I’m a vasal with the Khuzaits and I feel like the AI is not doing me any favors. We were at war with Sturgia and the Aserai at the same time which was a nightmare because everyone was running north and south. Not at war with Sturgia anymore but as soon as we made peace with them Monchug went and declared war with the western empire. I have 15 fiefs and they all border the western empire. So while every place I own is getting attacked Monchug and all the other assholes have been fighting over Shibal Zumr Castle. One side takes it and back and forth so most of the army is over there. And I’m in the same situation over at Onica castle. I own it but they take it and then I take it back. No one is getting anywhere. I want to go on the offensive and take Zeonica but I just don’t have enough people and I don’t think I can get anymore. Any tips for this stalemate? And where do all their troops keep coming from? They keep coming with 1100 troop armies and I keep destroying them, shouldn’t the...
On my fourth go round, I've lowered the difficulty down to easiest even though I feel like chump, but I just can't seem to grind this out. I've got an army of around 190 something guys, 33 of which are Finn Archers, 43 Svear Warriors, 4 Norse Vikings (want more but don't know where to find them!), 25 Veterans, 12 Cantabrians, and a random smattering of other mid-to-high tier troops (there's a handful of Freeholders at the very bottom of my list, maybe 20 at most). My battle size is set to low (150) due to graphics stuff, so I know I'm in for a long slog, but I just cannot seem to get this done. What has happened three times now is that my men slaughter the Vikings wholesale (killing at least four or five per man) but the Saxon allied troops just get wiped. Eventually, my men just get ground down into the dirt or some unlucky formation shenanigans occurs (like the giant block of Viking warriors somehow rotating all the way around my shield wall and attacking it from behind) and I'm left watching wave after wave of crapsack Saxons break themselves on the Vikings while I desperately try to harry the flanks to help them. Ultimately, all the Saxons die, and it's just me, my Godelic Champion Sword, my shield, and about 30-40 angry Vikings, which ends unsurprisingly with me dying.
How should I be doing this? Should I advance aggressively and try and pin them in their spawn? Should I hold back and let the Saxons take the brunt of the fighting (doesn't seem to be working)? Go find stronger troops (my money is limited, I don't have a fort or anything really generating income, so I have to rely solely on trading and most of my troops are hired men to begin with, training just seems to take forever and day)? Set my battle size higher and push my graphics? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as I'm absolutely loving this game but this battle is really breaking my spirit.
