How to invade islands? (Rhodes)

[Haakon]

Ok, I have finally managed to obtain continetal domination
But I'm unable to invade a single Island.




Rhodes is the last stand of Venice, but because its a small island that has limited space, I cant land many armies, I have to settle with one or two that will get slaughetered by the many stacks of venice armies.

What the....what can I do?

Holy **** What Mod are you playing?? This is the first time I see something like this. IMO I think you will have to attack their stacks one by one Huh... Maybe more

[Pink Beard]

get a general with a nightfighter trait and kill them one by one (u can also get ur 3 or so stacks all with night fighter traits so basically your doing 3 vs 1 all the time... and on one day the island is venetian-free again

I'm playing the Medieval II - Kingdoms Grand Campaign Mod.

attacking one stack at a time is impossible becaus I cant only land 2 or maybe 3 stacks max, that have to fight against sevral stacks with enemies that has max armour and sword guild add ons.

Don't you have generals with the Nightfighter trait? That should make things a lot easier.

Can't Norway recruit serpentines? Those monsers rape big packs of Italians, like Rebel does to the rep system (couldn't help it, I'm sorry love you anyway).

lol
nightfighters with serpentines would be a good combination

I've used some serpentines. but venice have advantage of numbers. Usually they have 3 times as many soldiers as I have.


I once managed to get 3 stacks on the island. and I decided to play the battle. I had 3000+ soldiers against venice's 3000+ soldiers. It was slightly laggy until the enemies army started routing running all over the place. then my computer frooze. I got a fairly powerful computer. (XPS730)

another options ofcourse could be using cheats (in a way u dont have any advantage). perhaps moving some stacks to a temporary place somewhere in the desert. then fight your battle (now with more space on the island) and after you won u put back the stacks where they belong (then fight again, win and the island is yours). this should be moraly acceptable... c'mon. how real is it? "no sorry captain u can't come on this island. we're already here and our camps need atleast 1000 acres of land to stay on"

Ah no way

I havent used cheats so far, and I know that if I first cheat once, I will cheat again and again and again and again. :hmmm:

I have butchered my way this far, no way I'm going to finish my domination by using cheats. At the moments I'm recruiting assasins from assasins guild and I'm going to try to assasinate as many as I can. It wont do any good to sabotage the castle, because its their capital.

Still, Ill figure something out. (maybe I'll try to recruit an elephant mercenary army)

Just wait for the bankrupt faction to wither away in rebellion. At some point the remaining units will have to quell the rebels as stacks rebel due to no cash for upkeep. Patience has its rewards.

Do this this smartest way might be slow but hey.
If ya want the fast way we'll umm i got a couple of nukes you can have.

[Pink Beard]

it's not going to work. the ai (just like you you know) can have massive stacks even with a huge debt. put a loyal general on them and ur practically save!

btw: i saw a [in a mod] a nation with 2 castles and 1 city (i think maybe worth 3000 a turn altogether) and yet they had 5 1/2 stack of troops and i was like WTF!!

Not in Vanila (well Refit Mod) on vh/vh. I see stacks that go rebel from bankrupt AI factions all the time. I count on it as a matter of fact if I am about to attack a bankrupt faction. For example: England vs. Scotland.

I would be interested in the mod you saw this in and if there are some issues such as King's purses and free upkeep in castles, etc. Also, how long did you observe the issue of large stacks and no cash? It affects the rebel random chance and is not automatic. (I think)

it was in the "Thera, A new beginning" mod. great mod i must add! it was the Gaelic faction. and i am sure it had nothing to do with upkeep because they had 1 or 2 units in their cities/castle and the 5 stacks led by captains just outside.

oh btw i doubt the ai thinks like this but the gaelics put al their stacks among the border and the next turn they blitzed the island! they conquered 2 cities in 1 turn and a 3th city is under siege! wow.

or maby you could try and divert the stacks away from the citadel and attack it directly to wipe them out by cutting them off by placing a fort down after your diversion and sneeking a stack in to assault the fort.
judt by looking at the pic there is enough space to land a few stacks right near the citadel just take some artty with you.
bish,bash,bosh...done

I don't think that he can land there but if he didn't try it then this could be a good idea but the only thing is that all of theses armies will turn Rebel so he will have to wipe them out anyway
