Can you solo with 100% autoresolve and 0 companion? Here are some of my ideas.

Suppose you want to do 100% autoresolve and have no companion. If you solo or have a wife who cannot do or learn engineering, you can learn engineering by faking sieges. Is it dangerous to fake sieges? Yes, it can be. You can leave your siege any time, except that you will be disorganized. When a lot of enemies come to attack you, you will have to run fast. With close to 200 troops, I run a normal speed of 4.2. So, even in a disorganized state, I can outrun most armies. The problem is actually the spectators surrounding the siege. The AI will chain them up as if they are an army. So, you have to leave the siege early and quickly when there are too many smaller parties around. You can wait until a kingdom is being attacked by another kingdom, so it does not have enough manpower to deal with you. Or you can fake-siege a rebel clan that is occupying a town. If you have a very strong party of 300+, you can even set yourself as a trap. Leaving the siege will attract your enemy army to attack you. I killed a bunch of smaller spectators after leaving some sieges cause I outran them easily. A couple of fake sieges can raise your engineering from level 0 to 20. If you keep doing it, you can get to level 50 which is good enough for attacking a level 1 wall with level 0 or 1 siege engines. Or you can buy a castle and learn engineering by defending a siege. In the long run, however, you will need engineering one way or another. submitted by /u/hau4300 [link] [comments]
