Fortunately he only lost the heavy inf before the enemy army surrendered.

In the north
Turn 600 Peasants into 60 Yeomen. Pay tithe in crowns. Trade 3 food for 2.55 Gold. Recruit another unit of light cavalry and 1 unit of crossbowmen. Attack another independent Baron.
Baron Magnolia promotes 60 families to traders, then uses the market. She then raises more troops to the army and marches said army to the north. Her army outnumbers the enemy almost 2 to 1, her army wipes them out with very few casualties(-0.34 troops for reinforcements). 860 pop captured(80P/556Y/220K/4N) After all is said and done she dips just barely into the negatives for gold so her army gives her a bit of leeway(.03 is like paying half the cost of a single archer man)

Will sell stuff for gold.
Raise 5 archers and 1 light infantry
Attack independent viscount
(BTW, is there an infinite amount of land to be grabbed? I feel like our empire is acting super aggressive and there should be some sort of coalition brewing to oppose us)

On the northern end of the empire
The Red Baron doubles his army and decides to march on a viscount in the north. His archers outnumber the enemy alone and wipe most of the enemy up with a couple enemy archers surrendering. He does lose a light inf and a bit of another unit of light inf(-1 l inf, -0.14 troops for reinforcement). 2250 pop captured(564P/1432Y/190K/64N)

Notes:
Pay Tithe in Crowns
Conquer eastern independent land
Turn 30 K into 30 Y
Baron Gloria demotes 30 knights to yeomen then sends her cav army to the east. The enemy outnumbered her force 2 to 1 and her cav retreated after losing a cav unit(-1 l cav, -1.5 troops to reinforcements).
Results: +35.4 peasants, +30.7 yeomen, -26 knights, +2.5 nobles, -1.35 food, -2.25 gold, +0.1 troops, +1.82 crowns
Once again everyone in the empire gets a crown, and can change their tithe if they wish(last turn of tithing). The market ran out of gold and so someone sold troops to the market to bring it back up.
Current Trade:
1 food for 0.8 gold(8 available)
1 gold for 2 food or 1 crowns or 0.35 troops(0.45 available)
1 crown for 1.9 gold(5.6 available)
1 troop for 3 gold(1 available)
If multiple people try to out buy something there is a chance for both people to be screwed, so if the market can’t handle your added order wait or try to negotiate with the others.
Sorry this is late. If there are any error or question let me know.
Also the battle system is changing as I do not like how it is currently(it is a little tedious even at baron stage(1)).
