3 factions at war with my faction? what should i focus on?

[Elliot MAG X]

Hey guys still pretty new to the game. My faction is swadia, we been to war with several other factions but right now swadia is at war with three factions. Im just wanting to know whats the best thing should i focus on. Should i just raid the villages of these other factions.

were at war with vaegirs, khanate, and now nords.My army is at 80. I have lil over 30 knights and rest is just infantry base couple of rhodocks, nords, and some horseman sultanate.

My advice would be to figure out what your goal is and then work towards achieving that end.

Don't raid villages. You'll need the troops that they can offer later in your game.

Well,if you start losing bad you can become a turncoat and grab a few nice fiefs. Otherwise just keep pushing at the Vaegir and khanate fronts, as they'll be the easiest to take compared to the nords killer infantry (which rekts in sieges). Stack up as many troops as possible for aforementioned sieges and,if you haven't already, put points in leadership, engineering, and trainer. That's the broad (but simple) advice i'm going to offer for a new player.

The first advice and:

Skirmish with lords who have small armies (ones you could highly overhelm) and if you want to end the peace there is a quest that could be given by a guildmaster to end the war sooner or later.

Since you're in Swadia try talking to any guildmaster in any of the kindom's towns and see if they have that certain quest else try the enemy factions towns the guildmasters of the two warring factions would be the ones to give you the quest.

It involves talking to two vassals of the two factions that currently are waging war with one another if you can 'persuade' them to do as you advice days later there would be peace ensued.

I pledge to the Rhodoks and we had 3 factions at war with us at the same time. There is Swadia, the Sarranids, and the Khergits. It maybe really a bad situation because the lords will be spread too thin or too busy fending off the enemies. But its not really that bad. The Swadians were also at war with both Nords, and the Vaegirs so they're pretty much busy on their own too even bother with us. So the only problem would be the khergits and the sarranids. We pretty much conquered a part of the Sarranid faction. Weyyah, Shariz and Caraf and I own Shariz. I noticed that once a week, an army would start marching towards that area so usually I stack up on a lot of food and defend the the town and 2 castles. So yeah thats what I did the entire time until the war ended. Trying to take on a castle is not recommended when fighting off 3 factions at once. You have to stay in the defensive.

Try to defeat enemy lords that have smaller forces or less experienced troops, especially in terrain that favors your cavalry.

In general, Swadia is going to be in a pretty bad fix in this sitution. They're easily attacked on multiple fronts. If you want to help the kingdom, spend some time patrolling in the backfield, hunting down small armies led by fast-moving, opportunistic enemy Lords.

There will probably be a castle or town being sieged, here and there, so jump in to defend it when you can make a difference.

I don't attack enemy villages because of the negative honor and rep hits. If you don't mind these penalties, then go for it. (Reducing the prosperity of their fiefs will have a small effect on their ability to support a large army, but it's not a huge hit. It's more effective in allowing you to generate a good amount of cash if you need it than anything else.)

Team up with friendly Lords when you're able and help them when it's possible. You'll get good +Rep with them.

Focus on the faction closest to you, they will be the ones most likely to attack you, if the faction is further away, ignore them they won't do much because you're too far away. Also check in the notes to see who else they're at war with.

If you're at the end game and you have more feifs than all the other factions, get ready for a huge war vs everyone. My advice for this is to target the weakest faction of the much and get rid of them.

Sounds like heaven tbh, can raid more towns and pick off more small lords with no consequences. (none from your king anyway :) )

Focus on joining battles you can win or would win anyway, for rep. Avoid iffy ones and go liberate the losing lords for better relations. Sometimes i let my allies lose to rescue them later. I know its a bad idea sometimes, but its really worth it, considering i like being king asap.
