true but for so big terain you need around 18-20 lords got 12 , and i can use patrols i know but than il make no profit , but my kingdom is growing and il make it difficulter than :p
 
try making enterprises in all the cities, it will really BOOOOST your income. Then try to participate in tournaments as much as possible (and winning ofcourse :wink: )

then try to give your lords some extra money, this seems to boost their party sizes, without costing a weekly pay to you, plus alows them to improve their fiefs more.

The return of the dreaded Flower Kingdom, ha ha HA. IN less than three months after starting this game, I have inadvertently gotten a town ! Oh ho!

Full sized images. Some are cropped, but the resolution is 1980x1080, so some are very large.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It all started innocently enough. Lady Sasaku led a force to provide peacekeeping muscle on the Aden/Villian border.

mb09.jpg

These shields look a lot nicer than before. I recall when they were flat and dull colored black on white or whatever. Much improved!

mb18.jpg


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I found this amazing weapon. Just look at that thing. Can't couch, but if you stab someone in the head at a decent speed, they're probaly going down.

mb22.jpg


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some of the forces were less than willing to lay down their arms. In fact, they were more willing to lay down their lives. Oh well !

mb23.jpg


mb24.jpg

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Having to deal with the evil Villianese, that had given us trouble in the past, led to an evolution of tactics.

Borrowing from their neighbours, meet the new Antaria's Mounted Infantry division! Not pictured here: Antarian infantry who are running in just behind the mounted troops. Using horse to shield the foot with their bodies and shields as well as provide momentum to a head-on charge and of course intimidation is only one way to use these forces.

mb26.jpg


mb29.jpg


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was only a matter of time before the inevitable happened. The Villianese would not hold to the ceasefire, and thus we were forced to disarm them by use of force.

A real pity that we also removed some of their actual arms...

mb33.jpg


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ymira, our resident, uh, someone, decides that perhaps battle is not for her !

mb36.jpg

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another use of the mounted infantry. Here they attack the enemy from the side or rear, as more conventional foot attack by the most direct means. This massive bandit army is about to be "disarmed".

mb38.jpg

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Villianese have decided that open conflict is preferable to peace. With a sigh, we proceeded to enforce the peace with our swords.

mb42.jpg

mb45.jpg


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

mb47.jpg


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Attempts at integrating ranged warfare into the mounted cavalry corps proved less than profitable.

mb50.jpg

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Rhodoks, from far away, somehow decided to disturb our mission. We were forced to dispatch them.

They were more than prepared to face an Adenian cavalry charge. However, they did not expect for the horse to only walk into their formation - and when they saw the massive two handed weapons of the foot in their midst, it was too late.

mb52.jpg


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We also had to deal with more bandit scum.

mb53.jpg


mb54.jpg


mb55.jpg


mb56.jpg

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We had ... misunderstandings with a Swadian force. A little friendly fire. Here you can see some of the foot rushing ahead of the horse, who were not to lead the way.

mb58.jpg

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By the way, we were forced to evict the Villianese from one of their illegal settlements in the Ceasefire area.

This was totally legitimate. As part of our continued presence in the area, this town would act as a staging ground for future justified uses of force in the area.

mb62.jpg

The Flower Kingdom is here to stay ~~
 
Well, here come the Villianese. 7 Lords descend upon our base camp. However, their leader can be picked off, which will surely throw them into disarray and confusion.

mb01.jpg


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sometimes the dialogue just gets cut off, which is really odd. I think the flags are what cause it.

mb05.jpg


mb06.jpg


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Villianese were expecting an easy shooting line victory. They were very wrong.

mb07.jpg

mb13.jpg

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We terminated many of the aggressors.

mb11.jpg


mb15.jpg


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The rest of them were forced to retreat in order to regroup after their leadership was taken away.

mb17.jpg


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cholt Castle, sitting in our "rear", had to taken away from the enemy. Otherwise, they would encircle us, leading to an untenable strategic situation.

mb20.jpg


mb21.jpg


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some Adenians were rescued from the Aden-Villian war, and joined our forces!

mb22.jpg
mb23.jpg


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The res of the Villianese grouped and and resolved to bravely kill villagers. We will punish them for this!

Two more of the greedy fools decided to burn another of our villages. This time, we can stop them !

mb26.jpg


mb28.jpg

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first battle is easily won.

mb36.jpg


mb39.jpg


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The second round went similarly. They attempted to form in a dense formation but with relatively light infantry and archers, this only delayed their deaths for as long as it took for the infantry to walk up to their formation.

mb41.jpg


mb42.jpg


mb49.jpg


mb50.jpg
mb51.jpg


mb52.jpg


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Attempts to integrate archery into the mounted infantry forces were less than successful. Took far too much training to be viable on a large scale.

mb54.jpg


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Approach type 2. A loose formation. Designed to disrupt long shooting lines and minimize losses. Not for attacking formed infantry blocks.
mb56.jpg


mb57.jpg

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It appears that the horses are in far greater danger than their riders, by the way.

mb58.jpg


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We will next purge Mulanog, where the Villianese forces are suspected to be equipped and trained in secret camps. It is important to remove their planned hardpoints of Adeh and Lagadim Castles, if possible.

mb59.jpg


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have discovered where all the "bandits" are coming from. It's Villianese in disguise! We will deliver a through purging!

mb61.jpg

By the way, when both armies form up into long loose lines during a duel? It makes the enemy really weak to something like cavalry. They are getting ripped up less than a minute after the duel ends.

