This can be difficult as defenders of towns and castles are generally hundreds strong and if you are not a member of a faction, you will not have any allies to help you. Personal fiefs can be obtained by capturing a town or castle while not a vassal of any lord. In Mount&Blade: With Fire & Sword, due to the game's historical setting, fortresses as well as towns are given to fixed lords, while villages are still randomly distributed.įiefs can be acquired in several ways, most of which involve capturing fiefs after a siege. Towns are typically assigned to powerful lords and do not change unless the lord that owned it defects or is exiled. Every time you start a new game, the ownership of villages and castles is randomized with only a few exceptions.
