Ranking All Factions in Kenshi 

Maybe™

And they are the main source of food, kinda of a big deal

Plush they have Really good slav-#-#- . I mean Warriors you can use😈

And Holy nation is most based nation in Kenshi.

Holy nation has way too many downsides they are borderline evil especially with Phoenix being in lead, he rated them correctly. They hold tactical position in economy and military power and that is mostly the reason they are even so high in the list.

Not really, depends on where your base is it's low A or high B because how hard it is to sustain yourself there with few to fertile land and need to pay tax with food, sometimes shek outcast faction will raid your base no stop, all this in early to mid game I'm talking pure vanilla

Admag looks like crap, why in the world does Squin look better than the so called capital of the Shek race? I physically get the urge to puke all over my computer, because Admag is such a nasty looking turd to look at

He doesn't know about the traders backpack cheese

@@whitecat1441 one word, shem

​@srt7248 Shem has annoying ass beak things.

xD

Hey it's not sl*very if it is named capitalism.

I believe my words were "Black Desert Ninjas aka Cloud Ninjas" and if you haven't noticed I ranked them separately from Black Dragon Ninjas.

@@KokoplaysMB ah, didn't quite hear the aka. cloud ninjas part, mb

@@dimasdwiki6146 I've never heard them referred to as cloud ninjas. TIL

It sounded like he said black dragon ninjas not black desert ninjas. It even says "black dragon" in the subtitles

@@KokoplaysMB a year late but you're still wrong, you very clearly said black dragon, which is what the subtitles agree with as well. Those are the ones from the border zone.

The holy nation is an amazing gateway for the player into the politics of the world

I mean kinda but it gets boring after a while, they lock off a lot of end game content, and cool stuff like Burn, Sadniel, and limb replacement, so cyberbeep. Tho if you want that you could probs just overthrow the holy nation once you want to start getting access to banned shit like AI cores and the good limbs, could be interesting

@@cookingwithtool159 if you have over 55 positive relations with Holy Nation they wont mind replacement limbs as long as they arent on the character being used for interaction.

@@HumphreyHorsehead alternatively you can just destroy them, not have to deal with any of that, and reap exactly the same benefits while not having a bunch of artificial restrictions on access to the best stuff in the game

Everyone likes good ol misogynistic, racist zealots

You must be an idiot

Yeah, they're mostly awful to their own sanity, but not to yours so they're technically the best faction to start with. Also, being their ally don't makes you UC enemy

Yea, between the SK, HN, and UC, Shek are just the best option. Holy Nation is full of roaving slavers who will try to enslave anybody (player included) at any opportunity for any reason. Then there’s nobles who, in cities can usually be ignored but, in the outside may decide to randomly hunt/shoot at the player just for fun. And, I haven’t actually experienced this, supposedly the guards are corrupt and may demand money from the player or face being arrested (and possibly sold as a slave). The Holy Nation hate anything that isn’t male human (green or scorch). Which can be fine if you’re doing a “All human, Holy Nation crusaders” game. But otherwise they’re an issue. Anytime I pass by one with non-humans in my group they ask me to hand them over to become slaves. And they hate skeletons so much even having a robot limb can get you attacked on sight. The Shek, to my knowledge, have no real downside. Outside of lorewise being “fight crazed warriors”, they mostly just throw around insults at anybody they see as weaker than them.

I hate them with a passion, they provide nothing of value to anyone, whereas the other nations (while being horrible) provide food and materials to the world

I love the sheks. They are like the underdog vs HN (and UC). I never cheer or like being on the strongest team, I always just wanna boost the smaller factions and destroy the big ones. Plus they are close to the swamp. I dont like the north part of the map.. i hate getting eaten

It's all S tier!

So far I've mostly seen border zone and okran's pride, and felt that it's mostly really quiet. Yesterday was my first excursion to the swamp. Love it!

