I leveled up! I hope I'm using my skills properly. He should probably have as big a sword as he can get, and if not, a mace.

I suspect you've never tried doing many illegal things yet in your game. The second the CCS knows you're "active", they'll come down on you like the hammer of God.

You sure? Units without shield tend to die rather quickly.

Give him a horse. If you have a good cavalry force, you should be able to smash the enemies, and then fight the horde until your infantry arrives, backed up by the archers.

Not a tactic I'd use, but a tactic.

Yeah, I guess shield, and the biggest sword he can have with a shield. Or mace. Mace and shield work no?

For now, I think we should bide our time. One castle is no big deal. But we'll remember. And we'll wait.

Obviously the king must die for this slight. But not yet. Accept this deal for now...

Renounce your oath. Castles are pretty easy to defend, even if the attacking army outnumbers yours by many times. Hopefully, you will be able to gather enough power to carve out a nice chunk of territory by yourself.

Thief:"Quiet kitty, Qui-"
Cat:"THIEF! Protect the hoard from the skulking filth!"
The resulting party killed 20 dwarves, crippled 2 more and the remaining 9 managed to get along and have a nice party.

You are seriously doing it wrong. Two words: Vaegir Sharpshooters. These bitches are the best at castle defence. Until you have a serious number of high-level ranged infantry, don't try to take the king's army.

IIRC, Nords have pathetic ranged infantry. They would, however, be able to march a heap of epic melee units down to where the enemies spawn. This would only work if you outnumber abd outmatch them, and if you do, expect casualties.  If you can, avoid fighting Rhodok if you're the Nords. Recruit Vaegir guys. I normally have a mix of factions in my army.

900 denars is pretty petty, but I say take the offer, then once you have an elite group capture another castle and renounce your oath.

We're NORDS. Put it to a poll and we're nords not vaegirs.

I accept the decision, then make my way down to Wercheg. I find it being besieged by 410 swadians. I manage to get past the blockade and enter Wercheg, where I win a tournament.

The Swadians flee before even attacking.

I forget, but can't you just screw over some Vaegir villages and then hire the peasants, thus being able to EVENTUALLY get Vaegir Sharpshooters.
