I know a lot of players don't stick to a monotone cultural getup when they play, but a lot of players probably do what I do; try to stick to culturally appropriate armours and weapons for the culture I am playing. I take this mentality with me to smithing as well, where I try to smith and use weapons that suit my characters culture appropriately. But I have some exceptions; I often use animal pelts for shoulder armour when playing as a Vlandian or Imperial. If I play as a Sturgian I may use some Khuzait armour. And if I play as a mercenary or Lord for a different cultural faction than my character is from, I may use a mix of regional armours and use my own culture for a weapon. Example; I played a Nord corsair mercenary for the Empire. I used gilded scale Imperial armour with gilded scale shoulderguards, golden pirate gauntlets and boots, and a brass Aserai helmet with a Nord one handed sword with gilded pummel and handguard. Anyone else give themselves similar cultural restrict...
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.
