Alliances in Viking Conquest
When playing as a king or queen, how do you ally other factions? Currently playing as the Queen of Mierce. I have very good relations with West Seaxe, and the Brytenwalda has recognized me as a Queen, but whenever I send a messenger asking for an alliance, he never wants to meet the "lowly messenger", and there's no option when I'm talking to my Minister (Solveig). My relation with West Seaxe is 35.

35 is not a very high relation. You should be able to get it higher by declaring war on the same enemies, and helping their lords in combat, or saving their civilians.

Also, I'd strongly recommend sending a nobleman as messenger, and making sure their persuasion is as high as possible. Unfortunately, I cannot think of any companions that are both noble and very charismatic after the latest meganerf.

They are only at war with the Tribe of Osraige (or whatever it's called), which is located in Ireland and none of his vassals are attacking. My only option is to save their civilians from bandits.

How do I send noblemen?

Try to ask your Minister to send or dispatch something idk (your companion is needed for that not a lowless messenger) I was trying to look for some the same problem with you in here. Cause I also want to make an ally with other kingdoms but idk how.

Hi guys, can someone please explain to me what the exact requirements are to ally with a faction? I have the same Problem with East Engle, I am a pagan king, he is a christian, got 39 relation with their faction and 14 with their king. He has recognized me as a king but he also doesnt want to speak with the lowly messenger... My Right to Rule is 45

Don't know why you can't do this with your minister.

But anyway the only way to make an alliance is where you send messages from the host of the mead hall(tavern), you also have to have the king of that faction close to the town you wanna send message from.
Only then do you get alternative to do diplomacy like how you can send gift or other stuff.

Declare war, make peace and lastly propose and alliance.
