How to Declare War in Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord

The only way to declare war in the current state of Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord is to raid and loot villages or caravans that belong to the kingdom you wish to fight.

Follow these steps to start a war with the faction/kingdom:

Make sure that your own city is close enough to the faction you wish to attack Raid any village or caravan that is close to the castle or city with the garrison you wish to go to war with Allow the enemy kingdom to attack your city Start the war

If you choose a kingdom that is too far from your own, they will be mad at you, but will not send their troops to attack you.

Lastly, make sure that you have enough troops to withstand the initial attack of the enemy faction, so you can respond accordingly and win the battle.
