How does each nationality play within Blood & Plunder? How do the Spanish factions differ from the French and how are the Pirates unique? In this episode we walk through each nationality, covering what makes them unique, and hitting some of their top factions.

If you're new to Blood & Plunder and trying to choose what models to buy, or if you've been playing one nationality for a while and you're curious about the other nations, this overview should be helpful!
