So my this is my first run of the game and in my current game state all of the Empire factions have been just about wiped out. The Vlandians are the strongest, with the Khuzaits, Battanians, and Aserai right behind them. The only other weaker faction left is Sturgia, who has been getting eaten bit by bit by vlandia all game. Now, I pay absurd tribute to the four strongest clans so they don’t just crush my borders (most of my fiefs are in the middle of the map, it was the only choice I had). I’ve learned now that my clans couldn’t do anything meaningful because they’ve been in debt. The clan with the most fiefs in my kingdom is nearly 4 million in debt, a number which I can’t even fathom what to do about. I managed to get another clan out of debt, but they’re sinking back in it because I can’t stipend them constantly.

What’s your favorite stage of the game to play through?
I think mine is the early-mid game when you’re just starting to make it and are having battles with armies ranging from 75-150 troops in size.
Reasons being:
You can see the whole battle easily.
Your character can play a much more decisive role in the combat. You can also notice your companions more.
It’s not an all out brawl- moving a force of 15-20 skirmishers to flank can swing the whole battle. Same with cav, although cav charges remain supreme throughout the game.
Doing quests at this stage is still enjoyable and useful. Questing becomes obsolete once you reach a certain clan rank.
Your character is progressing a lot. Things get a bit stale once progression begins to grind to a halt… as nice as it is cutting swathes through enemy forces, having some challenge is nice.
Every stage has it’s ups and downs though, I would love to hear other opinions on this. Maybe I’ll be inspired to try a different kind of playthrough.
