best kingdom to serve?

[If I lose this ill ♥♥♥]

im between the vladians and the western empire. Norther empire has been reduced to one last major city

[たぬきがお]

Vladians are easily the best. Being part of their kingdom is literally playing the game on easy mode.

Vlandia is easy mode, best position on the map, far away from khuzaits and rarely ganged up by competent kingdoms, it is so optimal that i never play for them and even often end up executing them all at some point just to make an example.

I played once for vlandia and i felt dirty, it was on that level of easy.

Edit: there is also another point to consider, if you ever actually play table games to improve relations with nobles then Vlandia has the crappiest and hardest one to win called MuTorere (it is not per se hard it just needs someone to make a mistake to win and can go on forever), while the imperials have a quite cool and easy game called Tablut (very easy as defender).

Khuzait is the easiest one,since they dominate most of the time without player help.From 2 u talking vlandia most likely.

nah sturgians are the best constant fighting actually good units

[Operation40]

Northern Empire!! go all SPARTA on them :)

[Puppet Pal Clem]

Southern Empire,really strong, and has good protection from it's natural boarders which is protected by bodies of water and mountains. Khuzait are monsters too, but me and some other lords took care of them and reduced their land and power a ton to the point of being afraid of attacking or walking in our land.

Vlandia is another really good faction, especially if you want a good cavalry faction, but southern empire has access to elite cavalry too (with even better armor and lance). Sturgia has been really weak, and not that great of a faction. I never have to worry about them because they are extremely weak. If you play as them, they seem to be in a never ending war even during bad times they are constantly declaring war, i haven't played sturgia in a long time (especially after only holding 1/4 of the original land, and the dumbass king declaring war against multiple extremely powerful nations). I wifed the sturgian king's daughter, killed her father, and vowed to reclaim the land once i became strong enough before the save became broken from a patch.

[FatalError]

Butterlords of vlandia. Bit boring imo with the same old european knights. But some of the other factions get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ over in their unit tiers. I wouldn't like to commit to a faction that has no cavalry for example. Infantry only might be fun for a while, but eventually you'll regret not having horses.

[Sturmhorst]

Sturgia, don't ask.

[Pititan]

The southern empire.
