Which faction are you playing as now?

[nintendo64isking]

Hi guys just getting back into this mod again, I was wondering which factions were the most popular ones for using in the campaign. I'm currently having a blast with the wizzrobes, having made an alliance with the Lanayru, the Gerudo and the Gorons I have managed to hold back the Hylians relentless assault on Vigjaro and have just burned Princess Zelda the Harsh to a crisp, taking Hyrule Castle in the process. I'm really enjoying having to find a way of using the wizzrobe's speciality in their units, and i tend to charge trebuchets with acolytes while my magic users in separate groups decimate the lines of infantry approaching. PS good job on the new animation of aquamancer bubbles much better than the old one Neph!

Wizzrobe, but after a few dozen turns I'm starting to lose interest. I'm allied with Lanayru, Kokiri and various far-flung sundries, plus until recently the Gorons (who decided a free shot at a freshly retaken Kakariko is better than an alliance), wiping out Hyrule piece-by-piece and getting a little tired of all the supposedly allied half-stacks hanging around my northern and northeast borders. Zelda I, Raaru and numerous Hylian generals are overcooked too, but the Gorons are (pradictably) far tougher to crack open given the circumstances.

It's interesting to see how using such a specialised forces changes priorities in the field, as well as an importance to mercenary melee units (even/especially rogue Hylians) which fair surprised me to see. The total lack of fast units and rarity of long-range units is an issue though. As N64iK says, Acolytes are the only reliable resource with which to attack trebuchets.

I haven't played Twili since before 3.0, and i liked them back then, so they are definitely next...

Ordona, but I'm losing interest too. They are a very basic faction in play style, location, units etc., and there are so many others that are more unique. Also, every faction seems to be playing nice and allied with most other people, so I'm sort of going for the Civilisation economical victory. That is, until the Kingdom of Hyrule randomly got destroyed, leaving their large numbers of regions open to being taken over. Not entirely sure what happened there...

Thinking of going Twili next - building up a large economy and force, then blitzing the whole desert in quick succession! Alternatively, Ikana, Sheikah, River Zora or Stalfos - another unique play style faction.

Hyrule. Pretty easy, so easy I ended doing like the IA and attacked everyone around me. I´m at war with almost every faction but Ordona and the moblins.

Lanaryu, the Gomah and the Gorons are assaulting me constanly (Prett epic defensses) while my main forces take out the Gerudo and the Darknuts. All meanwhile all the NPC factions (I allied and acceted menbership withb then all) fend off and conquer the Fairies, the Zora and Labryna. Pretty fun how a full stack of Tokay hunters is kicking pretty much anything Labryna have. All in all quite fun but a bit dissapointed about not being able to recruit the new flail knights.

I did play as Lanaryu last time and liked the quite a bit, but I probabñy will try Labryna or the darknuts next.

Ordona. Like Mattwensley said it's a pretty basic faction with a boring gameplay at the initial turns.

I'm at war with the Lizalfos and preparing a second force to invade the Moblin territory. Playing as Ordona is easy because the north is secured by the Hylians, they already destroyed the Kokiri and are fighting the Gerudo. On the northweast Horon, Subrosian and high-tier Ordonian forces are fighting alongside Fairies and Zoras (Military Access) against the Gorons, and still they're pwning everybody!!

Someone already played as Gerudo? I was thinking on playing with them next.

[Jakeford]

I like playing as the Hylians and the Zora the best. Both factions have a fairly well balanced army with soldiers that look good. The Twilight are really fun and their soldiers are just look awesome but in at least v3.1 their campaign was just to buggy and incomplete to play. Not sure how they are in the new version.

Thanks to my game fixing mod, I had an excellent time playing as Labrynna just recently where I got in war with everyone yet still won. It was because I was required to take Hyrule Prime to win but had to either go through the Kokiri (who were weak and the most direct root but allied with everyone and wouldn't talk to me), the Zora and the Gorons, or the Lizalfos and the Ordonians. I allied everyone the Kokiri were with thinking a few would stick with me since I was far stronger but was surprised when everyone took the Kokiri's side. The only people who didn't hate me were ironically the Hylians, which of course changed when I took Hyrule Prime.

The changes my mod made caused the Gorons and Zora to cancel each other out (they were equally as strong) which allowed Hyrule Kingdom to do much better since they didn't have to fear the Gorons as much. The Gerudo seemed to do much better as well.

