You are in perfect position to take full advantage of it then. Once you reach clan tier one you can go talk to any noble of any of the kingdoms and ask to become a mercenary of that kingdom and they will quote you a rate that they will pay per influence, I recommend shopping around until you find one at least 20 or above. Regardless of that, there's already many other wage cost reductions and mercenary troops are very unlikely to be the majority of your army, simply because it's very rare to have more than 12 in a single tavern, while when you have progressed in the game, you can easily recruit 18-30 regular troops from town, 9-18 from villages. Once you are mercenary you are effectively part of the kingdom you work for. Any fight you are part of (even against bandits) gives you influence. You also gain influence by stocking garrisons and jailing (donate) prisoners. This can be done by at any employer fort or city. Influence gain from prisoners/garrison is actually way higher than from If affiliated: first you must become a vassal. There are two ways to start your own kingdom: Capture a town or castle and request it be given to you. If your liege rejects you may rebel. If you are a woman and married, talk to your husband. He will support you as a monarch as long as you've got any town or castle as a fief. KiqvHEE.
