A poem from our Hero

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]

Pendor: Attacked the Snake fortress and lost all my troops, including companions! How? Why?

Those snaky bastards have a thousand troops in defence. I had to wait until I had my own kingdom before I could dare stand up to them. I gathered my six lords and 500 of my finest infantry for a total of over 1200 soldiers. We raced up the steps and forced our way into the courtyard after several minutes of intense fighting. I took out close to fifty badies before I got knocked out.

The status bar showed 2/3 allies and 1/3 enemies. Got it in the bag! I left the computer to get some stuff done. When I came back, the battle was over and the snakes were victorious, not me! Damn. As I exited, it told me that some of my companions were upset.

Being kicked back into the map, I saw that the snakes only had 500 units while I had considerably more. The game warned me that the snakes were sure to refill their garrison, so I figured I might as well attack again and see what happens.

I got knocked out a lot sooner. When I came back to the computer, I had taken the day! Yeah, me!

When I left, I was the only one in my party. None of my 500+ troops were with me. None of my companions were with me. What the hell happened? I've never had a battle where everyone died and I sure as hell never had a companion leave without notice.

When I arrived at my capital city, I found a companion in the tavern. He rejoined without mentioning what happened. Anyone know what happened with this?
