I need help.
I conquered my first castle after finishing the main questline ( loved the story ). Every faction, except Kingdom of Northhymbre, suddenly got -2 relations with me. Just like that, no warning, 250 - 500 sized armies siege my forts and a myriad of 50 sized armies looting my villages ( imaging trying to knock away a fly from your face ).
This is the current map http://i.imgur.com/9Sfc8X2.jpg?2 . I own Dunwic, Norwic, Haeglisdun (Mierce Siege), Rendlaeshburh (West Seaxe Siege) and off course the adjacent villages ( all of which are either looted or in the process of being raided by minor lords ).
Here are the faction relations: http://i.imgur.com/gXSSdbG.jpg?2 and http://i.imgur.com/qp2uffQ.jpg?1 I managed to make peace to Connachta, Friese and Laithlind by sending emissaries. Denmark became peaceful because I helped an random enemy Dane lord fight a small viking skirmish.
I've beaten back many great armies, but my forces dwindle over time. I feel like I should have known this before I started my own kingdom. I thought 600 ( mostly veteran status ), 60 000 peningas, low campaign A.I. and 80 Right to Rule would do the trick, but I didn't foresee the -2 relations, ergo automatically war with every single faction at once. I guess I'm stupid.
How do I survive?
