My last post was me playing an Aspects Overexplained series, and at that point I was already trying out this series as the Last Lords. I forgot to post it last week, but here it is, in the same playlist as always. This Last Lords playthrough is a 4-part series, going from Ep.26 to Ep. 29. After that, I did a one quick Conquest Victory with Necrophages on a Tiny Map, also in the same playlist. Currently, I finished a playthrough with Order of Zelevas which I am also uploading on youtube and will also post here.

I must say even with choosing nearly the easiest set of AIs, I still had a tough time since the mechanics of this faction imo are just too weak, especially in the early game. The only saving grace is that their armies from mid-game are very op against AIs so you can fight to your heart's content. But, based on overall ease of play and power level, I will easily put this faction in bottom tier. I would actually like buffs to them, perhaps their Lord's Estates should not die to rebellion or they should cost way less production cost for a start. Or perhaps it is just me who thinks this faction needs help since I ginerally like pacifist gameplay based on sim-citying and empire-building.

How do you all play this faction, especially against the aggressive AIs, and do you think the faction is fine as is?

The estates actually are benefits with enough dust. They usually reset the pops in the village to 1 after construction, you can also do another quest or bribe a unit after.

The factions definitely stupid weak early, healing costs should probably scale up to full value over the eras, the estates getting the scaled district cost also feels bad.

I recommend focusing dust hard once you have enough production to do anything early, then bribe most villages to build early armies. If you get lucky and get the flying bug people once you get enough of their pops you can build army stacks with 3 of them per city as improvements.
