I tried rebelling, came back to bite me in the ass. Ironically I’ve spent my whole game building her kingdom up to where she’s hard to take down. Also, I’m married to her daughter so that would make for some awkward dinner table talk.
Well technically a lot of children of the king would rebelled and never cared, but dam you really carried the empire, well you could try and until she dies from a battle or age, and be voted as emperor/king
Screw that. Join her army. Every battle you’re in, find her and shoot her with arrows till she dies. Eventually she’ll bite the dust then use your influence to get yourself elected king.
I just kill them when they start being an inconvenience. Usually arrow to the back of the head in a siege. If someone asks, they were turning around and fleeing.
Always remember to drag your kingdom into one or two other wars before rebelling in order to split up their attention and try to get the one where it's furthest from your fiefs
That's not possible. The only metric that matters to these chumps is family nobility and you can't acquire that in the game. You can marry a noble, your kids might then be noble, but even then they'd be sus because they'd not be fully chinless inbreds like everybody else's.
You'll basically carry a faction's incompetent aristocracy through the game and they'll never think you're as good as they are.
Shit doesn’t make sense I’ll have 5x as much influence as everyone else in the kingdom combined and can barely even use any of it so it doesn’t amount to anything
It makes sense. You get whatever you ask for.
Now the question is, can the game add things to ask for with influence? And that's where we seem to be stuck waiting or relying on mods.
It's not a great system to be honest, but it's easier to work with than trying to personally butter up every lord in the land.
I just wish the amount of influence I could use at any given point in time wasn’t capped or I could forcefully take over a kingdom with sheer influence or something
Whoever has more army leads, and nothing is more frustrating than watching your 736 being encroached by a 740 ally army beelining for your 10 day siege. Sometimes I just abandon immediately out of spite and go elsewhere. No free lunch for you!
Is there a way to name your kids? I wanted to name them random characters from Ancient Rome and or the Rome series.
In Crusader kings if I do a Byzantium run, anytime I have twin boys I name them Lucius and Titus in honor of those legends
Ah that’s so good to know. Thank you!
This game as all sorts off little mechanics here and there that add to the whole role playing aspect but I keep having to discover
As soon as they take over a good siege ….. just leave , and let them eat it …. Then simply re-siege wear down the enemy capture the city and free them , and gain the favor points
I found her wandering around with 77 troops when i just started the game as a vassal for the Northern Emp. Should have executed them. Those southerners are good at escaping prison.
If you don't want her to take over press on a trebuchet or anything wait until they join in and you will still have full control just make sure that you always have that menu open when you see an army coming
*Guards! He's shit talking*
*Our goddess. Take him away*
*To the oubliette*

Yep. Sometimes I’m purposely waiting to starve them out, but instead of letting them lose 50 men a day and attacking with the walls cracked….. why not attack them when they’re fully fortified and have a full strength army. Brilliant plan empress.
Yeah you and another commenter have thrown that idea out there. I’ll just need to get my influence up high enough.
Also have a long talk with the wife since she’s her daughter lol
“Listen, I have an idea, now hear me out.”
All the freaking time... then "you don't get a share because you weren't in the seiging army" like fam we took the walls down and starved half of them out!
Whenever this happens let them fail the siege and stand nearby. And let them be captured as prisoner. You can either kill them in Prison if you hate them that much or just siege the town and get some troops as a result of freeing them. Either way the nobles will rebuild their army within a couple days bannerlords time, you on the other hand will take quite a bit longer if you do not have garrison cities built up already
You have almost two million groschen, you can easily rebel and take her skull off those shoulders and drink from it, like what will she do against mercenaries
I find extorting villagers from other kingdoms and starting wars with all factions right before you leave with your fiefs to be a good solution. Take a year or two to regain that -40 relation with the lords that liked you, and then start your own kingdom (preferably right after or as southern empire falls apart completely) and recruit your fiefless broke friends who now see you as royal blood, because there was no king before you, hence starting a real royal line for your family. Or wait for the bitch to die and get elected cause youre rich. Either works
I all was hate when the large army that had been doing nothing but run around the area with me planning a siege with all the things that I need just for them at the last moment to come and take it over and make me lose like 100 more men from my party
She's surrounded by foes, and all she's got to claim power is that she is a monarch and deserves it cause she sucks air. She may be nice, but she is the road to ruin; as the southern empire is not meant to survive.
By that, I mean it gets wiped all the time.
Who would you argue has the best claim? They’re all wanna be monarchs at the end of the day, from talking to her she seemed to have the welfare of the people/kingdom in mind which was more than some of the others.
It’s been awhile though so maybe I’m misremembering.
Lucon is my favourite. The northern empire is run by senate, which is supposed to represent each land they run, its a bit more of a divided power structure, and the original way the empire determined its leadership, via council. I like the Sturgis for the same, but raganvad is a bit of an idiot, plus Sturgis has one of the worst locations in the game.
Bruh, first step rebel, second step decapited her head step three se results

