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]
I joined the Aserai faction because I love their heavely armored cav archers (and screw their royal line, they die super quick) recently I got the perk to transfer bandits into regular troops and started capturing forest bandits. In the meantime we were at war with the southern kingdom and I wanted to try the power of my new battanian fians. So I decided to take my 270 ish troops (160 mamaluke heavy can archers and 110 battanian fian champions) to vostrum, a city guarded by over 1000 troops.
I started the seige and to my suprise they rushed out. With battle size of 1000 their cav archers were almost instantly killed due to my defensive formation. Then their cav started to charge, all dead before they even managed to reach my archer line.
Then their archers moved in front, almost half of them were dead before they got back behind their infantry. The infantry was too slow to get to me and I send my cav archers to flank and shoot them in the back. Every lord got captured and all troops were killed, routed or captured.
Then I continued the siege but there were no defenders left, so as soon as I hit the lead an attack I could just walk in and the city was mine with almost no losses.
Question Time: Why would the militia charge out? Has this happened to anybody else? Please, tell me your stories
