This is the Guide to France in Chivalry total War, Ihave no screenshots because I dont know how to take them, any other guides on Chiv-Total War here to as well. This will be as realistic as possible.

Paris,France

Early years-the Start of an Empire!
The first thing I did was build the Crusader State Claim, I also built that in all other cities, leading up to Crusader units, very handy in upcoming years. Units were immediatly trained, Urban Miltia was the first thing I trained. My plan was to move in, and take Brittiany. I moved in an army of 5 Urban miltia's. They marched through territory unchallenged. Until on the horizon something was spotted, something which would ruin my Early plans. Coming in my direction was an full army of Rebels, I was doomed.


I did nothing, I broke off my siege and ran for the forests, hoping they would not chase me. I ran across the bridge, running. When something even worse happened. 2 full rebel armies were heading straight at me!! No where to go, they were trapped. There fate decided. The first army attacked, to my absolute hrror they were being reinforced by another army! Nothing could go more wrong!

The Slaughter in Brittiany.
The armies stood there facing eachother, one sentenced to doom, they other victory. But which was which. They obtained high ground, even worse. The battle started. I withdrew 2 of my units. 3 left. We stood there for ages, unlimted time. Just facing eachother. Finnaly, I made my last move. The Urban Miltia did a suicide charge up the hill and into and defensive wall of Levy spearmen,archers and Urban Miltia. Arrows coming down, men fallin left right and center. The 80 which charged turned into an 40 in mere seconds, dead leaving a trail. They hit the wall. Some instantly killed, 1 whole squad wiped out in less then 30 seconds, there Cavalry charges in, moping up the rest. How could my army survive? It didn't. The bodies dressing the ground. it was an day of gloom as Paris was in Mourning. the Doom Day...

End of the Early years-An Start of an French Empire
After that crushing defeat,remembered by the Rebels and English the most, was an burn on my plans. But I needed revenge!! I could now train Crusader units. I trained Crusader Soldiers,Crusader Dismounted Knights. Plus I sent along 2 High Noble units. I wanted to wipe them from exscitence!! Only looking for war,some civlians realised and Rebelled in Apris and Reims. It was crushed and an Marshal Law enplaced.

Time now getting on, all the other nations in Europe were starting to move, Sicily now controlled all of Italy, the Moors controlled Half of Spain and North Africa. The rest unknown. The Holy Roman Empire realised my might and allied with me. The English offering mere Trade Rights, which I declined. Remebering Doom Day. The Crusader amry came charging into Brittiany. That battle is not worth mentioning because nothing but one thing happened, I killed all of them. Satisfied with my Victory, my general growing in power. I moved onto there city. A could see another rebel army coming, so Istruck fast.

Within a year I zipped in and took the city. My options. Occupy (They were rebelling),Enslave (Rebels),Exterminate (he,he,he) . the extermination begun and instead of being burnt into English,French and Rebel books. It was burnt into Europes history. It was Europe's doom day, as France was on the rise, and that is the End of The Start of my French AAR, thanks for reading, I will post more soon..

Have you got Fraps? If not, you can download it for free, its ideal for in-game screenshots. You choose what button takes the pics, and what folder the pics are sent to, its dead easy to use.

The Rising Years-Middle of the French Empire
With Brittiany mine my eye of power looked at all the other states surrounding France, my France that is. I got my professinal army out of Brittiany and sent in an Garrison from Paris. I had decided that I should have a standing army, to save me from Invaders and Rebellions. This army having 2 bars of Experince,it was time to move. They went back to Paris for a year, retrained, full strength again. With even more experince. Then they marched south. Into the mountains, the rebel army was away fighting,leaving the city of Clermont wide open. I struk hard, when they realised I was there they had fallen. I sent in another garrison from Paris and moved my standing army on. The very next year we went even further down,near Italy, to Geneva. There army was fighting Sicily so we had no resitance at all. We took Geneva with no casulties. With much of Soth Eastern France taken. I had a new stratergy of going in fast. I sent in horse's first,before they expected it. Then they were thrown off course, long enough for my Infantry to come in. This time we were going to take Bordeaux, but there was 2 full strength rebel armies there!! We came from north. Over the bridge, they attacked...

The Battle of Bordeaux
This time I had a good army, this time I was going to win. there was about 417 of me, and around 1000 of them. Most were Feudal Saergants,levy Spearmen. I got my crusader Sodliers and lined them up, were they put down there spears in an Phalanx type move. The Crusader Dismounted knights were behind them, and behind them was my 2 High Noble units. The enemy came charging in. They had one unit of Cavalry, I sent of one of my High Nobles. They were hit when moving and a fiearce battle happened. the main army of Rebels went straight into my spears, cutting them, then my second row charged forward and we wiped most out. That was the momet when it was decided the Fate of nations, if my soldiers lost, so did France. Finnaly, the last of the Rebels were killed, except for a few. My victory was great. But one thing went wrong. My second in command General, High Noble, an family member. Was wiped out by Spearmen. His body bloodied, it was removed.

The end of the Start
The early days were over. my power was growing, I was known!! But a few things happened before my Golden age. One was that England attacked me, it attacked right next to my capital, Reims and attacked. More on that later though. I now had England,Italy and Flanders in sight, it was going to be MINE!! I will post more later, do you like it?
