(WE SURVIVED AND PROSPERED) War Sails Part 5 Bannerlord DLC Gameplay
Hello and welcome back to War Sales and oh yeah, we’re back. We’re back. I’m trying very very hard to take this town and actually destroy as much as well as much as we can of the Vlandian forces. And so, as you see, we have uh we have an event. Yes, we have an event on our hands because we’re we’re obviously in a siege. You can see down at the bottom there, building my siege camp 10% of the way through. And uh it says, “You’ve been studying the walls of Yavik for days, and you see what appears to be a crack in one place, possibly the result of an old earthquake or just negligence. It’s hard to hit with your catapults, and the ground is too rocky to mine, but you reckon troops with pickaxes by themselves could bring it down, assuming they were willing to brave the storm of arrows and rocks that would no doubt come pouring from the battlements above.” All right, so we got a pretty significant, well, pretty significant choice here. Let’s have a look. Okay, so look at this. We can literally increase our siege progress by 20%, but we are going to lose 10 of our troops. It is a 100% chance, 100% chance to lose 10 of our troops and only an 80% chance to increase siege progress by 20%. For me personally, I don’t think that is actually worth it. Oh, this this is worth it. Okay, this is 100% worth it in my opinion. As you can see right here, look at the this this. Okay, this is what I was talking about. I you know, if you’ve been on my channel for a while, you may have seen me play the beta patch, at least the initial stages of the beta patch or didn’t see the later updates to it, but if you saw me play the the beta patch of this of the of the War Sales DLC, obviously without the DLC itself, you know, cuz everyone had access to this uh to this patch. And um basically if you saw me play that I I consistently talked about how uh should we say I maybe maybe I went on about it a bit too much but the fact is I would like to see big benefits and big penalties to these kinds of events. And that’s exactly what we’re seeing here. Look at this. I don’t know whether this was actually the case beforehand. I don’t think so somehow. Maybe maybe I’m wrong. Maybe I’m right. I don’t know. But whatever the case, I think I might actually select this. But we are going to then lose 10 of our troops. If we lose 10 of our troops, that’s pretty significant, isn’t it? We only have 162. The enemy has 317. I mean, you can see that right there. I think we are actually going to do it. Boom. And look at that. Instantaneous wall destruction. This has to be I think this is actually pretty incredible. Unfortunately, as you can see right here, because we’re no longer on the ocean waves, we’re having some issues with space. So, I’m going to have to actually get rid of some people here, which is not exactly great. Uh oh, I thought I had some Ah, okay, fine. I’m going to have to get rid of some people. I don’t really want to do this generally. I feel like this is a I I feel I feel like it’s a big waste, but you know, that’s just how it’s going to have to be because well, I I can’t I can’t not, you know, I can’t allow people to just, you know, run away from us. That would be extremely bad. Uh this is when I wish I had a I wish I had an engineering companion. Okay, so now here’s the thing. This is another problem that I have foreseen or should we say that not foreseen I have just seen because I didn’t uh didn’t expect this to be a problem but apparently it is. So uh you may be wondering what’s going on with our children. What’s going on with the fact that we want to get children to you know continue our uh our dynasty here. Uh we can’t do that. Yes, we can’t do that. And there’s a reason. Boom. This is our wife. This is our wife right here. And as you can see, she’s 50. Uh, that’s not going to happen. That’s not going to happen in a million years. That’s not going to happen. So, yeah. Uh, we are either going to be the last of our line or uh she’s going to die uh potentially or or we are going to die. It could be that Borgar dies and then um well, we have to well I I guess we have to continue playing on with her. Um but that’s the funny thing. I don’t really mind that too much. I think that’s actually okay. Uh, I think we probably will be fine because I mean, let’s face it, War Sales is actually coming out really, really soon. Literally probably um just over 24 hours from when I’m recording this. Uh, so you literally will be able to play and indeed I am going to probably be making a new probably making a new series because I there is no save game compatibility with the upgraded versions of the patch and I’d like to play with the release patch as well. Uh, so uh yeah, we’re probably going to do something like that and that’s going to mean that well me having children or or not having children in this case is not going to make any difference. But yeah, anyway, the fact is we’re going to make our way in straight away. I’m literally not even going to Should I Should I Should I do that? I’m I’m a little bit worried about this to be honest. Yeah, let’s go. Why not? We’ve gotten the walls down thanks to a random event or at least one of the walls down due to that. And hopefully hopefully we’re going to be okay. I don’t know if that’s going to be the case, but I will very much try to do what I can and we’re going to see. Okay. It’s It’s at night time as well. Ooh. Okay. Ryland’s got a lot of Wait, wait, wait. No, Arinia has the most. Of course she does. H. That’s actually quite funny. All right, so let’s do that. Um, is there anyone else that we want to Yeah, I guess we can put we could put Ryland on there. We could put We could put everyone in there, actually, technically, if we want to. So, we might as well do that. I’m not going to put myself in there. Uh, we’re just going to go. Yeah, let’s do this. All right. Wish me luck. This is going to be very very hard because um the enemy has a ballista and they have three catapults. I didn’t want to wait any longer. So, it is my own fault if we uh end up absolutely getting slaughtered here because I was impatient. But the thing is it would have taken me another what in-game week probably another in-game week until we had the opportunity to actually uh go in here. it would have been extremely extremely in unlikely for us to do anything really really good here. So, I’m kind of hoping we’re going to be fine. We’ve got an amazing cape. Actually, we’ve got a really really nice cape. I’ve just noticed that. That’s cool. Oh, well. Anyway, uh that notwithstanding, hopefully I’m not going to get absolutely murdered here. Oh, hello. Okay, I need to come up here. I need to get away from these enemies. Yeah, there we go. Okay, don’t get shot. Don’t get shot. Don’t get shot. Don’t get shot. Oh, yeah. Okay, get shot. Yes, I am getting shot across the board here. You know what? Wow. Okay, that’s actually insane. The amount of the amount of archers they have here. I’m going to have to jump down here. You bastard. Ooh. All right. Yeah, we’re going to have to get out of here. Unfortunate for me. Unfortunate for me. I really really wanted to do this. Unfortunately, it’s just way too way too many people. Just way too many people. And we’re not really able to do too much because we are just well prevented from pretty much doing anything here. Uh because we just have one bottleneck. It’s very very difficult to get inside. However, if I uh I could do maybe a continuation. Oh, no. No. Let’s not continue just yet because they’re going to sally out. I have a bad feeling that they’re going to sally out. So, what we’re going to do instead, uh, let me see. I can’t recruit from here. I don’t think so, at least. I mean, we can try recruiting from here, but I highly doubt it. Maybe we’ll be able to. Ah, we can do it a little bit. Oh, okay. Well, that’s actually not too bad. Okay. Yeah. So, the fact is obviously we’ve raided these villages and that’s actually um made very little difference. Actually, surprisingly enough, I actually thought that it would be relatively decent. I haven’t really done that that that strategy ever before, but I thought, oh, you know what? They only have those two villages. It’s probably going to be somewhat decent at the very least. You know, just a a little bit just a little bit of little bit of benefit there. But no, no, no. We’re not getting lucky in that regard. Let’s just recruit our prisoners here. Let’s just upgrade and then we can potentially go back in. Um I think that’s what we’re going to do. I think we’re going to just go straight back on in. It’s going to take us a long time. We ah maybe I should have tried to get the walls down. I could have tried to get the walls down, I guess. But the thing is we have such a small amount of engineering skill. It’s just so incredibly annoying. Um, yeah. I mean, she has engineering, but as you can clearly see, I mean, look at this. Look at how long building the siege camp takes. Ah, I really Oh, wow. Look at this. They literally already They already repaired the walls. How fast are they? These guys are insane. Wow. Okay. I’m actually really, really surprised that they were that fast to repair it. Okay. Well, I guess we’re going to have to give it a little bit of time and we’re going to try to build these trebuchets. try to do the standard siege strategy and maybe, just maybe, we’ll get the other wall section down and we might be able to even eliminate many of the enemies catapults and then Oh yes, and then we’ll be able to go in and actually win. Okay, so we actually had to head into this uh field battle here because Opia decided that he would come along. And uh you you may be thinking, “Oh well uh does that really matter because we’ve only got one vassel, right? Only one enemy vassel