Hmmmm, it's seems we are running low on some units...

Okay, so here is my plan.

The archers shall attack the Sardinians from the captured zones. Using that distraction, the heavy axemen and the axe throwers shall crash against the soldiers, who will be disorganized by the arrows.

Meanwhile have the atgeir wielders defense our entrances (and maybe help the first wave if things go south.) We shall keep the infantry and housecarls in the captured zones, and loot the armoury for anything useful.

+1 shouldn’t the first part be bolted too?

((OOC: The reason for the schedule slip this time's plainly forgetting about the game, + slightly depressive and shitty mood.))

"(6 vs 3)(3 vs 2-2, demoralized) The Norse archers have took a high vantage by climbing the inner yard walls and shooting at the Sardinians in the outer yard. The archers have managed to inflict a lot of damage to the Sardinian levy, and then the melee troops of the Norsemen pour into outer yard and mercilessly slaughter the remaining Sardinians."

"(4)(6) The battle is over, and so the Vikings plunder the castle for some food and count Garibaldi's personal wealth stash. After that, they open the armory and find (1) that the building has some crossbow traps in it, and (2) a few of the troops get hit in the vital areas and die. The armory itself doesn't even have any weapons in it, probably meaning that every weapon was took by the now-dead garrison."


Looting time! +60 food, +155 gold. You've literally slaughtered everyone, so you don't get to have any prisoners. -2 axe throwers, -1 heavy axeman.

There's bound to be a map of the area in the castle that we can use to plot our next pillaging, after we look at a map we should go loot a small village and take some prisoners.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

"(4) You find a map of the Sardinia in the count's keep, and while you already have a map of Sardinia, you've decided that it's not a bad thing to have a supplementary one. The Vikings then proceed to heal their wounds at the keep before going any further raids."

It's afternoon. The troops have recovered from their wounds.

Update/Small note: I've forgotten that you have gave away the 310 prisoners back in Denmark, so you actually have 55 prisoners now.

"(2)(6 vs 3) The Vikings venture off the castle and towards a small village. Turns out, there's a sizable Sardinian patrol coming through it, so the Norsemen engage them in combat and quickly shatter them. (2)(2)(4+1 for patrol prisoners) The Norsemen then proceed to loot and burn the village, seizing small amount of valuables and food, and also capturing almost every villager and patrol member who didn't resist or flee."

+10 food and gold, +30 prisoners.

How about leave a small garrison at the castle and find a larger city to raid?

Need more food and we still have room for a lot more prisoners.

We can always retreat back to the castle and then the ships if a large force appears, and even a small amount of troops should be able to hold the castle for a while.
