I heard from many people that they like being a merc for the money and stuff, but i dont See the Pro sides... as a vassal you can earn so much more trough citys and stuff. Sure you have to fight and defend your fiefs but its so much more easy to life than being a Merc right? or am i missing something?
I have over 2000 hours in the game (not a flex, just an unhealthy appetite) and I was wondering what you guys do.
I found setting up my own kingdom to be a bit of a faff (recruiting lords, etc). And just being a vassal much simpler.
What do you guys do? Permanent Merc? Merc up until Clan Tier 6 and then pick a flipped city to setup your own Kingdom?
I want to mainly focus on having fun and not having financial difficulties, I know there is cheats but I’d prefer to not use them
What are the options here? I just started as a vassal and have a party capacity of like 130 at the moment.
As you can see Vlandia and the Khuzaits dog horde are pretty equally matched and they went in their usual paths. Me and the Vlandians did the old Vlandian tradition of nailing tree huggers to the trees they held so dear and for the Empire the Khuzaits did most of the work but I did the finishing blow. Because of that many of the Empire and Battanian clans fled to Khuzaits lands and joined them. The Sturgian hate us as much they hate the Khuzaits because I committed war crimes on them during our last war with them and the Aserai are doing what they do best and hiding in their desert so I can’t sue for an alliance. The part of the map where we meet is a literal No Man’s Land except for my city Amitatys which is essentially Cadia form Warhammer 40k. I would also like to avoid head chopping.
I don’t think I saw this before 😂
Btw:
I am on Xbox/War sails - no mods.
Decided to go rage war with some fun tunes in the background.
Is there any difference buying from the menu or actually going into towns and buying from vendors?
Are there any real consequences for leaving a kingdom if I am a vassal? I know there’s some relationship penalties, but is it really a big deal?
Also am I able to claim the reward item for joining each faction or is it just whoever I pick first? For example, can I claim battanias weapon, leave, then join sturgia and get the axe?
I need a bunch of war horses to upgrade my troops, but there are usually only 5 of them in villages, and to upgrade all my warriors, I have to buy up all the horses on the entire map Changed:I'm an idiot and didn't think to check the Khuzait cities
All the notable people in my City like me but I still have a -2 to relations? Why?
I play on 1.3.15
After a while of fighting as mercenary for the southern empire I decide to become a vassal. Despite having been losing the war, Rhagea thought it was a good idea to declare war on the northern empire too.
And despite getting railed, pounded, and utterly shafted by an unlubed, girthy, spiked shaft she decides to declare war on the Khuzaits. So now we're in a war on three fronts with no feasible way to win. So, thankfully since I play with diplomacy with player diplomacy control on, I force peace, start a rebellion, execute Rhagea, take over as emperor.
So to give a bit of context after conquering all of Khuzait for the southern empire and amassing almost 3 million gold I got bored and decided to return to my character’s homeland of Battania to start my own kingdom. I then proceeded to abandon all of my fiefs, run halfway around the world, and right as I was beginning to enact my carefully thought out and meticulously crafted plan I got hit with a sledge hammer to the balls. The rebel faction who I had planned to conquer and steal their city from got retaken by the Battanians right as I got there. As any sane and rational person would I then proceeded to declare war on the strongest faction in the game (Vlandia) under the assumption that me and Battania were going to fight side by side taking back our home from them. They then immediately sued for peace and I was left fighting Vlandia alone.
As it stands, on a good day I can amass an army of about 650 strong. Now that isn’t too bad considering it’s just me and a few companions. I am easily able to defend the single town and castle I sniped from Vlandia at the start of this war. The problem is that I’m unable to take any more territory before their death stack arrives and kicks my shit in along with their lesser lords. Currently we’re at an eternal impasse where all I can do is steal lesser lords and farm influence to get laws and they just hammer my fortress over and over.
I put a banner 15% inf speed on and use them as flanker with a bit of hold fire and timing volley
I tired every, restarting game, closing Xbox. Loaded 100 of times, tried to interact with those party and nothing.
At the caravan menu is see part is disbanding but nothing happens.
About 3 in game months past by now and icons still there.
Oh yes I also send other caravans and disbanded them and it worked fine but the old icons remain.
Anyone know how to fix this on Xbox?
I saw somewhere that this can be fix via a mod but Xbox doesn’t have any.
Thank you in advance
Especially some villages - after playing for like 1500+ hrs I still stumble upon a mesmerizing view from time to time :3 Evening/morning/snow etc. make em look like a completely new area sometimes
