You can't, really. Sometimes events fire about one village or another seeking protection, but those are random afaik. I was just making a "joke" about starting the Iraq war. We're not making war, we are making peace!

If you talk to caravans belonging to your target, you have the option to demand their goods, and then to accept their payment, attack them or do nothing. Take their money, this will result in a relationship drop of a couple of points. Do this until you are below 0, and you are now at war! You might have to look around for more caravans, since once they pay you they are "safe" for quite a while.
If you are a vassal this will not work as smoothly. Your relations are not the same as your kingdoms, so it only means that their entire kingdom is hostile to you, and your friends won't even help in battle since they're not hostile. What you need to do is go start a siege, and the war will quickly be declared.

oh thanks

I started a kingdom by revolting against the kingdom of Ravenstern and I have since imprisoned about half theit lords.  I'very read that if you have good relations with the Lord's you'very imprisoned,  you can recruit them by talking to them.  For some reason, when talking to said lords I've imprisoned, my only options are the usual two.  Do I need to be more popular than King Gregory?  My relationship with most of these guys is above 15 after imprisonment.

As far as I know, you need at least 35 relation with a lord "after capture" to make them join your kingdom. Also make sure those lord you've captured aren't dishonorable characters, when dishonored lords get captured they say something like "I yield, call off your dogs". These lords are not trustworthy and may betray you. So I simply let go those dishonorable lords who I have positive relations with and when I meet them again I get -15 relation with them. As my relation with them drop below zero, I can distinguish them from other lords who come to my holding to swear oath. Having high honor rating will attract more loyal and honorable lords. It would be helpful to also state that the lords that join your faction have ~80% chance to fail to bring any centers "their owned castles or towns".

Also, I know I have stated before but my game has 20-30% chance to crash when talking to my companions, or interacting with characters on campaign map. This only happens on dx7, in dx9 this never happens. Maybe someone can help if they had this problem too. Thanks in advance.

The minimum needed vary according to a few things, but 15 is too low. I usually aim for 22+.

Just created my own kingdom and selected Pendor's culture but ... several days ago I still recruit Sarleon troops at my villages.

Any idea?

 

[Ah_Zhou]

70~80% chance of recruiting troops of own culture, 20~30% chance of recruiting troops belonging to the previous faction that owned the village.

Previous faction or original?

 

[Ah_Zhou]

basically, when you get a village, most of the time you will get troops of your own culture. Low chance of getting the previous faction that owned it before you do, regardless of where it started from.
For recruiting from other lord's villages, I'm not so sure.

Really extrange, I always get Sarleon recruits. Is there a place to check your culture?

PS just after sending this post I got my first èndor recruit!

Give it some time

Just to clarify the odds: it is exactly 80% chance for troops of the current culture and 20% of the original culture. Whether it was original or previous culture has come up before and I recall a coder, I think it would have been MadVader, informed us exactly how it worked.

There's a recent thread detailing looting in the non-stickies, you should look there.

Any way to manage fast respawning brigands in the forest area South of Marleons? I've killed the lair 4 times and it just comes back in a couple days. I tried putting sheriffs in the nearby villages and beefing up the militia patrols with good troops but they tend to focus on marauding enemy lords and let themselves be kited across the map.

Grind relation with them, until it's 1 or higher. When you have your own kingdom, the bandits will protect your people, instead of attacking them.

 

[Boiterouge]

Just be careful what KO's you create and join because it can seriously ruin your relation with the bandit factions. I went from +6 to -18 with Jatu for joining Silvermist Rangers.
