To see which vassals are the most recomendable to have in your kingdom, check List of notable lords. Note that taking them prisoner will reduce their relation 5 points before you can make them the offer, so take that into account before tryingВ this approach. You will be given a special option to recruit them, and they'll join your kingdom. Talk to them whilst they're prisoners and if your relation with him is higher than the following number:ДЎ5 + campaign difficulty (0 easy, 5 normal, 10 hard) + number of total centers (1 for castle or village, 2 for town) that the faction the lord belongs to owns +10 if the lord is a duke/dux/caliph/earl -В your persuasion skill - number of total centers (1 for castle or village, 2 for town) that YOUR faction owns This method is the most secure, however, you need to capture the desired vassal in order to be able to attempt it. Just keep trying and you'll get someone eventually. I think there's an element of chance in there as well. On the other hand I've had a guy join me when he had 3/4 as negative responses. I usually don't ask them to join me until at least three of these are good responses. I think its based off how large your Kingdom is and your Right to Rule since it makes sense that if you don't have a large Kingdom/ don't have proper claim to rule then the benefits of joining you aren't worth the risks. 'But my men will understand.' That's the good response. 'I could lose a lot of my reputation.' That's the bad response. I hardly ever pick this.Д¤) I'm not really sure what the last one is based off of.

You can check in the notes who has fiefs and who doesn't. I figure this probably is appealing to Lords who have no land of their own. The more fiefs you own, the more likely they'll agree. It's probably affected by how much of the landmass your kingdom encompasses. These two are aren't really affected by anything, but make sure you stay consistent. Around 40 is when they start agreeing you deserve to be King. This is affected by the right to rule rating. They'll mention something about it on this third block of text. Now this one is most complicated because it is affected by both the choice you make and each choice is affected by different things.Д®ach lord will prefer one of the choices, it should be pretty clear which one after you try it out the first time. Don't promise one guy that you'll support the common people and the next guy that you'll support the nobles.

You can increase this by fighting them and then letting them go, or doing quests for them. This is also affected by their 'friendship' rating thing to you. 'I dislike the king, but I dislike you and your companions more.' if they don't like your company.

'I'd have better standing in my current liege's court.' if they're neutral and 'I like you and your companions more than the king.' if they like you They'll usually say something along the lines of: If you have a lot of heroes and Lords that are honorable, it's easier to recruit honorable Lords. This is based on your Honor rating and what company you keep. In other words, if your Kingdom is pushing on their borders they'll be more likely to say something along the lines of 'I'll be safer with you.' This is affected by how large your military is, and whether or not your Kingdom is close to fiefs they own. When you ask them to join you they'll talk about four different things:ДЎ) Their safety should they join you.
