Ha, there are a ton of factions. I usually start as a soldier for the area i spawn at, than once i get skilled enough and have enough moeny, i form an army and take over a smaller faction. This mod is so much fun because since there are so many factions, it's easier to create your own kingdom. In native I recently got good at it, but used to suck at it since I would make my kingdom and have everyone attacking me.
