Sergeant at Arms
Im a Lady of the Rhodoks and have Vyincourd castle with 200 Sergeants and 500 Sharpshooters,so Im not afraid of that being taken or anyother castle but what I am afraid of is that they will never be defeated We went on a campaign and took Weyahh Castle,5 mins later it's theres again and this has happend in previous wars with them in the same game,whats the best tatics to defeating the Saranaids I usualy try and stop any marshall army from taking back what was theres I have 540 Renown and 11 Controversy can I be Marshall with Controversy or does that not matter.
 
Somehow, my army of Khergit Lancers just run over them and win. I suppose any other type of cavalry could do the same. The fight lasts longer when there are Mamelukes around, so I specifically hunt them down before going after their infantry.

To me, the Sarranids are only a threat in a siege when they have plenty of chances to send their javelins flying around before you reach 'em.
 
They are extremely easy to beat. Once their mamelukes are down, they're done for. How hard is it to kill a bunch of guys in pajamas?

I find that Khergit Lancers are very easy to attain.

In truth, however, I hated the lords in Khergit Khanate, so I invaded their castle and founded my kingdom from there. :mrgreen:
 
Sarranids: Decent archers (if you want to use them) and Mameluks are excellent Hcav. Otherwise... nothing special.

I usually use all Hcav, and have no experience playing as a Rhodak, so I really can't advise in the OP's scenario.

Khergits: I like them in principal, but they are too easy to take out. Their Lancers seem to have a higher casualty rate than other high tier cavalry (possibly because they are tier 4), otherwise they'd be my favorite.
 
I have 52 right to rule and 500 honor and 100 relation with most lords in the game I made my own faction by asking my Husband how he felt about his liege then I said "I am the right ful queen of Calraida" and then he said "Then I will help you to claim you're throne" I have Count Nealacha and Vyincourd Castle with 200 Sergeatns and 500 Sharpshooters in it so it's safe should I countinue the war with the Rhodoks or make peace to gather more lords?

I'm a peace-loving dude, but should anyone declare war on me, I'd kick their ass real hard. What I'm saying is you might want to continue the war until they decide to offer a truce.
 
THe thing I notice about the Sarranids is contrast to pretty much everyone else is that they are lol-weaklings right until they become the top tier of whatever their troop tree is (Mamluke, Guard, Master Archer) then they hit puberty r something and start killing things. I've not fought them in a siege though, but I was a vassal for them a long time ago in another playthrough and it was sweet!
 
Let me get this right - you have 500 honour? Wow I didn't think it went beyond 100!

You have 700 troops in one castle? Even cheapy Rhodocks would be expensive to keep in those numbers. I think even my principle character would find it difficult to keep them all.

Why don't you take half of em and take over Calradia?
