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...
There is much hate for Vlandia amongst my fellow Calradians. Let me take you and place you instead of at lance’s tip, instead into the Vlandian saddle. Many, if not all, the Vlandian lords have either impulsive, valorous, cruel, or closefisted, or a combination of these personality traits. This means that they will pursue gold, glory, and violence even against reason. Derthert, our cautious yet merciful lord. He doesn’t seek reproach, he does not move without thought. His barons are wily and voracious bastards and sons of mongrels. How can he reign in these lords with only a pittance of influence and a moderate income? He is a weak king at court but a strong king in battle. Perhaps, you may do him a favour and grant some quick and honourable deaths to his unruly barons who are cruel, impulsive, and closefisted.
Also: the wiki suggests that Derthert is based on Hugh Capet, king of the Franks
“One similarity between Derthert and Hugh Capet is their inability to gain the absolute loyalty of their vassals, which indicate their kingdoms' internal weaknesses. Hugh Capet's reign saw continual conflict between Eudes II (Odo II) and Fulk Nerra (Fulk III) of Anjou. Hugh Capet later supported Fulk Nerra. Subsequently, Eudes organized an unsuccessful conspiracy. The conspiracy was to kidnap Hugh Capet and his son, and deliver them to Otto III, the Holy Roman Emperor. Hugh Capet's lack of authority was epitomized when no one was punished for the conspiracy.[3] Similarly, Derthert is unable to keep his vassals in line.”
If this is the case, then this explains the Vlandian aggression that players despise so much. 9th-12th France was a wild time.
