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...
Ok, so for those who don't know, the Iltanlar were a people related to the Khergits. However, instead of being steppe nomads, they actually lived in the mountains. They used to inhabit the area around Mt.Iltan, so basically the territory between Tial and Baltakhand, at least if the flavour text is anything to go by. Ultimately, they got assimilated by the Khergits and the larger Khuzait horde.
For this RP I created a Khuzait dude named Khomar, of clan Unggun, who specialized in athletics, archery, one-handed, and polearm. No mounted specialization, since you can't ride horses in the mountains, at least, not efficiently.
So I started out. Spawned near Makeb, as all sandbox Khuzait characters do (I really wish we could spawn in a random town of our culture in sandbox). Immediately found a Khuzait thief companion in the tavern. Set out toward Baltakhand, recruiting villagers and fighting bandits.
Well, I don't know about you, but I actually suck as an infantry unit. I don't know if it's Bannerlord that's so unbalanced (those looters are terrible!), or if I'm just this bad, but we'd get our arses handed to us more often than not. I even once managed to fail a hideout raid because of it (consequently losing all of the Borrowed Troops I needed to train for a village quest), then we got piled on by steppe bandits. In another battle, we got overwhelmed by the looters, and the whole encounter was carried, and saved by a lone Nobleman's Son, who would pick out the remaining looters one by one. Truly a hero for all times!
Gah! I should just stick to what I'm good at: mounted archery and polearm combat. >.<
