Ok, you were right, this game is WAY easier if you execute everyone

I’ve conquered the map twice being the nice guy, not executing anyone and now I’ve taken the advice that someone on here gave me of executing every single lord I capture and I’ve got to say it makes things WAY easier. I let my vassals do the castle and city conquering and I just go around “hunting” for lords to capture and execute them. I try to target all the adults in a clan until they’re all dead and the clan gets eliminated. Once it’s down to just a couple of people from the ruling clan your armies are free to conquer everything with no need to defend towns or worry about armies sneaking up on you. I’ve executed every single lord I’ve battled since joining my kingdom (up to 250 heads chopped off now) and it has been working really well. Sure everyone hates me, including everyone in my faction but with the right policies the cost of calling and maintaining an army isn’t so bad and once Garios died they still somehow made me Empress.

Comparing this playthrough to my last one I have to say this is way less stressful and frustrating. So if you’re having a hard time making progress, embrace your evil side and execute EVERYONE. Hunting for lords using the encyclopedia to find each member of a clan to wipe them out is really fun.
