Stop snowball by recruiting lords from the biggest fraction? ... NOPE :)

[buca]

Hi everyone,

I just tried to stop snowball by trying recruiting lord from biggest faction(we are in peace). Yea, this fraction has Total Strenght 10733 vs my 960, but after I persuaded the Lord and offered him 510k + whole my inventory (100k) I only met 2/3 of his requirement. :/

Isn´t this little OP?

Well, what reason does that lord have to switch to a kingdom 1/10th the size of his current one, which will likely atttack that small ant anyway soon.

He probably also has 1M+ denars himself...

I stop snowballing by installing the mod that decreases prisoner escapes and then sticking all captured prisoners in my dungeon =]

I tried defeating them when they were alone and then executing every last one of em. Sadly I became really unpopular with my own faction because there were a lot of cross-faction friendships going on... despite the fact that these are are literally trying to destroy us

I have actualization and it looks like another non setup game mechanics - looks like all lords(clans?) need same amount of denars for recruiting . ...I tried to recruit another lord from another fraction(we are in war now - quest). This fraction has two last cities and streight is my 950 vs 1350 theirs. This lord has 40 army, I have 350 army.

It looks like I need 1 mil. denars for recruiting (I had "only" 720k + 150k ).

1 000 000 000 denars for recruiting 1 lord(maybe clan - dont know) looks for me too much.

Yeah, this is the dumbest part of all. Literally war, but god forbid we actually kill someone or raid a caravan for the money we need to keep fighting.

I guess the efficient way currently is to execute their lords while they are at war with other factions to mess up their situation. Then find a suitable time to make peace. I don't think the faction will spawn new clans when they have a minimum of 4 or 5 lords. You can just let them keep the weaker ones (lower clan level).

Yea, you recruit the whole clan. That's why you can only talk to clan leaders about this. Well then, one more thing that needs fleshing out :>
