Started playing this again since I picked up some more DLC in the summer sale.
Trying a game as the Norse again, and I'm having the same issue I had before in some games. I can't figure out what causes it, but my troops are losing numbers FAST as if they're suffering from attrition on land that is showing 0% attrition.
Like I put a stack of 7500 men on Brugge to raid it and by the time the county was done raiding I was down to 1800 men. There were a couple events coming up about losing troops, but that only cost me about 1000 men. The other 4700 just died, losing a bunch every couple days as if I was sitting on a bad attrition area. It's making raiding extremely difficult, the only way I can do it is to spread out small stacks across a big area and just expect to lose everyone since even a stack of 500 men will dwindle down to ~350 or so just in the time it takes to get some loot from one county.
Anyone else ever have this? I just can't figure out what's causing it.
Dont put your full stack on a province, split them up so you can double up on looting, you dont really need to fully siege provinces either, just get the undefended loot, also dont raid tribals, as their land is trash.
