While sieging in the campaign map, go to the lord again and suggest to him that he should attack the walls - wait around for a bit, if he needs a bit more time.Īfter you told the lord to attack the walls, join in the battle. This is extremely beneficial, as you will not need to worry about wasting 60+ hours around Dhirim all by yourself while swadians gather the army to face you. When the lord starts sieging the fortress, it ALWAYS takes around 8 hours for him to get his preparations ready - regardless of your engineering skill and the necessity of building siege towers. Step 2: Building a siege tower faster than Artimenner can ever dream of It’s important that you follow him and help him fight against any armies that appear - otherwise you will get a relation penalty for sending him to his doom.

Regardless of how difficult it is to take the fortress, the lord will gallop there and lay a siege. Step 1: May I suggest a course of action?Īpproach a lord of your faction - preferably one with a big a*s army laying around, and that doesn’t hate you - and tell him about a “fortress that can be easily taken”.


The strategy is simple: telling a lord to siege a fortress/castle, letting him start the fight and then help him win, and finally sending him to one of your cities to get his prisoners. It works against all factions and probably on mods too. This guide is meant to help the player conquer as many castles/cities as possible with the minimal amount of recruiting.
