Trying to get denied a fief

[Skrujern]

I am a vassal of the vaegirs, and im setting my eyes on an independent kingdom. I built an army and started conquering the nords in order to use their huscarls as my main army later in the game. After killing, throwing epic feasts and generally being a honorable guy i have about 6000 renown, 219 honor, 64 right to rule and are pals with most of my co-vassals. Problem is, I have now eliminated the nords, and has yet to be denied a fief. I hold 3 cities, 4 castles, and about 7-8 villages and I still keep getting awarded everything I capture. Ive tried to support other lords when they are deciding who to support for the fief, but many say they have already made up their mind to support the one who captured it (me).

Is there a way to help getting denied a fief or is this a case for tweakMB?

Stop being an ungrateful *****.

Things are going well for you, why are you complaining? You'll get denied one eventually, just wait.

Until then, play it (I hope you like emoticon jokes).

That's just funny.

Try to become marshall, gain a lot of controversy, capture something, and then ask for it to be given to you, and then just for good measure capture another and ask for it right after, that's the best way I can think of.

that always works for me, capture one straight after and ask for it.
failing that just be a complete fu(king as hole for a month, loot, pillage, rape, denounce lords, attack caravans etc, i have had to do this to get denied, i think doing rude c*nt stuff like that gives you high contrversy.

Whats wrong with being given LOADS of villages and cities? Think about all the Denars you're making!
Its harder for players that have just started out, and have to rely on good ol' traderoutes (although, I quite enjoy trading).

What kind of army do you have? I've never been able to power through the Nords, even when I was playing the Vaegirs, I came up against their elite troops and got my ass "royally whooped" as we Brits would say

6000 renown? How is that even possible? I never made it past 2000.

 

[Boduar]

Going to guess its a tweak to renown gain/loss or something changed in the last patch.

Ohh, quite a response I figured some would label this is a luxurious "problem"

Drowningfish: I will try that, but haven't figured out how to be marshall. If i remember correctly, in old mount and blade you could lobby for marshallship but now i have never seen anything regarding that. I was vassal for the swadians in an earlier game, and they suddenly offered me marshallship without me actually beeing suited for it.

LordDaem: I have used tweakMB to be able to "hang desserters" which allows me to have all companions. I think the companions are my greatest army branch. They are all level 22 now, with 4-6 in ironflesh, powerstrike, powerthrow, weaponsmaster, riding, shield, athletics and trainer. In addition on of them also focus on a party skill. Now they are super hurscarls with elite equipment (shield/1h, 2x thowing w.) and heavy chargers. Before i started steamrolling the nords I gathered some 1000 recruits in wercheg, witch I was awarded after louring 5 lords with me to capture it. Now I can train 1000 recruit into ~850 Veagir Guard in four days.

Akson: I don't know if there has been any patch changes, but i am on day 461, and i hunt down everything that moves with red letters or pillaging lords. I would guess one of the reasons why I got such a high renown is my small army. It's usually just me and my 16 companions. When you win over a large army with a small army (17 vs. 110 searaiders) i believe you get extra renown. The smaller the battle advantage the higher the renown for that battle. and since my 16 superhuscarls cant be killed i just toss them in the fire and usually some actually comes out on top. battled 146 searaiders and had a straight cavalry charge into the thick of it, I barely survived together with Rolf, katrin and bunduk.
