    *A couple notes for this video - I was about 60 hours into the campaign at this point in only 4 days, so my voice was shot and my temper was flaring a bit. This specific battle took over 2 hours to complete and I ended up editing out 20+ clips of foul language/complaining lol but I kept some in so you could see the struggle. This is the full battle and how it ACTUALLY went down. I reloaded and fought it a second time to get the win, although I don't consider this savescumming because the game bugged out. I'll be editing the full campaign into a single heavily edited video soon and will post the link here and in the description once it's done!

      i feel these types of fights. though ill admit its on a lower difficulty and with some mods. still nothing worse than just joining a kingdom and getting the castle or city in the worst spot and you get 4 factions running at your town with 10000 troops non stop. and yeah as you discovered if you leave the battle from outside the settlement its a retreat lol. but if you try manually its a surrender its a nice little cheese still since ill play prevent defense on the outside sometimes.

    You get so much experience in engineering from killing enemies with siege equipment. On my current playthrough I found that out when I went in (assaulting) sent my troops to the rear and started picking people off with ballista. After 5 minutes I leveled up and noticed in my combat log engineering skill has reached level 70 (it was like 1 or 2 to start the battle). So I retreated, put my focus point into engineering went back out and by the end of the battle my engineering skill was higher than my engineer. So now I'm my own engineer and my old engineer is governing the town I took.

    There should be an increasing morale penalty for each kill a unit (including the player) does. So the first kill doesn't do much, the 10th one costs some morale for the enemy, the 100th kill makes half the army retreat and if Strat is playing the enemies just kill themselfes by default.

    • @Strat-Guides
      @Strat-Guides  Рік тому +12

      Yeah that's a really good idea. It does seem linear and is offset by enemy deaths, so it doesn't really do anything until the battle starts to snowball - the point where morale is irrelevant anyways lol

    • @frantisekvrana3902
      @frantisekvrana3902 11 місяців тому +5

      Doesn't need to be increasing, just make it inherently unstable.
      It should be:
      You gain morale equal to the tier of each unit your side kills.
      You lose morale equal to twice the tier of each unit you lose.
      And lastly, army morale should not increase with it's size.
      That way, if both sides were killing roughly equal amount of unit tiers, a large battle would turn into a rout before either side lost majority of troops, while a small skirmish might be to the last man.

    That's some maneuvers that I can't perform. I love the siege defense, especially ambush mission because I have "family planning". Perhaps it's dev oversight your companions and family have unlimited arrow outside the wall and melee units won't engage you outside of destroyed siege machine range. I used this to max level up their athletic & bow skill.

    I think that if any of their lords had the perk that gives them back 30 - 40% hp after a battle (don't quote me on this) and if you don't have enough hp or units to either attack or send in the units to fight, you automatically lose. I could be very wrong but it's just an idea.
