That's A trap.

Hmm. If it was a trap, then weren't the Kuti pretty much destroyed given that that's their mostly-full raiding force? Or do you mean 'trap' as in 'this may target an important part of our army, and while we were routed, we can still fight'?

Also horse archers, historically, may not (differing in cultures) have as strong bows as foot archers given the difference of a war bow and the 'common' (hunting) bow that was lighter and easier to wield But that's a lot of context in need of a timeline. To nudge a bit of that last choice of 'horse archer attack' versus 'fortify!'.

I would really love for our culture to commit to horse archer focus, for land armies though :3 I mean even if we're focused on naval warfare, it'd be a nice thing to see how it'll mesh in worldbuilding!

A seems better than B anyway. We're not aiming to 'kill them all', moreso 'drive them off our land and probably capture a few for interrogation'...although it seems moreso 'SACRIFICES FOR OUR RELIGION AND SLAVES!'. o_o

You order the troops to follow after the Kuti, but without catching up with them.

Few days later your scouts bring news; the Kuti returned to the boats and, after boarding the ships, are sailing down the coast to the city of Qire!

Your commanders curse a wasted opportunity to crush the raiding force. A messenger is dispatched ahead of your Army to the city of Qire to tell its garrison to prepare for an attack.

Few days later, as you approach the city of Qire, a messenger arrives; the Kuti has been driven off and were seen sailing westwards toward their home lands, but several ships and many houses at the docks were burnt by the raiders who did manage to land in the city. It took few hours to drive them off.

Your commanders believe it is time to return to the capital.

A) Aye, nothing else can be done.
B) Vengeance must be had! Prepare the troops to march around the bay and strike into Kuti's northlands!!

Curses! Such are the rewards of caution. We have learnt here that the Kuti do not simply retreat, but must be crushed utterly.
Nevertheless, we should not be so foolish as to march into their homelands unprepared. Perhaps in future we can mount an expedition into their lands to repay them, but not today.

Now its A good time to think about a coast guard.

You conclude the campaign and take your troops home.


Congratulations! Wyndarn has completed a military campaign.


Some people praise you for your efforts, and the Sahk clergy praises you for following the ancient customs of war sacrifices and enslavement of captives.

522 DC, Autumn

Speaking of captives; the Slaver's Guild is having an abundance of slaves and little large buyers lately, so they have just offered the Crown a deal at about half the usual price to replenish your troops with healthy, strong males.

A) Splendid! Cheap fighting force is the best fighting force!
B) We shouldn't take up every easy deal we come across, that's a bad buying habit there.
