Big difference between characters and population/soldiers.

The only way to gain characters is by the charcters you now have issuing the
D2 (influence charcter) order.  This affectively means your only your main
charcter.  To succeed you what a high INF and prestige equalish to or higher
than the target.  If you only have your starting Prestige of 2, then town/
village owners will be hard to get.  Go for non-force owning characters, big
towns are full of them.

You cannot influence pop segs.  You gain population by conquering the force.
If you raid and enslave you end up with some of the pop as slaves which
breed slower and have low morale if trained into soldiers.