isn’t really going to derail things too much.” And you’d be correct. Yes, it isn’t really going to derail too much. However, two vassels that is what makes the difference. So unfortunately we had to end because Amalgen who is another Vandian vassel he decided to turn up as well. So, we are now in a situation where we have to deal with over 200 enemies. Obviously, not in this particular battle, but I decided to end the siege early. Otherwise, we would have had to deal with two of them plus probably the garrison because they more than likely would have rallied the garrison into some kind of sally out something like that. And in uh in that particular case, we would be in a big big spot of bother. So, yeah. Now, this is where I am actually going to try to do some major damage. There we go. Nice, nice, nice. Kill that guy immediately. And maybe I can take out this one as well. Or maybe they’re just going to be very annoying. Ah, yes. I love that. Yes, that’s great. Okay. Hello there, sir. Oh, no. He didn’t try. He didn’t try. Okay, that’s actually kind of interesting. Usually the AI is very very confident in their ability to, you know, beat you in uh in in pole arm combat. I’m actually very surprised I’ve I’ve taken so much damage to be honest. Generally, this I got to say, I feel like I’m not a big fan of this siege map, especially in the nighttime. I don’t know why we always get it in the nighttime, but I will be trying to make it lighter. I did make it lighter in the in the previous episode as well, but um yeah, this this whole this whole siege map, I mean, it’s not really a siege map, but this whole map layout I’m not a big fan of just purely because it is so dark. I can very very hardly basically see anything. So, it’s Ooh, it’s kind of harsh. Not sure if we can maybe do something here. Oh, no, never mind. Okay, we didn’t. I kind of have to Yeah. Also, this look at this. We have to watch out for these uh these small little uh small little bumps in the uh in the battlefield’s ground, which is definitely making things rather uncomfortable. Nice damage there, though. I have 26 archers, so might as well put the archers into a decent position there. Maybe we can maybe uh I don’t know, leverage them somewhat. Maybe we can have them do some damage. I don’t have any cavalry, just bear that in mind. So cavalry are definitely not going to be a thing that I’m going to be really able to counter too easily here. Oh, nice. That was some good damage though. That was some very, very nice damage. Okay, so we got Nord Huskals. They’re throwing their their stuff, which is obviously great. And we also have some archers that are doing some nice work, too. And maybe, just maybe, we will be able to uh snipe a couple of extra Wow, that’s a flag right there. There’s a flag back there. And I was just like, “Oh yeah, there’s a flag. What? What’s that flag doing there even? I don’t know. I I guess we must have killed one of the enemy flag carriers or something like that. I’m not entirely sure. Yeah, it seems like that. Or is that just where they started? If that’s where they started, that’s a bit of a weird weird uh decision to to make really. I guess I guess it’s not that weird considering they are outnumbered quite dramatically. But yeah, you could see exactly what’s happening here. We literally have well seem to have every advantage even though technically we shouldn’t really. There you go. Four deaths. We lost three Huskals. Oh, and he died. Oh my. Okay. Wow. He died. Did you see that? Okay. Opia is dead. He liter He saved me the trouble. He saved me the trouble of having to clean my axe afterwards. Yeah. That’s very nice of him, isn’t it? Yes. That is actually quite funny. All right. So, that’s that’s that’s nice. Okay. Okay. There we go. Now, we don’t have um too much to worry about, I guess. And we’re just going to continue leveling those guys up. Let’s get these. There we are. Not going to take too many prisoners just in case. H some better boots. Not too bad. Uh yeah, nothing else really. Yeah, there’s nothing else. Um yeah, so a gria unfortunately. Oh, it would be it would be my luck, wouldn’t it? It would be my luck. Okay. Yes, I should probably um probably check that in the future. But the problem is we couldn’t check her stats because the encyclopedia doesn’t show you unless you’ve already met them. And uh yeah, obviously that’s Well, it’s going to be impossible for me to check then, isn’t it? Yeah. Okay. So, we are otherwise. Yep. There we go. And there’s the guy. As I said before, there’s the there’s the other vassel. Now, technically, I could go in here. The food stocks are depleting. That’s the funny thing. The food stocks are depleting quite dramatically. If we could H you know what? Let let me actually just see here for a real quick second. He’s going to go inside, isn’t he? Or Oh, wait, wait, wait. He’s disembarking. Oh, this is hilarious. Okay, why is he doing that? Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait. I am very surprised. I never thought he would do that. Okay, that’s that’s very very intriguing. Okay, we’ll get a Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We’ll just get Lancer. This is great. Plus 20% damage bonus. That is really really wonderful. Okay. Um, let’s see how we do. I mean, this is obviously a completely different vassel, but thankfully it’s in the in the daytime now, so I don’t have to make it brighter or anything like that. And hopefully we’re going to be able to actually see our opponents because in those nighttime battles, especially considering the ground is really really dark, it’s very difficult for me personally to be able to see um the the correct distances and stuff like that. It really makes a big difference. Anyway, let’s just see if we can Nope. Nope. No. I I I kind of thought that would not work. That will though. That’s got to hurt. That’s got to hurt. All right, that was nice. That was very, very nice. Hopefully, I’m not going to take any damage this time. I’m actually going to try to prioritize my own HP this time because just in case there is another vassel sometime nearby, you never know when there’s going to be one, right? We’ve been fighting the Vlandians for quite some time and generally it feels to me like quite a few of them are setting sail and setting their course over to us and that is making things ah kind of kind of harsh but um yeah I mean I guess it’s good in a way because if we eliminate Oh really? Wow. That was that was actually a pretty nice hit. I was certainly wasn’t expecting that. Let’s put my archers. For some reason, my archers are running by the side of our infantry. I I was kind of hoping they’d be in the back, but there you go. All right. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Our Nords are getting so many kills right now. Banner Knight. Wow. He’s never going to become the banner lord now, is he? No. No. He’s just going to be a banner knight forever now. Well, sorry for him, isn’t it? Yes. Okay, so let’s just continue to move our forces forward. This is obviously the great thing about the Nord troops. They have so much versatility when it comes to their equipment. It’s just so good cuz they have throne weapons. They have spears. They have uh swords and shields, you know. I mean, well, axes and shields, I guess, most of the time, I suppose. I don’t know. And uh we’ll otherwise Yeah, there we go. We’re just going to do this. Going to move my archers probably somewhere up here. I might even put the archers into a loose formation to be honest. I feel like that’s probably going to be slightly better. And as you can no doubt tell, I’m not actually going into a shield wall here with my infantry at the moment, mainly because I do want them to move a little bit quicker this time around. And here we go. We can now tell them to charge in. We’re going to do that. We have a massive advantage. I feel like we have a really, really big advantage right now. So, I don’t think I need to be super, super cautious or anything. As you see here, doing massive damage. And I wouldn’t be surprised if they actually end up running away very very soon. I mean, look at the look at the enemy’s morale. You can actually see the morale in this version of the game. So, you can see here where my cursor is. There’s the morale. They have 13 17 battle morale. We have 71. And generally, I feel like morale is extremely important. And it obviously used to be very very important as well in previous versions, but in this version, you can actually see it. You can visualize it and you can see exactly what you’re working with. 19 renown right here. 19 renown. That’s pretty good. I I actually got to say I feel like that’s kind of nice. Anyway, let’s see what we can do. Any Nords? Nope. All right. Going to just move on. Move on. And Aha. Okay, we do have some potential braces here. A Griner can use some braces, I guess. And I think Wait a minute. Is this actually better than what I have? No, I’m actually using that. Oh, that’s that’s quite funny. All right. Yeah, I’m just going to take everything that I can here. Not really any point in beating around the bush, I suppose. Okay, so once again, we’re just going to be going in. Why not? Let’s just go in to the town and we’ll besiege it. They’re obviously going to have repaired everything. And I literally had one trebuche built, by the way. I had one trebuche built and I had another one on the way halfway through. And obviously, uh, yes, they prevented us from doing this. But, you know, it that’s that’s the game, you know, that’s the game. It’s the challenge. It’s the challenge of uh making sure that we can get these things up and running as as fast as possible. Let’s try and recruit a couple more people here. We are going to deplete our morale quite dramatically at this point, which is a