OP • 4 yr. ago. Sadly I don't think it is possible. However, what I ended up doing was just building an army of about 50% top tier archers and 50% top tier infantry and I was able to roll over castles with twice as many defenders as attackers. Once you take your first castle you can form armies as you'll have your own Kingdom. true.
I thought i could talk with my companions and make them lords, but it doesn't give me the option when i talk to them. You can talk to any Lord from any faction and try to persuade them to join you (they will become a clan within your Kingdom). Your companions are a part of your Clan and you can set them as Governors of a fief, or gift them a nQYxmn.
