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...
So I started a war with Vlandians and took their stuff one by one. That costed me 15 clan deaths including 3 family members btw (death rates are somehow messed up in my game).
Now they just rape villages here and there, and my vassals are dumb enough to be absolutely ineffective in defending the territory. King DeepRects' clan itself has like 15 active parties (which is not fair, as my t6 clan can field only 4 parties). They recruited absolutely all minor factions despite being broke and homeless. When I win a battle vs minor faction squad they just spawn in again decked out with high-end troops. If a MF member dies, their clan instantly gets a brand new dude with good skill level. If I recruit a minor faction, it works for a month or so, then they leave (sometimes right during the fight set up and suddenly I have 50% less troops). And running around to make a deal with MF takes too much time and just not fun.
Having won several hundreds battles without losing a single one, took all their land, threw every their lord into dungeon 20 times, and yet they are sure that I have to pay 2000K/day to those hobos.
I don't want to pay because that would fuel their guerilla warfare even more. And I don't want to persuade their clans to join because they became trash after such a long campaign, with half of their members dead.
I don't want to chop off their stupid pots in this playthrough because it leads the game to dark temptation of repeated mass war crime (and it's ineffective vs minor factions because of their insta-respawn - the only time I got a MF wiped out when I destroyed a kingdom and said minor faction was the member at the moment).
What's the best strategy at this point? Pay them and secure the land, wait before their clans run away and restart the war to get better terms?
