My army usually has between 50 to 150 men depending on what I'm doing at the time. In the castle I'm collecting a rag-tag group of bandits that are more expendable as a defense to fend off invasions or helping me fight against large bandit armies.

The town I am collecting army regulars as I train them up into cavalry or heavy infantry for any future invasion armies. If I stay in the town or castle I pull as many of them into my army as possible for the night and train them. I trained a bunch of the recruits into missile troops, and have 200 stationed in my town and about 150 in my castle as the main guard, along with 100 fresh recruits as fodder or for training in each. My town has 450+ troops, and the castle 300+. My lands are basically the landing point for any invasions against the faction on the south side, so I need good defenses. I've built up a decent force to defend my land, hunting down bandits and raiders and adding freed prisoners to my army, plus I take trips around to the local villages to recruit troops. The Ui Neill and Mumain don't have an official alliance, but we might as well. Mumain moved across and took the Gwynedd and Dyfedd regions, and we've got a good war going teaming up with them against the remnants of Dyfedd, Dumnonia, and some other factions in the Wales side of the British Isles. The Ui Neill moved across to southern Scotland and took Alt Clut and some of Rheged. The west side is completely dominated by the Mumain, and I've helped cement a good alliance with them by marrying a daughter of one of their lords, and the Ui Neill are on good terms with everyone with a stake in Ireland at this time. The Ui Neill have most of the east side of Ireland, save for one holdout town for Airgialla, and two castles the Fortriu took from them after taking control of most of Scotland. They originally awarded me a castle over in Wales that the Dumnonia took from me and then proceeded to come over and invaded to take the town and castle I have now, and my taking them back are how I was awarded them.


I'm now a lord for the Ui Neill clan (I originally started with the Ulaid, but they were defeated early on), and have the town, castle and a village on the SE side of Ireland in the old Laigin region. So, update on my current Brytenwalda campaign. Hey, I love this game! Always happy to help!įound a good map for Brytenwalda showing the starting areas for the different factions:
