Mount & Blade Warband How I became a Vassal enjar ( 64 ) in mountandblade. 7 months ago (edited) Since I have early goals to work with a king and build myself up a bit I thought it is best to get some early quests out of the way and become a vessel to the kingdom I started with.

(I have no source for this, but I did capture a great city alone and the king gave it to me directly). If you conquer a castle yourself, like when conquering a village or fief, you can ask your king to give it to you and if they don't you can either renounce your oath and fiefs, renounce your oath alone and take your fiefs and the one you just captured thus causing you to rebel, or you can take a payout. Now i asked it again, and because he already gave it as a present to another 'friend', he was able to give it to me.I would suggest trying to capture one alone and you should have a higher percentage to get it. So then it was the second time i conquered the castle alone (This time was easyer because there were only recruits present in the castle, and i gave them free passage if they left). But because i was a nobleman i let it slide, now the fun part was that about a few moves after the castle was again under enemy control. When i finally captured my first castle the king said he would prefer it to give it to his friend instead of me. In my time i had 3 little fiefs, no castle and no large city. The more the king likes you the more chances you have of him giving you the castle you conquererd.

In order to take control of a castle, you must.With an enemy castle.you have the option to besiege it and claim it for your own.There are other ways for a faction to capture a castle in Warband other than just besieging it. To quote:Castles are found all over Calradia, and each one has a nearby village. Don't count on the king giving you one otherwise unless your reputation with him and the other lords are all super high and you manage to convince them to support your cause.If the castle near your village is already owned by a lord (almost 100% of the time it is), then you are out of luck, you can't get that one unless an enemy faction captures it and you retake it. Unless you've just recently been rewarded a fief, the King will almost always grant you the town/castle you've just captured. Those places usually have a rather weak garrison so you should be able to take it without too much trouble.When you capture a town or castle, you can make the request to your king that you want to keep it. Keep an eye out along the borders where towns and castles frequently change hands. The best way of getting a castle or town is to capture one yourself.
