Getting raped after Conquest a Town

[FI0RE]

Hey guys, i know this forum probably have many topics like that, but i do not see a keyword for that, so here i go:

First of all i am from Brazil, so i dont know english very well, sorry about that.

A) I am at day 447, i have enough money like 480k, my Griffins were leveled 3 times, but thats not the problem, i conquered Ishkoman, and now i cant go far from my Town and village or they will be destroyed by Frieds, Ravs, and D'shar, the D'shar especially are very annoying because every time they come with 700+ man's clamming for lost territory to raid my villages and i can't do nothing, i will have peace someday ? can someone advice a way to me ? i do EVERYTHING

B) About recruting lords, im afraid to get a lords who has a fief too far away from my towm, that is a problem ?

Stats:
renowm: 3444
honor: 128
rtr: 45

Try to capture a nearby castle asap - the AI tends to go after the last stronghold they lost - means D´Shar will gladly aim for the - compared to your city - weakly defended castle.

If you´re now lucky enough Fierdsvain, D´Shar and Ravenstern will finally declare war on each other and get rid of a smaller problem of yours. Try to keep your villages safely in order to be able to recruit and replace losses fast.

It isn´t a bad idea to recruit a few lords who are far away - better his land gets torched than yours. It could help relieving the strain on your hopeless defensive tactics and give you the little breather you need to raise personal morale.

Luring a certain type of army close to Ishkoman may help as well. A little Snake Cult Army, anyone? Feed off the leftovers, recruit tons of prisoners, boost your garrison, make profit!

Capture their dukes/kings/ marhsalls, they will ask for peace pretty quick.
With that kind of money you can hire a very strong mercenary army to defend your fief while you go out with recruits and build your army on the way.
You can't do any thing about the villages...capture other castles/ towns and divert the attention to them. Sometimes i just capture/recapture a castle until the war is over, usally the easiest....did that with the empire and Maras castle.

Pick your lords with attention, no weaklings

 

[tianyadaniel]

recruit your lords carefilly.
pick those tough lords with household elite soliders, like grey archers/adventurers/rogue knights.
pick those honourable lords, they don't complain much when you give other fiefs, the way to tell thme from unhonourable lords is, when you capture and release them after battle, they'll appreciate you, not saying mean words instead.
so, it's a good idea to give honourable tough lords castles, they can easily raise an army of 150+ with 40-50 household soldiers, very helpful in the battlefield.

Sounds like you really need more right to rule. Pretty rare to get them coming at you from all over so early.. Would expect it if you wipe out 2 factions and absorb most of their vassals. Get those companions out spreading the word about your right to rule. Hire every companion for that, the others you can later dismiss or turn to lords.

Thankyou so much guys, really helped me.

Now how do I know if the Lord is honorable?

I try to catch those who has more renowm, but all fief's very far.

About luring unique spawns, i can not move away from the city, or it will be besieged, I really can not use time.

About rtr, how much would be ideal? I started too early?

I can't help my villages ? It is all damaged and when i repair something its looted again..

Many thanks

One can usually tell wether or not a lord is honourable by the way he talks to you. Eg. after you defeated and released them the dishonourable will tell you how  much fun you  must have had defeating them and releasing them afterwards whereas the honourable ones congratulate you to your victory.

Just keep on talking to them and you´ll soon get the feeling for it. If you don´t - the honourable lords are those who miracously start to like you for acting nicely (=high personal honor score).

eae blz ? ;P
Realmente é difícil começar o seu próprio reino, uma coisa que me ajudou muito foi que quando algum lord inimigo está atacando uma vila e vc ataca ele a batalha será dentro dessa vila e não uma normal, eu achei muito mais fácil lutar assim, mas meio que depende da vila, o layout muda dependendo da localização e cultura, as vilas dos d'shar são as piores pra isso, mas foi na vila kwym que eu consegui derrotar uns 4 ou 5 lords de uma só vez, ai capturei e mantive eles prisioneiros pra facilitar um pouco (quanto menos lords inimigos livres melhor), ai eu comecei a fazer iso, esperar alguém tentar saquear a vila ia lá e arregaçava.

Outra coisa é ter muitas e muitas unidades de arqueiros/crossbowmen, os melhores são os Ravernsten rangers ou os Empire armored crossbowmen, na verdade o ideal seria que vc já tivesse vários deles treinados antes de tomar uma cidade claro, pq com uns 80 ravernsten rangers vc consegue segurar uma siege melhor, dependendo de quanto tactics vc tem na sua party vc consegue segurar tranquilo uma siege de mais de 1.5k inimigos com umas 150 unidades, porque em uma siege os defensores tem munição infinita, e o melhor é que eles vão continuar atacando e sendo aniquilados, cada vez diminuindo mais e mais os números deles até que em algum momento vc sai da cidade e faz a limpa.

E uma se vc fundou o reino com a cultura de pendor eu recomendo altamente que vc funde a ordem dos Knights of the ebony gauntlet, eles são muito fodas, os silvermist rangers são bons, mas os ebony gauntlets arregaçam tanto em ranged como em melee.

E tb a forma mais rápido e fácil de conseguir alguns lords para o seu reino é dar fiefs para os seus companions.

Outra coisa é que eu recomendo vc dar uma mexida nas configurações do mod com o tweakMB, eu geralmente mudo o quanto de moral cada ponto de leadership da para poder ter um exercito maior sem problemas, mudo a taxa de chance que um lord inimigo tem de escapar após uma batalha de 70 para 50%, oque é justo na minha opinião sendo que vc tem 0% de chance de escapar se perder, e também mudo a quantidade de honra perdida quando negando a soltura de um lord com pagamento de resgate, pq ai eu posso continuar negando sem problemas, uma vez que vc solte um lord ele vai estar com um exercito pronto pra te encher o saco uns 10 minutos depois, então no começo, quando vc não tem muitos lords do seu lado ajuda muito diminuir o numero de lords nos lados inimigos.

Thankyou noosers, i really did not know that about honourable lords.

Now i'm doing pretty good, i started to take lords as prisioners, including the king of D'shar, that helped me alot, and i have two or three lords as prisioners with high relation and great renown, like 1100+, how i can discover if they are honourable or not? Should i release them and take them after to see that ?

 

[NicotiN]

That's not important, look at the lords wich have troops you like and release them after defeat to see what happens. You don't need good relations with many lords. Besides...most lords are honorable and you will make some companions lords and will get by default some lords when you eliminate a faction.
Sooooo don't worry about it, pick about 10 lords and you can ignore the rest( pick from all factions the strongest )

 

[AxeMaster3]

Kavian Kahn is a good example of an honorable lord. Every time you release a lord after battle, your relation goes up with the most honorable lords from every faction. Thus explaining the high relation when you first meet them. Kavian has the Djah archers and he is the lord I get to be marshal. While Im out saving the poor villagers from hairybreeks and olaf, He is taking their castles. The more property you give them, the more troops they spawn with.

I can't help my villages ? It is all damaged and when i repair something its looted again..

Build the skilled craftsman. They will repair the damage that was done by the raiders.
