When I joined Riombara it was Grehk, Mio and Ardmore. We took over Irombro, Rines and Athol Margos, went from a one-duchy realm to a four-duchy one.
If it's that easy, why don't you do it?
Because, uhm, we didn't lose any regions, and so our noble/region ratio isn't >9000 like Rio's was?
You obviously joined Riombara
after Enweil gave it the whoopin' of the century. There's no challenge to taking all these regions when they don't belong to anyone, you had enough nobles to take them over, and your main enemy (Iro had given up by then anyways, and had that multi issue ravage them) nowhere on the horizon. And therefore only witnessed a small campaign before the invasion came, where all of the action was focused on the Dominion instead of you and for which the highlight was an ambush on an nonstrategic retreat that was called because of the invasion.
I can't believe you actually consider that to be an accomplishment.
We're not fighting any battle in your lands yet.
Precisely. Fheuv'n gained a bunch of nobles and will therefore be expanding, but Enweil was, and likely is still way too spread thin on nobles to make acquiring a region that has been rogue forever even the least bit alluring. Because they have been successful at defending their lands. They won't do TOs on you, they'll frigging turn you rogue, man. Riombara is isolated, and has a very fragile food surplus to sustain all of these big and growing cities.
I never claimed that Enweil had the most efficient army. But it has other things to help compensate for an imperfect army and a *very* disadvantageous geographical outlay.
