Eschaton
So I'm near the endgame where it's just me who has half the map and the Fierdsvain who owns half the map...they waged war on me but I have a nice amount of very tough CKOs now, so I thought, what the hell, let's do it...so they were sieging Sarleon (one of my towns), and I've had no problems with sieges so far, easily repelling 2000 men with 200-300 of my own. I noticed there was an awful lot of lords though, so I quickly dashed into town, and as they went in to start the siege, I saw this:
What?????????
This number isn't a product of a unique spawn prisoner train capture. It's the 60 or so lords in the Fierdsvain put together; and even though some of them have no fiefs, they still field 60-90 troops. Put it all together...10000 troops in total, and that's not even all their lords.
How am I supposed to win the game now? Even if I had 200 Demonic Magni in my army it wouldn't work, because 1) of battle advantage, I can only have around 17 troops on the field whilst the Fierdsvain can have around 170 odd, and 2) Sarleon happens to be poor to defend in the first place, because unlike most towns with a narrow entrance to the ladder, Sarleon has a big hole in the wall where troops can just spill in.
The fact they can have so many lords is very upsetting to game balance. I only have 7 or 8 lords because it would be impossible to keep all lords happy as when defeated they lose a point of favour, and they get defeated incredibly often, thanks to unique spawns.
I feel like this is a reason to enable cheats but I don't want to lose the achievements by getting the cheater achievement.
Thoughts anyone?
