Maybe I should do some weakening battles with an all-cavarly (mounted crossbow and horse archer, plus some royal knights) army. Shoot 'em up and withdraw... you can do a lots of shooting in 95 minutes of battle, that is for sure. Will my generals reputation suffer, if I shoot everybody up, shoot all my arrows and then withdraw?
Yes, it can - but it still may be worth it. Just don't bring your best general - bring one that you aren't grooming instead. (I mean, you aren't intending for him to win anyways.) This can even be a good way to suicide some mercs, obsolete troops, disloyal generals, or anyone else you don't feel like keeping around for much longer.
I managed to do 1 turn in the weekend, but that was like 9 hours long: the year 1232. I fought at least 7 battles, 3 winter scene... I lost 4 battles: My offensive one that aimed on weakening the Byz, a defensive one against the Byz again in the territory I gained last turn, another that I attacked an eclave of rebel territory inside mine and a one of the three defending against the Golden Horde. Yes, the Horde attacked me, but my armies prevailed in 2 of 3 battles and managed to kill the Khan. Now the Horde is disintegrated into rebel factions and actually the Germans reappeared in Kazar fighting to gain the territory. For some reason it is the second time I see the Germans reappear in Kazar. Anyway that is good- they will weaken each other - hopefully. The Spanish are experiencing some rebellions in their territories, and that is good ;) However my troubles are still the Byz, but I think I know now how to deal with them. (Oh by the way I just realized that my best commander [command point wise that is] actually has some morale minus - that means a quick end for him, I think) It is very hard to go back to peace with any power, unless you are really having the upper hand...
