This is Caldaria, a land ravaged by wars between the 5 great nations: The Nords: Unparalleled infantry with heavy chain armor, and large axes for fighting and throwing. The kings and lords are hot headed and traditional
The Vaegirs: The balanced peoples, the kings cool headed and a variety of troops excelling at horsemanship and light infantries.
Kingdom of Swadia: Heavy Cavalry oriented with reliable heavy infantry, their lords and kings are very cautious, being in the center of the continent
Khergit Khanate: Born in the saddle, and die in the saddle, these people hail from the steppes, they excel in horsemanship, and their leaders are master hit and run tacticians, prolonged engagements are the bane of their existence
The Rhodoks: They're the best at killing horses with their spears and men with their crossbows, they are perfect for defending areas and will do it with their lives, not surprisingly their kings are the same
These kingdoms have fought for centuries. They are in desperate need of nobles and vassals to help raise armies for their constant state of warring.
This game will include a lot of talking, debating, etc. and not be all action so be prepared for it.

"Wood?" I chuckle, slowly growing into a full-blown cackle. "Oh, that's hilarious. Okay, guess we'll have to make do. Get three quarters of the militia and all of the footmen ready to throw the wood at the Rhodoks. Then, find some torches. We're going to burn them to a crisp!"

Ja, but it can still catch fire. Good thing you caught that.
If I brought cavalry the other lords should have too. So, in case of prolonged seige, they probably would've brought natural grain food, like grass or hay so the horses wouldn't become malnourished during deployment or die in the castle stables. The men will grab these materials, throwing them directly after the wood.

you're in the keep, not the stables, also wood doesn't work like tar works, big logs like you have take a while to catch fire, and burn slowly, so unless the rhodoks are on a spit with a nice apple in their mouths, probably not gonna work as well...or at all

Well, if I was going to use tar I would've turned the Rhodoks into Human statues. But it seems we don't have the material needed to burn the Rhodoks. I'll return to the other guy. "Unfortunately, I don't have the materials required to turn the Rhodoks into ash. I'll keep my word. You can start the attack. I'll have to stand back. My sword arm's wounded. Take my men. I'll stand back and watch. I'll come up and issue orders if needed."

"Good." he jumps up and starts yelling
"ALRIGHT YOU SCUM GET IN A TIGHT FORMATION RIGHT HERE!" he points to a small area formed in the center passageway from the door
"ALL YOU LOUTS WITH CROSSBOWS HERE!" he points then to two railed areas that slightly overlook the entrance
after a few tense minutes he walks up to the doors, unbars them and throws them open
"YOU *******S WANNA FIGHT?! WELL YOU GOT ONE!" and hops over one of the rails to a side area. you see the rhodoks, slightly surprised start to rush the keep

I'll watch how the battle unfolds. I'll jump in if I see that I may be needed.
