How To Be Part Of Fief Elections

[Wigbert FriggleShit]

I am at a loss because for over a year and a half of ingame time, I have not been included in a single election for being awarded a fief. I have sieged countless castles and cities, defeated thousands of enemies, accrued thousands of influence and renown, and I am currently sitting at 2 cities and no castles while the rest of the realm's nobles are sitting at three or more settlements.

What am I doing wrong? I will also accept a command to simply cheat myself some settlements my way as an answer, lol

Without cheating it's a bit of grindy.
You need to increase your relationship with the King and some of the lords to help you.
Best way to this is to fight gang wars in their town, play mini game, do their buggy mini quest and support their clan on the kingdom ui.

Supporting their clan in kingdom UI is a bit double edge sword due you also giving them your influence points. It will definitely make it harder for you to steal their fief.

Gangwar and quest is easy if you are properly equip on gangwar and quest is somewhat unreliable due how buggy most of their quest in the game.

Mini game is easy if your playing Tablut. Tablut is easiest mini game in the game. There is certain limits in mini-game if you are not receiving relationship points on mini game, time to do gang war and their quest.

I also suggest don't join their war. If you already receive a fief just protect that place and upgrade it. You only expand on that territory and hope your kingdom will go to war to your neighbor. Don't get any territory that you cannot protect just give it to someone else except for the king.

Never ever give the king more fiefs due you cannot steal them in politics.

Just farm bandits to give you more influence if you really need money join their war. If you have 1k influence this is the time you siege and capture some territory to make sure you have that territory but you also make sure you have friends that support you.

Or just steal any fiefs to other clans but I believe you need 2k influence to somewhat pull it due there is a possibility you are fighting a stronger clan with more friends and influence than you.

Town building gives you influence.

If you propose a law your castle also gives influence. Same thing with your clan lvl.

There is also an annoying law needed to be removed Trial of Jury if your kingdom have this try to remove this first.

Always undermine your king's policy that doesn't benefit you but you also need to make sure you are friend with the king.

I suggest get a mod the limit the cap of influence due Ai doesn't spend it too much and stealing their territory will be hard.

Not really true it doesnt matter what your relation is to your king to be part of a fief selection and having good relation with other lords only benefits you that they vote for you but keep in mind having the majority of the votes for you doesnt necessary mean you get the castle/city the king always has the last word. Its rather random that you are part of the selection it mostly happens if you take the castl yourself then you have a higher chance of beeing selected. The first time i joined a faction i had 0 relation with anyone and i sieged a castle myself and even tho i had 0% vote the king still gave me that castle.

The best way to gain relations with your lord is to vote 1x with 300 influence.

I do agree if a vassal doesn't have a fief it is somewhat guarantee that vassal could have a fief but you can still denied it if you got influence or the Ai have more influence than you.

It's a bit different in my game. When I capture a town and castle it is somewhat guarantee I could have a fief.

Here's in my game

I have more fief than the empress due I keep denying her to have more fief and be more powerful than me.

As I stated problem with that you also giving them influence. Which could have a problem if you wanted to steal their fief. The more influence and supporter you got compare to Ai there is a chance you can steal their fief except for the king.

So far i can't confirm any connection between having more influence and getting fiefs.

Also even then you still can vote for them.
Its not guaranteed that they get it, even with the highest % or that you could vote for yourself.

The best way to get your fiefs is to get mad merchant skills and then buy all the land off of every single noble.
