The main thing keeping this from being my favorite kingdom is that you are going to be stuck with crappy Briton troops for a while. I find that while Gwynedd tends to do pretty well for itself it normally has more internal strife than the other strong kingdoms and falls apart when the lords stop helping the marshal. Kingdom of Gwynedd: Probably the 3rd best kingdom to join after Northymbre and West Seaxe. Otherwise it has all the same benefits as Northymbre. They also don’t start the game with a port town. The one drawback/difference is that while the do border many weak kingdoms that they usually dominate they are also next to Gwynedd which is usually very powerful and aggressive. Kingdom of West Seaxe: This kingdom is like the Christian version of Northymbre. You are also in close proximity to Dorestad and Tunsberg which are important trading destinations. It also has a large number of lords to build up relation with so you will have lots of easy followers when you start your own kingdom. This results in a lot of right to rule because they end up making peace so often. This is a positive thing as kingdoms that are overseas rarely invade en masse and the nearby kingdoms are weak and normally get crushed by them. As a result of this other kingdoms are always declaring war on them. They are usually very effective at taking new territory. It’s always a very powerful kingdom where the lords work together well. Kingdom of Northymbre: This is one of the best kingdoms to join. There’s a lot of random chance involved in which kingdoms to well.

Keep in mind a lot of this is pretty subjective and based on anecdotal evidence. Here’s my breakdown of the various kingdoms: Unlike Native not all kingdoms in VC are equal.

You will gain right to rule passively whenever your kingdom makes peace with another and you can boost your relationship with lords through feasts and quests. You only need to get a little renown and talk to a ruler to become a vassal. This will make your transition to being a ruler much smoother as you will have loyal servants and won’t have to worry about the other kingdoms knocking your door down. The goal of being a vassal is to build up right to rule and relationship with lords. Once you have a stable economic foundation it is time to become a vassal. I'm assuming that anyone playing VC already has a basic knowledge of Native. This is a Guide to the Mount & Blade Viking Conquest (VC) mod.