little bit dicey. Not exactly great for us here. Ah, what do we have? At first, the siege gave your men a welcome restbite from the hardships of the march. But now, inactivity and boredom has started to take a toll. Even dice and gossip have lost their charms. And you’re starting to see quarrels and lapses in discipline. Drill your men for the upcoming assault, even though the everpresent risk of injury might put several out of commission when they’re needed most. Or march about the camp searching for specks of rust on swords or sentries who aren’t fully attentive to their watch. Give any violators hard. Pointless tasks to teach them to keep their standards up. Well, well, um, yes, I think we’re probably going to be doing that. Yes, we’re going to be doing that because increase siege progress by 5%. I mean, no offense, but I do think 5% is a little bit too little, but obviously, what else are you going to get when it comes to, you know, drilling people? And especially if you’re if you’re drilling them hard, I’m not sure if it’s um not sure if it’s really going to pay off that massively, but, you know, 5% is okay. 5% is fine for me. Otherwise, wait a minute. Oh no, I thought that was a vassel. No, that’s not a vassel. That is literally just a convoy of some kind. And uh you know, the one thing we could do technically is if we wanted to be really really stubborn and we didn’t want to actually go into the siege, we could just starve them out. That’s that’s the thing we could do. We could just literally starve them out if we wanted to, which would be the easiest path, but it would be the most timeconsuming. And I’m not entirely sure if we could make that work. That’s the That’s the biggest problem here because I’m thinking to myself right now, what about if we do starve them out? What What happens if we starve them out? Well, if we think about it, the garrison’s going to be completely eliminated. We will not have to fight them in any way. We’ll be able to go in and immediately claim the town instantaneously, right? And then we can capture all of the garrison troops. And then what? Then what do we have? Well, then we have to obviously make sure that the town gets its food. So, we have to sell some of our own food into the marketplace. Make sure that they have some food there to resupply themselves. Then what then what do we have to do? Uh place some people in the uh in the garrison. Uh, make sure that we’re Wow, the trebuche was actually destroyed. Are you serious? Wow. Okay, that’s super bad. Anyway, yeah, basically that we need to make sure that all of that stuff happens. And I think personally, I’m not sure. Is that good enough? I mean, yeah, I guess it is. But the main problem we’re going to have Did we actually capture that guy, by the way? No, we didn’t. He managed to escape, apparently. He How did he manage to escape? I don’t know. Anyway, 11 days. Let’s see what happens. As you inspect your siege camp, you come across disgusting evidence that one or more of your men has contracted the bloody flux. It will pass from man to man as they share food and water. And you know what it can do to a besieging army if left unchecked. Okay, so what are we going to do here? Treat your men. Three of your troops get wounded. Each unit has a 25% chance of dying. 50% chance of five of your troops getting wounded and each unit has 25% chance of dying. Oh my. Uh, treat the sick and make no additional demands of your men. 10% of your troops gets wounded and each unit has a 30% chance of dying. Wow. Okay. 5% of your troops, three of your troops. Okay, so 10% of our troops. So that’s actually kind of significant. That’s 13 people, I guess, right? Um. H. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I guess we’ll do I don’t really want to do that. I I kind of I I guess we’ll do this one. I guess we’ll do this one. 25% chance of dying. That’s basically nothing, right? So, we’re going to do this one. Treat your men, but trust in strict preventative measures like digging latrines outside camp and forcing your men to go f further a field for water. But they are likely to resent. Well, I don’t see any morale decrease, so I guess we’ll just take that. That sounds one died. Really? Oh, come on. Oh, unlucky. Unlucky. 25% chance. That’s not very That’s not very much, right? That’s not very much. Anyway, we do have 6 days, well, 5 days worth of food remaining in the opponent’s garrison here. And generally this is well I’m going to say it right now not exactly the most dynamic or most fun way of doing a siege. That’s generally the reason why I’ve I’ve consistently uh been very much wanting alternative methods to sieging and uh generally obviously we just have well basically this unfortunately at the moment but I’m hopeful that later on down the line we might have you know different ways of doing it that uh well I mean we do have mods obviously we do have mods that are are actually going to enable us to do that but yeah we don’t really have to worry about that right now anyway 4 days hopefully it’s going to happen soon without any vassels interfering. All right, so we have a bit of a situation here. Yeah, we’ve got these guys. Oh, dear me. Okay. Yeah, we’re not going to be able to defend against this. Not in any way. But as you can see, look at this. We have zero days. Unfortunately, the garrison did not take any starvation damage whatsoever. And I’m actually very surprised about this. Usually that’s what happens if there is a small amount of supply still happening. And um yeah, they they kind of put paid to that, didn’t they? So, what we’re going to do is we’re just going to wait around. That’s all we’re going to do. We’re just going to wait around and we’re just going to see if we can get these guys to uh either have a loss of cohesion, which is very, very probable, or well uh I don’t know. I’m not entirely sure what we can do here. You could see, look at the food stock. It’s It’s zero right now. We could potentially just Oh, it’s it’s so incredibly frustrating when this kind of thing happens. Ah, they’re going to Cranarok siege. Okay, that is absolutely fantastic. Where is Cranarok Castle, by the way? Where is that? Isn’t that super far away from these guys? It feels really, really far. Yeah, look. Cranarok Castle is all the way over there. Oh, that’s not going to work, guys. I feel like that’s going to be very very difficult for them to reach there in time. Uh I am going to just keep an eye on the food stock here though and I’m going to keep an eye on Cranarok Castle as well because as soon as that becomes under siege, you know what we’re going to do. Yes, we’re going to start our siege again. I am obviously not going to go in there just yet. Uh they’re starting to get their food supplies back, which is really, really bad. Uh but maybe they’re just going to get like a day or so. I assume they’re just going to get a day or maybe two of food supplies. I cannot go in there yet because otherwise that army is going to come back immediately. So, uh yeah, blockades, by the way. Blockades, they are a thing, but you’re going to need more ships as far as I am aware. As far as I can tell, that’s what you’re going to need. I think someone said in the comments that you need at least five ships to be able to do that, which obviously at the moment I am not capable of. I do not have enough people to be able to do that unless we uh ran around with a much smaller vessel or at the very least we would need um I don’t know probably like a medium mediumsiz vessel or something like that. Uh but we are going to keep an eye on Krenor Castle cuz obviously uh if that that comes under siege then it’s a it’s a go you know we can literally just go immediately in here. You can see that their food stocks are now starting to resupply. I’m kind of not wanting to I’m kind of not wanting to wait any longer than 3 days or so. Yeah, it’s very annoying, isn’t it? Yeah, it’s very annoying when this kind of thing happens. But you you just can’t help it. You know, sometimes you just cannot help that. We are going to go in now. Okay. 7 days. No way, right? How do they have so much? Okay, wait. Let’s have a look here. What do we have? What’s this? Break one breach one siege wall. That’s actually insane. A 60% chance of breaking one siege wall. Increase siege progress by 20%. Uh 60% chance of that. Or 40% chance of increasing reputation and decreasing siege progress. I don’t really care about that. Okay. Uh we’re going to do this one. Boom. We destroyed the wall. Look at that. We actually destroyed the wall from a uh from from a random event. That is absolutely fantastic. Unfortunately, they have How did they gain even more food? It’s because there’s convoys coming in there. Yeah, it’s cuz there’s convoys coming in there. Okay. Well, this is a problem, isn’t it? Yes. Well, h I I did all the work and I waited all that time and now and now look what’s happened. Yes, it’s it’s very unfortunate, isn’t it? I mean, the one thing I could do, I suppose, is we could try to destroy the walls, but generally I don’t like doing that because that leaves us completely and utterly defenseless. And here we go. Here we have an we have Peric. Is he really Oh, wow. There’s loads of them. Look at this. This is actually crazy. Look at that. He could have technically gone in and immediately attacked me, but he decided not to do that. Oh, look at them. They’re running. You You will not escape. You will not escape me. I will actually attack these guys. There we go. Let’s get them. Nice. Nice. Nice. Did we get both of them? No, we only got one of them. Why did we only get one? I don’t know. I’m going to ultra resolve against this guy. There we go. And I’m going to Yes. Off with your head. This is This is that guy. This is that guy that saw us before. So, I’m going to immediately