The Dhsar control the whole map! I didnt realise as i was at war with the Ravenstern that the dshar was taking over every other faction! Sarleon is gone is gone the empire too and the dshar control everything they are so strong and i dont think  i will be able to overcome them anyone got advice? the line is from Valonbay To Sarleon.. Everything under that is controled by them everything above is controlled by me but i dont have many vassals
 
Surprise attack...it'll take them some time to properly assemble for war against you.

Figure out, who the marshall is, as well as who the big-army lords are, and take them down first, before they assemble. Then start taking any available town or castle with your vassals. Even if you lose a fief or two, the AI won't be able to keep up with your speed.

And as long as you keep the marshall imprisoned, they won't gather at all, until they have chosen a new one. Take the sovereign down too, and they won't even select a new marshall.

The longer you wait (even if it's for buffering your garrison), the worse it'll be, because the AI lords will build up troops and feasts will reduce their infighting.

Another tactic is to leave the sovereign but beat up everyone else...after a few weeks, they might sue for peace. Then you can dishonorably break the truce again and start bashing away once more.

And focus on lords, that have a good relation with you...once you take them prisoner, you can persuade them to join you. And make you sure you accept every lord interested in joining you, even dishonorable ones. Even if they're unhappy, as long as they're with you, they won't join the D'Shar.

If they have taken out everyone else, you will have a lot of vassals joining your kingdom from the defeated factions.

Just hold out, maybe try taking a few really defensible cities, and stocking them with amazing troops.

You'll only get half the "free" lords...others will go to the D'Shar. And most importantly, once the lords join you, unity depends greatly on your relationship with them. By assigning fiefs, that will go to hell, and not giving them fiefs will make you lose relationship.

The AI lords have an easier time keeping together...even if it's just forming smaller groups and raiding your villages.

Time is your enemy...and you won't have the time to do loads of feasts either.
 
Go on a nonstop war against them and imprison ALL of their lords in prison towers. Never let them out. Finish the game before war is over.

Pick off lords and try to recruit the good ones.

Repel marshall army in sieges with superior terrain and tactics. Employ all the dirty tricks up your arsenal.

Target high renown lords specifically and throw them in jail or recruit them.

Counter-siege their castles to make them turn back, or just trade. 3000+ men army takes almost no casualty from small sieges.

If you're losing the war, you can still win the game. Just give up your kingdom and focus on fulfilling win conditions
 
Thank you for advice guys if you have anymore tips just post them.. I am not joining the Dshar i want the whole map to myself seeing how i have never been able to do that even though i have 400+ hours played in the game total

Err....one of the victory conditions IS being part of the last standing major faction.

But you can just give up your kingdom and join the D'Shar...though I doubt that is of interest to you at the moment.
