Hello friends,
I create a YouTube playlist where I show my playstyle which shows how to gain control over the entire map in about 10 years at the hardest difficulty level with no exploits. This gameplay shows why it's not a problem that the AI is getting bonuses in money and units and keeps sending armies at you. For me, each of the times when the AI is sending these armies, it's like it's sending a gift of about 50K gold. because these armies get destroyed with minimum casualties, usually between a ratio of 1 to 30 and 1 to 60 casualties, and we get loot and prisoners + relationship improvement from releasing prisoners.
The gameplay can be found here:

This gameplay also shows why the snowball is not really an issue. since you get to build a strong kingdom so quickly with a strong army,
you can just go for the empire that snowballs, destroy their armies and take their fiefs, it just adds a challenge to an easy game.
This also shows why a tougher difficulty level might be needed.
And it also shows why the bug TaleWorld inserted in the updates and insist on calling it a feature is actually one of the most annoying bug in the game, throughout the gameplay you can see the hero get hit in battle while giving orders:

So this is my play style in short:
1. Focus on building a strong elite army with focus on large number of fian champions and elite cavalry.
2. Store your units in your clan members' parties
3. Make your clan members follow you all the time and don't let them join other clans army so that they will not do nonsense like:
3.1 raiding villages of enemy lords you want to improve relationship with
3.2 getting captured or involved in a battle and losing all or some of their elite units.
3.3 donating the troops you worked so hard to train and recruit to other clan fiefs.
and this way you can preserve your elite units in their parties.
4. Also, in each of these occasions take all units and prisoners from your clan parties and return the units to them after the event:
4.1 siege attack
4.2 battle (so you will get the prisoners and can release them for improving relationship)
4.3 take all valuable prisoners from them before entering castles and towns.
4.4 never let them enter a friendly ally lord fief. (they will donate your units to his garrison)
5. This army will get very expensive so you must fight max amount of battles with large armies and sell loot and prisoners or you will get bankrupt.
6. try to place only low level troops (tier 1-2) in garrison so that that fiefs will be profitable.
7. after creating a kingdom get mercenary clans and, at start, at most 2 ally clans so you can take for yourself all fiefs that you want.
8. make mercenary clans leaders always near to you by making them run after you to join your army or be part of your army so that
once they leave you, you can run after them to recruit them again.
9. this way, you get your elite 600-800 troops clan army + 2-3 good mercenary clans always with you and it's either of these two:
9.1 everyone declare war on you - in this case you just make a lot of money from destroying their armies and improve relationship with their lords until they want peace.
9.2 you are at war with only 1-2 kingdoms - in that case you just take over their fiefs in between destroying their armies.
10. once you get all the fiefs you want (in my case it's about 10-12 towns) let all clans who want to join your kingdom join.
Please let me know what you think.
Thank you
