Worth joining a nation?

[Boris]

Is it worth joining the armies of one of the nations?
I tried this once and didn't really notice much special except I had more enemies to fight...
Have most others joined a side?

 

[fak]

You join either Vaegir or Swadian so that you can perform supply quests and kidnap noblemen given by lords (also more enemies to fight). Unless you want to play as a free merchant and stay away from fights, you should join armies for extra fun

 

[sheek]

The best side to join is the Bandits (Mag7 v15). They have the most enemies of any side so you are never wandering around for days looking for some action. I think they also have the most creative quests.

 

[okiN]

Meh, I don't know about creative.

"Destroy this party."

"Bring me peasants."

Anything else?

 

[thadivine]

use the mag 7 mod and replace the script with the old 1 after joining the bandits, you will be able to fight everything except peasants/ farmers/refugees. (btw, is there any way to enable attacking these? (just in the script, where to do and how, not a new txt plz.)
Quite cool

It's worth joining a faction just so you can attack caravans for the loot.

 

[Fluffy The Hamster]

It's worth joining a nation so you can beat up 90+ war parties by yourself.

Thats the last time the swadians try to send a 127 army my way, .

I am playing a "neutral campaign" now and i can say im havin more fun than a sided one. Just attack caravans from both sides and unleash the action! Now everywhere are enemies and only people i care about are my men. For quests i go for merchants whom i consider sideless (or who are on the side of money). I am being a total raider. I go raid caravans and patrols; crush war parties for excitement and slaughter foragers for fun. I dont think its really worth it. Why bother those pain in the neck Dukes' and Counts' quests? Only thing that sucks is i cannot join fights where war parties fight each other. I cant get involved (though all i have to do is to pay a meager sum to a Count to neutralize). I thought I couldnt get Borcha but it seems i can, and i did; so there are no problems at all.

Yeah. My two first quests were:

1/The merchants are getting uppity and not paying their 'protection'. Bring me a caravan master alive, kill the rest.

2/Certain business interests have been complaining about the peasant scum spreading disease and squatting. Massacre x bands of refugees.

 

[sharp_spike]

both vaegir's and swadian's are my enemy.i like killing them all because i'm a hunter but i hate swadians

 

[Maelstorm]

I kill two Swadians for breakfast, and two for lunch
I kill two Vaegirs before i kill three and i kill four after i kill five.
I kill two Swadians before i sleep, and a dozen when i sleep.

 

[ManOfHonor]

i strike down the vaegir horde with my band of 30 heros, undeafeatable in combat, war partys scatter before us!

(no i dont actualy have 30 heros, they are swad men at arms, knights, crossbowmen, and sharpshooters)

How the hell do you join the bandits and whats the best way (apart from saving a f*** load of money can you get Dark hunter armour. If yiu take the main one prisoner do you get his armour cos it would save me loads of money

 

[sharp_spike]

joining bandits is not possible in normal version.they make modes for it

 

[thebloodytalonofwoe]

how do i get hold of this "mode" as joinig the bandits seems a lot more fun. however does it inhibit my buying ability

Merchants in regular cities will not deal with you but smithies will and also there is a merchant in dhorak deep who you can deal with in the latest version.
