these ones for whom I'm an 'enemy.' I have however, done a lot of Guild Master quests, so maybe if you do a GM quest for a factions enemies that makes you an enemy of theirs for the duration of the conflict??

Maybe you have done something that worse your relation with that faction or it depend of diplomacy, Motomataru is working hard in this.

I usually get this if I rescue a lord for a lady, join up as a mercenary, or help out christian clergy too much and refuse to pay the wergild when my guys rape a pagan woman.
Then the pagan kingdoms will consider me their enemy unless I do them some favors or help out some pagans.

If you side with pagans/christians in certain random events you can piss off a faction, that's probably what happened. The hardline religious kingdoms like Mierce, Bernaccia, Centware are generally the ones that will dislike you.

Its a good concept at the core, but some of them are really ambiguous. Like if you simply pass by a church without entering it you make an enemy of an entire kingdom

Ah cool, so more or less a working as designed game feature.

Is looking at the religion for the Towns that comprise a faction the only real way to know what religion that faction is? Also, I'm not seeing anywhere that I can tell what religion Lord NPCs are?
