Vlandia Overpowered?

[TheFutonWarrior]

Is it just me or does Vlandia always seem to kick everyones asses? they were on a two front war against the Sturgions and Battannians and completely slapped them around they couldn't even capture one place from the Vlandians lol

Vlandia is absolutely busted af, similarly so is the empire, the rest of the factions are garbage.

I start a new game by taking 20 troops heading to aserai and spanking them for 20+ renown per fight because vlandian troops can 1 v 4 aserai all day. You can hit clan rank 3 in under 2 hours, with this method, also itll make you rich doing it. Another thing is, that battania or aserai are both super easy to take castles from, 100 vlandia or empire can win against 250 or so aserai, battania with no problem.

Damn yeah that's busted, i tried playing as Sturgions,Kergits,Battania, and Aserai and they beat all their asses lol only one i did ok with was the Khergits they had some busted cavalry for skirmishing their knights.

Yes if you side against vlandia you basically need to join the empire or you gonna get steam rolled, i found even having my own kingdom and a bunch of vassals, that unless you are personally fighting battles against vlandia they eat them all up.

The only other faction i found able to truly fight vlandia is the khuzaits but its kinda marginal.

The sergeants and cav are just so strong. and vlandia crossbows are also strong.

Though empire has better archers imo, the palatine guard are really really good.
The khuzaits horse archers can make vlandia flinch though so give that a shot.

Vlandia in my game is real tame. They are quiet weak actually, they have so many hideouts in their corner i see them regualry get captured by searaiders or so. Now 1 year into the campain they lost 1 city to battania and took a castle somewhere else.

Battania on the other hand, they are a real fighter, they where huge early on, got reduced to 3 cities, and now are back up and have 6 or 7.
Same with southern empire for me, they been the biggest faction in "my" midgame, now they are no longer.

Only thing of note was that the asarai got hammered real quick, it seems they been at war with south and west empire at once and they did not recover from that in my game.

Their location is quite good strategically, their troops are not OP imo.

Vlandians got BTFO by the Battians on my first character but that was before the snowballing fixes they made. The character I started last night they seem to be doing better but aren't mowing down the battanians or sturgians

[Heruwulf]

Meanwhile my campaigns seem to be Battanian, Aserai or Khuzait supremacy.

Edit: Before the fix.

[Vash]

♥♥♥♥, it my campaigns it's always the Battanians. Took to using their units myself. Crippled the Sturgians with those spearmen.

[Actionjackson]

I think they did a quiet good job with balanceing such a large dynamic system. When you start you can not say who will win, nobody has an inherent advantage.
You personally would need to play at least like 50 games to have a large enough sample size to see a "trend" of what is happening, if one faction keeps wining more often than others.

If in one game of yours vlandia is OP, that may be it, but it is not cause the faction is inherently OP but because of the dynamics involved in the system.
