The Border Kingdom will be a very interesting kingdom to play as, considering the only routes of expansion will require either invading another more powerful faction, or going into the dark lands of Cimmeria. Like the lowland Scots were stuck between England and the Highlands, they will be stuck between Hyborian chivalry and feudalism, and Cimmerian tribalism and clan warfare.

They'll have a bit of a break early on as Nemedia subsidizes them as a buffer between Cimmeria and their border, generally giving a few tributes each year in order to keep the kingdom running (and the Cimmerians out). However, should Nemedia be in trouble financially, focus on other priorities or be wiped out, the Border Kingdom will be in a heap of trouble. They will be the hardest faction to play by far, so hopefully ideal for a real challenge. Units will be a mix of classic Hyborian units, plus outlaws, bandits, and some barbarian warriors.
