Hi @Cyprian2,

I love that a "suicide attack accidentally take[s] Flanders."
Wanted to get rid of a heir and plunged him into Flanders with his 10 men. Had 9 valour (!), and all those morale/weapon/armour boosts on Castle level. Cleaned out some 550-600 rebels, their last unit still not believing what happened were killed in a little forest (had them dismounted, a nice trick against these FeudalKnights in forests). So I stood there, at this point of time unwanted Flanders in hands, an unwanted heir still alive - so I tore down everything (giving quite some cash) and send the guy into the next province wit about 1.200 Frenchies. There he got killed at last, taking with him iirc about another 450men.....

Cyprus: I always go for one or two islands in the mediterranean for ship production (and keeping upkeep a bit lower), and Cyprus was the only Rebel one. So I took it...

Norse: As known, my all-time-favourites. Their cavalry has the big plus of being of exceedingly high morale. The other stats aren´t too bad either, but what I really love about those Norse is that nearly every available unit has "great morale". So small armies do the work of twice or thrice the men normally needed - they simply never break/rout, but keep fighting till the tide turns to their favour....

Will report more, but dealt with another game this weekend, so a bit patience is needed ;-))

greetings, daigaku
