Recruit
This is my first play through of this mod and I was a mercenary for the fierdsvain army at day 200+ having around 60+ mixed of cavalry units(adventurers, rogue knights, mercs and various other horsemen) and enterprises in almost all towns. I earn my gold by capturing Lords and asking for ransoms and collecting taxes for Lords but not returning them.
So one day I saw the notice that the Noldors are sieging Laria and I decided to take the opportunity to have a town for myself. I don't know how to prematurely end my mercenary contract so I ask the fierdsvain king to make me a vassal so that he can grant me as lord of the town. I scare some Sarleons villagers without attacking them to get hostile status so I can siege Laria and then I rode to Laria. Laria was already sacked by the Noldors when I reached there leaving around 40 soldiers who surrender the town to me without a fight.
And here comes the problem. Fast forward a few days, I have 100+ troops garrisoned in Laria and we are at war with the D'Shar. Before I know it the D'Shar are riding towards my town fielding a total of 1600+ strong! I tried to defend the town with another lord who happens to be in my town(he only have 30 soldiers).
But when we get into the fight, only a total of 6 of us spawn vs the enemy with more than a 100! Madness! Even our reinforcement comes in waves of 6! It's impossible! No matter how high tier my units are they can't survive being hit from all directions.
So please help me, I do not want to lose my first ever town in warband(I only got the game recently and this is my first town). Is it a bug that my forces spawn with only 6 soldiers vs their 100+ or is it meant to be this way because of our number difference? Battle size is set at 150.
I have tried to find ways to prevent the siege itself like trying to exploit the AI by looting a village to see if they would rush to the village's aid but they have done sieging it after I travel half of Pendor across to their desert.
So great Kings, Captains and Lords of Pendor, what would you suggest that I do to defend Laria?
