No, I think I'll invade Denmark though.

Elerian wrote:What country are you?

England

I really haven't a clue what to call my nation, though, guys. Empire of the North sounds weird and I can't call it england because then it's like ooh it's England's empire not the nation of people all descended from the same people blahbkablah etc etc etc so yes

Keep it as the Angevin Empire. That's what it's technically called, but everybody keeps saying England.

Eh? Why do you say that? There's only been a bit of conquest in some minor regions.

Also, Valentir, did you really just post 15:1 battle casualties and invade Greater Poland thriugh a ten mile wide front without any sieges? :blink:

Yeah, the rules were rather strange. Such as the Romans only able to have 35k troops. But thats the past.

Well, kinda, but "not many" casualties in the pre-gunpowder age meant you only lost half as many men as the enemy. Man for man with predominantly melee weapons it is very hard to establish a quality ratio that allow you to fight a force larger than yours, except in strange circumstances.

The Hot Gates were a circumstance. Outflanking is a circumstance too, but not nearly as large of an extenuating one. Medieval combat is hand-to-hand, even with technology and force multipliers.