@@KokoplaysMB That would have to be a video for every equipment slot probably, I don't know how you could do a video on every piece of armor without making it two hours LOL. Could be a good idea for a series though if you ran out of other stuff to rank :P

Sometimes a pile of naked bodies is better than the other outcome

​@@KokoplaysMB Yeah, I keep saying the exact same thing to my parole officer

Yep being a human means that holy nation has your back until you consort with non humans. Being shek makes you abit more accepted in shek racism lands. Skelleton makes skelleton lands safer and more profitable to be in though they kinda seem accepting of anyone that makes it there past the acid storms. Hive just makes you banned by hive.

What if I told you I can play all the games?

Might be late to this as i have only recently started playing kenshi, but it was the exact same thing for me. Found sseth's video on kenshi, heard about the skin bandits and prayer day and immediately bought the game.

Gotta love Kenshi

@@KokoplaysMB I do now! But I kinda knew I would, having already been in the Rimworld - PZ - M&B - SS13 - CK - DF type (emergent story FTW!) of crowd for at least a decade (closer to two decades than one, I think, in hindsight...) there honestly was never much doubt. More just having the time really, Kenshi was "the one I never got around to", until now.

I love reading this. I too had this experience when I started playing. You chose the best side when you chose Shek. After many years I have come back to this gem. Using mods that used to be wonky, now pristine and so amazing. Making Shek great again in my playtrough

Are we the baddies?

Like Ruka... I have her Babylons set on max. As they should be.

I really wish you could ally with Yabuta and help him cause chaos across the land. But I guess he's far too unstable for friendship..

Funny thing is, once you free Yabuta, he will then form Yabuta outlaws and disappear, leaving the command of the group to Yabuta chief

Glad you enjoyed!

Your actions will change the world. Cities might change hands or become ruins based on the death of leaders.

Thanks!

It is in Kenshi

Thanks!

You mean how they change if certain NPCs die?

@@KokoplaysMB thank for the respond. Yes

Yes!

You can make it an early game goal.

@the newbie go the skin skeletons HQ and rob their chief for the peeling blueprint so you can build your own in your base. Or go to fogmen to a pole and let them eat you while a second character is ready to rescue you.

Thanks!

So because tech hunters are A tier instead of S you "lost faith in my ranking"? Makes sense

Ur shot TF out if you're gonna "lose faith in his teir lists" cus he put them in A instead of S... aka still extremely good teir and only 1 down? Then good riddance to you. I Def wouldn't want you as a follower either with that toxic mindset.. I disagree with over half this man's decisions hell I even agree tech hunters should be S teir . However I still respect the man view and his knowledge of the game and will continue to support him.. smh literally 1 teir away to and you throw a fit

@DR BEAN BEAN (BINO) 👍Cool story. Posted this 2 months ago, I realized then that I probably shouldn't have posted it, so I didn't say anything after the author got snarky with me. Didn't want to troll the post. As a kind suggestion, you should probably do the same thing and drop it.

But aren't women also humans though? Or people who lost their limbs but still want to walk? Or people who don't want to pray? The Holy Nations is a lot more than just humans vs aliens..

Humans in the UC and Tech Hunters have managed to mostly coexist with all the races in Kenshi just fine. It's one thing to consider factions like the Second Empire, Southern Hive, or possibly the Shek Kingdom as a threat to humanity, but to consider all non-humans regardless of afflation an "existential threat" when coexistence is already proven to be possible is a bit much.

Even if you thought skeletons, sheks and hivers are bad, slaving women is not moral.

@@KokoplaysMB when it comes to survival in a hostile world women are too important to be front line soldiers or adventurers. they need to produce and raise children to ensure the continued survival of the group. as for amputees the weapon descriptions indicate the world has been like this for centuries, and the Paladin's Cross specifically indicates the Holy Nation has been around for a long time and have a particular disdain for skeletons who may have caused the end of the world in the first place so that disdain isnt necessarily unfounded. In the end the artificial limbs make people look like skeletons to a degree, and in their religion such technology is the work of the devil. Interestingly if you raise their relations to over 55 they wont attack members of your party who have artificial limbs anymore as long as theres still a fully human greenlander male for interaction.
