Sweet Realistic Medieval Combat (Mount and Blade)

Yeah I know that, but what do you actually do to rebel? Like what things do you have to do, like talk to certain people or something.

You don't need to talk to anyone. If the king does not grant you a fief you asked for then you get this message that he's providing you with a monetary compensation instead, and you get options to accept the compensation or refuse the compensation (uncertain about this one), or ignore the king's will altogether and take the fief you want and leave the faction. It all happens automatically, and all you can do is keep asking for fiefs, until finally you are refused one.
If you have low renown and relation with the king, it should happen quite quickly, for a high level character it takes time. In my game for instance I managed to get two castles and two cities before I was refused the third city.

Oh... thanks.
But shouldnt I also be going around hiring the help of other lords?

That happens after you have your own kingdom (even if it's just a single city/castle). You can go upto lords, talk to them about politics and then ask their support for the throne of Calradia. It is hard to convince them to join though, and the best way is to let lords from a destroyed faction come to you.

Plus, anytime you feel things are getting too hard, you can go to any faction leader you're not at war with and swear fealty to them, which'll simply make you a lord in their kingdom while you still hold all your fiefs.

[Centurion1]

converting lords is a joke and they need o make it more difficult. if you capture lords and look to your future instead of quick monetary gain you can release them. you will gain honor and a sizable chunk of friendship with them. the only time i ransom lords is early in a war when i need their armies off the field.

honor is key which is why i said not to raze too many villages. with high honor and about 40 or so relation (may be a bit higher) a lord will join your side. also if you capture a lord and talk to him in the battle screen he may be willing to join you if he likes you enough.

also you can make your companions lords

[Hooahguy]

Im pretty sure that if you loot a village that belongs to a hostile country then there is no honor penalty.

[Centurion1]

no there is.

[johnhughthom]

You mean I've never raided a village in all the time I've played M&B for no benefit?

[Hooahguy]

no there is.

You sure about that? Ive been raiding almost constantly and my honor is +23.

[Centurion1]

floris may change something. and i may have been playing too much pop........

[Hooahguy]

It was Native as well. I also had high honor and looted to my hearts content on enemy villages.

[Centurion1]

hmmmm im obviously wrong my bad.

[Hooahguy]

How does one increase right to rule? Right now Im at 12, but I need to get it higher. I already sent out two companions, and Im going to send out more. I have 4 castles and a wife. What more can I do?

Follow Rocco unto salvation:

Me! *Me*! I'm the guy! I know everyone! Their habits, who they hang out with, who they talk to! I've got phone numbers, addresses! I know who they're flower! I know where they live! We could kill *everyone.*

[Hooahguy]

Gah?

[Centurion1]

Gah?

character from the movie boondock saints. classic goof up sidekick character who ends up redeeming himself in blood.

[Veho Nex]

I would post the clip, but it has too much swearing.

[Prussian to the Iron]

does anyone know if ale is worth trading? praven has a huge stockpile for about 60 denars a pop, caught my eye and was wondering if any place buys ale for high prices, and if its high enough to be worth trading

[johnhughthom]

Usually if somewhere has a huge stockpile the price will be low, basic supply and demand exists in M&B. As to where it would be more expensive I don't know, you can usually do an assessment at a city which will tell you where to sell, it should be in the market menu.

To put what they said in plainer english, slaughter everything that moves, including peasants. Focus on one faction and beat the living out of them. When they come crawling to you for peace, accept and you will gain a lot of RTR.

Convincing lords to join you also raises your RTR.

[Hooahguy]

Ok so now my RTR is 15. I just sent out another companion, so it should go up again soon. Time to start scheming.
Ive also began to compile a list of lords who dont like their kings.
But when I go up to them to ask them about their king and then say that "I have something to tell them" nothing happens, as in I dont tell them that I plan to rule.

[rajpoot]

You need a kingdom before you can ask for their support...
That is you need to rebel first, before you can gather them.
This game sadly does not have any underhand methods of doing things...no assassinations, no spies, no killing prisoners...the only gripe I ever had with M&B series.

[Hooahguy]

So if I go to my king and say "I wish to be released of my oath to you" do I lose all my castles and towns?

[Centurion1]

yes.

[Hooahguy]

That sucks. Is there a way to rebel and not lose all your land?

[Centurion1]

try tp take a settlement ask for it and have it revoked guves you an option to splinter

[Hooahguy]

I suppose so. Ill ask for a war, then take a castle. Or a few of them, until Im refused, then Ill revolt.

[Prussian to the Iron]

So right now I have a warband of about 60, entirely Swadian units (I think 14 cavalry, 30 infantry and 16-ish crossbowmen). I initially got in with the Swadians as a vassal, but i decided that I didn't like being restricted by peace between nations, so I renounced that.

Now I'm just roamin around, with not much to do. I think I would like to grind a bit by fighting Sea Raiders and other bandit parties, but I don't have the pathfinding required to catch up to them.

So do you guys think I should join up as a mercenary somewhere again, get rid of some guys and hunt bandits, or play the merchant game? I could do the last 2 in combination as well (and probably would).

[Hooahguy]

Turns out when you cancel your oath with your king you have the option of telling him that you wont give up your lands. Its automatic war, but then again, I want that.
The revolution is on!

Viva le revolucion!

Viva le revolucion!

Isn't it:

Vive la révolution!

On to my game.
I think I'm going to capture wercheg and then rebel since it's easy to defend (I suppose).

Any tips? I started training Nord Huscarls to cap that town.
I already got 25 Mamlukes and Swadian Knights.
