Anathema Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Meanwhile Arrowsmith is leading the campaign against the bandit threat. It's a nice distraction, but mobs of bandits are no match for soldiers trained by the standards of king Usuls army. So Arrowsmith writes a letter to king Usus, requesting that he may lead addional forces to reinforce MRs holdup in enemy territory. One of Arrowsmiths subordinate officers will be left in charge of the campaign against the bandits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usul Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 I agree with Arrowsmiths proposal as we need mor men on the frount line. Cavalry make small raids on isolated farmsteads and unprotected roads near my lands to reduce TH supplies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Meanwhile, spies operating within Twin heads command structure, inform us that the first group of enemy soldiers is on his way to take back their county. An ambush is laid, and the enemy troops are killed before they reach our encampment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twin-Head Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 I call back MR and his troops and plan the attack on TH. We launch our attack against his weakest province with cavalry, infantry and have the dragon in reserve.At first the attack goes well however the enemy start to cause more casulties so the dragon is called in. Needless to say we win although we lose 25 men (half my attacking army) in the process.What happened to 3 times as many men to take over???[Read the rules]---------------------------------------------Our 4 Catapaults Destroy over half of his warriors. I don't think you are allowed to control a dragon. We recapture our province and cantact this roland. " we are in need of your service. We have a war."Castle 3 90% completeMen: 401Catapaults: 7[if you have a dragon, i should be able to use magic, so can i?]Archers: 129Calvary: 374Knights: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Sadukar Posted September 12, 2002 Author Share Posted September 12, 2002 TH, Usul didn't "build" the dragons, it chose to join him, if you read my last post, you would also know that you have recived 200 brignas/footmen, whic rughly have the same value as the dragon. and you are right about the rules, so before you attack write hwo many troops you bring.

Twin-Head Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Yea, but i had 75 men in each province. You lost more that 25. Saraduker is suposed to say how much you lose. and when you attacked, we sent more warriors, so your dragon would have died...------------------------------------------------Castle 3 100% completeGold 18,000Spending 7,000 on warriors.11,000 leftoffering 10,000 gold for an alliance [Ex]712 Men-at-arms203 archers401 calvary8 catapaults3 ballistas[huge crossbows]3 pots of burning oil in each tower on each castle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usul Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 You didn't say that. Anyway how can you attack and take over if I have men and a dragon and beat you anyway if you say but we sent more troops. You couldn't have reacted that fast.

The_Sadukar Posted September 12, 2002 Author Share Posted September 12, 2002 TH you know the each post, yuo only get get 50 men, whic gown down whit 5 for each knght you give a fief, (then the troops go to the knight, who is supposed to be loyal to you, so it won't make a diffrence) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin-Head Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 What i'm saying is when your people attacked, reinforcements came, so by the time your dragon got there, reenforsments were already there. plus we had a wall and 4 catapaults and 2 ballistas there to defend. the ballistas can help to destroy your dragon. You can't just takeover in one post, and you have to have 3 times as much and 5 times [i think] to permanatly take over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usul Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 I said I attacked your weakest province so you would't have a castle. Anyway dragons fly pretty fast and reserves are usualy kept close to the main army anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Sadukar Posted September 12, 2002 Author Share Posted September 12, 2002 nearly right TH, when taking a county you lose half of you men, unless there I say otherwise.example: you have 50 men in our county, then Usul attacks you whit 150 men (minimum for a 50 garnison), then he loses 75 men in the battel, while you are wiped out, then in order to get you county back, you have to bring 225 men (3 times Usul's garnison) but if you bring 6 times as many men, you only lose lose 1/6 of your men.

Twin-Head Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 My provinces are right next to each other. My reenforcments arrived and i made a wall and had 4 catapaults and 2 ballistas to defend. i also has 200 men by the time his dragon got there, so how could he take over?

The_Sadukar Posted September 12, 2002 Author Share Posted September 12, 2002 if we say a dragon count for 200 footmen, but what metter is how big was your garnison?, and the way i see it you need 675 men to take back you county. when somebody attacks you can't bring reenforcments (no time) if you don't have a complete calstel wich would give you 1 post to get reenforcments.

Usul Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Meaning that I captured his county, he can't counter attack and he can't retake it because of a lack of troops (I think?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin-Head Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Whatever, i don't want to argue. i take over HIS weakst province. i send 300 men and 3 catapaults and 2 ballistas. I take over and only lose 1/6 of my army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usul Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 I attack with 525 men (I think thats right from 50 men per post and dragon against TH capital province (I can reach it right Sarduakar) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
