Factions

There are seventeen factions in Aut Caesar aut nigil, plus seven minor factions. The civilized factions are constantly at war, trying to take over each other's territory and fiefs. While uncivilized factions will only raid their enemy, however, they can reconquer homelands should they be invaded by a civilized faction.

Each faction is distinguished by a different style of army; some have excellent infantry, others excellent archers or cavalry, or a combination of these units. Each faction has a leader and their vassals but unlike Mount&Blade: Warband, this mod does not use the Claimant system.

A faction will be eliminated a few days after all of their territory has been conquered and all of their armies have been defeated. If a faction has had all of its territory conquered but then regains a fief, the time until elimination will be reset, and the vassals of that faction will be able to start recruiting again. An addition by this mod; barbarians can reemerge if they have a successful rebellion. Parthia can reemerge as well if their Eastern Expedition is successful in reclaiming new land.
