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...
Maybe you guys already know about this and I'm just extremely late to the party, but there's a way for you not to lose about 40 men every day while you siege a castle during the Viking Conquest version of the siege. Please tell me whether this counts as an exploit so I can feel cheap, or if this a legitimate tip so I can feel like I'm helping the community! I've only tested this in Viking Conquest, so unless AWOIAF has a "Quarters" option on the lower left hand side, this might not work.
So as you guys know, many people prefer the newer method of siege from the Viking Conquest mod for many reasons, due to the complex ways of taking a castle, including the option to actually starve a castle out without losing as much as half your food supply and troops (unless its in the winter). This post is for people that want to have the best of both worlds when it comes to starving the defenders out, or just immediate attacking upon beginning the siege.
As long as this post is, the tip/exploit is very simple; Upon the first day of besieging, begin building blockades, but before you just start waiting, put ALL of your troops into camp quarter, leaving only you and your companions inside your party. On the map, it will show you next to the castle, but now with a camp icon of your troops right under you.
This has so many benefits. One, the enemy is so much more likely to fight now that they believe it's only you sieging them, but every time the come out you will be reinforced by your troops. Two, you can have the vanguard build all of your siege equipment with the only casualties being your companions. Three, and perhaps most significant, your troops won't be dying all the time during the winter siege due to colds and sickness.
This is my first post so let me know what you guys think, maybe I can tone this down to like one paragraph or something heh.
TL;DR: Put all of your troops in the "Quarters" option of the UI bar or whatever it's called to reduce causalities and siege inconveniences.