just execute him straight up. There is no no reason for me to say no to that. Going to take all the Sturgeonian prisoners. Going to take all these guys, too. And we’re going to try to level them up as much as possible now that we’re on the ocean waves. I would love to be able to do sieges from the ocean. I think maybe what we would want to do in that case is maybe just get some really, really small ships just so that it enables us to do the blockade. That might be the only course of action we can really do here that would enable us to take advantage of our naval superiority. So, I’m thinking we might actually decide to do that. Oh, nice armor. Lordly fortified mercenary armor. Very, very nice. Okay. Uh, that looks that looks very good. And, um, yeah, actually, let’s just have a quick look see here. Oh, yeah. Very nice. Gria can obviously wear that if we want to. And we will just start upgrading everyone. Just all these handme-downs going to everyone else now. And that’s fine. That’s fine. Okay, there we go. All right, everyone is perfectly fine here. And now we can just take all of that. Okay, let’s go in against this guy as well. He’s not going to escape. We’re just disorganized right now. He is not going to escape. None of these guys are going to escape. Well, maybe that guy. That guy over there is definitely going to The execution has hurt your relation. Yes, I know. It’s fine. We don’t have anything to worry about here. I will just literally go in here and murder this fellow as soon as possible. And then what we’re going to do is go go after the other one that was in he was in hot pursuit of us uh up until a little a little minute ago. And we are going to literally murder him straight up. Boom. He’s gone. Okay, now let’s have a look. Any Nords? Nope. No Nords. Okay. Uh, I have actually, um, transferred everyone over to us, which is actually very, very nice. We’ve, uh, gotten all of the prisoners that we had before converted to our side, which is really, really good. And, uh, yeah, as you can see, we now have a bunch of ships that we can take. I am going to take them. I am going to take them because I am actually going to be making my way over to the town now. I could potentially fight this guy, but I think I’m literally just going to go to Carban Seth. Uh, someone said that they wanted to see Carban Seth’s ships or the Betanian ships. As far as I’m aware, they don’t really have any ships that I could see in uh in the port there, but we can take a look and see whether that’s changed. All right, so here we go. Uh, I’m going to just sell this. I’m going to sell all of these things right here. Just going to sell that, sell that, and sell that. There we go. We’re getting 12,000 for it. Let’s repair everything. Let’s go over to the ships. As you can see, we just sold these. We have a cog here which uh requires a skeleton crew of 18. This which is um eight. We may in fact want to get western galleys. We had a western galley right there. Two western galleys actually. So I could potentially buy these back for 3,500. The question is do we want to do that for the blockade? I feel like yes, I actually do. You know what? I’m going to do that. Okay, we are going to do this just purely because and we’ve got five ships now. So, we’re just going to test it out. Okay, we’re just going to test it out and we’re going to see how it goes. Um, so let’s just do this. I’m not going to upgrade them or anything like that. There’s no no real point in that in my opinion. We’re going to sell all of the armor. Look at that. 22,000 we’re getting for that. 35,000 total. Maybe even more. Yep. 43,000 total. Absolutely amazing. And indeed, we probably want to get some additional food here, don’t we? Yes, we probably do. We probably do. Uh the question is we’ve got a lot of fish already. Let’s just get the butter, cheese, olives, meat, beer. That sounds pretty good to me. And we will set sail almost immediately. That’s it. That is all we will do. And then we will make our way back. Um it is going to be a little bit Are we going to be a little bit slower? Yeah, we are over fleet size as you can see right there. But that I think is fine. How come I only have 136? I should technically have 16. Yeah, look, as you can see right here, we have 164 land troop capacity. Uh, a little bit strange. Ship troop capacity is is 256. Um, but yeah, we’re absolutely fine with the ship skeletal crew. So, yeah, hopefully this is going to work and we will be able to blockade the town. All right, so I’m back here and uh yeah, blockading does not work. So, I’m assuming that blockading is locked behind a certain action. So, for example, I’m thinking we probably need to be an army. I’m thinking we probably need an army to be able to do that. I’m thinking maybe we need to be uh I don’t know having a larger larger force in general. I’m not entirely sure. But what we are going to do is we are going to make Mr. Iron Belly into a party because we already have a Grinia as our uh as our engineer. She has 95 in engineering. We have Mr. Cow thief as our steward. We have Ifka as our medicine person who has 163 in medicine already. That’s pretty crazy. And Catila is our scout. So, we don’t need him to do any party skills whatsoever. So, if he becomes a party right now, creating a party is going to cost me. Oh, it’s actually going to cost me money now. Is that true? Did Did that cost me money before? I don’t think so. Right. Anyway, we’re just going to give all these uh all these sturgeons to him. I don’t really need these. We’ll give the Nord Nord younglings as well. We’re going to be getting a whole bunch more of those. We’ve only got 17. Bear in mind, I cannot call him into my army because we are not a part of a faction. I’m not a vassel and or I am not the leader of my own uh of my own faction. Uh that’s the only way you can call for armies, unfortunately. Um yeah, I mean, as you can see here, you need to be a part of a kingdom to create an army. So, can’t do that. Uh what we’re going to do though is Yeah, we have 136 actually. Oh dear. Okay, I should have given him some more troops. Oh well, that’s fine. That’s fine. I don’t think I can catch up to him now. Oh, Vlandians. Why do I have Vandians? Wait a minute. I don’t want Vlandians. Get out of here. There we go. That was actually kind of perfect. There was three of them. Okay, so once again, I am going to just head in here. I’m hopeful that what what he’s going to do now is that he’s going to run around, hopefully not get killed. That is going to be a pretty big ask in my opinion cuz the AI of parties is very weird sometimes. But hopefully he is just going to do his his best to sort of power himself up and hopefully in that time he may in fact become crazy good and then we’ll be able to have his assistance when we, you know, try to take the town again. And I think what we’re gonna do this time is I am literally just going to take the walls down. There’s only 14,000 remaining on in the HP of the walls. So, I don’t really see a point for us to sort of beat around the bush any further. It’s kind of unfortunate really because I would have loved to have just starved them out and just taken it really really easily because as I said, it’s basically a free a free town at that point. But unfortunately, because of the the new systems that War Sales has actually implemented, you can see here that the the convoys are going in and out and so on. if they have food. If they have food, that is that is really really harsh for starvation mechanics. So, it looks to me like there there’s a lot of additional additional challenge, I guess you could kind of call it to uh besieging something now. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Look, look. There’s there’s a blockade right there. Is that our blockade? That’s our blockade right there, isn’t it? Oh, no. I just saw something. Yep. We’re going to have to We’re going to have to run away again. Ah, okay. Uh, the question is, how am I going to do this? Oh, I have just seen something. I have just seen something that we need to take part in. Unfortunately, Ryland did get himself eliminated. As you can see right there, he literally got himself captured by none other than some forest bandits. Can you believe it? Forest bandits. Yes. I couldn’t believe it myself either. Anyway, we are actually going to be doing a bit of a thing here. I’d like to attack Mr. Derart himself. That is the king of Vandia. Unfortunately, it does appear as though he is way too f Why is he so fast? I have no idea how he is so fast, but we are going to be instead attacking someone else then, I suppose. Uh, but yeah, as you can tell, the Vandians are basically all over us at this point. They are all over us and we are going to have to we’re going to have to do something else. We’re going to have to do something else there. There isn’t much I can do here. Uh because we’re just consistently getting these guys all over us. Very very difficult for us to do anything in regards to the siege. I can’t even I can’t even build my siege camp. Funnily enough, I can’t even build the siege camp. So yeah. Anyway, we are going to have to take one ship into the battle cuz as you can see, we only have three spaces for Oh, actually, oh no, never mind. We didn’t even need to do that. Okay, that’s fine then. Um, yeah, I actually thought it was I thought it was a little bit different, actually, but um All right. Yeah, that’s fine. No issues there. No issues there. Okay. So, unfortunately, the wind is in our faces. So, I won’t really be able to do too much here. I could try if I Okay, I’m going to try it. Let’s see if it works. All right. So, I tried. Unfortunately, it did not work. I was trying to get a little bit to the side of these guys. And uh generally, what you’re going to need to do in that case is you’re