Minor faction survivability in IE

trueshot211#2035

This is a poll on how users feel about the durability of minor factions in IE. The poll obviously applies to ME and RoC and so forth, but for the purposes of being useful ideally the results reflect IE. Do you think minor factions are dying too slowly or too quickly? Do you find their current survivability immersive (or unimmersive)?

A hypothetical example, suppose a nearby minor faction such as Tilea or the Border Princes is wiped out around Turn X. This (or any other) minor faction is near your campaign start and is strategically relevant. What is your first thought?

Minor factions are wiped out too quickly; it's unimmersive

One 'minor' faction to be specific. Caledor.

I think after 2.2 they are wiped out more quickly than before, but I am okay with it as I generally prefer to play against a legendary faction than them.

They're only there to be map filler. Getting subsumed by LLs is their entire purpose.

Minor factions are OK

I really like how you can revive dead factions to vassalize them, combined with trading settlements to help them reestablish. This covers a lot of the issues that may exist between too much or too little loss.

Yeah I think is a case by case situation

No opinion as I play modded with the Random AI Faction Strength mod https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1809892046092930208/5F5B1DFF4530DC37B26B5DC7C43E8B1C9D997917/?imw=268&imh=268&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=#000000&letterbox=true , So I never really know who is going to be the biggest threat.
