I had realised that in my new mod England were in a bit of a weak state with many people who have played the mod telling me so http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wacko.gif So i attempted to really try to disprove Englands weakness......and the results are not good
King william could see his situation was precarious to say the least. His enemies were all around him and he had to choose his policies of war carefully. The economy was good and he felt it was time to take one of his rivals out for good and that was Prince Gruffyd of Wales.
The invasion was big and William was confident but the Welsh were more than ready. Hidded by the trees and mountains they launched a ferocious assault on the compressed English lines which ended in disaster for the English, losing half of there 900 strength along with one the Heirs to the throne.
This was not the only blow to come to the English. King Baleron of Navarre had invaded Aquitaine and destroyed the english army, along with King Malcolm III invading and occupying Northumbria. Things were looking bleaker.
William was losing support and a civil war began, with william being overthrown by his son. The new king Howard was determined to bring England back to greatness. The loss of the french provences was dismal but the king wanted the British isles under his control before a war with France could even be contemplated.
Wales was first on his warpath. In was a ruin after his army annihilated the welsh force and Wales was now his. Scotland was next. Northumbria was taken back and new alliances were made with the rulers of Norway, Ireland and Navarre all becoming friendly with England.
Yet just as Howard was preparing the final assault on the Scots, word had arrived that Howard had been excomunicated. If this wasn't enough, a huge Spanish Crusading army was on way to Wessex.
There was no time to spare. All forces were gathered. Some 1100 but were still outnumbered by the 2400 spanish host. It was desperate but after the spanish general was cut down his army broke and all separate reinforcement detachments were beaten in turn. A most glorious victory.........
Thats all i've got to at the moment It is possible but very hard, yet very fun http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif
