Can anyone tell me how active Lys and Pentos are when it comes to getting into wars with other factions? I'm starting my second campaign on normal war settings and debating which faction I should join since I'm primarily using Lysian infantry and archers from Pentos for the bulk of my forces, I'm leaning towards Lys so my armor will match the rest of my infantry but if they tend to be pretty peaceful I don't wanna be spending forever waiting for them to pick a war or trying to instigate them myself.
I think non of them are good units, but as for your question, Pentos can be really active if U start Blackfire claimant quest.
