The mods starting point is just after Robb Stark crosses The Twins with Ser Jaime Lannister descending upon Riverrun.
House Lannister commands The Westerlands along with Harrenhal and Stoney Sept in the Riverlands. They have 2 starting armies under Both Tywin Lannister and Jaime Lannister along with several smaller raiding parties. The high income from gold in their home regions and their large starting armies makes them quite possibly the easiest faction.
Difficulty: 1
House Tyrell has one of the easier starting positions. While they do not start with a strong army their large tax income and secure position gives them great possibilities in the future. They start with the most regions, highest population and a full stack under Randyll Tarly.
Difficulty: 2
House Stark commands the open regions of the North, a widespread area that will be difficult to defend. They start with 1 army under Roose Bolton and a small cavalry force under Robb Stark. The distance required to bring in reinforcements at the start and the inability to conduct any real defence at home makes the Starks quite difficult to play as.
Difficulty: 3
House Arryn start in a rather difficult position with almost no army, a large coast to defend and several mountain passes. Many of the bordering factions however tend to be too busy to take advantage of this weakness allowing The Vale Lords to build up their own army to wage a war.
Difficulty: 3
House Greyjoy start in a precarious position with only a few settlements and the inability to recuit usefull units outside the Iron Islands. Their success lies in their large starting fleet and the relative weakness of most coastal regions allowing them to raid much of the western coast however they can not stand up against any of the major houses on their own.
Difficulty: 4
House Baratheon of Storm's End start off in a unique position in that they have an army but several turns from any of their own regions. Renly Baratheon starts off with most of the Stormlands might in Tyrell lands with Randyll Tarly. While they have very few regions that can make any gold they have a strong starting position and can easily expand into richer areas.
Difficulty: 3
House Baratheon of King's Landing have the toughest start of any of the Baratheons with no true production centre to train an army and no real generals to fight. Their power lies in the wealth of King's Landing and the river crossings nearby which can be easily defended. They start with half a stack near King's Landing and is the only house that can train the Gold Cloaks.
Difficulty: 4
House Tully starts off in possibly the worst position, surrounded by Lannisters and outmatched 2-1 their only hope of survival is through diplomacy. They start with 1 army near Riverrun under Edmure Tully along with some smaller forces scattered around however they are immediately matched by Jaime Lannister and his army nearby.
Difficulty: 5
House Baratheon of Dragonstone start in a strong position army-wise however they will go into debt pretty quickly if they do nothing. They begin with 2 regions, a large feet and an army of mercenaries which will break their bank very fast if not handled carefully. On a good note, they start with one of the best generals in the kinghdom, Stannis Baratheon and can gain access to mercenary units which will help bolster their armies in the future.
Diffoiculty: 3
House Martell start in an isolated position in the south and can go through the game without ever fighting. Their starting income and armies are pretty low but can be increased due to the lack of a threat early on. They do however suffer from a lot of natural distastors due to the game mechanics so armies, generals and cities will have to be watched closely.
Difficulty: 2
