Sergeant at Arms
In almost all mods I used to play I played as an individual ruler and had no problem with that. Recently, since the release of new versions PoP and Perisno, I wanted to try something diffirent and play as a devoted vassal of a certain faction. And then it started... It began in PoP 3.8, where I started to play as Sarleon vassal — my kindom was wrecked by everyone and despite doing my best by resolving "peace" quests I gave up after being at constant war on 3-4 fronts. I started a new character and joined D'Shar and guess what? Sarleon and Empire owned my chosen kingdom, I was literally the only one who defended and captured castles back -- marshall forces were very low and I gave up already.
Now, as for Perisno: After 0.8 hit I stared playing as Bakhal giant. We were at war with Reich, who destroyed Sut and half of the Drahara, and, no matter what my efford was, we couldn't hold after multiple sieges and I quit. My next playthorigh was being a Reich Knight. Reich Des Drachen is one of the strongest factions, right? Wrong. A month after my oath we lost 4 castles to Drahara (3 of them I took back), as well 2 castles to Valahir and, most importantly, Reichberg, which I am sieging right now. My lords do absolutely nothing, feast 24/7 and refuse to support me as a marchal (I have high relations with at least 5 of them).
Obviously I doubt that there is a rigged script or whatever in the core game that makes the player's faction extremely weak/dumb, however I happens all the time. Am I really that unlucky?
