Some Questions About Mount & Blade: Warband

Yeah, learning Party skills yourself is a waste of precious XP.
That is what companions are for.
 
If you are unaligned with anyone, how are you to improve relations with a kingdom? I sort of went and raided a Vaegir town, and my rep is now -6 with the kingdom. I tried doing quests for the villages, but it changes nothing. How do I get the rep back up?

Also, how do you make your own kingdom? It's been mentioned a couple times in this thread and I have not encountered anything like that in game (though what I do know is rather limited).
 
Do party skills stack? So if I have 5 Persuasion, and I acquire a companion that has 3 Persuasion, do I now have technically 8 Persuasion or still only 5?

Party skills do not stack, only the person with the highest level of that skill in the party will be used for anything requiring that skill. Personal skills stack though.

You have to talk to a Vaegir Lord and probably pay a bribe. You can only raise your relationship with a Kingdom by doing quests for its lords and joining their side in battle.

If you are without a liege you form your own kingdom if you take a town or castle, and with a liege if you take a town or castle and ask for it but the king does not grant it to you you can rebel and form your own kingdom. However, unless you have good relations with many lords it is extremely hard to convince any to join your kingdom. Right to rule and Honour both make it easier to rule your own kingdom too.

... Ah. I've been wasting a lot of points then... Thanks.

Only problem with that is, is that every time they attack me and if I say "Wait! I have something to talk about!" They respond with "Ah, I just can't do that. No hard feelings."

Ah, that would make sense. Nice, thanks!
 
I'm having a problem with my companions. I have about eight of them, and every few days one of them talks to me complaining about another. As a result, party morale is low, and non-companions have begun deserting the party. I'm now forced to quickly try and upgrade my party members and garrison them in a castle I took over from the Vaegirs just so I don't have my Huscarls or Hired Blades abandon me.

Buying a bunch of foods has helped slightly, but morale is still slightly below average. How do I resolve the companion bickering?
 
Some companions just don't like other companions. Not really anything you can do about that besides not hiring the ones they dislike. And the only way I know of finding out which ones they dislike is to look at the Mount & Blade wiki.
 
...I have no idea how to make my men move the siege tower...
You have to tell your men to follow you. Make enough of them stand next to the tower, and it will get moving.

Bah. Seems like I'll finally have to go on the Wiki just to make sure my party doesn't disband itself to oblivion. Thanks!

That'd make sense. Fortunately I found out it was because I was wielding an archer-only army and they for some reason refused to move in the case of a castle siege unless there was a direct way into the castle. Once I switched over to foot soldiers and cavalry they moved. Thanks.
 
If you tell them to hold their fire, then I think they would follow movement orders. (That said, it would be a turkey shoot for the enemy.)
 
So I made my own kingdom, and I decided I'd give one of my companions a fief. He left the party, he's the Lord of that town now, but... he's nowhere to be found. Where exactly is he? I made him a Lord for the purpose of defending my castle and town as I go out and loot/recruit/acquire more land, but if he's MIA, I sort of can't.

He's probably out on patrol.
 
I've completely taken over the Vaegirs, and even went to war with Swadia for a few days to make King Ragnar happy, but still nobody recognizes my right to rule. I'm not sure what else I can do to win people over. Any ideas?
 
IIRC, the "right to rule" score increased by 3 points per every war one fought (from start to end) as vassal to a King.

So I have to be a vassal to a King in order to gain the right to rule eventually? Will I lose all my fiefs and my personal vassals or will it just be a locked alliance of which the other King is the leader of?
 
Oh dear god my game terribly broke after becoming a vassal. All google results suggest that the game save is forever screwed. Ah well. Onwards to Fire and Sword!

Speaking of which, I took on a beginner quest from the Elder. He wants me to get three bags of salt from Smolensk. This is easy and 100% fine, except... there is no salt in the marketplace. I've tried going to local villages and another town entirely, but alas, no salt. Where do I get it?
