2: Power situation of thier faction versus yours. When their faction is ****'d and you're is okay, they are easier to get. The power is the field parties + garrisons (not militia), the more fiefs and clans (parties) your faction has the more attractive you are! 3: Thier relation to thier ruler and thier relation to you. Executing makes everyone hate you, which means they won't join your faction. Then you have to execute more, which makes them hate you more, etc. It's self-perpetuating. I would only start executing if I was planning to eventually kill everyone, or if I was doing it just a few times to eliminate a ruling clan and had a plan to recover relations. First a faction who has lost every single fief and pretty much any military force might still roam the area, but is unable to do anything significant (e.g. battania in my current save has only 1 clan left - and i didn't even kill anyone). Second: you can just kill every single lord in a faction. There's no return from that Once ~half of the horse archers are dismounted or dead, the force becomes much easier to deal with. #2. fastforward Aug 26, 2021 @ 2:59pm. when the enemy army outnumbers yours khuzait is the hardest faction to fight against, but the retreat cheese works even against them, so take sturgian hardened brigands line, the one with javelins on horses Nobles of defeated factions usually still run around the map even when they're the only units in their respective parties, and since the game uses fog-or-war, it can be a bitch to find them, so you have to get lucky and have high spotting and tracking skills to find them quicker. Lords will eventually try to join one of the factions, and since Get yourself friendly with a lot of the other lords, wait for the king to die.. and Presto, you're the new King/Khan/Grand Prince/Emperor. Yeah, but WHEN will they die, they are 73 atm. So long. Well. Randomly in battle most of the time. Varies from run to run. I've had cases where one kingdom switched rulers multiple times in a short span of Basically what you said, starve the fief it answers to. You do get loot, but if it’s worth it depends on what the village produces. If you aren’t looking for loot, It’s much more effective to just stand outside the fiefs gates and stop them from coming in, that way you don’t suffer the relationship penalty. r/Bannerlord. 1st rule: don't kill people from Minor factions. and to answer your question, if you don't want to execute so many but want to eliminate a faction, don't eliminate any and they should desert to another faction. Get high relation with some clans and try to persuade them to join your faction. If you think the price of being captured is so unbearable, you escape like anyone does -- dump all the stuff that slows you down and run. Dump soldiers and make party smaller, dump supplies and gear to make the party lighter, and run like heck. There's no such thing as an "unavoidable battle." This. Take a very small army of you and a few calvalry to be able to catch them. Spotting helps a lot to spot them. Pathfinding helps a lot to catch up to them quickly. Once you take out the stray small armies, it will say faction of rhodocks has been defeated. r/mountandblade. QkLvqm.
