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...
I plan on getting the Jeremus equivalent laid/married early and often so that he can sire the most intelligent bloodline Calradia has ever seen. Should the worst ever happen in battle, or should time take its course, there would always be a Jeremus Jeremusson to take up the mantle of doctor for the party.
Ideally the head Jeremus would have 2 Jeremusson pupils at any given time. Each successor, in theory, possesses the skills and abilities of his predecessors as well as the vigour of youth.
We could go further. Given enough descendants, I'd love to form the Jemguard. A group of twelve warrior scholars, their devotion to book and blade eclipsed only by their absolute faith in the current Jeremus. The Jemguard is dressed in light-medium protective gear and armed with a trusty shortsword, shield as well as the signature quarterstaff. Metal staves would denote senior members. They exclusively fight as a unit surrounding the 2 pupils and Jeremus, most commonly fanned out in a circle. Only members of his bloodline may enter the group and the most senior of the Jemguard would be promoted to pupil rank should either of those be promoted to Jeremus or die.
The rituals specific to the Jemguard that ensure their fierce intellect and battle prowess are highly sought for but well hidden, obscured to those outside of the lineage. Curiously, they all seem to sport tonsure haircuts including the females and they engage in fierce sparring that leaves all members unconscious.
Their sigil is respected, feared and revered by commanders Calradia wide. They know that under this protection, battles will be that much more hard fought. Even a seasoned tactical veteran would break into a cold sweat, the men under this sign renowned to bring the wounded back from the brink of death, fighting fit for the next skirmish. Normally it'd be simple enough to find and target these combat medics and many tacticians make the mistake of underestimating the Jemguard once. Upon finding the men they've sent return with broken bones and covered in welts or not at all, many war parties reconsider engagement upon seeing this banner.
The Jeremus Clan words are 'The danger in the dosage'
