GUIDE · BATTLE STRATEGY
Otto loyalty-first Italian defense
This scenario combines expansion with vassal management. A conquest that weakens the German dukes can leave the realm politically fragile even if the army wins. Balance Italian ambitions against threats at home, and prioritize actions that secure routes or reinforce loyalty before opening another front. (Otto, scouting, establo, ataque, Reliquias, Magiares)
Resumen
This scenario combines expansion with vassal management. A conquest that weakens the German dukes can leave the realm politically fragile even if the army wins. Balance Italian ambitions against threats at home, and prioritize actions that secure routes or reinforce loyalty before opening another front. (Otto, scouting, establo, ataque, Reliquias, Magiares)
Plan and execution
Assess the vassal network and identify which routes or regions are most exposed. Secure the home territory and maintain enough force to deter disloyalty, then expand toward Italia from a connected staging area. Respond to external threats with focused operations, using nearby vassal support where available. After each territorial gain, stabilize the región and restore the defensive reserve before moving on. (Italia, comida, madera, oro, piedra, Mercado, Acuartelar, Reliquias, establo, diplomacia)
Risks and adaptation
Opening several fronts can drain the army and make vassals vulnerable to pressure. Do not assume that a recently captured región will defend itself, and avoid leaving the German core without a reserve. If loyalty begins to weaken, pause expansion, reinforce the threatened territory, and restore political support before resuming the Italian campaign.
