Haven't done this in a long time, but I did another nation in my EAW A-Z thing, This time it was Katerin Principality.

I decided to go harmonist for this one and strangely enough, its probably one of the harder Herzland runs. I actually tried this twice and both times, there was a crazy huge alliance against me. First time it was Wingbardy's faction allying with Aquileia, who had the Republican Pact and this time it was Prywhen, who pretty much owned all the south attacking me with the Republic, with of course pacted Aquileia and Skyfall declaring on me soon after. This led to a pretty challenging war that took a few tries to beat. Was pretty fun though.

Pros:
>Fun gameplay.
>Nice story.
>Good path variety.

Cons:
>If you played other Herzland nations, it can feel a bit same-y.
>Not as focused on conquest, so it can be boring unless you get into a situation like me.

I had a lot of fun with this, though that might be due to that big defensive war. If that doesn't happen, you will have an easy time since this nation doesn't get any wargoals. All the non-Herzland territories I have in the pic is from that one big war. I had to fight all of that at once. I'm not sure if I'd be as happy with it if something like that didn't happen though, so a non-harmonist route might be more consistently good.

Next up would beKingdom of Abyssinia.
