What did I get myself into?

[superman7808]

I have officially destroyed the vaegirs, it said in the in game message that they are no more, the sith order is on the rise! Anyway, the faction that I used to work for, the nords are extremely powerful, so much so that every faction has declared war on them, I have as well, everything was fine until I noticed for every castle/town that I took from them, the nords took one from me, khudan had 300 troops!! After I took Curaw from the nords BOOM khudan taken in an instant, is this a glitch or am I missing something? Please help what did I get myself into?!

Well it's possible the nords are just sieging you as fast as you are them. Are you noticing any reports on the bottom of your screen warning you about enemy troops spotted in certain areas or it alerting you that towns and castles are under siege?

No that's the problem, no warning no message, nothing, just as soon as I exit a castle i just raided, I find out that one of mine have been taken as well.

That'll happen when you've got the difficulty anywhere north of medium. When you're playing >normal you don't go after the big fish until you are also a big fish.

The normal tactic I've noticed when multiple nations are at war with one powerful nation, the powerful nation will attack the weakest nation it is at war with. Either in land mass or number of lords. You should seek a truce with the nords and allow the other nations to widdle them down a bit. Just secure your primary territories as best as you can and hunker down for the minimum number of days until you can truce. Then watch the other nations either get pwnd or pwn the nords.

You can also consider attacking the next weakest nation to gain more territory and lords after you make peace with the nords. More lords = more armies and more armies = better chance against a larger nation.
