    Lucky you!

    I've been delaying a fight in my Scottish/Early/GA/Hard/XL campaign against the French because I have primarily Viking Landsmen and Huscarles, some Scottish Spearmen - and they have Norman Knights, Feudal Knights, their foot counterparts, and Hobilars, and...well...there is a forest where my battle will take place (tried it once already...it just went terrible, I messed it up).
    I believe in a society without rules, laws and regulations. A society where there are only ideas - strict ideas that must be followed to by the letter - and any failure to comply is punishable by death. This would be no dictatorship or police state, no one would be living in terror. It would merely be a 'reassessment of one's preferences,' people living in 'not-so-optimistic security.' So, welcome, those who are 'longing to be blindly obedient and loyal, unbeknownst to them.'

    You just gotta love them Naxarrars and Armenian Infantry

    Very nice victory, and hopefully they should both be knocked back enough for you to manage a little land-grab by way of reparations

    My usual start with Armenia is to go for the Egyptians first, grab Antioch (you only have the one border with them after that) and stay friendly with the Turks and the Byz in the meantime. The income from Antioch is very useful!

    Yup, both of them are pretty awesome, especially against those lighter spears and such. Unfortunately, that campaign ended in disaster, I couldn't convince either of them for peace, and the only way I could attack would be to risk losing Lesser Armenia from the flank. Thus, I basically ended up in an arms race with the two Muslim factions, and ended up near bankruptcy. I'll have to give them another go trying to use your method.(and hopefully the two factions won't double team me again )
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    Sorry to hear your campaign is sputtering, greaterkhaan. Good luck on your next go, however.

    And regardless of how your current campaign has turned out, a big congrats on your victory, man.

    It's not nice being surrounded by three big neighbours at the beginning, that's for sure. I've never survived when I fought the Byz or Turks first... At least with Antioch you have more cash and extra training facilities when that war becomes unavoidable, but it is touch and go for a while. But that's what makes it such an exciting campaign to play. Better luck next time

    Nice battle, dude. You took everyone to the cleaners!

    My Turkish empire is about to face down the biggest horde I've ever seen in the entire time I've been playing MTW. I doubt I'll be as fortunate as you.

    How many Mongols are you facing?
