1.of course, every dark knight's  enemy lord that you capture is 1+ to relation
2.when i did this ^^ i joined them and one of my castle recruited me dark soldiers
3.good archers like elite infantry
and for you it's hallber on ground fight when you on horse you can kick them with that hit
i think it's called something like delivered council damage
this way i knock lady laktrin couple of times

and when you dark knight lord
in thier castle or town they don't wear any cloth

1. How would you get +1 relations with them if you capture them 
Or are you talking about freeing them from the prisons of other factions?
2. So in the sense of the OP it's 'no', since it's only what the fiefs produce by themselves.
Merc is planning on making them not captureable, so as long as you keep playing .582, you can capture some of them and then persuade them to join your service, though.

3. What weapons are effective against them?

Everything with piercing damage. Like morningstars, crossbows, and knight lances.
Though I can't recommend the latter from my personal experience, as you usually get unhorsed pretty quick.

Generally speaking the best weapon against them is a bunch of good troops. Like the very high tier Swadian cavalry, though you'll need to own a Swadian city then. And you might find that crossbows come in handy. I'd recommend using some of the Rhodoks, like Arbalestier and Elite Arbalestier. Maybe throw in a few Rangers or Skalds to kill some Horses with a bunch of quick shots.
You might want to look here to see where which troop comes from.

and for you it's hallber on ground fight when you on horse you can kick them with that hit

It's couched damage.

Edit: spelling and such

Doens't work for me. I was crushing the Swadians, the only ones at war with the DKs at the time and nothing changed.
Can you reproduce this? Or anyone else?

2.can I recruit some of their soldiers?

You can recruit DKs from rescued prisoners. I have a few in my army at the moment, all recruited from Nord dungeons, but not usually in large numbers.

not only with the dark knight
for example
now i am at war with the nords and the vegir and they are at war also with each other
now when i capture vegir lord it's 1+ for my relation
it means you need to capture 40 lord to join them
i did it and id not take long at all

I seriously never noticed any of that 
Well I'll definitely pay more attention to that the next time I capture one of the naggers*.
Are you King of your own faction or a vassal?


*Southpark anyone? 

 

[raul-1]

i'm king of my own faction

and what is Southpark ?

I see. That's the difference as I rarely rebel against my peer.

You don't know South Park?!
Change it ASAP! 


Edit: So it's South Park, not Southpark. Never noticed that...

Well, I'm sick of his avatar, if that counts for anything.

Got a question regarding the Dark Knights - they're set to spawn, IIRC, 70 days after the start of the game. Once they begin invading, would setting their invasion day to "never" cancel out their spawning?
