I'm 20 hours into the game and this was the greatest battle yet

They waited while we built our camp, and reinforcements arrived. Two of our mercenary clans abandoned the army and our numbers dropped to half of the enemies. They grew to around a 1000 and attacked us. We held a very powerful defensive point with the river next to us and behind us was a chunk of land where we kept the archers, connected by a bridge which our infantry protected. Their cavalry couldn't flank us and our horsemen (lead by me) would constantly kite the enemy, causing confusion and chaos amongst the ranks, completely disrupting their advancement. It became a massacre for awhile but there was so many of them. I was downed around the 3/4 mark of the battle. Never realised just how powerful a big crossbow volley can be, even when your charging through on a really fast horse lmao. But we still won. We pressed on with the siege. It was decisive, but we outfought them and took control of Epicrotea... for now. submitted by /u/Gankyuns [link] [comments]