Also, if you can catch an enemy near one of their villages, the "assisting" villagers will fill up their army slots, often taking up 1/2 to 1/3 of their force, making attacking them much esier!
 
We continue to inflict horrendous losses on the oncoming Villianese. One point to be aware of is that you can't shoot though a shield held (but not raised) however it seems you can thrust a melee weapon through it.

No wait, I'm friendly ! I'm on a charger too ~~~

sod03-007.jpg




Having your troops on TOP of the AI's spawn point can be good or bad. Mainly, if your horsemen have the elite infantry spawn on them, you're GOING to lose some.

On the other hand, with the Villianese, it's even more likely they sharpshooters and chiefs will spawn with your horsemen in their face. Or even if they pull out infantry, your own Antarians are right in there with them. Slaughter.

Some point in the midst of all this, some idiot Adenese wandered into the demilitarized zone and attacked our military base in Mulanog.

We would be able to engage three groups of them at once, possibly removing the issue for a while.

sod03-019.jpg



sod03-020.jpg




And yes, one of those idiots was their own king. Well, it's time for a real fight. Lances, here we ...

What were you drinking? (I guess he got stuck and dismounted). As you can imagine the duel was over fairly quickly.

Oh thanks, you made me very proud :oops:
Ohh I just realized we're a little off topic. So let me remedy that:

I am planning to conquer all the Ponavosa with my merchant army, like jews. In here we are conducting a secret meeting in the Applegrove. My consultant is recommending me to invest money on apples on applegrove. According to his financial report, Applegrove has many growing apple farms.

And the mother guy here is my accounter. He is presenting me the weekly revenue report.

Hmm, we have a bigger profit this week as it seems.

Edit: I hope you don't skip the texts between images. I know they are hard to notice, but give it a try eh :smile:

The continuing saga of the Flower Kingdom's humanitarian intervention ...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

With the tenacity to be expected of fanatics, the Villianese extremists continue their fight. The Flower Kingdom's mounted infantry formations have gotten well trained in "approach under missile attack" maneuvers.
sod05-001.jpg


sod05-002.jpg


I really liked this one. From the crossbowmen in the very front stopping to aim their weapons to the obvious line of horsemen about to begin a charge. The Villianese are due another thrashing.
sod05-003.jpg


Even though they don't carry big two handed weapon, don't underestimate the Antarian Guard and Rhodok Sergeants !
sod05-004.jpg



A nice shot of the rare Flower Kingdom missile line. (I gave the troops to Lord Udon later, he comes from Marianan lands).
IMG]http://i924.photobucket.com/albums/ad81/Alavaria/SOD%2005/sod05-005.jpg[/IMG]


An all-too common Villianese missile line. Very brittle.
sod05-013.jpg


sod05-014.jpg

It looks like that crossbowman is leaning back to avoid losing his head, but actually he was shot and is falling over backwards.
sod05-015.jpg

A few Rhodoks manage to clear the walls briefly. Attract the ire of all the nearby archers, as well...

Yet another friend of peace has decided to join us.

sod05-021.jpg
 
The stomping of Villianese faces continues. The shielded charger-riding plate-wearing mounted infantry continue to wreak intimidating losses on the enemy.

The enemy tries to strike a brave blow against your capital. They can't be allowed to just walk away from this.

Great screenshots and I love the narrative. When I test I don't have time to track this kind of play, so it's really neat to see someone put the effort into tracking this stuff.

Small point:
Gonfalons are banners held from the top. In the duel text issue described above, the gonfalon is obscuring the text.

It's picky, but it's kind of cool to know at the same time. Great article on heraldry here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heraldic_flag
It can lead you into finding gems like this: "Move as swift as a wind, stay as silent as forest, attack as fierce as fire, undefeatable defense like a mountain."
 
This is by NO MEANS unusual. Mind you, Bolion is a forward position of the Flower Kingdom, it has (I think) the full compliment of 30 archers, 25 Elite and 75 Veteran Infantry. But of course the AI can overrun them in autoresolve, so getting there in time is KEY !
sod07b-001.jpg


sod07b-002.jpg



Usually they don't come for a second try, but hey, 130 defenders against 814 is still good odds for the attackers, right?
sod07b-003.jpg



Now they break. We run out to find out all the Adenian horsemen have died on our walls, so we just trample all their foot troops. And that's an Adenian campaign crushed, excellent.
sod07b-004.jpg


Lords seem to like joining me of their own account. This is the second, I believe.

sod07b-005.jpg


Somehow the Villianese don't get it, I guess it's a better bet than being trampled in the open field. Not that great an option though.
sod07b-006.jpg


sod07b-007.jpg



sod07b-008.jpg


Stomping on more Villianese.
sod07b-009.jpg



This is a pretty brave assault. Instead of gonig for the weaker Ashberry, they went for Mulanog instead. Interesting choice and a fairly massive army.
