>Playing Native Expansion
>Through hard work and building a lot of good relations with almost every lord, join the Rhodok kingdom
>Slowly but surely cement my place in the kingdom
>Be honorable in every instance (caused Khegerits to hate me lol)
>Become good friends with most of the lords in my kingdom (and a few in the Sultanate)
>Over a series of wars, take out Swadia
>Manage to secure Praven for myself
>Enjoy a long and fruitful peace, make a factory or tanner or whatever in every town I can
>Joyous feasts, wondrous tournaments in the name of the kingdom
>Then, attacking with all of the stealth and fury of a striking viper, the Dark Knights came
>>333554740
>They appear in the center of the map, where (former) Swadia, Vaegir, and Khergit territory intersect
>Immediately begin putting Khergit lands to the torch
>I know that our territory will not be safe for long
>Try to get Graveth and the marshal of the kingdom to prepare for war, but they are not moving fast enough
>Go to the Sultanate looking for allies
>Hakim is still butthurt over a minor war that happened awhile ago where we took his castle (he attacked us first lel)
>Manage to get two Sarrinid lords to come over to the Rhodok kingdom.
>It'll have to do
>Start training garrison troops as hard as I can, bleeding them on bandits to toughen them up
>Meanwhile, the Dark Knights mass on our border
>I doubt myself, wonder if my preparations will all be in vain
>I have seen what those Knights can do, and I know that most of my troops are worth nothing in a fight with them
>Still, I will not hand over the kingdom to them, the Swadians, or anyone else!

>I was training some more garrison troops when the attack came
>They struck without warning, laying siege to a (former) Swadian castle near the Khergit border
>Fortunately it was the castle I had drawn troops from, and their replacement were my battle-hardened veterans of the siege of Praven
>They could hold the line until I returned
>Get back and take command
>The Dark Knights assault
>I take my place at the front
>Try not to panic
>The ladder full of advancing black armor made that difficult though
>They came like the tide
>If the tide was made of black metal and screaming bloody murder
>We held the line, beating back the reckless assault
>My veterans were the match of the black knights, for every Rhodok Halbridier that fell a black knight was thrown from the ramparts
>But for every knight killed, another took his place
>After three waves, the black knights gave up the assault
>We were bloodied, bruised, close to breaking
>But we were not broken
>I decided to cut my losses and took what troops remained, leaving the castle to the Dark Knights
>I consoled myself, "it is only one castle, just this once. It will never happen again"
>The taste of defeat bitter in my mouth, I marched for Uxkhal, hoping to rest and recuperate
>Behind me the Dark Knights raided villages, ambushed unwary lords, and laid siege to more castles and cities
>I could not help them, my army was spent
>>333556732
>After a short period of rest, then began a long, slow war against the Dark Knights
>I broke my promise to myself, and gave up many castles and towns to the advancing dark horde
>I would bleed the knights were I could, but most of the time it was a rather uneven exchange
>Some time passes, fighting losing battles against seemingly endless hordes of black armored foes
>I begin to waver, consider fleeing to the Vaegir kingdom to buy time before the end
>
>
>Roughly half of the (former) Swadian lands and half of the Khergit lands are now Dark Knight territory
>But now, I see a chance
>The Dark Knights are still the dominant military power, but they have lost much of their strength due to my holding actions and various sieges
>And now they have declared war on the Sarrinids
>The Sultan himself leads a war party against them
>I gather all of the lords I can (about 2/3rds of them) and ride out to join them and march together against the threat
>The battle happens near Jameyyed Castle
>A force of Rhodok, Swadian, and Sarrinid troops faces a sea of black armor
>This... will be difficult
>get ungodly amounts of renown
>level 30+
>finally commanding 200+ men
>funded by the hundreds of thousands I've spent on investments
>take a castle
>lose all interest to play the game
I've done this 4-5 times
I need help
>>333557517
>The battle begins
>I have a very small amount of troops
>Luckily, the game saw fit to give me my Elite crossbowmen
>Have my heavy infantry turtle around the crossbowmen
>What little cav I have stands nearby, at the ready
>All of the other lords advance slowly
>I take the center and dare the Dark Knights to break ranks and attack me
>Some do, others don't
>Lead them back to my turtle formation and kill them with superior numbers
>A trick that would only work once, but was useful
>The main forces hit each other, hard
>Sultan Hakim slicing knights left and right
>My troops are right in the center
>Link up with the Sultan, carve through many knights
>but not enough
>They overwhelm the Sultan and his guard eventually
>My troops and I withdraw and try to regroup with the bulk of our forces still on the field
>Some make it
>Most don't
>>333558417
>Fight a desperate last stand in the depression of a sand dune
>Get knocked unconscious and watch the last of our forces get slaughtered
>Battle over
>A new one begins
>I am at very low health due to previous knockout, but still take the field (like hell I am going to let this auto-resolve)
>Same strategy as before
>I notice that the dark knights seem less numerous, and they are deploying their second-rate knights
>Still more than enough to kill us though
>This battle goes much the same as the last (expect I get K.O.'d much earlier)
>But I notice that it was much closer
>Third battle
>There are no top-level dark knights to be seen, and they have deployed mostly archers (who can still kill us a close range just fine cause DARK KNIGHTS LAWL EVERYONE HAS PLATE ARMOR)
>We take the field, and charge as fast as we can at their lines
>Hit them hard, cavalry disrupts their archers long enough for infantry to get into combat
>A glorious slaughter begins
>They have to call in reinforcements before we do
>They take their toll on us though, our men fall in droves
>Eventually their line is broken, and they begin to rout
>Wait, we won?
>
>
>First time for everything I suppose
>We chase down and kill every one we can catch
>Battle begins again
>This time its a slaughter, Dark Archers fall in droves to our might
>The Sultan has recovered and is slicing people with his HUGE goddamn scimitar again
>The Dark Knights rout before reinforcements are called
>I raise my sword, gifted to me by Graveth, to the sky and shout in exultation
>"I HAVE BROKEN THE DARK KNIGHTS"
>>333559664
>That was the last battle to be fought that day
>The broken remnants of the Dark Knights fled for their holdings
>We let them go for now, we were in no shape to pursue
>But we had WON
>AGAINST THE DARK KNIGHTS
>Go back to Uxkhal
>Rest and recuperate
>Begin planning to take back all of the territory lost to the Dark Knights
>War begins again
>Start laying siege to castles
>previously castles I had written off
>Now I return a glorious liberator
>Take back all that I can
>The armies of the dark knights are scattered, but still dangerous to individual lords
>I know that they must be dealt with
>Gather some lords, and go hunting
>Take out all of them, then get a message
>"Praven is under siege!"
>The last 150 or so Dark Knights were laying siege to my fortress of Praven
>Probably as some form of revenge for my role in destroying them
>Ride back to Praven and take command of the defense
>Take my place at the front, again
>The ladder full of black armor comes forth, again
>Feel no fear this time
>They come like the tide
>And we resisted them like a rock
>Cut down many Dark Knights
>The tide stops
>I look at the field before the castle
>It is filled with black
>I look at my men
>They cheer for me, for the kingdom, for the end of the war
>Close the game, and smile

me too anon
i'm mainly an MP player. the SP is disjointed and doesn't realize the only good thing about it is the combat. the middle man to get to the big battles is too big. the biggest retardation is gathering every single companion and then sending them out on missions to increase your right to rule. it's tedious shit.
