What Faction(s) Do You Find Most Annoying?

[ItzJames]

I created this thread because i was only wondering what factions you guys think should be nerfed, or are extremely annoying. Rhodoks, Swadians, Vaegirs, Nords, Khergits, or Sarrinards. If are going to answer this question then please try to explain why...It will be interesting to see what factions people hate. I will go first (Please do poll above if you havent already.)

I personally find the Nords and Swadians very annoying. I dont like the nords because when i fight them they have great teamwork as foot soldiers and are formidable foes, now i like a challenge but the only problem is they block most of your moves then axespam you to death. It is especially hard to sneak into their villages if you are caught. Ever tried to sneak into a Nord town? If you are caught its harder to beat them then if you are trying this against a Vaegir town or such. Swadians are only annoying because they have a damned stupid king, who only thinks with his stomach.

I find the Vaegir extremely annoying when I fight for the Nords, considering to get to Wercheg you have to ride through their lands, at least until they declare a cease-fire or you conquer that area.

Khergit because there all horseback and run away and the battle lasts to long due to chasing. Sea raiders at the start i hate also on hardest difficulty because big group easily kill you and protect the nord villages from me recruiting and veigar lol.

Rhodoks because of tashim

Rhodoks because of tashim

You know, I think you're right. I didn't mind them before but now I can't wait to see their horror-stricken faces begging me not to kill them, spare them for their children's sake.

Eh?  Why did you put Khergits and Saranids together?  They are totally different.

I don't find the Saranids annoying at all, but Khergits can be quite annoying in their native lands.  But thanks to the stupid horse archer AI, Khergits are only annoying in that they waste a lot of time running around.  The only faction that gives me a real headache is the Rhodoks in the mountains.  Massed Rhodok spearmen and crossbowmen in steep valleys are very, very annoying.  Not that I think they should be nerfed, though, because they are a pushover everywhere else.

Khergits. They just run around like little ducks and when they hit you with and arrow they go up to you and say "In your face!" and then you kill them.

 

[Lord Brutus]

Ah, nobody put Khergits and Sarranids together, unless there's a mystery thread here somewhere.

Oh, now I see the poll. Duh

 

[Charlie Brooker]

Sarinards?

 

[Rewjeo]

Khergits. Not only do they take forever to hunt down in battle, they also have a tendency to randomly attack your castle farthest away, forcing to go back and defend it and all it really achieves is wasting my time. Maybe if THEY hadn't declared war to regain territory (implies offense, no?) it would make sense to play a defensive war like that, but honestly, can't you attack one that doesn't prevent me from taking your land?

Their stupid Steppe Bandits are also a pain to deal with when you're first starting up.

 

[KingLuke]

I feel sorry for the Khergit farmers. They spend most of their life running from steppe bandits.

Rhodoks because of tashim

You know, I think you're right. I didn't mind them before but now I can't wait to see their horror-stricken faces begging me not to kill them, spare them for their children's sake.

Everytime I start to loot a Rhodok village, and feel sorry for the peasants, I think about Tashim. And that's why, I hate Rhodoks.

 

[Blackfish]

Don't hate on Rhodok 'cos of one fanboy... 

Voted for Khergits. As in, they're the least fun to fight, even if Nords (for example) are tougher.

 

[Thedragonslayer]

Khergit are annoying because their full-cavalry troops.

But I detest Swadia, because their heavy armor, even their ranged units,
You know, I am a Nord fans, I hate Swadia since 3 of my huscarl were killed by Swadian knights that used their lances against my infantries
Also their massive large troops, a Lord have 100 troops with 20 men at arms,
Their king is the most stupid king in Calraudia, still try to make/join a feast even in a critical situation

 

[Maksim125]

Khergits they are so weak but fast and  annoying.

 

[stormcricket]

I am finding the Sarranids real annoying, but that is only because we have been at war for so long and I cant muster the strength to finish them off for good.
I dont have enough lords to attack them and defend against all the other factions that charge in when they think I am getting too powerful.

 

[LBaeldeth]

I find the Rhodoks the most annoying.  Not in actual combat (although sieges against them are a real pain) but out of principle, because it seems that the solution settled on for their underwhelming performance was to give their lords an absurdly high proportion of elite troops - I have never seen a Rhodok with less than 50% tier-5 (sergeants and sharpshooters), and some of them get as high as 80% tier-5 soldiers!  If that weren't enough, the armies of Rhodok lords tend to be larger than those of other faction lords with similar renown and fiefs.

Therefore, I find them the most annoying. For moral reasons.

 

[CriticallyAshamed]

Kherghits. I love playing as them, I love stomping them late game, but early game both as and against them.... Ohhh boy...

Early game as them, you'll be riding around with Steppe Bandits chasing you down kicking in your little recruits.
Early game against them, you'll be smashed by ONLY cavalry. It'll probably be a long slow battle with your infantry gradually getting picked off. Once you get dehorsed it'll be a long slow death by either pincushion or cavalry circling.
