Sword of Damocles questions

[bleach3825]

Sorry if this is in the wrong place or talked about before but I couldn't find anything talking about this..

OK.. So I have taken over a castle about 10 times and not once has the king given it to me.. Should I of never became his vassal or what?  Will he ever say yes and give me a castle? The guy loves me I have done so many quest for him and followed him around to save him in fights and stuff. 

Also, There was a new nation that started up and they only had one place.. Now some time late they have about 25% of the castles and I went and checked them out while they were taking a castle and they must of had 3000+ troops.. It was filled from the top of the screen to the bottom with army's and all at around 100.. It was insane.. is this normal? I'm I behind the power curve or what to take care of them? I can have 74 troops right now and I think im level 19.. I have no castles.


Okay.. So how do I go about keeping castles I take over? Is it the vassal thing or what?  and How do you deal with these new guys have the same amount of troops as all the other nations together.  Thanks.

For starters Sword of Damocles has it's own board where you're better off asking this question, right here.

Basically, just like in native, castles are assigned based on both renown and what holding you already have. If I had to guess I'd say that there was a Lord on your side that lost his fief and so, by default he's given the castle every time as he has no land. I haven't play tested SoD yet, but I'm assuming that if you want the castle you can just rebel when your faction leader rejects your request for the castle and gives it to the other Lord, and take the land as your own, setting up your own kingdom, which you know, is the central premise of SoD.

And the massive army invading is part of the sword of Damocles story line.

In the future it might be worth checking out the mods topic or board before playing it, so you actually know what your playing.
