B, A
We have only 3 army at last check.
BUT, we will have the help of Dahnia, won't we?
Surely we can defeat them with that.

BA.

Said the Sheep Duke as the King sheared him.

You do what you were made to do.

You go for a WAR!


Congratulations! Grand Duke Estwalf embarks on joint military campaign with King Tinwulf II of Dahnia!

The Advisor and Estwalf's wife will take care of politics in the meanwhile.


You arrive at the border between Eist and the Duchy a week later. A thousand of Dahnian foot and half that of horsemen arrive, led by an envoy. This brings the total numbers of the Army under your command to slightly over 4500.

The envoy explains that your orders are to keep the Eist southern garrisons busy, as there's lots of the zealots in the lands they conquered in recent years. Whether you keep'em busy by laying siege to the cities or by waging skirmish after skirmish on the open field, it is up to you.

A) What we're waiting for then? Time to snatch some city-states for ourselves!
B) Let's just make a ruckus at the border and glare ominously at the Eistians, they might get too scared to move.
C) We will march right into the occupied territories and challenge any and all Eist units who get in our way!

[NUKE9.13]

Well then. I'm afraid of losing too many soldiers, but I guess we have royal orders to cause trouble, which inevitably means losing troops. And if we are going to be losing troops, we may as well gain something for our troubles.

You decide to go besiege and try to obtain some cities for yourself.

Few days later the scouts and officers compile a report; there are three city-states that were once independent and neither of them are particularily loyal to Eist, but their garrisons are strong and walls high. They're all within few days' march of each other and were once populous cities of Luathbas.

There is one another further southeas: the city of Tagar. It is a rich city with only a minor Eist presence, but going there would expose your rear and flanks to all three garrisons from the other cities mentioned. After a counsel with some of your veterans, you decide to...

A) Besiege the closest city and then try with the other ones nearby as well.
B) Besiege the city of Tagar that is far away, despite difficulties it might bring.
C) Change your plans and roam the countryside, causing mayhem and engaging any hostile forces.

B. The two cities which might flank us are not particularly loyal to Eist, so hopefully they leave well enough alone. If they do flank us, we will have done our job and distracted the local garrisons. No risk, no reward.

[Prophet]

A Never expose your rear to possible enemies.

I would love B, but that's not a kind of capital where if we win it the others will succumb. And let's start risky stuff when our kid get's old.
A maybe we can even win that by envoys. we aren't wise or charismatic but the RNGeesus can convince the citizens to revolt or they to backstab Eist. If not, we will have to fight then anyway. Crush one city, and send a letter to the next city saying "Join us? or wanna blood in the fields?"
