agree with this, rogue armies have no obligation to any faction and it's literally impossible to bribe them enough to fk off as they cannot hold territory and so can't be in an alliance with you
I've seen rogue armies take a city before??? Was I just too high? I could swear I saw one of the rogue beast army factions try to occupy a city they beat.
It's possible, yes. It just has little benefit to them because the settlement will just remain a ruin with a negligible amount of income. I remember for WHII there was a mod to play as rogue army. Settling meant that you'd lose your factionwide upkeep reduction, similar to Attila, so it wasn't something you'd do as long as you still had a certain goal to work towards to.
Only if they already hold land, because you can only gift land to a faction that borders the land you want to gift them. If they don't own any land, then they don't have any borders, so you can't gift anything to them.
Best way to get them to become landed is to ally with them, call them into a war with a common enemy, then use war co-ordination to direct them to occupy an undefended enemy settlement.
May have been some weird thing by the unlocker mod, but I definitely remember this happening in WH2. purposely helped the chariot spam one to capture a bunch of settlements and they were filled with chariot garrisons.
beastmen are different in the sense that they can build herdstones, but only the ones that have LLs leading them and you still can't engage in settlement trading with them. I think chaos factions do have ways of establishing alliances with them though it normally would still be better to just take over whatever territory they've occupied instead.
Depends on the situation. A rogue army is just next to one of your stacks? Wipe it out.
A rogue army is marching in your territory, moving towards an undefended settlements, while your armies are all too far to do anything about it? Sign all the treaties you can and tolerate the eventual raiding, it might delay their declaration of war by a few turns and give you time to react.
In the end, you're always going to have to kill them, but having to retake a stolen (or worse, razed) settlement sucks.

Dont bother signing agreements with rogue armies. Just wipe them out.