going to need to Yeah, there we go. Okay. Ineffective ram. Un I I I feel like that wasn’t that ineffective. I’m actually doing I’m actually doing pretty good damage there. Not too bad if I do say so myself. Let’s try to let’s try to board these guys. I mean, this is going to be pretty easy for us because we literally have one we’ve separated them so dramatically right here because I I was planning on ramming them really really hard. And generally, it does seem to have paid off quite quite nicely. Funnily enough, have you noticed my damage is insane in naval battles? But when it comes to when it comes to land battles, we don’t do that much. So, it just goes to show that yeah, we are definitely a sea dog, aren’t we? Yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely incredible. Really, really fun actually to be able to have such a large amount of proficiency when it comes to a certain type of gameplay. Cuz that means that, you know what that means? That means that you’re going to be prioritizing getting into battles like this and dealing with your opponents in this way in comparison to dealing with them in a uh should we say regular field battle cuz a regular field battle that’s that’s you know that’s fine. You know that’s okay. You know we’re going to be all right there but we’re not going to be as good as if we were to do this. Now they are cutting the netting away right now. Uh let’s see. Are they Are they done? There we go. They they’re done now. Okay, that took that took a quite a bit of time right there. Okay, so let’s get away from them. We’ll try to turn into these guys and we’ll see if we can wa Yeah, my archers are doing fantastically, by the way. I don’t know whether you’ve noticed that, but my archers are actually getting quite a few kills literally just randomly. Oh, look at that. Ifka Ifka actually got a kill and she actually killed the enemy lord. No less. That is very, very impressive. Okay, let’s do this. Oh, I mean, really, come on now. Look at this. This is This is just absolutely incredible. Super, super fun to literally just go onto someone else’s ship and have so much inc look at the damage. I just have so much of a a massive increase of of damage and skills and things like that that you literally will just have this kind of situation happen where you just go in and you immediately get kills. You just immediately get kills with very very little effort expended. Super super nice to actually see that for once. I love perks making a big difference to your overall uh overall efficiency, overall effectiveness. It’s just so good. Anyway, let’s see what we can do here. We got armed convoy. Armed convoy. Not really a big fan of that. I’d liked I Why is Dart running away now? It’s because Turby was under siege. By who? By the sturgeons with 721. This is a great distraction. This is a great distraction. Maybe I can make it. Do you think I can make it back? I highly doubt it. Did I not get the opportunity to take that guy prisoner? I didn’t have I I couldn’t take him prisoner for some reason. I don’t know why. Okay, that’s a little bit strange. I’m not sure why that’s not why that wasn’t possible. I’m going to just auto resolve against this guy. Uh, take all of that stuff. Thank you. Do I have the opportunity to take him prisoner at least? I’m not going to take his ships. No, I don’t have the opportunity to take him prisoner either. Okay. Kind of weird. Not sure why we’re not getting uh the ability to do that. Maybe on the I mean I mean naval combat that doesn’t that doesn’t prevent us from taking the prisoner, right? I don’t think so. We’ve we’ve taken the prisoner before. Hm. Well, a little bit strange. Anyway, we are now going to be getting prestige. Like I said before, prestige is just amazing in my opinion for this particular character especially. We’ve got an axe. It destroys shields very, very quickly. Anyway, and it also now has plus 50% damage as well as giving us party limit increase. Apart from that, I’m thinking uh what am I thinking right now? Well, not much really. Uh, you know, there’s one thought in there and the one thought is I must besiege this town. Yes. Okay. Um, I think what we’ll do is we will probably go into Polarm. Polarm maybe. Oh, we have an attribute point. Oh. Oh, interesting. Interesting. Uh H I want to get vigor, I guess. Don’t I? I’ve already gotten vigor from this. I’m not going to get smithing, unfortunately. So, I think we will just have to go for the the one point invigor there. A little bit unfortunate that we’d have to do that, but smithing generally I I’m not a terribly big fan of smithing unless you can somehow remove the stamina uh the stamina cost or something like that or at the very least reduce the stamina cost cuz it is very grindy. Anyway, let’s see if we can No, we can’t do anything here. That’s fine. That’s absolutely okay. All right, let’s see what happens. Okay, so they have so much food in here. It’s insane. I mean, I actually Wait, wait, wait. No, they only have 19 days. Okay, that’s not even that bad. But now we know for for sure that that Sturia is doing a siege at Turby Castle. That potentially means that Vandia is going to be busy for a little bit of time. Not a huge amount, probably about a day or so, because let’s face it, they’re more than likely either going to dillydally in and around that area. And they’re kind of going to humar about it, and they’re not going to be sure whether they’re going to go in against the Sturgeians or they’re just going to go immediately in, and they’re just going to try to murder them. And that’s obviously fine with us because if they do go in and try to murder them, that means that they are going to be weakened when they come back over. Oh, okay. Never mind. I was I was kind of hoping that they would be weakened, but um Oh, okay. You know what? I thought we had this in the bag now, actually, to be honest. Okay, no, we’re not. We’re not getting anything in the bag by the looks of things. I am going to try and murder this guy if I can. Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. What’s this? New figure head. Sea serpent unlocked. Okay. Uh, I don’t know what that means. I’m going to assume that we have achieved something. So, in other words, I have defeated a number of uh maybe a number of vassels or something along those lines. That could be potentially the case. Anyway, as you can see, I have literally just run away from this town. I personally don’t believe we’re going to be able to take this anytime soon as long as we are consistently being attacked by that one army. And the only thing that we can really do now in my opinion is just recruit more people. Uh because I do have a maximum party size, as you can see right here, of 197 now. And our ship troop capacity is even larger than that because obviously I’m running around with a bunch of uh random ships in my well in my fleet at the moment which is is fine because I’m going to be selling most of them anyway. So that’s that’s okay. Anyway, we’re going to be making our way back over to Kan Seth and uh I am going to try to recruit some more people and hopefully that will be enough to get us the victory. You can see here look look the sturgeons. Look at that. 1100. That is a And that is an incredible distraction. Oh, I really need to run. I really really need to run here. I found this really really funny actually just now. Engala. Okay, we’re here at enga. He said, I do not know your name. Welcome. And I I I just thought to myself, wait a minute. Wait a minute. You don’t know who has been executing all of your friends? Okay. Well, that’s that’s kind of a bit of a lapse on his part, I suppose. But yeah, anyway, doesn’t really matter, I suppose, too much. Anyway, what we’re going to do is I’m actually going to think about using a trade cog as a uh well, not not really a distraction, but kind of like a I don’t know, like a little um well, maybe a distraction. Yeah, probably a little bit of a distraction here. So, what we’re going to do is I’m actually going to tell going to tell them to I guess I don’t know. I guess engage. Yeah. Yeah, I guess engage or something like that. This is not going to work out too well if we don’t um if we don’t help them. Oh, yeah. By the way, the uh the thing that we got the uh the little um what what is it called? The the uh what was it? The silver something or other. I can’t actually remember what it was called now, but basically the figure head, right? The figure head thing that we unlocked that gives us plus 40% 40% increased fire resistance. Um, so that’s pretty good. You know, it’s not too bad considering I mean, we obviously are not really fighting against anyone that has any kind of fiery weapons right now. However, that is a nice amount of resistance. So, if we do come across anyone, then uh, you know, it’s going to be pretty nice. So yeah, there you go. Uh, so these figureheads obviously can be unlocked through some kind of gameplay uh gameplay action. So it’s probably associated with winning a certain amount of sea battles. This particular one I’m talking about obviously this particular figure head of course. Everything else it’s going to require something different. So let’s see what we can do here. Maybe we’re going to be able to completely and utterly ram them. Boom. There we go. Ineffective. Really? That was ineffective. I thought that was actually pretty good. Or I feel like I I feel like that was going to be pretty good, but apparently not. We will attempt boarding. A Grinier is getting kills. As you can see, she’s getting head shot. Very, very nice. Wow. My archers are absolutely destroying them. They’re very, very nice, actually. And uh I think, you know what? Should I just Huh? I feel like I feel like what I should do is I should jump in the water and swim over there and