I'm playing as the River Zora now. Hyrule Kingdom is at war with me and I have no economy but I'm over between Labrynna, Deku, Kokiri, and Lizalfos so they can't reach me for the moment. I'm also allied with the Gerudo, Deku, and Lizalfos and my economy is starting to recover so I can actually make some money.

Currently I am playing the Sheikah and fighting a clandestine war against the Zuna Empire. I started the game off keeping the borders of Hyrule safe and destroying many stacks of Kokiri that tried to invade as well as battling the Lizalfos on and off. Soon enough though I received a message that the Gerudo had become vassals to the Zuna and when I sent my spies west I found a hilarious sight. The Zuna had destroyed the moblins and taken all of the land from the dead Maku tree all the way to Misery Mire. They had beaten the Ghoma, the Darknuts, the Gerudo, the Moblins, and were about to attack Ordona. Not one to abandon my allies I have been sending all of my efforts against these desert conquerors to try and save Hyrule.

With my most recent defeat though they have a clear path past my base in Audorn and right to Castle Town...

I was playing as the Darknut Legion but recently switched to Ordona.

After my first Darknut Campaign encountered the dreaded "random crash", I started a new one with a heavy focus on early expansion. I crushed the Zuna simply for retaliation for what they did to me in my Sheikah campaign, but otherwise remained passive against the other factions, instead focusing purely on rebel settlements. Next thing I know, I'm drawn into a series of wars one after another as other factions perceive me as a threat. First Gerudo, then Hyrule, and then the coalition of Gorons, Ghoma, Lanayru Province, and the Kokiri arrive to destroy my empire. I was two regions away from winning the Long Campaign (35 total for Darknut) on turn 33...

Needless to say, I ended up ragequitting. However, I think the save I have may prove to be an interesting scenario to play for some people, so I will probably end up making a topic with that save with some background story to set the mood.

Ordona I just started and plan to follow the same expansionist format, except this time I won't be ticking off any other factions (except for maybe Ikana whenever they show up), and should have Hyrule to support me. However, after the Darknut ragequit and investing maybe 40 hours in one week, I'm currently on break from playing the mod. Even now, I am still feeling the remnants of that Darknut campaign...

[Lortano]

No spoilers, but in playing on with the Goron Campaign, I ended up taking Castle Town by turn 20, due to Hyrule being massacred by Lanaryu and the Kokiri. As it is at the moment, I am expanding to try and torch the rest of Hyrule so that no one can steal what few settlements they have left.

[Soron]

Twilight forces, i like flying unit
i like hyrule and fairies of tarm to.
for custom battle, already i test the Church of Majora and i like them.



and.. this is me or hyrule is always powned when this is a cpu?? XD
seriously, he always have 2000 ennemies XD

[Cameron Shutters]

It's mainly due to Hyrule getting roflstomped by a Goron-Gohma alliance in my games. The Kokiri and Gerudo don't help either.

[Saria's Vanguard]

Playing fairies of Tarm, hordes of fairies everywhere. I've absorbed Horon and Subrosia and allied with as many people before I begin my conquest of Labrynna. Goron armies are a bit worrying since a number of stacks have been hanging near my borders so they might be next

[Godot]

I've been stomping faces with Ikana lately. Blitzed Ordona before they could build up that awful cavalry and now the Moblins are over and done with. I was expecting Hyrule to attack me like they always do when Ordona's in trouble, but they attacked the Gohma early on and have been stonewalled by the same city for about 15 turns now. The Lizalfos are also being amazingly incompetent at taking (rebel) cities, so that bought me time to take out the Moblins. Now I'm just gonna hang back and tech up for a while and make everyone worship masks.

[Aquos4]

Zora, Wizzrobe, and Lizalfos. Pulled off a heroic feat in defending a settlement from Hyrulean assault as the Zora using nothing but 1 unit of Zora Infantry and King Farkos. (To be fair, the entire army was composed only of Hyrulean Knights, but that's beside the point) I initially just had a bunch of guys in settlements, with Princess Ruto commanding my roaming army, but Hyrule is being really persistent in their attempts to take Domain Prime, so now I have a secondary army stationed LITERALLY right outside Domain Prime ready to defend against those Long-Eared Pissants.

Twilight forces, i like flying unit
i like hyrule and fairies of tarm to.
for custom battle, already i test the Church of Majora and i like them.

How do you play as Church of Majora? I thought you couldn't play them at all, not even in custom battles.
