I'm playing with the Diplomacy mod. After playing for some time (1200+ days) I decided to finally split from the Vaegirs. I had it all well planned before making that decision and it all seemed like it would be peaches and cream. Pathfinding, Medicide and Leadership skills maxed out, Three towns (Dhirim, Uxhal and Praven) with some castles all relatively close to each other. Right to rule is 99 though I think it's a bug because even though I did things where it notified me of points added it doesn't seem to go beyond that number. All lords run from me except when they are in a group and I can beat them with mostly no losses because my army is mostly made up of Knights, applies to Kings as well. Also relationships close to 100 with most of the lords in the game. All my towns are well defended with two of them having 430+ trained units and one of them something like 343. A lot of money as well (260k)
The biggest problem is all kingdoms except Rhodoks (so far), and Sarranids (which were defeated) declaring War. Maybe I fucked up by neglecting relationships with kings which are all in the negative except for Yaroglek who's at number 20. All others besides Graveth (-26) are at -100.
A small but annoying problem is Sultan Hakim with the commoners raiding a village. He doesn't have any soldiers besides himself which makes him impossible to catch. I decided it would be funny to knock him out earlier gaining -1 with the commoner faction which was apparently enough for him to become a pain in the ass. Propably a fault of the mod
So far I managed to recruit 1 lord, Matheas which gave me Curin Castle and one other lord renounced his allegience to the Vaegirs to join me but he's nowhere to be found at the moment. Seeing how high my relation is with most of the others save for the nasty ones I think more of that can happen with time but the situation right now is looking a bit shaky.
What I wanted to ask is do all kingdoms start like this naturally and things even out slowly by themselves considering high relations or am I simply royally fucked because of oversights leading up to my situation? If I continue beating all the armies attacking will I have an opportunity for a truce regardless of relationships with the kings? Do lords that like you a lot frequently decide to join you of their own accord? Sorry for the sheer lenght of the post but I'm feeling a bit lost here and looking for guidance.
