Condition: First, I do use mod & cheat, but what this about doesn't related to this problem. In this campaign, I choose to pledge loyalty to Rhagaea, so my status is a vassal.
Summary: I conquered several settlement, if it's city, I vote for myself. If castle, I try to vote for another nobles. In my campaign, I conquered several castle, but I didn't want it, yet it given to me because I still doesn't have any fief, so the chance always lean to me. Short story, I own 2 cities & 5 castles. I know that the odds are getting lower the more you have as the kingdom mandate to share between nobles. So I return all the 5 castles I had to the kingdom and through voting, the other nobles now owns it. Now I only have 2 cities and the others nobles had a lot of fiefs, hoping my chances are gonna return higher. So I take another town and hope my chance in the voting heavily lean on me, yet it's not. In the voting screen, the 2 other nobles who already had 1~2 town plus 3~4 castle, mean they had 5 fiefs, Noble A have 60% vote, Noble B have vote 40% and myself 0%. I'm surprise because I only have 2 fiefs, yet I have no support vote on it. I still not think it's bugs or failed design, so I keep conquering settlements and still, my vote chance are 0%, even though the other 2 nobles in the voting already had 4~7 fiefs. Coincidentally, I look at the savefile information only to see that my Fief # are still 7 !
Thus my conclusion/guessing about this is the failed design on returning fief to the kingdom. When you do, the game still thinking you own those fiefs AND the nobles who got the fief from returning fief voting didn't. So when I only have 2 fief, it's still say I have 7. The nobles who get it, let say he's only have 1 before, now owns 5 fiefs, but the game still think he only own 1. So he will always had advantage support on the next fief voting.
How to Reproduce: Try to have +5 to 8 castle or town, simply return 3/4 of your fief to the kingdom & get another nobles get it. Save the game, then check your save game information - Fief # (bottom right in save/load screen). Conquer another settlement, the odds to get another fief in the voting are close to nothing. Using 100 influence points only get you +20%.
