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.

in about 4 hours you see the final tower is done, and you see Lord Delinard leave the keep for the first time.
the towers start moving 30 minutes later, and by now it's dusk, with the sun at the Rhodok's backs it's harder to see them. As well as their crossbowmen start firing long before they get into range from the militia's hunting crossbows

"SHIELDS UP! HEADS DOWN!" I take cover behind the wall, the shield on my head. I'll poke my head up, shield over my brow, as not to catch a crossbow to the face.

hundreds of slow crossbow bolts come at you, they start hitting the shields with a slow, but powerful dull thuds, you see a few bolts heats almost get through the entire shield, that's how strong their Xbows are.

I'll have the Footmen surround the ladder while the Militia and Men-At-Arms form a shield wall to protect the Militia. If the arrows still cause casualties the men will pull back to the wall.
