Ouch. I attacked some wolves after my scout found only 4 of them. I sent 15 armed peasants. 10 of these were killed by wolves, while the wolves only lost 1 with 2 others heavily damaged to below 30%. The 5 surviving peasants made a beeline into the wolf cave, and I won the battle and gained honor. The wolves are still on the map. If the peasants hadn't made a dash into the cave, I would have lost. The main problem was that the peasants mostly ignored the wolves until attacked or they were directly adjacent. Since wolves are apparently several times stronger than a guy with a pointy stick, they were more or less devoured.

peasants are meat shields. I suggest getting archers as soon as possible. Meanwhile, since it seems you are in a low level parish, which means few wolves per lair... just keep spawning peasants. they cost you nothing, if you have a market to keep a steady supply of gold.

This flag spawning system is bullshit, pure bullshit, can't fucking know when its gonna spawn so you have to basically stay awake till it spawns or  much hand it off to the flag-farmers.

Edit: Sorry, tired and cranky.

My parish leader keeps "influencing elections", presumably a monk ability. On the other hand, I've stockpiled enough votes to make myself steward, but I really don't want to. Yet.

Yes it is a monk ability.... I always wanted to make a 100% religion city. Wonder if that would work.

I read somewhere its possible to get enough Faith Points /day to perma-intercept attacks. Not sure though. Spending a few RP to get my Theology up every so often myself.

Having fun so far... currently I'm a Thane in the Winchelsea province in East Sussex. My name's Peripheral. I just managed to start getting a modest amount of bowmen, but am still mostly focused on bettering my economy.

I'm similar to that, except Commoner 1st Grade in Middle Wales, village of Pontardulais(I looked up my location on Google Earth, and that RL town is right there or pretty close).

Yes I live in surrey in real life and when I spawned in Surrey my town was in the right sort of area as one I know. (sadly even though it was free at the time I did not spawn in my home town)  :D
