Vassalage Requirements

[caimen]

So I am trying to join the Cossacks, yet I don't have ever see the option to when talking to the Hetman. I have done this just fine in another game without seemingly working very hard to get it.

I have 55 renown.
I have 27 relation with the Cossacks.
I have 45 relation the the Hetman.
I have 3 honor.
The only quest I have in my log is the Black Mace quest.

Is the Black Mace quest stopping me from doing something? The quest is very vague, all I can do is just ask random people about it.

In warband the requirement was 150 renown.

Well I'm at 200 renown now. Still no luck. I need to give up on this game for a while before I break something. I'm worried I've hit some kind of strange bug.

Was it possible to join all the factions in F&S? There was some restriction when it came to Sweden and Cossacs, IIRC, but it might just have been kingdom-forming or something.

 

[caimen]

I know for a fact I joined the Cossacks when the game first came out. Now with the latest patch I have not been able to join.

I ended up following through with the Black Mace quest. I was told at one point I need to join the Cossacks and at the same time join up with the Polish pretender to revolt against the Polish king. My god these quests are either horribly translated or terribly written. Maybe a bit of both. I was able to join the pretender and am now helping him. Still have no way of joining the Cossacks, still have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
