[@Maul222]

What's even more funny is that spiff literally made world peace in a game built around endless war and with 200 factions left. Incredible

[@jordinagel1184]

I think strength ranking is not determined by the amount of land you hold or the vassals you have, but rather the size of your military. It’s happened to me before that I would fight a faction that’s considered stronger than me, wipe out their entire military in one turn, and by the next turn they’d be considered one of the weakest factions on the map, even if I didn’t take any settlements.

[@nolan_8]

When you try and declare on someone it will take into account the combined strength rankings of you and your vassals! I'd be curious to see just how skewed the bar is vs. the bigger factions later in the game.

I just realised that even though vassalizing some of these factions should be next to impossible through legitimate gameplay, the characters still have individual dialogue for the event.

Nothing is impossible. For example you can befriend anyone by giving them sufficient gifts. Giving them treasure and trading them settlements (for nothing).
