She didn’t know about it at the time. She was told to enter the city through the back entrance while the MC, Darin, and a few other people presumably were thrown an impromptu parade from the veterans and citizens within Lanorlay. She was taken to start negotiations right away.
Moren is a relatively new leader despite being older. He inherited from Lord tomas who was leader during the border wars and he was old then as well. We don’t know the situation they might have been economically weak which would have prevented them from rebelling as well.
When? When she finishes shoring up her power and the new leader of krorid has established an alliance with some other nation or shored up their defences to become impenetrable? Moren doesn’t have long to live he’s older and has Consumption he’s dying within a year tops.
There is an effort they would have to establish a trade line of some sort going through an area where trading and setting up supply lines is exceedingly difficult because of the jungle environment.
While I understand the value “pretty” wood would have, for the sales of dye or for luxury goods there would be no reason to keep the territory for that reason unless the resource could be actively exploited which would be difficult for the same reason as trade lines would be difficult from above.
Again Moren is soon dead when is she going to press it if not soon? If he dies during the civil war she can’t do anything about it.
Also highwaymen and brigands and bandits are a thing at this time, even in a perfectly domestic trade route. While it didn’t stop merchants (and they’d definitely hire guards in a sort of arms race), it meant that a trade route was not easy and safe just because it was completely within one region.
I didn’t even think about that, it would be fairly easy for bandits to set up at a river crossing into krorid, come out of the jungle and ambush merchants wouldn’t it.
The risk of “My military may desert me if I abandon Inae Dirriman to their fate” ensures that he goes to the negotiating table. This is the kind of thing that ends reigns. On the other hand, Elya’s faced with risks like “Kronid sticks by their lord and refuses to help them” or “Half the army rallies to Inae Dirriman, half the army stays loyal to Moren, and now you’re fighting a second war”.
It’s a situation that pretty much ensures that Moren has to bring a reasonable offer to the table, and that Elya has to accept it.
I mean, sure: Castile and Leon multiple times across the 11th and 12th centuries.
Originally a county under Leon and oftentimes Navarra, upon the death of King Ferdinand the Great Castile was lifted to the status of kingdom and given to his son Sancho, while the second, Alfonso, recieved Leon and the youngest, Garcia, Galicia. This with the objective of preserving a unified front against the muslim taifas.
It would happen again nearly a century later when King Alfonso the Emperor died, leaving Castile to Sancho II and Leon to Ferdinand II.
… Bro, if you think our small batallion of professionals can in any way compare, be in its capabilities, flexibility, organization, training or numbers to any ancient, centralized, urban, bureocratic empire, and that they can hold a region that is pure deadly jungle filled with militias specialized in guerilla warfare, then I am sorry but you are delusional.
Erisia, which just got done fighting a multiple year war with both Krorid and Kanton. Which from what bacon has said is a state similar to the mongol successor states such as the Golden Horde or the Ilkhanate. Which while weaker than the overall empire are still scary as all hell and probably no nation wants to singularly fight against, especially if there is also a steppe kingdom/empire remnant on their eastern border as well as the west.
Because the professional soldiers probably don’t have the experience for it, it’s implied Sobik only recently before his death started to raise a professional army personally for the crown. Raising professional soldiers to maintain garrisons and patrol borderlands can work because they are acting defensively and get to actively play to their strengths. Having them march and occupy foreign territory is incredibly dangerous no matter how long they have previously occupied it. This is the reason the professional legions of rome always had such issues dealing with their borders. They were occupying foreign territories where they didn’t have armies suited to occupy such areas for significant amounts of time. The only reprieve to this is when Rome forcefully shortened their borders to utilize as much defensive terrain as possible and allowed them to play to their inherent strengths.
Now you are moving the goalpost: firts it was that trade agreements and diplomatic unions werent medieval, and now that they only happen as a result of an internal or external threat, ignoring that the story I just described was an standard inheritance procedure across the early and high middle ages based upon gothic law. One done precisely to avoid civil conflict.
.
Do you even played the game? Where is the kantonian occupation army when we arrive to that jungle? Where are the kantonian castellans and knights holding strategic fortifications? Where is the kantonian governob asigned to rule the region? Dude, the jungle is literally more independent from Kanton than actual Ireland from England during the middle ages. The placed is guarded by native rangers, militias and a fucking nationalistic nobleman.
No, Kanton doesnt “hold” anything there, not truly.
They were able to defeat them which Kroridians and a few soldiers from Kanton, they aren’t at the peak of their power.
Sorry, but they doing it before is a proof that they can do it. He said it would be impossible, the story says it isn’t.
So they were never conquered before?I wonder why they have Sobik as a King if he had no control ovet them. If they are so independent, why even ask for independence?
I didn’t say there wasnt trade agreements, I said there wasn’t one born out of a country become independent without a fight. And your example only held because they needed to unite against muslims, the scenario isn’t the same here.
They were able to beat them after multiple years of a bloody war of attrition to which Krorid and Kanton won thanks solely to their home advantage of being within a jungle which prevented the biggest strength of the Erisians. The only reason they won was because of the idiocy and incompetence of whoever led the campaign. Have Erisia invade through Reicster which probably is more flatland than jungle and see how useful the soldiers of kanton and the jungle rangers are.
We don’t know that Kanton conquered Krorid. The initial implementation of rule or vassalization of the kingdom could have been done based upon an agreement of defense or numerous other things that we simply don’t know. The kroridians historically beat back the equivalent of the romans in this setting (The Ravarians). The only reason Kanton likely was able to establish rule of Krorid is because of a diplomatic agreement of such, or because whoever was ruling at the time was the most incompetent ruler in history and refused any military advice and wanted to larp having a capable land army made from troops more suited to attrition warfare.
I hate this game!! Seriously, it’s awesome, but I am getting irate playing it because nothing I see to do works. And the code gives me a damned headache, trying to figure out damage and how to get to the 70% to win.
Has anyone done a walkthrough on how to get a victory instead of having your ass handed to you or ending up dead? Is there any way to do it as a weapons expert (my MC’s preferred skill)? I’ll rework her, if necessary, but the weapons skill is fun irony, since she’s the shortest of the short…
Going to go try tactics and see if that works. Sick of losing…
I have a quadruple (Total Victory, Victory, Decisive Blow, Total Loyalty) guide (and will put up a “dirty quintuple”—aforementioned four but with Warrior Queen). It is for a tactics playthrough
BlindSwift has an awesome quintuple guide (Total Victory, Atiming River Massacre, Victory, Decisive Blow, Total Loyalty).
0Meletti has a guide for Weapons/Leadership Marshals to get Total Victory and Victory.
I can see it being easier to get are dishonor states revoked if we stay loyal to are sister then if we betray are sister also even if we are no longer dishonored we are still a bastard who has no claim to the throne
Bacondoneright sine the is crusades in this world dose that mean there is holy knight orders
She can legitimize us and say that we are next in line for the crown if she dies without children (“issue” would be more correct, but “dies without issue” can mean two different things lol) and can call ourselves Prince(ss) (since Kanton gives all legitimate royal children the title of Prince(ss)). I don’t know if she will do so in ITUO (it’s speculation), but it’s definitely very plausible since she’s willing to write to the Holy Father and inquire about (and if possible, start) the rehonoring process if the Marshal wishes even if it undermines her claim to the throne (especially true for M!Marshal) even at high Envy.
true but that is only if we are loyal to are sister since it would require her power of the crown to legitimize us which I can see in the second book if we stay loyal to her. thou in other new I am happy this game and ck3 and banner lord can keep me occupied since i fractured my leg during army training
