You won't make it far alone, though, so be sure to put some points into the Charm skill and try to recruit nobles from other factions to be your vassals. If you went with Arzagos, you can own any settlement.Īnd that's it! You will now have access to the Kingdom screen and the ability to pass laws using influence. Faction ownership is separate from culture, so it doesn't matter what faction you captured it from. You can check the culture of a settlement by seeing what kinds of troops are available to recruit there. If you went the Imperial route, you will specifically need to own a settlement of Imperial culture. This will require you to have at least Clan Rank 3, 100 soldiers under your command, and to own at least one settlement. If you want to wear the crown right away, you'll want to choose the independent option. You will then be given a choice by either Arzagos or Istiana to support an existing faction or start your own. This choice is permanent, so don't take it lightly! You can side with Arzagos and try to destroy what is left of the Empire, or you can side with Istiana and try to restore it under one banner. Once you have all three pieces of the Dragon Banner, you have a choice to make. These camps aren't much more difficult than a typical bandit camp, but they can be tricky if you don't bring the right troops. Since Bannerlord doesn't let you pick which troops to bring, it might be helpful to hand-select the ones you want ahead of time and transfer the rest of your army to a castle you own or another clan member's war party.
