The AI has more fun than the player.

Just a silly thought i had while playing. I realized the game is mostly built around the AI lords rather than the player. They have much more implemented things like diplomacy (declaring war and peace), access to better armor, access to elite troops, no negative consequences when acting recklessly due to the ability to escape whenever they please. The player doesn't have the ability to blackmail them or make them surrender even if you outnumber them 10 to 1. Their garrison seems to be unaffected by food shortages or at least not to the extent the players is. They and their friends form opinions of you based on your actions (basically the player as to bend over backwards and cater to their needs to be on their good side) while your opinion of them for their ****ty behavior means nothing and they have stat lines that are completely unachievable by the player.

player cant fight or cant manage, lords do both. Fighting stats, great grear and great lower half of skill tree. Lords should be leveling up too. From lv 0. And with the same amount of focus, skills. The AI would need 5x times the lords for the armies they currently get.

The AI follows the same rules and restrictions as the player. A lot of balance issues are actually related to the AI being bad at the game lol

The only exception is teleporting when they're ransomed
