Why do vikings always win in the faction war

[Minion]

Is it because everyone is joining the vikings so they can get a free win?

[Miromett]

Vikings have the biggest bonus applied to unit resources. Well that, and they are probably the only ones that give a f*ck about winning the seasons.

And why do people assume they give a ♥♥♥♥ about winning the seasons? I thought it was because they had the larger player base.

you dont get rewards if you switch mid season lmao no one is switching

If I understand correctly: vikings have a lowest player base and this is why they have a biggest bonus applied to unit resource (for balance, otherwise those who have more player base would always win).
But they win because

I doubt this. Going completely off of who I see in matches, Vikings have about 40% of the playerbase. People join them because they keep winning.

We knights could win. But dat vulcano is more important.

[ToOkieMoNstZA]

Thats right! We be few, but no lands are safe from pillage!

[HotBurritoInColdRoom]

Because Vikings are the only true warriors?

I think Vikings used to win because their playerbase was quite low and thus, each player had a big bonus. But each time they're winning, more people come in for the next season so they'll start losing due to the bigger playerbase.

Funny how the more players there is in a faction, the less efficient this faction becomes.
Anyway, the Samurai will probably always has the largest playerbase because... well you know why.

Even though I'm a Viking since the beginning, I wish there was some kind of "loyalty reward" for sticking with the same faction even through defeat.

[Mister Holdout]

Because we're better than everyone else.

Valhalla!

Vikings have an even larger playerbase than Knights who currently have much MUCH more active players than Samurais, the thing is, the devs are supposed to balance the faction war with multiplicators that vary through the season in order to have all faction at a roughly equal point in terms of resources.
But that's currently not the case.
The weebs are very likely to win the last battle, which means that the vikings will win through sheer number. For, let's say, the fifth time out of seven participations...
The system is at best broken, at worst, ubisoft forgot it was even their job to apply the right bonuses at the right time.