kill them myself. But the problem is I’m going to die if I do that, aren’t I? Ooh, I did it. Okay. Okay. Wait, wait a minute. That actually worked. I’m kind of surprised. Okay. Hello there. Hello there, sir. You will not shoot me with your crossbow. There we go. Not yet, at least. Maybe. Maybe in another life. Thank you. Okay. Let’s try and kill this guy. Kill that guy. or uh many many of these fellows. Oh, a Vandian Knight. Wow, they’ve got some they’ve got some decent decent troops right here. Okay, I think I think these are all allies potentially. All right, so yeah, as you can see, the enemy is literally not knowing what to do. They’re kind of just staying back there, which is really really good for us. And indeed, we are going to just go like so. H I actually wonder, can I I can tell them to do things. Yes, I can tell them to do things. Let’s actually can I do No, I can’t really do much with my own ship. I can’t tell them to do anything unless I’m dead. Yes, I I am talking about auto delegate here. Okay, well that’s absolutely fine. Let’s just do a little bit of something here. I will get back onto my ship and we will try to take command and cut the netting away and then we will try to go after the opponent. Unfortunately, it is going to take a bit of time. I’m Let’s go zoom zoom. There we go. Did it Did it actually do anything? Yeah, there we go. Okay, nice. Okay, so we’ll just leave a there to do her thing. She’s obviously going to Wow, she’s doing a fantastic job. Um, I actually feel pretty pretty I feel like she’s pretty impressive to be honest. I feel like maybe what we should do is we should get another very good ship, you know? So, get a medium level ship or something like that. Something that can actually be worthy of being our secondary ship rather than just a trade cog cuz that’s exactly what we got right here. It’s not really looking uh super amazing or anything like that. Oh yeah, I should probably put my my sail down. Why do I have my sails up? That’s absolutely useless right now. Ooh. Ooh. We could come in from the side here. Oh. Oh, yes. Yes. Wait a minute. Are you thinking what I’m thinking? No, no, no. Come on. Turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, turn. Oh, we are so slow right now. There is no way. There is no way that this is actually going to result in any kind of massive damage. Even though I am coming in from the side, this is the one time where we might actually do some damage, but the wind is obviously against us as well. Okay, that didn’t do anything because the ram actually went Oh. Oh, it was it was ineffective unfortunately, but we did almost p Look, we’re pushing them over. We’re actually pushing them over. That is crazy. Wow. Okay. Uh I mean it would have been really really cool if we could have pushed them all the way over, but you know, we did a relatively decent job there. Unfortunately, as you saw, the ram literally went underneath. It went underneath because of the way that the waves were rocking at the time. Look at that. Okay. Well, uh there you go. Now we know that that can happen. So, even if we are going for a ram, that should seem like a no-brainer hit, it is sometimes not going to work that way. And I think we should be absolutely fine here. We’ve just got to Oh, that’s that’s mine. Oh, why are we red, by the way? Why are we we red? I need to change my uh my banner colors or something like that because us being red is literally making it very very difficult for me to know who’s who, which is actually quite funny considering. But uh yeah, there you go. Okay, we are indeed victorious. Where where do we see Ah, there they are. They’re actually really far away. What? Okay, let’s just jump. Can I not jump from here? No, I cannot. Okay. All right. Yeah, we’re going to have to separate ourselves once again. Or I should just go and swim over there. What do you think? What should I do? I don’t know. I kind of feel like, you know what? I’m going to do it. I’m going to do it. Even if I die doing this, that’s just what’s going to happen. Okay, that’s just what’s going to happen. We’ll see what we can do. Maybe I’m going to be Yes, I am actually lucky enough to get on here. Very nice. Okay. Hey. Hello there, sir. You are dead sat. Yes. Oh, yeah. There we go. This is what I’m talking about. This is a This is a wonderful boarding action. Love it. And maybe I can just bait them into attacking me. Unfortunately, they’ve got some really, really good thrusting abilities as you can see right there. Let’s try not to get hit in the face. Nice. We I just wanted to get 250 Mariner skill. That’s literally the reason why I came over here, by the way, because I wanted I had 249. I had 249. And there you go. So, there it is. Okay, so we did end up losing a couple of Nord Huntsman, but look at this. 20 renown we got for that. Extremely nice. And we also did get 10,000. Ingalura is one of the stronger vassels in Vandia as well. So, this is absolutely perfect for us to execute him. There we go. Get him out of the way. Thank you very much. Okay, let’s get some sea raiders. Uh, does he have anything else? No, he doesn’t have anything else that I particularly badly want. Ooh, look at this. So many so many troops leveling up because we just we we obviously went and recruited some people. So yeah, there we go. That is really really nice. Loads of leadership as well. 125 almost. Unfortunately, I don’t have enough space. I don’t have enough space for all of this stuff. The question is, do we want to slow ourselves down by taking additional cargo? Do we want to do that? I don’t know. One thing I do know is I have 80 days worth of food. I think I can probably make do with about 47. Yes, I think that sounds pretty nice. And we will otherwise just do this and take all the armor cuz that’s going to sell for a large amount of cash. And I’m actually going to be uh not taking any of these. Like I said before, I’m kind of wanting to maintain as much mobility as possible at the moment cuz I am very close to the town. It is still rebelling hilariously enough. I mean the funny thing is it rebelling doesn’t really do much if um if it doesn’t like you know lose them uh something like you know lose them food supplies or anything like that. As you can see their food stock is absolutely insane right now. And even if I were to come in here 28 days. Yeah. 28 days. And they’ve literally done all of this. Oh, how annoying. Oh dear. Oh well, we can’t really do much about it. I’m just going to wait here. Let’s just hope that the sturgeons are actually Oh, as you can see, they’re actually capturing some people. Uh but yeah, let’s hope the sturgeons are doing something um you know, big enough to distract the uh the Vlandians from coming over here because I really wish we could do this. Oh, are we losing people? Why? Ah, yes, we’re losing people. Okay. Yeah, that’s that’s unfortunate, isn’t it? That’s really really unfortunate. Okay, let’s go for tier threes. Lose them a little bit. We’re going to have to lose these guys as well. Oh no. I really don’t want to lose anyone, but unfortunately because of the difference between the land size and the and the naval size. This is just how it’s going to have to be, unfortunately. Really, really sad actually to see that. And um obviously our party is nowhere to be seen because he’s literally in a uh in a town somewhere. I did try to call him back, but when I tried to call him back, it said, “You cannot do this because you’re on the ocean waves.” And uh well, I forgot just now to do it, so it doesn’t really matter, I suppose. Anyway, we’re going to be getting warriors might, I think. Should I get warriors might? That’s 20% melee damage increased by our character, but it and it also increases plus 20% throwing damage dealt by crew. I think that kind of makes sense. Um, obviously Sky Fury is obviously amazing. Really, really good if you are going to be taking a large number of archers. And I personally think that this is actually really quite it might even be better to be honest. Might even be better than Warriors might. But I’m going to take warriors might specifically just because it does benefit us much more with our current army composition and our current character as well. As you can see, we do have a fellow coming over here. The question is, do we want to maintain our presence in the siege? Do we want to assume? Yeah, as I said, do we want to assume that he’s going to come in here with the garrison? And indeed, he is. Let’s do it. And of course, it’s at night. Of course, it’s at night. So, we’re going to be fighting on that very Oh, no, no, no. It’s actually a different one. Okay, fantastic. Okay, I was I was about to complain. I was about to complain very hard, but no, we’re actually fine. We’re actually fine. So, let’s just do this. Gria can go and take care of the uh take care of the archers. Or should she take care of the infantry? Wait a minute. I should take care of the infantry. What is this guy here for? Okay, there we go. That’s a little bit better. Okay. I I’m not entirely sure why Mr. Cow thief was one of the people on the infantry leading the infantry cuz I’m the one that has all the captain stuff, the uh very very good foot troops um you know armor increases and you know some health increases and stuff like that. Very very strange that he was a captain. I must have made him a captain a long time ago and I just thought it was always me. I must have thought that was me in the in the captain’s chair as it were. Okay, so we’ll just move our forces up here. Just going to go zoom zoom. Uh I’m going to try and I’m going to try and assassinate this guy. You you will not be you will not be alive for very much longer, sir. Even though this is in in fact snow and snow is terrible for riding around. So maybe I would have preferred