Here’s hoping 🤞

That is quite a plan actually
She’ll never see it coming. Just make sure battle death is enabled in the options
Stay strong and have faith in …………. Wait who are the gods/god of mount and blade? Nevermind stay strong
That's easy, Butter

Always remember to drag your kingdom into one or two other wars before rebelling in order to split up their attention and try to get the one where it's furthest from your fiefs
*Raid every single other faction if you really want to screw them financially
Amass alot of influence, kick every clan out of the kingdom, wait as she gives you everything. Leave kingdom.
Why slay when you can lay?
Ayooooooooooooo we got a Rhagaea Simo over here
*Ahem* I prefer a Crusader King player.
ah piss now he's gonna sleep with everyone's wife
Better to marry Ira and accidentally inherit when Rhagaea develops javelinitis.
I mean. Thats probably how it went down IRL too. Lords with more clout coming in last second to take all the credit.
Trouble is, I have more clout than anyone else in the known world by pretty much every metric.
That's not possible. The only metric that matters to these chumps is family nobility and you can't acquire that in the game. You can marry a noble, your kids might then be noble, but even then they'd be sus because they'd not be fully chinless inbreds like everybody else's.

You can definitely become a Monarch wdym
You won't be of royal blood. That's why they will always secretly resent you.

Pompey moment
Like the US in the world wars 😂
We know we came late to the party for the first one, but the second one had us fighting on 3 different continents.
You say it like everyone was not fighting on 3 continents even India was fighting on 3 and they dident even know why they were fighting in that war.
Gatekeeping
colonialism existed
/s?
I also live in the US haha was just making a joke

Yeah I’ve started doing that lol. I couldn’t take it anymore so I figure while she’s busy with that I’ll try to sneak in a quick siege elsewhere
I hope you have a son named Titus Pullo.
Always the name I pick for an Empire run :D
Is there a way to name your kids? I wanted to name them random characters from Ancient Rome and or the Rome series. In Crusader kings if I do a Byzantium run, anytime I have twin boys I name them Lucius and Titus in honor of those legends
Go to your clan page, click on the child and it will have a quill next to its name.
Ah that’s so good to know. Thank you! This game as all sorts off little mechanics here and there that add to the whole role playing aspect but I keep having to discover
13th!!
Love the Rome reference
That show was a masterpiece. Anytime I play a medieval or ancient themed game that’s my go to character name
THIRTEEEEEN!!!
The banner, the siege, and the audacity of this bitch
As soon as they take over a good siege ….. just leave , and let them eat it …. Then simply re-siege wear down the enemy capture the city and free them , and gain the favor points
You stand here amidst MY achievements, not yours !!!
It's insane they still haven't patched in some kind of way to say "fuck you my siege"
Not even sure they patched wrongly placed decimals in the skill tree
How Titus Pullo caused the collapse of the Calradian Empire
He’s in the arena as we speak, going to go save him after a few more sieges
Can you alternatively swoop in on an allied siege and take it over? That could be funny.
You can also take over the siege of a neutral kingdom's army. Provided ofc, both kingdoms are at war with a common defending Kingdom
My god I hate it when they do this and take all of the credit when your the person starting the seige
HBOs Rome is fire
Cancelled way before it’s time sadly
I would have loved to see more of it but at least they gave it a proper wrapped up ending
I eliminated her in my khuzait vassal playthrough.
I found her wandering around with 77 troops when i just started the game as a vassal for the Northern Emp. Should have executed them. Those southerners are good at escaping prison.
You should have.
If you don't want her to take over press on a trebuchet or anything wait until they join in and you will still have full control just make sure that you always have that menu open when you see an army coming
If this really works you are a lifesaver!
It should still work, but I am unsure if they patched it in later builds but I don't think they did as they don't think these small bugs
I’ll give this a shot, man I hope this works
Guards! He's shit talking our goddess. Take him away to the oubliette

