So, Aethelred decided for some reason to strip me of Din Bych, which I conquered way back when. I Protested, not knowing it would cause an open rebellion. So my question is this: how do I surrender and rejoin Wessex?

Stand up to them, make your own kingdom! 

 

[kraggrim]

Or find the pretender to the throne of Wessex and help him take over.

you are a traitor. You can give up, let the king retake your centers and buy/work your way up again so he will forgive you. Then you can rejoin.

Or load a previous savegame

Ruthless is as good as Heroic depending how you want to play. In the past I have found it a little easier to be ruthless if you want to be pagan, and heroic if you want to be Christian -- but I have reversed it and you get along fine. Laithland being Norse I would not worry about a -150 reputation if you want to join them.

Is it a good option, to join laithiland? I may be ruthless but i am also loyal. I will change not my lord, never did.

Thanks mate. I was smart about it and am now a vassal of Gwynedd. My new job is beating up on those bastard Norse and their puppets

I have a personal preference for Laithland, being a descendant of the kingdom. I found it difficult to get support form my other Lords due to the spread out nature of the faction. Eventually I was able to take all of Norway and Scotland and most of Ireland. It is very important to plan fife-ownership to encourage Lords to defend or help in expansion. When my game ended due to a non-compatible game update. Dun Bretan, Scun and Cell Regamond (sp) were in the hands of lords that defended that border form the strong Nothhumberians (sp). As the faction expanded in Ireland it became easier to conquer there. Norway was great for my fifes as they were fairly safe from serious threats. You need lots of ships and Sea skills to play them though. I had three fleets if I remember right. One with 7 Busses (sp) able to move over 600 men. One of Karvis (sp) dedicated to move troops between Ireland and Scotland, and a fast one to  transport cavalry te defend fifes and such (3-4 20k ships filled with 80-100 cavalry and the rest sailors).

So, yes, join them. Just concentrate on making a place from which to expand from. Spread out like it is, you will get little support until you do.

I'm sure this has probably been asked before but is there a way to make Uthred the Saxon a recruitable companion?

Reading through the Saxon Tales rn and finally realized who this easter egger is and I'm loving it. Want to make my first non-nord playthrough but I'd love to have him by my side. (And capture Bebbanburg for him)

To make him into a real companion you will need to use the module system.

Modding VC:  https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,347990.0.html
In the Forge look for the tutorial on adding new companions.

 

[Thumrad]

If you become a vasal of any kingdom, you are no more allowed to hire danish vikings and north raiders? When i was at my own i always could, but since i'm an ally of the laithiland i justa can't do it anymore.

How do I make my pagan companions happy? They always have the lowest morale

 

[kalarhan]

How do I make my pagan companions happy?

Are you a pagan yourself? Each companion has a personality with likes/dislikes about other companions and your own actions, so you should gather the ones that match your playstyle (usually 5-8 is a good number without tweaks)

I have my own faction, and have been talking with a daughter of a lord from another faction, and wen e talk to him to ask him if a can be considered a groom, he says that because of being from another faction and we can be at war he doesn't want to.

How do i and is it possible to get marry with her if i raise the opinion of the lord to 100?
Or first i have to be ally of his faction and if so how do i do that? because the only thing i have been able to do until now was peace with the factions i have been at war never a alliance i seen emissaries with high persuasion, and i can only seen 3 options, declare war make myself into a vassal and show good will.

 

[kalarhan]

Unlikely. Marriage is one of the most complex features in VC hehe, as there are many variables (including random luck) to block your way. If you want to know more and figure out if its possible I recommend you get the game source and check the dialogs/scripts yourself, and see if your current savegame and the target lady is OK or NOT for you

Or just try again with other ladies until one of them says yes (preferable from your own faction ...)

The lady wants to get married but her father does not alot it. None of the lords of my faction have kids, can try to ask one that was to come to my faction, or i can make her elope, but don´t know if i get the right to rule that way.

I've still been experiencing the problem that I was having before with village quests. As a refresher; almost all villages will only give me the "Catch a slave" quest, with a small number asking me to bring them cattle (if their current amount of cattle is below a certain number). Has anyone else experienced this? Are there certain criteria that must be met in order to be offered the other quests?

quests have a global cooldown. So if you do the "catch a slave" you won't see it again for at least 30 days.

quests are chosen by a random roll (dice), but after that the game checks for particular conditions.

Quest for grain, as a example, requires low prosperity (<40) and that the village has 0 in stock (elder inventory).

You can explore the others quests by checking the script "get_quest" from the game source

hey I recently upgrade my refuge to it's third state. unfortunately I have now lost the option to tour my refuge

it takes a few ingame hours to finish the "upgrades". Rest/camp, exit your refuge (go back to the world map) and re-enter it once its complete.

Hey guys i started hosting a viking invasion server today, and was wondering how can I add more enemies to each wave, changing number of bots for enemy team seems to have little or no effect on their numbers  and waves are pretty weak if u have just a few players connected. Any suggestions please ? 

 

[Ezekil1493]

I have two questions.

1. Is it possible to get married to a companion? How?

2. If I want to sail with an army, every ship I buy I would have to bring it to my main port, then it would allow me to use all ships as long as all of them can hold up to 150+ men?