getting the other one. Yes, maybe I would have preferred getting the other battlefield. Look at how ridiculous this is. We are just moving so incredibly slowly. So much so that I can barely do anything against this particular individual. Uh yeah. Well, there you go. Okay, not too bad. And yes, our forces are coming closer and closer together. Okay, we’ve got 300 against us. I think we could potentially do this. We do have the potential. Okay. And uh I think it really just matters on strategy now. I think strategy is going to be the biggest thing here. Forward. Um they have so many cavalry. Oh, we need them to actually charge. We need the cavalry to actually charge us if we are going to have any kind of chance whatsoever. Um, yeah, this is not going to work. Yeah. Yeah. Are they serious right now with actually doing this? Okay, there we go. Um, let me see what’s happening here. Okay, we’re going to tell these guys to charge in. Going to tell the infantry to charge in right now. Hopefully I can kill this guy. Blandian champion. Blandian champion. Okay, let’s try and murder some of these. Uh, I kind of need to do damage. I kind of need to do damage. If I don’t, we are going to lose. Uh, I feel very much under pressure now. Oh dear. Infantry forward. Don’t attack. A. All right, we’re going to have to move our archers. Uh, for some reason, we are actually doing okay. I’m getting ah, this is bad. We are getting uh slightly killed here really, really badly. I do not need I I need to live. That’s the funny thing. I need to live. If I do not live, I think we will face a pretty devastating defeat. And I need to kill this guy. Uh oh. Oh, your your your frustrating opponent, Vlandian Vanguard. You will be um you will be murdered very very soon once you just lower your guard for a second. Or you get shot in the face by one of these guys. I kind of hope that they will shoot them. Uh we seemingly are doing quite nicely. Is that one of mine? I don’t know whether that’s one of mine or not. Oh well, it doesn’t really matter. All that matters is murdering the archers as much as we possibly can. I wish I had the ability to do more damage. Nice. Okay, come on now. Come on now. Let’s just continue to do damage. All I need to do is just continue to deal damage and not die. I know it sounds It sounds like a very easy thing to do. It sounds very easy, but uh yes, it’s a bit more difficult when you’re me. So, let’s just see if we can Yeah, I I need to be careful here. Need to be careful. How are we doing? How are we doing? Okay. Yeah, they’re starting to get reinforcements. That’s absolutely fine, though. We don’t have to worry about that at all. We just need to relax and try and stay alive. That’s it. That’s all we need to do. So, yeah, everyone’s fine here. Okay, let’s consolidate. How are we doing? We’ve lost quite a few 32 people. I mean, 32 is not that much, right? But in comparison, we’ve got 120 people remaining now because I only have 152 people total. So this is we’ve killed 218. Oh, we’ve killed 218. We might actually achieve victory here. Fellow fellows, friends, fellows, whatever. Okay, I’m I’m getting a little bit uh getting a little bit worried here cuz as you can see, I could potentially die from this. This would be bad. Okay. Uh let’s try and move our forces. I am actually going to I don’t want to put them into a shield wall. It’s going to take way too long. You know what? You know what we’re going to do? I’m actually just going to wait here. I’m just going to wait here and we are just going to let them waste their arrows. That’s literally what we’re going to let them do right now. My forces are out of arrows already as far as I can tell. So, it’s not really going to be any kind of detriment to us. So, all we’re going to do is we’re going to put these guys into a line and Oh, they do have a Oh, some some of them have some arrows. Okay. Well, we don’t need to worry about that. Okay. Yeah. So, let’s just move these guys over here. these guys over here. Basically, they’re both infantry now. Um because obviously the archers don’t have any arrows left. So, okay, here we go. Come on now. Let’s do this. I’m going to probably die here. Maybe. I don’t want to die, though. I really don’t want to die here. Okay, we’re going to have to Should I just tell them to charge? You know what? Let’s go for it. Let’s just be hyperaggressive, okay? Let’s just be hyperaggressive. Let’s just do it. I I cannot I don’t want to be one of those, you know? I don’t want to be one of those people that literally just misses the opportunity to achieve victory just purely because I was too hesitant, you know, and I don’t want that to be the case. So, we are just going to literally go for it. And in general, I am actually distracting the cavalry quite nicely right here. I mean, for some reason, they want to murder me. I mean, I guess that kind of makes sense, but um yeah, this is obviously a lot easier for us. Oh, okay. Yep. That was bad. Bad timing on my part. Oh, no. Oh, am I alive? Yes, just about. Okay, my forces should have the advantage versus those those opponents because they are primarily archers and various other things that aren’t really going to be super super damaging. At least that’s the idea. I don’t know. Oh no, I I’m not sure if that’s actually the case. Oh dear. Okay, nice. At least we killed that. What? They decided to run away. Oh, okay. Well, uh I don’t know. We still had 52 people. We still had 52 people remaining. I guess they thought they couldn’t handle it. Okay, that’s actually pretty crazy. We can literally just go straight in now because we have eliminated the garrison. Look at this. 130 renown. 130 renown. And I am going to be saying off with your head. Yes. Off with your head, sir. There we go. And I’m going to be taking all the prisoners. I’m going to be taking every single prisoner because we can actually sell them and immediately put them into the garrison here if we want to into the dungeon, whatever we want. And boom. There we go. All right. Yeah. So, we also have a one-handed sword here if we want to use that. For me personally, I don’t think I’m going to do that. There’s legendary male mittens. Um, I’m not entirely sure who to give that to to be honest. I guess to Mr. Cow thief. He can also use a new helmet. That’s kind of nice. We also have legendary male mittens for Catila. And I don’t think we have anything else here that we really want to go for. So, we’re just going to take everything. There we go. Let’s show mercy. And it is ours. Look at this. We actually took it. Wow. Okay. Here we go. Here we go. Okay. So, first of all, what we want to do is we want to put No, not that. H. Not that. Why am I Why am I such an idiot sometimes? Okay. Let’s actually just do this properly. Okay. So, what we’re going to do is we are going to be putting every single tier four and below in the prisoner’s hold unless they are Nords. Yeah, unless they are N. So, this is what we’re going to do. Okay, so let’s have a look here. So, we need all of these all of these into the dungeon. There we go. And then uh do we have any Nords? Yeah, we do have a couple of Nords in there as well. So, I’m going to do that in just a second. But we are otherwise just going to go here. Going to do this, apart from the Nord. Going to sell that for 3,750. Pretty nice. Not too bad. We have Khalisa here. Is she actually any good? She’s not too bad in terms of scouting and rogue skill. Uh, but I don’t see the point really in recruiting any anyone really. Uh, I guess. Not sure. Maybe it is a good idea at some point. Okay, so we can inspect the shipyard. Okay, what does that actually do? You can only view ships at the port while your fleet is away. You can inspect the shipyard, which allows us to go into the shipyard and actually take a look at the ships inside. I’m assuming that to be the case. Yes. So, you can look and look and actually see what’s happening here. You can’t obviously go into your own fleet or anything like that. So, that’s absolutely fine. We can call our fleet as you can see. And there you go. We called our fleet. And now we can repair it and do all that wonderful stuff. And we can even, you know, set sail and do all that wonderful wonderful all those wonderful things. And we’re also getting good loyalty bonuses as well because we are indeed Nord culture which is fantastic. So what we’re going to do is we’re going to put a huge amount of money in here, massive amounts of money in here and we are indeed going to do this. There’s construction zero right now because obviously the uh the people are potentially going to rebel very very soon. I’m going to be putting loyalty on festivals and games just so that we get plus seven immediately boosting ourselves up dramatically. And I would like to get a governor as well if at all possible. So what I’m going to do is we’re going to just exit from here real fast. And we are going to go and call Mr. Ryland because it’s going to take him one day to get here. That’s not too bad. And I would like to wait here for a little bit of time. I have a bad feeling that they are going to be coming for this thief. They’re going to come here. You lie down for a well-deserved nap, but you slip into an uneasy dream. You’re sailing on a wind tossed sea. A wave crashes on your bow, sending spray across the decks. You look closely and see that it is not water, but blood sloshing around across your feet. You stare out into the sea, and the breakers take on the forms of men you have slain in battle. Have I killed without good reason? Heaven wishes me to repent. I shall choose the peaceful path when there is one that is. No, no, of course not. I will say to where do we sail on the sea of blood? To glory. That is where that is what I will say. There we go. And we are indeed gaining the daring trait. Look