I always get to the same point in my campaigns, be they story or sandbox, where I simply cannot seem to get much further.
It's usually around the time I've hit clan tier 2 or 3, and whether I choose to join a faction or not makes no difference.
If factionless, I either wander the map aimlessly doing odd quests, tournaments, getting a wife etc, but never seem to be able to increase my party size by any meaningful amount, or progress towards my stated goal of starting my own faction over joining and uplifting another.
If I do join one, it's more or less the same except my brain-dead faction leader is running around declaring wars he cant win, or getting 90% of his nobles captured, losing cities etc. This leaves me roaming the map, unable to catch up to parties weaker than me that I can stomp, but unable to do anything about armies numbering in the hundreds that do all the enemy's heavy lifting. Eventually, the faction is either destroyed, or I just lose interest in several hours of monotonously fighting the inevitable.
I've got 1000 hours in this, so I'm hardly new but I wouldn't call myself seasoned as I haven't progressed past the "homeless roving bandit" phase for quite some time now. I did manage to get a faction off the ground once but was immediately declared on by everyone and stomped into the ground within about 30 irl minutes, so I've never really managed a faction or anything, but I'm damn good at fighting, just not with larger parties or armies, I'm not very experienced with that.
I thought I'd make a post to see if I can get some help to get through this wall, as I feel I'm missing out on half the content.
