How old are we?
The initial, 'tailored' king always starts at 20, so by now he is about 30? ;v
You eagerly decide to lead the armies of Methiant against the vile Lametanian dogs!
Congratulations! Yoe embarks on a military campaign!
1086 AD, Midsummer
A less than month later, your Army enters the territories once belonging to Methiant.
For a week, you continue unopposed, except maybe few scout and skirmisher groups that are easily driven away or outright defeated by your horsemen. Local mayors and village elders, most of them still indigenous Methiantese, don't protest too much about the change in their taxmasters.
Finally, you reach the Lamas Keep; a small fortress which stands guard by the road leading toward Lametanian capital. It is perched on a hill and there are only two real routes of climb towards it. Your scouts and agents have estimated that about 400 men could comfortably garrison it, but they weren't able to discern whether the keep does in fact has a full garrison nowadays.
Your officers convene with you, and after a while one of them speaks up: "My liege, we have almost four thousand men and the Blackhearts at our disposal. What shall we do about the Lamas Keep?"
A) "Lay siege to it with some men, while the continues on to Lametanian capital!"
B) "Lay waste to it to give Lametanians the taste of Blackheart's fearsome power!"
C) "We shall take a longer route to evade the keep and march to the capital!"