at that. We gain the daring trait. Very nice indeed. And I don’t know what that really does, but yeah, we’re going to obviously have a good time with that. And we are indeed going to be taking leader of the masses here. Even though I actually think that presents, actually, you know what? I’m going to take presents. I know. I know. I probably shouldn’t take presence to be honest because uh leader of the mass is going to be so much better over time. But presence in this case is going to be exceptionally good for us because plus five security per day while waiting in a town. We are waiting in a town and we’re going to be waiting here for quite some time. So I think that probably makes the most sense. We’re also going to be taking guards right here. Plus 50% damage we hit when you hit an enemy in the head with a pole arm. Just way too good to say no. And we’re also going to probably be taking uh fatal lang here because look look at this. plus 30 melee weapon skills to troops in your party while in shield wall formation. And we are using shield wall formation quite often. Not a huge amount, but quite often. And indeed, I probably want to h I’m thinking about what I want to get now. What do I want to get? These the this particular skill is so insanely difficult for some reason for us to level up. I think I probably need to go into more storms. It says here, weather storms. So, I’m assuming I should probably just head for storms and run around in them or something, and that’s going to increase our our skill quite uh quite nicely, or at least hopefully. And for me personally, right now, I’m not entirely sure if I need more riding skill. Breeder skill is fantastic, but riding skill in general, I’m not sure if we’re really going to need it that much. Obviously, we are doing quite a few field battles now because we’re starting to head into the the the part of the game where there are just so many field battles and sieges and things like that. So, I don’t know. But I’m going to be putting another point into pole arms here considering I’m actually using my pole arm quite dramatically and doing relatively well with it, surprisingly enough. We’re just going to wait here for some time. Let’s see what we can do. So, my security is actually already very, very good. So, it’s actually not even necessary for me to take um presents, which is what I obviously took now. But um it doesn’t seem like it was actually necessary for us to do that. So, I guess I don’t really have to worry too much. Now, we are obviously going to do a little bit of a recruitment drive. We will need to do that. I will also need to go and deal with this castle because that apparently has been that apparently is also a Vlandian thief. Um which is quite funny. I didn’t even realize that that was actually the case at the time. I thought, “Oh, it’s just a just a town with a castle.” And I didn’t actually know that there was a castle at all. I uh literally just ignored that fact for some reason. I don’t know why. And there’s Ryland. He’s now joined us, which is obviously very nice. So, let’s actually see what I can do here. Just going to recruit people from this. I’m actually surprised that this particular village doesn’t hate us. They apparently are okay with giving me troops somehow. It’s probably cuz I own it, right? It’s probably because I own it or something like that. I don’t know. Uh there is actually somewhere something that I want to do here though. I want to attack these deserters. They’re actually looking pretty dangerous to be honest. Yeah, they’re looking they’re actually looking pretty dangerous. What what’s actually what’s going on here? This is crazy. Uh let’s go in here. kind of I I’m not entirely sure if this is a waste of time to be honest to go in versus these guys, but I I feel like I don’t really want to auto resolve against them because they have kind of kind of good combat strength and if we were to go in against them, they would more than likely kill a handful of our high tier troops. I would like to prevent that as much as possible. Let’s get out our polar, see if we can snipe a couple of their enemy cavalry. They have quite a few as well, as you can see. Nice. Wow, that was that was a snipe and a half, wasn’t it? Okay, that was really nice. And if we can maybe do a similar thing to this one. Nice. Ooh, no. It didn’t kill him, though. Didn’t kill him. I was really, really hopeful there for a second. Wow. Yeah, look at look at exactly what happens. Whenever a cavalry decides to run straight in to our Nordic infantry line, they just get murdered cuz our guys have have spears, you know. They have spears and they are going to be very very good against pretty much any cavalry. This fellow is going to die soon as well. There we go. Nice, nice, nice. I’m actually pretty good at getting around shields now. I don’t know what it is, but must be all that practice with the previous series. That’s probably the case. Uh, let’s just see if we can be a little bit careful here. I am going to die very, very fast if I’m not careful cuz these fellows have my number dialed in and my number reads forehead. Yeah. That that that’s that’s exactly what’s happening right now. Okay, let’s let’s be a bit careful here. I don’t actually want to die if I can help it. So, I’m just going to tell my forces to charge in. Tell my archers to go off to the side there. See if we can maybe flank a little bit. I mean, I’m not really going for a super hardcore flank or anything, but I just thought, hey, you know what? Might as well. Maybe not. Actually, h it’s probably not the best idea. This is Yeah, this is probably not the best idea actually. H actually, you know what? I should really just trust in the fact that Nords have amazing melee archers. As in their their archers are really really good at melee. I don’t mind dying here. It’s absolutely fine. Uh but yeah, generally as you’ve seen, did you see how incredibly impactful they were? They literally just switched. They have shields as well, which is really very very good. Look at that. 11 renowned. 11 renowned for doing this. That is that is really good. 11 renowned for tackling some random deserter party. I mean, really, how can we say no to that? That is amazingly good. Anyway, um yeah, now that we have this, what we’re going to do is we’re obviously going to be placing as many Nord Younglings in here as possible. I mean, unfortunately, at the moment, we have a situation where I am kind of forced into well being a little bit more passive now. I’m going to be taking some Nords, though. Going to take some Nords from here. Nords from here. There we go. Loads of Nords, actually. Very, very nice that they had so many. And yeah, there we go. That’s that’s what we’re going to do. So, this is the reason why I wanted the tier fours and below because tier fours are personally tier fours are obviously the fastest, but most of the lower tier troops are going to get converted very very easily. And because we have 100 morale, this is going to make things very, very simple for us to reinforce our garrison. And that is the number one goal that we have right now. Reinforcing our garrison is literally the most important thing to us here. Cuz if we can do that, we will literally be completely and utterly fine. We will have very very little problems because only the largest armies that the uh enemies around us can muster will be able to tackle us. Uh I am actually going to have to deal with these deserters though cuz they are annoying our villagers. How dare you? How dare you annoy my villagers? Get out of here. Thank you very much. Okay, there we go. And we can also take that Nord peasant as well. We might as well do that. And here we go. Oh yeah, more loot. Very more very, very nice loot. And indeed, we can get some more of these as well. Great. Okay. Um, I think now that we have taken this, I am actually going to end this episode off here. Um, did I actually put him as a as a as a steward, by the way? No, I didn’t. Uh, okay. Ryland, you go and do that. There we go. Okay, so he’s going to obviously do that. Uh the uh unfortunately the governor’s culture is actually reducing the relation a little bit. Um I don’t know whether is he actually doing anything good for us? Actually, you know what? He isn’t. The only thing he’s really doing is faster building production by 12%. Which I’d say is pretty decent. I could make our wife do it. Uh cuz she’s actually really good. So maybe we want to do that. She’s not actually providing us any loyalty. A little bit of loyalty. You know what? Let’s have a Gria be the the governor here. Look at how crazy this is. Plus six loyalty right there. As well as plus three security and everything. Yeah, I think that maybe makes the most sense. We’re also going to probably be changing this to irrigation again cuz we don’t need festivals and games any further. We could potentially also go for train militia. Let’s go for train militia. Let’s do that. And then we can just wait around for a little bit of time. And as I said, we’re going to end the episode off here. Next time I am going to be attempting to take the castle. I think that probably should be relatively simple for us. Maybe cross fingers. I don’t know. Is it going to be easy for us? Maybe. I don’t know. But um we’re going to try it out at the very least and we’ll see what happens. And indeed, I am, as you can see, going to continue just placing people in the garrison here as much as I possibly can. I’m aiming for as as much of a big garrison as I can. I’m a big fan of verticality when it comes to town progression. So you can see here, look at my look at my crazy prosperity right here. Crazy prosperity really making a huge difference to make our wages vanish. So yes, anyway, I thank you very much for watching and I’ll see you next time.
