TIME DILATION
Ok, the situation is as follows: we have a village, we're a lord, but our units are still mediocre and clearly not enough to make an attempt for an independent kingdom. For this purpose, we embark on some bandit grinding, which for your convenience I'll leave out.
Just a screenshot of our current forces: you might think that with that much cavalry, we should be pretty badass, but a lot of them is light horsemen, and those guys aren't the most longevitous, if you catch my meaning
We notice that Gniezno, Poland's first capital, is under siege. Seems the Lithuanians don't piss around, we've taken a good number of polish castles already.
It was besieged by a single lord, though, and he got run off by the despicable potatoes.
We decide to lend a hand. The potatoes proceed to shit themselves:
Oh nothing, just wanted to rape your levy/militia army
Well, he has the support of another lord, but as you'll see, it's quite likely that they've been defeated in battle recently, as their forces resemble our peasant company from the early updates
Bloody peasants!
Bow down, suckah!
While returning home, we meet a bunch of our lords> I have to say, I like our kingdom's style of warfare
No doubt they'll besiege Jazdow, so we'll come back after we heal up a bit.
Yup
The siege takes a long time, and one of the potato lords apparently realizes that his planet needs him:
You're not going anywhere, sunshine!
Smugness levels rising, which results in:
Morale system seems to be broken. Our forces are owning the potatoes, but their morale is wavering...
We'll turn it off after this battle, since I also think it's the reason why the game's been suspiciously easy
After the battle we go grab some recruit, sicne our numbers have been thinned out a bit. Guess what castle's been besieged again:
When we get closer, he buggers off. Well, we're not losing this castle again, let's wait inside till he comes back
However:
Right, this belongs to the faction leader, who dislikes us, and is a moron. I mean, how French can you get? Ok, so he doesn't like me, but I'm trying to help out here...
We can't even go after the guy who's besieged it, since we get summoned to take part in the siege on Jazdow
Ladders, ladders never change
After being pushed off the ladder two times (!), we get tired of this, so we just tell our soldiers to fall back ten paces. The defenders seem to think that we're retreating so they follow us outside. Which may be considered an AI bug in the game, but we'll just ascribe it to an ingenious tactical move on our part. A feigned retreat, if you will.
Look at that beautiful ladder, so empty
Handfull of defenders left. Still, we did lose a lot of soldiers. Fortunately, they were other people's soldiers. So there is a silver lining
Victory. Another castle less for the poles, another more for us
Immediately after the siege:
The vultures are coming
Another one of our lords fighting the russians
After the battle:
The king who hates us decides to punish us by giving us a castle and town.
Maybe he did it ironically
Our throne room:
Beggars can't be choosers I guess
We also get Plock:
That's it for now, we lost a lot of units during this update and replaced them with Lithuanian ones. So the multikult is no more
