Martial - You will not have a relation boost with them because of high honor, but they make pretty decent lords. They are good people and will like you simply because you have high honor. Upstanding and Goodnatured - These are the best ones to have.

Will affect things like fief distribution, helping the villagers of their fiefs, among other things: This may seem too much of micromanagement, but: Everyone likes me and I don't even throw any feast!Įach lord has an own personality, which makes them better or worse to have in your Kingdom. Own the village, go to the Chamberlain, change the tax to 'very low' and wait 1-2 weeks. If they don't agree to exchange a village for one near a castle is because its prosperity is too poor. So you basically have 2 lords (1 goodnatured/upstanding + 1 martial) working together and defending the same place. One final point is that also using the 'exchange fiefs' strategy I am able to re-locate the goodnatured/upstanding lords for all the villages that a castle owns. Using the 'exchange fiefs' and 'call the vassals' strategies described below you won't get a relation penalty for giving each martial lord a castle, but a relation boost with everyone for giving a village first and then exchanging to a castle. Martial lords I just leave the ones I can't give a castle with no answer, so the waiting for one can last a lot of time Martial Lords on the other hand could matter so they should have more troops, which is what a castle offers - it basically double the number of troops of the Lord.Īlso, I make the following policy: ALL the goodnatured/upstanding lords are accepted.

Of course, goodnatured/upstanding are very good guys and should deserve a castle but if they get defeated your relation with them is so high that it won't matter much. Not that calculating are that bad, but there is enough martial lords for you to not need them. The rest of the lords personalities are refused. The remaining of the Villages and all the Towns for me. 1 Village and no Castle for each goodnatured/upstanding Lord.

1 castle and no villages for each Martial Lord. Note that this applies to M&B Warband 1.153 and Diplomacy 4.3, I don't know if anything was changed on later versions.įINAL UPDATE: Due to the high enough number of Martial lords, I've changed a little my strategy from the post below: Hopefully someone that reads may at least understand my way on how to handle Vassals. Instead of making someone to read the entire topic on all the discussions and conclusions, I decided to update my first post.
