To many fiefs.

[Suzuki Hiakura]

How do I stop getting nominated for fiefs? Was nice at first, but after 11 in a row and spread all across the map it is getting annoying. I can't use influence to give the fiefs to others, even if I use the max influence, as most the kingdom want me to have them... Should I just take out the garrison and leave them to be taken? I tried letting some rebel, but after the kingdom recaptured them they immediately gave the fiefs back to me... starting to think the game is bugged as I had never gotten so many fiefs before.

You can give away fiefs in the kingdom - fiefs tab.

But the player, or any lord for that matter, shouldnt be receiving every fief. Are you running modded? Have you given yourself large denar sum?

Your clan tier and general wealth will determine how many you receive so its mostly locked behind progression. Distance to owned fiefs also considered.

I have the game unmodded, due to having critical driver issues about a month ago and needing to wipe everything. My wealth was about 20k and rather spotty, sometimes losing about 1k a day when they started giving me fiefs, and my clan tier was only 3 with this started happening. The fiefs are also spread all over the middle of the map, with far distances to most. I did conquer a city before becoming a vassal, if that holds any weight for the AI. Since getting all the fiefs, I tend to get 7k minimum a day, without caravans, and thats with over 8k in wages (mostly max teir garrison at Varcheg, the original city I conquered before joining the Vladians).

Do not give away your fiefs, take away best units from the garrison and enter a battle with them. Do not care about casualties, convert lazy homeboys to sweet loot, repeat it until you have enough capital, positive income, or till you become satisfied. If enemy take away your fief in the meantime so be it, you can take it later, it's better than to giving away early.

OP -- Are you saying you did have mods but had to 'wipe everything'?

Are you sure you got everything wiped?

Lol. I wish I had this problem... I have half a million denars. Clan tier 4. And I could only convince these wieners to let me have one fief and that was probably a guaranteed one after joining the faction. Do you have high reputation with most of the nobles or something? I've started working on that thinking it's what I'm missing. But I don't know

This is a semi-complicated issue. There are multiple Threads from Multiple experienced people outlining "how it works". Based on "experience".

I mention this, because "every case is different", but the "points" made in those threads are valid. I don't even remember all of the points, and I've written a few of the threads. I'm too lazy to go back and re-read what I and others wrote regarding it. I'll go off CURRENT MEMORY, and what I do TO THIS DAY... over and over... Here are the "points" and I will even throw in a few tips to "cheat" the system. If I was struggling with fiefs, I'd learn the points, then figure out how to "game the system" as well.

1- Amount of fiefs owned (If you own 80.. u arent likely to get one. If you own zero, you have HUGE likelihood to receive one).
2- Clan Tier (if you are clan tier 2. and there are 4 clans at tier 5.. who have 0 or 1 fief... and you have 0.. You still MIGHT not be up for vote)
3- Amount of "Members". I'm not sure how this works, but a clan tier 5 with 2 living members, and another with 9 living members, tends to be up for votes with far different frequencies (all other things being equal). The 9 member dude is up for vote more.
4- Relations to King (not sure if this is true... I think it is not, or it has very very little effect. I've played during the RELATION bug, where you rescue a king, or help his party from being wiped out. He says HEY THANKS BRO... then his relation drops to -100. I still was up for votes.. A LOT).
5- Cash: In Ye olden days, if you had a lot of money you were up for vote LESS (far less) than if you had no money. This makes sense, since poor clans need fiefs to support themselves. Rich clans do not. This made getting fiefs a huge huge huge huge ordeal for the first couple years of Bannerlord EA. It is far less of an effect now. If it is even still a factor.
6- Proximity; You own Lageta. Your kingdom is all khuzait with only Khuzait fiefs. Marunath is conquered. you have a very very very very very very high chance for being up for vote. and WINNING, by a lot.
7- Culture : This is theory. It definitely has an effect, but I don't know how much. In other words, you are in aserai kingdom, your clan is Battania. You guys go to war with battania. Marunath is taken, you have a HIGH chance of being awarded it.


Ok... all that being said. Here is the "pro trick".
You are Sturgia (Don't use empire as an example since half the map is empire.. makes it too easy). You are Sturgia and want Sturgia Fiefs. Join Northern Empire. Or Khuzait, or Vlandia... etc. Join as a vassal WHEN THEY ARE ABOUT TO TAKE A STURGIAN TOWN.
you now have zero fiefs. You are up for vote. You will win for sure. Now you have a "foothold" in sturgia lands.
You guys take another sturgian fief. Guess who's up for vote? Yep you. "proximity, and culture". You win.

Sometimes you can get 6-8 fiefs (yeah for real) doing this. You have so many fiefs in a row, that you can't manage them.

Let's do another scenario. you are Battania, you want battanian fiefs. You are in aserai kingdom. You guys fought khuzait, you have some garbage khuzait forts as your fiefs.
You guys take marunath. IMMEDIATELY after the town falls. Go to KINGDOM screen, and give away both forts (empty STASH first. the troops can be easily replaced.. But if you hate your khuzait fiefs, DONT STASH in them. leave it open so u can give it away anything for no loss). Anyone with 0-1 fiefs, will be up for vote for THOSE forts. You now have 0 fiefs. Marunath goes up for vote. You win.

Now, the NEXT battanian fief aserai takes.. you will win it too..

This is a 99.999999% fail safe way to get all the fiefs you want.

Keep in mind, it's not great having a ton of fiefs. If you want to be king you want your vasals loyal and STRONG... having each vassal with a town and fort is the best balance. ! of each.
You sitting on 7 towns, through cheesing the AI as I outlined, or cheating them in. Is a recipe for disaster later on. your dudes will all be dirt poor, and cant afford good troops to keep fighting well. Your late game will be hundreds if not thousands of years.

Anyway.. those points above are the most common factors in being up for vote I remember. And "Give away fief" is the least used mechanic by new people. And it is EASILY the best best best way to get the fiefs u want.

The only mod I had was a multiplayer mod, which turned it into "an mmo" with just players in place of lords, though the mods development was slow so I stopped playing it and got burned out on Bannerlord.

I crudely removed the mod almost a year prior to my computer having crippling driver errors, which cleared the entire system directories in the c drive [program files and program files (x86)] being completely cleared, which is were the game was.
