The lowest relationship you can have is -100 and executing someone is going to drag you down somewhere along the lines of -75. One thing to gain out of this analysis is this: Go big or go home. Lords who were friends will also hate you as well, even if they are part of different factions. Having that negative relationship can mean that some notables will never allow you to recruit their troops. Before killing a lord, remember that their clan will absolutely despise you along with their friends which may include notables in villages and towns. However, one must consider the downsides in the social category. It means one less roving army to raid your lands and join enemy armies. A question is why/if you should do it?ДЇrom a strategic/tactical point of view, killing them grants you an advantage. When you capture lords from a larger faction there is an opportunity to kill them. Note: Do not underestimate partyвЂ™s strength. Not only have you just stopped that army from doing anything productive, but have also dealt large amounts of damage to their retinues which you can capitalize on. Now this is where you must identify which parties have taken the most losses and then hunt them down.

This will happen until the army inevitably disbands into the multiple lord parties. The enemy army will start losing dozens of men to starvation every day they do not have food. Hovering over the army will let you see that there are wounded members in their parties. Lead them on a wild goose chase and after a few days, you may notice that their numbers will start to drop. You must then move away, but maintain a distance that is close enough that they do not stop aggroing on you. Village prices are the same as their connected towns but they do not raise or lower the prices due to demand (AKA the less there is of something in a town, the more expensive it is to buy and sell).ДЄnd thatвЂ™s the only two things you need to know, once you have confirmed that you have a good amount of food, and are faster than the army you may start the plan.ДЇirst you must try and aggro the enemy army by inching towards them until they start chasing you. Tip: Buy food at villages in order to save money. If you are actively fighting other factions it means that you should be making a decent amount of money by now and maybe have a couple of fiefs, so there is no excuse not to stock up on lots of food.

How much food do you have? Do not make the same mistake the AI does.

Try to aim at least 0.2 faster to give yourself breathing room for rough terrain.

How fast is the enemy party? Make sure that you have a higher base movement speed than they do.

So in order to use this to your advantage you must first identify a large enemy army and confirm a couple of things: Usually it does not become a problem for them when in singular parties, but in large armies it does. This is the main thing that the AI does that I exploit. For some reason the AI, doesnвЂ™t stock up on food even when they have ample money and resources. If you have formed faction armies or joined them, you have probably noticed that in terms of food, there isnвЂ™t a whole lot to go around. In the end, you still have to fight battles but at a much lower danger to yourself and your party. In terms of quality, try to at least aim for tier two units with minimal recruits. Generally speaking you do want more infantry than ranged and more ranged than cavalry however. These tactics do not require an specific comp or units.
