Haven't been getting much sleep recently, playing Medieval 2 to the wee hours. Anyway having conquered most of France as England I suddenly got attacked on 3 sides by the Portuguese, Milanese and Danish. Did an "Auto-resolve" on the 1st 2 cos I was feeling lazy and wasn't going to lose.
Now the Danish were a different matter, they'd besieged Hamburg and I had 433 men to their 1079. "What the hell", I figured, "It'll be a laugh seeing how of theirs I can take out before I lose valiantly".
Stuck 2 ranks of spearmen and 2 archers on the walls, then 3 ranks of armoured knights at the gate. They came at me with a battering ram and a siege tower and 1 ladder. Tried to burn out the ram and tower with flaming arrows to no avail, they broke through the gate.
Then my heroic armoured knights came to the fore, they stopped 3 ranks of peasant milita, 2 ranks of heavy cavalry and finally 1 rank of cleric? heavy cavalry. The spearmen meantime had taken care of a few ranks of militia on the walls, then gathered at the gate edges to help mop up. At the end I had 20-odd archers, 20-odd spearmen and 2 knights who now have 3 ranks each.
Took out 896 Danish for 342 of my men. Nice!![]()
