With Ultimate Intrigue now out I wanted to ask what were the top 5 political/intrigue-y roleplay heavy APs. I haven't done any of them yet, so like to have people's opinions on this before I go pick up one for my game.
Curse of the Crimson Throne, Hell's Rebels, Council of Thieves, Skulls and Shackles (shipboard politics, and later, Shackles politics), Serpent's Skull (In between long stretches of nothing of the kind, the faction politics matter a great deal)
Don't Kingmaker and Hell's Vengeance qualify more than Serpent's Skull? (Agreed on the other 4.)

Hell's Vengeance is too early to call.
Kingmaker, well, I wasn;t that wild about that particular sandbox, and a lot of its "politics" were of the "let the kobolds live and they might help you" variety.
The playthrough I was involved in was bigger on exploration than international diplomacy.
Kingmaker as written doesnt contain a lot of intrique et al', but its style of development led to an awful lot. The best intrique APs i think are ones where the place you start is as important as the place you finish, so not so much in travel, move on, travel APS.
