Make a elite cataphract force of 50 than charge them to their horse division. Elite cataphracts are superior in all ways. Then, charge the horses on to the pikeman and archers then charge the soldiers and arrows. Dont forget that these has to be mostly legionaries. I hope my tips help. submitted by /u/Visible_Tax7920 [link] [comments]
Hello all,
Skip ahead to the TLDR if you dont want to read my rambling :p
So I may have jumped the gun a little on branching off on my own. I spent about the first 125 days of my game slowly building up my army by killing raiders and collecting noble companions. Then moved onto Swadia to work as a mercenary. Once I got to around 60 troops, a fair mix of Swadian Knights and Sharpshooters, I went and attacked a Vaegir castle (I think it is called Hanun?). It is on a mountain between the Khergit and Vaegir boarder at the bottom of the map.
Once i took the castle, it took me a looooong time and a lot of fighting and begging to finally get peace with the Vaegirs. It was a lot of patrolling my small area, killing off the groups of 20-100 Vaegir lords that came too close, looting the 2 nearest villages to get some monies, then transferring most of my army to the garrison so i could book it to the nearest Khergit city to sell stuff then high tale it back. Just before I finally made peace with Vaegirs, I surrendered my only town to Alayen so I could set him to patrol and go off to do more recruiting. Now we are at peace, i trained up 35 mamlukes for Alayen and grew my army to 75 and I kinda feel stuck now with where to go. Going back to war with Vaegirs seems a bad idea since territory would mean i am very spread out. I am thinking I want to take the Khergit castle that is right beside mine, then assign another companion the castle and hopefully trade the village with the one Alayen currently has jsut so i can keep my fief's closer.
I am worried though that if i declare war on Khergit, I wont be able to get peace again for a long time and of course if the Vaegirs declare war in that time, i dont think i will be able to hold.
Obviously i am aware there are repercussions for my actions in starting a war and i cannot expect to just take a castle and get peace. But after we have been at war for a bit of time, are there tricks to getting peace? I think the only reason i managed to get peace with the Vaegirs is because i beat up their lords enough times it was starting to be taxing on them.
TLDR: Got in over my head and am struggling with ways to expand a new Kingdom. Looking for tips on building relations with other lords and having truce treaties approved. Also worth noting I am on console so no mod access!
