Their traits matter, if they have very good traits and good amount of fiefs, there is absolutely no reason they would just switch sides

Look for somebody with just a few good fiefs that you have high rep with, and then just pay them some good gold

Its a standard response.

t basically just tells you that the amount of gold that would be demanded, for the clan to join you, is too large relative to what you have.

Either you just need to make more money before you start your journey as a king or, more likely, you are trying to recruit a lord that holds fiefs (they can be very expensive).

I would suggest start recruiting by looking for clans without fiefs.

Money is good. But the most basic general strategy is just to take away the fiefs of lords you wish to recruit; before recruiting them.

Interesting.. so i need to declare war on them. take their fief and defeat them in battle then ask them to join me?

Pretty much. Clans with no fiefs are pretty much always open to joining you, no matter their relation to their current lord. Higher tier clans will cost more, so have your wallet ready. They'll also want more fiefs as you acquire more territory.

You cannot recruit clans that have no faction, so make sure you scoop up any you want before the faction loses all of their fiefs.

I'm inclined to think the cost also depends on the actual size of the clan, not just the tier.
Should also check out clans more before recruit. Recruit a clan that got one adult left and 4 kids, not a good choice -)
