If I invade a neighboring king and take a duchy from him, will the vassals I acquire hate me for going to war with their former liege?

I'm thoroughly frustrated with the AI and battles in this. My allies keep leaving sieges to charge headlong into 5:1 odds or bailing right before a fight. There's still no attach army option, right? Also, the enemy can just pop up a 6k stack in front of my advancing army even when their military strength on declaring war was <1k. I'm now looking at a Scotland that holds parts of 3 duchies and has raised at least 16,000 troops, each time directly in front of my army as it travels. What am I missing here? It seems like the early game is better and more fleshed out than CK2 and being a part of a dynasty feels more like a thing, but the combat is much, much worse. Any tips?

The AI often has tons of cash it will use to buy mercs. You should check for that too before declaring war.

Given that every count with one crumbling tower and two drunken archers at its top has enough money to raise several thousands mercenaries, military strength measure is worse than useless. It's misleading.

MaA teleport nerf incoming, thank gently caress, and as a bonus PDS took the easy way out:Dallan Invictus posted:We already have the system that varies gather time based on the distance between where the troops are coming from and the rally point, we already have the system that delays regathers based on how far from those home provinces you were when you disbanded. All PDS should need to do is set the "home province" of MaAs to be the realm capital and make them subject to the rules that already exist.

quote:Men-at-Arms, Special Troops and Mercenaries now have travel time and, like Levies, have a penalty to disband/re-raise during wars. Travel time is based on the distance to the realm capital. This should effectively stop being able to ‘teleport’ MaA across the map. That's a step in a good direction and should also prevent every OPM count from teleporting in a throng of mercenaries just before your army. I don't think, however, it's good enough. Currently there is no reason not to use mercenaries. They're much better than levies and come with no drawback (as opposed to CK2, where unpaid mercenary troops would gently caress off or even attack you). The same goes for holy orders which nearly everyone can afford, which makes the human player unable to recruit them, as every time they become available, another AI ruler nabs them. I think hiring mercenaries should work more like hiring knights – you announce that you need them and they either come to you, or not. Actually getting someone would require having enough money to spare and possibly outbidding competition, not to mention being in range of an appropriate wandering mercenary company or monastic order. This should prevent a situation where some count in the middle of Siberia insta-teleports 5000 heavy cavalry to help his 20 slingers and 10 guys with sharpened sticks repel an army of 20 conscripted peasants, 5 guard dogs and a really mean goose.

This post got me thinking that it'd be neat for prestige or other factors to impact hiring mercenaries. Or have the base military strength values interact with mercs somehow? I'm sure how to work it into game balance but seems like mercs would be more willing to come fight for a king who's looking to pay someone to steamroll a lovely count, than to come be the ones who get steamrolled in that situation.

In my experience Surprise Mercenaries haven't been nearly that common, the price honestly does kinda deter OPMs. Surprise Allies, on the other hand, sure, and I agree that holy orders are probably too cheap (and there are less of them accessible in any given region than mercs, to boot). But I continue to believe that if you attack someone who has a spare marriageable relative or enough gold/piety to hire mercs or a holy order for three years in reserve without accounting for this in your planning (which may include simply attacking someone else, waiting until they spend or lose those resources, or proactively removing those resources yourself), you kinda deserve to eat 5,000 heavy cavalry in the face. quote:I think hiring mercenaries should work more like hiring knights – you announce that you need them and they either come to you, or not. Actually getting someone would require having enough money to spare and possibly outbidding competition, not to mention being in range of an appropriate wandering mercenary company or monastic order. I don't hate the idea of making mercs more dynamic like this, kinda like Imperator mercs to the extent I've played that game, but to me the core problem is that AI are so rarely a proactive threat to a player that players look at systems like emergency mercs and emergency alliances not as "resources both me and an AI can save up to take advantage of in a pinch" but "things that make my life specifically harder than it should be".

The problem is that the game actively misleads you, giving you a stat that should tell you how strong your enemy and their current allies are, before springing surprise 5,000 heavy cavalry on you. It doesn't even tell you what happened, you just see them getting soldiers they have no right to have, going by what the game just shown you. Looking for suspicious unmarried daughters and piles of gold in the treasury is something you learn the hard way, after repeatedly losing an easy war for some podunk county and getting immediately gangbanged by your neighbors. Being on the other side on the surprise alliance is also inconvenient. I learned not to accept any marriage offer ever, because this inevitably meant getting immediately called to three different wars waged in the middle of Russia.

Gantolandon posted:The problem is that the game actively misleads you, giving you a stat that should tell you how strong your enemy and their current allies are The key word there is current, though? Another 1.3 addition is "a notification when your current enemy forms a new alliance", which I guess will help (in addition to the current "notification when your enemy hires a holy order" and "notification when your enemy's allies join". Is there a "your enemy has hired mercenaries?" notification?), but not including a "situations reported are subject to change" clause on every tooltip is not "actively misleading" the user, and a Paradox game where the AI countries can never act to change the force balance once you've committed yourself based on your unrealistically good information is doomed to be a boring steamroll. quote:Being on the other side on the surprise alliance is also inconvenient. I learned not to accept any marriage offer ever, because this inevitably meant getting immediately called to three different wars waged in the middle of Russia. I have literally never gotten a marriage offer from the AI, please tell me what I'm doing wrong, I have so many surplus relatives who refuse to leave and I can't get rid of. (that said, I don't know why they reverted from "marriages make NAPs and you have to choose an alliance" which was their fix to that problem in CK2 and worked pretty well!)
