The Crusade against SA

[Zakilevo]

I thought the queen resigned?

Well I just got demoted to vice marshal :(

I hated the defenders :( Had only 3 people to lead. Horrible times.

Marshal/VP isn't very fun anyways. I've been Marshal so many times.. I usually get stuck with the job because I'm so active.. plus it's the maintance armies which are even more boring  :P Gets me extra brownie points with the nobility at least  :-\

[Zakilevo]

True. Being a marshal isn't very fun. When I play my char in Sirion, I have to order people in the morning because the marshal lives in the other side of the planet to order things. (he has to sleep too)

I misorder the army sometimes :( well at least there are 6 people who would fix my mistakes there. :)

Marshal is a stepping stone to greater places. Most marshals I've seen have gone on to be lords, and gain council positions. Both of my dukes started out as marshals and worked their way up. Dukeship is partially about luck though, but also there is a part about making the right friends, and not making the wrong enemies.

Oh for sure. It's a great stepping stone, but I should have commented that the Marshalships I hold are with characters that were already lords and in the higher councils. Granted I put my name forward for one of them, now I regret it and no one else wants to become a Marshal. Even for some of our fighting armies no one is stepping up (in Ibladesh). Oh well, we're still winning the war.. kind of..

People are just being shy :) Give them some gentle taps at the back before you push them off the cliff. Just pick a trusty noble to be a marshal if no one wants it.

Indeed, the marshal position has to be one of the most demanding positions to have in the game. I suppose General can be demanding too if you play a very controlling and micro-managing General. But for sure, playing a good (read: active) marshal is perhaps one of the best ways to gain recognition and favor in your realm to propel you to better things.

[Scribe:156189|7744b2f3d039d6fc]      Battle in Valkyrja

Preview it with a Dwi char.

[Galvez]

55 attackers (2160 Inf, 590 Arch, 39 Cav, 149 SF)
46 defenders (736 Inf, 194 MI, 70 Arch, 206 Cav)
Total combat strengths: 31340 vs. 15943

And with 72 siege engines at the citadel, great! Nice battle.

[Nosferatus]

with more archers, averoth might have had a better chance i think.

[dustole]

I disagree,  they should have had more infantry and less cavalry.

[songqu88@gmail.com]

Well they shouldn't have placed themselves in a position to face armies from 4 realms at once.

[Indirik]

Bah.... LE didn't show up at the battle. :(