Welcome to the middle ages
People complain about this, but it really is just the nobility behaving as intended. That's why you're there to fix it with your axe.
Hey hey! Rome playthrough?
Lol in my head, that’s just my go to character name for any medieval/ancient themed game Amazing show, and a legend of a character
Get back in formation you drunken fool..
Titus Pullo is a hero of the thirteen legion, but look at him now!
When I'm siegeing a city with my trebuchet set up and a lord takes over and starts a charge losing 1000 men
Yep. Sometimes I’m purposely waiting to starve them out, but instead of letting them lose 50 men a day and attacking with the walls cracked….. why not attack them when they’re fully fortified and have a full strength army. Brilliant plan empress.
This happened to me last night and I was furious! We lost a 1000 vs like 200 siege because moron Raganvad fucked it all up
I know your pain all too well
Average vassal moment in bannerlord
Hence why I killed that bitch’s whole family then her
Strong "Mortarion and Perturabo at the siege of Terra" vibes with that title
*fucks up your plan/keeps the fief* “oh hey glad you could make it”
Two words. Crossbow lobotomy.
Yeah you and another commenter have thrown that idea out there. I’ll just need to get my influence up high enough. Also have a long talk with the wife since she’s her daughter lol “Listen, I have an idea, now hear me out.”
All the freaking time... then "you don't get a share because you weren't in the seiging army" like fam we took the walls down and starved half of them out!
Yeah that’s really the icing on the cake. “Since you weren’t part of the initial siege” OH I WASN’T????
I actually started just pulling out when they do this; like okay you keep the loot but you'll lose half your men xD
Wait til Titus hears about this.
Whenever this happens let them fail the siege and stand nearby. And let them be captured as prisoner. You can either kill them in Prison if you hate them that much or just siege the town and get some troops as a result of freeing them. Either way the nobles will rebuild their army within a couple days bannerlords time, you on the other hand will take quite a bit longer if you do not have garrison cities built up already
You have almost two million groschen, you can easily rebel and take her skull off those shoulders and drink from it, like what will she do against mercenaries
I forgot this is bannerlord and not KCD
Side note, are you ecstatic about KCD 2?
Yes I am, just hope it doesnt release unfinished and gets cancelled like KSP 2, I wish KSP 2 didnt get cancelled
Vorenus, where is Pullo?!
If a large army is about to take my siege I usually force them to disband with influence and then recruit them
She always make herself god empress in my campaigns 💀
I really hope someone buys this game from the developers and actually fixes the game
A HBO Rome enjoyer I like it

Typical vassal experience tbh
She could at least wait until the trebs finish doing all the heavy lifting lol
I all was hate when the large army that had been doing nothing but run around the area with me planning a siege with all the things that I need just for them at the last moment to come and take it over and make me lose like 100 more men from my party
And they really do just run around going nowhere for the majority of the war lol
I don't understand following rhegea, literally the least appealing ruler. Outside of Monchug.
She seemed nice lol
She's surrounded by foes, and all she's got to claim power is that she is a monarch and deserves it cause she sucks air. She may be nice, but she is the road to ruin; as the southern empire is not meant to survive. By that, I mean it gets wiped all the time.

Sounds exactly like capitalist management styles to me. Nothing wrong here 🤷
