ok 71st turn on my irish brittania campaign! Brilliant!
first off i start with a few cities and my capital cork, the english invader hold 4 cities including dublin!  Unfortunatly in the first few turns rebels take two of the settlemants  (including dublin) which is good as i have a bad army. I purchace one city as its cheap and start devoloping armies. Within the next few turns i take 1 english settlement, and in another few turns i take the next city, only dublin left, but they have a superior army (ulster swordsmen ) so i bide my time. By this time i have mad alliances with scotland, norway and wales.
Finally i build a few decent siege weapons and a few quick mercanaries. Then the attack. It took a while but eventually i took dublin. i had taken huge losses (irish units dont really have armor )
Then i get a mission to take the isle of wisley , eventually i take it from the rebels, but this has made me very close to the scots and norway. Eventually i have to choose who to stay friends with and who to kill! i chose to attack scotland as i didnt fancy dieing to the vikings  . Almost a few turns later, the english side with the scots! Two huge armies take towards my settlement while the english navy (huge) blocks my ports and sends fuedal knights to my capital. The welsh and Norwegian forces are nowhere to be seen and its starting to look a bit gloomy.
Keep a look out as part two is on the way.

Terror across the water:
In the next turn The Scots attack The Isle of Isley as the english sai ever closer to my shores, i send my ships out to meet them, i am aided as some norwegian ships are sailing around. Most of the english ships hold horses and armoured sergeants . I recruit some Ulster swordsmen at Dublin and at Downspatrick. I also notice i have a princess, with no other choice to marry i look around. I cannot leave the island so i only have one option, her cousin . Dnt ask
End Turn:
Midway though the english turn the ships attack. with our forces and the norwegian ships outnumbered 4 to 1 we certainly have no chance. Obviously we are defeated with my forces ending up with 4 ships and the norwegians only have one! Luckily the english loose 5 ships, but it isnt enough. The ships advance and kill our last remaining ships, but they loose one. There force is down to 11 ships. but most emportantly there forces have been majorly damaged. My city (isle of Wisley) is down too 3 turns untill surrender and the only support is two hobigurs (horses) from my castle across the water, all is not well.
End Turn:
The english move is a slightly surprising one. Because of the huge losses they decide that they will live to fight another day, well not entirley. English being english, they couldnt just go home, no! There was a small island nearby (scottish) and the ships deploy there, they attack, there alliance with it. With the horses close enough to attack, my forces counter at the isle of Wisley. We have loads of scottish pikemen (which i can recruit there) and my cunning tactics work a charm. I have my archers fire at the siege equipment as the two horse units run to an enevitable end. The scotts notice and turn around B). The whole scottish army(bar 1 unit of highlanders using a battering ram) run to meet the horses. Unfortunatly the horses run into spearmen and well that was the end of them but! My whole army run out and attack the highlanders. We face no resistance as the stupid scots forget to drop the siege weapon. We massacre them and charge toward the enamy who are facing the wrong way! the scottish horses turn but run straight into the pikemen. With the horses finished (including general) we charge against the wiery scottish. Tired and demoralised the scotts run with there tails between there legs. Our general and archers unit pick off some of the straggling scottish, and capture a few more, earning a nice hefty randson. The scottish flee the island with what units they have left. One thing is for certain, the scotts wont be coming back for a while!!!!
Stay tuned

I know that, but I must say that the Britain Islands are the most difficult part to conquer...because it is in the beggining of the campaign, and France is difficult to conquer too...
Try not to make small armies, its better to concentrate forces in one city (e.g. York) and then one or two more squads fro Nottingham or London to make that armies with full flag color...

ok because i want to catch up with my game i will just do a quick summery of the major events.
-Scotland attacked my isle of islay, out numbered i held out, and when push came to shove i drove them out.
-I got a mission to take carlisle (english settlement) for the return of the barons alliance. I firstly needed a stronghold in england so i took dumfires (scottish city). From there i could only make the basic units, so i made 2 (the most i could) and with my remaining forces attacked the city. To my surprise there was one unit in the town and they surrendered. From there i handed the city over to the barons alliance, and recieved 3000
-the next turn they were besieged, so with my two units of peasants i helped them drive back the english forces
- a few turns later i made peace with the treacherous english
-later on i recieve a mesage to take the scottishe fortress on an islands name that i forgot. Problem is that my money was low and the city had the scottish king in it, so it wasnt going to be easy. I had my two nearest citiesmake as many units as they could and then get into the boat to sail to the island
when i arrived i besieged the city. I emmediatly noticed the big pile of scottish units to my east. I decided to assault the city with my only other option being to wait and be attacked. My forces started to besiege the castle as the main bulk of my army went east to confront the scottish. The ballistas were attacking on the walls as the big force began. The main line of my army charged against the scottish nobles. Easily overmatched my tactics had to work. I only had two units of cavalry so one of them confronted the generals bodygaurd and the other crashed into a unit of highland nobles. The nobles quickly routed allowing me to gain the upper hand on the right flank. In a few seconds the right flank were disintergrated. The bloodied scots ran as the winning units crashed into there general. My general was killed but more importantly so was theres. Unfortunatly i was too busy focusing on the main fight when i noticed my ballistas had stopped firing. they had been attacked. against stronger opposition they stood no chance, and before the main bulk of my army could reach them they were dead. Overwhelmed with rage i sent my whole army crashing down on one scottish unit allowing none to live! unfortunatly i had no way of getting into the castle so i lived to fight another day. In the next few turns both me and the scots recruited more men, but with limited funds i could only make the cheapist men. Outnumbered and overmatched my men fell. I tried a third time but i was pushed back and the last remaining med died. since then the mission has run out and i failed to take the city. But i WILL be back!

I've been playing the series since Shogun. Unfortunately the series lack a lot of AI, something specially appaling in Rome Total War. All of a sudden, they turn to the kiddies and make the graphics the most important feature of the game. I stopped playing Rome some years ago because I gave a go at it again several months because of Europa Barbarorum, currently the best mod for Rome Total War. I didn't even bothered with Medieval II. |
