You can also walk more deep into enemy territory, but you risk fighting forces gathered there. You can attack only cities that are in direct neighbor with you, raid them and immediately return. Campaign difficulty depends on how much gold you need. You can do it with the right stance or by taking over cities and taking away its money. Raiding is similar, but instead of taking over regions your objective is to loot them. It will only increase costs of future rebuilding. Remember - you want to conquer enemy settlements. If enemy happened to be weaker than you expected, then some of armies should be left on cities to improve public order. If a state has become a horde, then you must destroy remains of enemy forces. The whole process must be repeated until you take over the last region. In conquered regions armies must regain strength, wait through winter and then move forward.

Your armies objective is first to destroy enemy armies and then claim him settlements. If a border between you and him is through three regions, leaving one of them at peace might encourage him to attack you. They must walk into enemy territory in a way that will daunt him from attacking and force him to defense. Armies must cooperate with each other, fight battles and siege a city in pairs to reduce chances of failure. You need at least few armies, each with 20 formations and minimum one siege machine. You want to conquer enemy territory, raid them, loot border territories, find a place to settle in, or maybe convince an enemy to some diplomatic action, like signing peace treaty or accept your leadership? Each of those objectives mean fighting battles, but they differ in details and require using different forces.Ĭonquest depends on numbers. The main trouble with campaign planning is setting its objective.
