Step 1: May I suggest a course of action?Īpproach a lord of your faction - preferably one with a big a*s army laying around, and that doesn’t hate you - and tell him about a “fortress that can be easily taken”. Neutral relations with at least one lord of your faction.Having a fief where you can put garrisons (preferably a city).
The strategy is simple: telling a lord to siege a fortress/castle, letting him start the fight and then help him win, and finally sending him to one of your cities to get his prisoners. It works against all factions and probably on mods too. This guide is meant to help the player conquer as many castles/cities as possible with the minimal amount of recruiting.
