I have attacked a nearby province several times and have had to retreat each time. This last attack I went in with 450 men cavalry, pikemen, etc and got my arse handed to me. Any suggestions? This is frustrating, especially with what looked like an overwhelming force on my part.

What did the enemy have? You may want to recruit some calvary, more expensive units generally fight better than cheaper units and some units are better at fighting certain units than others.

I attacked a vilage tha's ruled by a player...
I sent this trops:
200 Knights
my heir (40 men)
5 trebuchet
100 Royal cavalry
8 Battering rams
125 Foot knights
8 ballista
5 mangonel

my trops are fighting but I don't have kills or deaths!!!!!!!

What can I do? continueing the fight or retreat my trops?
Another question:
When I sent archers to atack, I lost them... all of them in the firts report. it is normal?

Hi, I got tired of trying several diferent troops witch is suposed to do well against others, but all get kllied. I dont know if this a flaw in DAW, or what, but as there are a lack of a REAL manual, I just make my army of Royal Calvary and Templar Knights and they DO the job. Problem is, they cost a lot, but it seems the only way to advance here.
Just my 2 cents....

Ok!!!! i am back agian folks........
what do i send in with my siege weapons ect.....???????

[Ulrich]

I have same problem. My outstanding numbers and even quality got beaten and beaten time after time. Plus then my army dissapered at all thou last report indicated that there were more than a hundred survivours. This happened when other player spawned in province my army was fighting rebels.

Game lack army formations, I would never send archer fron agains cavalary and so on.
And about history, crossbowmen were shooting 6 times slower than archers, so phrace increased fire rate is wrong in crossbowmen description.

Yes, this is true. Historically, and actually, crossbowmen fired at a much slower rate than archers. The only real advantage to crossbowmen was the fact that they could be fully-trained in a much shorter time than an archer. Armour penetration was essentially the same between an arrow shot from a longbow and a quarrel shot from a crossbow, although crossbows had maybe slightly better armour penetration than lesser bows.

I think the way to fix this is game terms is to make crossbowmen train faster than longbowmen and/or make longbowmen a little more expensive than crossbowmen (than they already are).

here the same,I try many time I clear 1 villlage of nonactive player,so I learn the Royal heir dont conquer the villlage whit out enemy troops in the villlage?!?! this is strange,any way I try 1 rebel villlage end I make a good attack army+ the royal heir, I lose 90% of the troops end the royal heir dont fight the battle the XP still on 0 WHY?!
end the pillage is ridiculous Looted:7 iron 5 stone 8 wood what I do whit this?!
nothing cost more to heal the troops after the battle,end look well the report,
end the: Crossbowmen / Longbowmen are kill whit out make same damage to the enemy ?!
end only archers kill the Swordsmen?! is strange not to have sword against sword
I think the value of the fight must be level in my opinion
