If your clan has considerable renown, you can join a kingdom as a vassal.
Joining first as a mercenary helps to build relations. Your clan needs to hit level 2 before you're able to join a kingdom as a vassal. You won't earn any settlements or forts here, but you will be able to acquire military, plenty of items, and prisoners. Influence earned throughout is also turned into coin, which offsets your army upkeep slightly, allowing you to remain in the action for longer.ĭo note that kingdoms your kingdom is warring with will now try and take you down should they spot you alone in the field. You can now join battles, armies, participate in sieges, and earn some serious coin. Its enemies are now your enemies unless you cancel your contract. (Completing the 'Rebuild your Clan' quest also requires this.) Nobody knows who you are and as such you first need to prove your worth as a sellsword. The first step in joining a kingdom is as a mercenary.
It's also a sure way to get into sieges and huge battles. Joining a kingdom is a great way to earn money and fame. Kingdoms are always looking for assistance from mercenaries and new vassals in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, depending on whether they're currently at war.
