how to become king of swadia

[[BRE] Vauquelin]

i joined the kingdom of swadia but can i become king like king Harlaus? or is that not possible

[Ubertoaster]

I believe you cant become king of a nation. But you can always create your own and take all of Swadias fiefs

Everything is possible in this game

You need your kingdom first.Try to conquer castle or town when you are not hired or vassal.Then you can create your faction.

I think you only get a income from the Towns/Villages they pay taxes and such. I recommend the Diplomacy mod if you are planning to rule a kingdom it helps with certain features such as :
Sending out recruiters to recruit soldiers and adjusting taxes better

that mod seems really cool, do i need to begin a new game to add teh mod or does it just add while i still have this save?

You get income from castles, but it's not much compared to towns. The income of a castle appears to be linked to it's village, by which I mean if it's associated village gets raided, the castle doen't appear to do very well finacially for a while.

I'm not a fan of castles and don't usually accept more than one while with a faction, because it's easy to lose money with them if you have a good garrison, or once you have too many fiefs and tax inneficiency kicks in. When running my own kingdom, I give them all away to lords, so long as I have a town.

on OSX here so maybe Linux or Wiin users can chime in for platform specifics - check the Steam workshop for Diplomacy it will tell you how to install and where to get the mod files as they aren't on Steam.

For OSX you need to do the install manually
- navigate to the Modules folder (*instructions below )
- duplicate the Native folder - call it what you want though Diplomacy might be good.
- click on the diplomacy.exe file you downloaded (you may have to install this[the-unarchiver.en.softonic.com] to deal with the archive format ) then grab enerything from the folder it expands and drop it into the copy of Native you just made

Don't forget to select "Diplomacy" in the launcher options

To get your saved games to show up, manually copy your native saved games into the mod folder, on OSX they're here:

/Users/<YOUR_USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/MBWarband/Savegames

if you've just installed M&B you'll only see a folder called "Native", if you haven't run a Diplomacy game do so (don't forget to save) to get the mod to make its save folder (or you can do it yourself though the naming is important) then copy in the save files you want to use or if you've no idea what "sg13.sav" is, copy them all and delete as necessary through the ingame menus

*finding M&B in steam:
- go to your steam library window
- right click on the M&B app name in the list which opens a menu, look for "properties", click that
- look for the tab that says "files" then look for "browse local files" which will open a finder window to the folder containing Warband

BS. Castles yield gold.

also, how much RTR shoudl you have when starting your faction? I only read "enough" all the time. Is there a related numerical value?
