I have a nice wife, a nice fief too, a castle on a hill with a magnificent view. I have fertile lands, and villages that thrive, hundreds of troops who somehow stay alive. My coffers are heavy, my warband is fed, my enemies see my banner and occasionally drop dead. I have horses and armor, silver and grain, a hall full of nobles complaining again. By every measure, I’ve won at this game. I’ve conquered, grown wealthy, and built up my name. Yet I stand on my battlements when the campaigning is done, watching the mountains fade with the sun. My wife is beside me. My kingdom is strong. My vaults overflow. But something feels wrong. I’ve everything a lord could possibly acquire… Maybe what’s missing another fief to desire. submitted by /u/t-o-m-u-s-a [link] [comments]
I play the Floris mod and generally enlist as a soldier for my first in-game year (almost always under a king I want to be a vassal for/ powerful lord with marriagable daughter) so I see a lot of time pass by quite quickly. In my current game I've seen Dhirim change hands like eight times already, the Vaegirs expanding throughout Nordic territory before being annihilated by the Khergits, who in turn were forced north by Sarranids, who in turn were forced north by Rhodoks. Swadia is now reduced to four measely castles, the Nords and Rhodoks are duking it out over who gets the mid-map, and the Khergits are trying to finish what everyone else started by wiping Harlaus off the face of Calradia. So much in less than an in-game year, and I know that if I start a new game it could all go very differently, almost none of it having anything to do with me (at least at the start.)
