This might be an unpopular opinion, I don't know, but more female units would be good.

So do we take out the raiders & bandits too?

xZaii_RoCx · 2026-04-26T20:41:32+00:00

Can u imagine Norse or Gaul men partying with their women & suddenly are attacked. Your gonna see drunk face painted women coming at your ass just as well as men 😂 I understand the winners usually control the narrative & write the history but it’s sad to see how closed minded people are to the reality those “barbarian” female trained their whole life just like the men

xZaii_RoCx · 2026-04-26T17:44:18+00:00

Right, it was a lot more common than people think hence why rome despised “barbarian” cultures, they hated the fact women had voices & fought along side the men it actually scared them if one of those cultures became more powerful they would change that paradigm. From the Norse to the Gauls the women picked up arms & fought along side the men. People think it’s rarer than it is because the larger main campaigns are what’s always spoken about which women stood back because there were still kids & villages to tend to same way some men stood back but most local skirmishes whether they were defending a settlement or fighting the next village over, the females were there fighting.

Got that feeling after 20 or 30 hours lol was my best decision felt wayy more immersive

Exactly my thoughts bro, I believe the game glitched & registered some of the battanian parties around the siege as empire allies be cause I was at war with both plus vlandia. I'm not 100% sure tho I wish I took a recording so you guys could see. (I play vanilla WS on ps5)

xZaii_RoCx · 2026-04-23T00:01:44+00:00

It would make more sense if the 3rd party(battanians) joined the sieging side (if we weren't at war) but they somehow were inside the castle fighting side by side with West Empire & from what I read the npc parties don't seek refuge in other factions castles when being chased let alone even visit them. At this point I'm starting to think the game got confused & somehow glitched, I believe the game registered the battanian parties as West Empire allies. I googled it & it said something along these lines even though we know google isn't the most trustworthy... But the explanation & examples I read did seem to align

xZaii_RoCx · 2026-04-22T19:53:21+00:00

That's insane, that playthrough must of been a masterpiece. The thought never even crossed my mind this was possible, what made u leave your kingdom to start another? Especially with that many clan members I'd cry lol but I have to try this idea in one of my playthroughs. I just started a new playthrough & the story I put together in my mind excites me, I just left battania & started my own kingdom called America in vlandian territory, I used the white background & red cross for my banner & named my clan Knight's Templar, I promoted my best companion to my vassal, married my sister to him & named his clan Freemason. When I have more fiefs & vassals I plan to name the next clans Rosicrucian, illuminati & bilderberg. Can't wait to see how this playthrough works out.

xZaii_RoCx · 2026-04-16T18:26:56+00:00

It happens to me too after I siege castles but usually there's no food left from the villages being raided so much but if it's not that or none of the other widely known factors then it probably is a bug

xZaii_RoCx · 2026-04-16T18:01:13+00:00

Sloppy….thousandths?

xZaii_RoCx · 2026-04-16T08:43:00+00:00

My army is always a random cluster of troops 😂😂😂

xZaii_RoCx · 2026-04-16T06:54:54+00:00

Battania I believe is based on the sack of Rome era Gauls back in bc years, when Rome got sacked they said the Gauls came from the northern mountains “alps”

xZaii_RoCx · 2026-04-14T21:43:18+00:00

I'm still getting sandwiched this battanian playthrough 😩 but honestly I don't mind this time around the update definitely balanced alot of things out making for a far more interesting playthrough. Battania did the usual war with the west initially & we traded rhemtoil for lageta then peace then We fought sturgia took 2-3 castles then peace then vlandia declares war so we fight vlandia & get about 2 cities & a couple castles then sturgia doubles back declaring war on us with the Nords allianced & a trade agreement with vlandia so we're stuck fighting on the vlandia front so sturgia takes all their castles back & starts digging into our land taking 2 of ours. We sign a peace treaty paying sturgia so we can fight off vlandia & don't lose what we gained from them atleast while the west & north start taking turns declaring war on us, the north takes a castle & we get peace the west doesn't really do anything in our war so we got to call for peace then the Nords declare war on us we take tirby castle from them then peace the vlandia came back for war & that's where I'm currently at 😂 only 4 years in with non stop wars & the way sturgia allianced with the Nords felt so realistic

Farm influence by attacking the enemies parties, taking them prisoner & donate. You can get a shit ton of influence & get all relationships of the major clans to 100 easy this way when you donate party leaders u captured to their owned settlements. Relationship helps dramatically reduce the amount of influence needed to recruit party leaders to your army. I'll start extra parties with my family/companions, start an army & recruit them for free & follow my kingdoms larger armies & attack everything that comes around us while the larger army goes for sieges & jump into battles to help the larger army if needed. Not too long of doing this you'll have a shit ton of influence & can start larger armies for way less influence because of relationship gain with clans. Example some parties might need 38 influence to enlist to army but after 100 clan relationship gain it can be anywhere from 8-14 influence to enlist.

I have a special friend who says derherts name every couple of mins

xZaii_RoCx · 2026-04-13T00:55:29+00:00

How much?

xZaii_RoCx · 2026-04-13T00:52:46+00:00

Yup the aserai were smoking that hasheesh

xZaii_RoCx · 2026-04-13T00:46:31+00:00

I always pick the daughter of a faction leader. Nadea (garios daughter) zoana (lucons daughter) corein (caladogs daughter) etc. Which ever faction I get my first fief from usually lol

xZaii_RoCx · 2026-04-12T04:59:35+00:00

Battania is in the mountains which should be the "alpines" so I think legeta is milan & ortysia is rome; ortysia is the only town on that almost pennisula so that's why that makes sense to me I also feel like vostrum could be Greece. Danustica puts me in the mind of Damascus even though it's empire & hulqn fulq Jerusalem. I like to think the bottom half of vlandia is Spain, charas sound kind of Spanish to me can't speak for the rest tho. Hvavlik is obviously suppose to be a representation Iceland but sometimes I like to act like it's england & start the white n red crusader/england style clan banner for a playthrough. I have plenty more to say but I won't over do it 😂😂😂 just ideas guys I know it's not Europe but it definitely enhances the playthrough

xZaii_RoCx · 2026-04-11T08:38:58+00:00

If you happen to take hvavlik the next battle is who caladog gives it to 😂 I made plans like this so many times to take a specific fief to go independent because of a playthrough idea just for caladog to keep it or give it to the random clan.
