in medieval times you are a general for hire, a mercenary who commands the troops to protect or defend, mainly castles, and do it for money you will face off against each other (PVP or solo however you choose) for money and fame



here is the sheet

Coat of arms: what design does your men's armor wear and what design flag they bear (nothing stupid, something of the era)
Bio: at least an 8 sentence paragraph, optional

Honor: 100
Army size: 5000
Troops: Armed peasants: 2000 Spearmen: 3000
Upgrades: none
Money: 100000
Army status: good


now the only troops you have are the
Armed Peasants: poor people conscripted wielding nothing but a pitchfork, they work best as fodder and a distraction
and
Spearmen: wielding nothing but a long spear and padded cloth armor and a coif they aren't the best troops but can get the job done. also they aren't the brightest men


Now what you can spend with money is on more troops and upgrades for them

honor is used to unlock better units you get it from winning battles

you are started off easy, a local king wants you to destroy a small wooden fort controlled by a vengeful knight nothing about it's defending forces other than it's fairly weak and it's a simple wooden fort: square, four small towers, two rows of walls

you are at the edge of it a very flat and open land, you see few archers on the walls how will your troops advance?

your commissioned by a powerful king in a joint operation to kill his son, who took over a mid-sized castle and their troops against his father


when you arrive you see a large force of troops and a squire comes up to you on your horse "message from m'lord" you read it

"i shall lead my men to go against their troops and set up ladders you follow and take the straightest path towards him"


it's a large castle with oddly angled walls many archers (but they should get distracted) the part you were assigned to is a bit straighter and is only blocked by a wall courtyard with a small force and another wall that leads to the keep

5000 is a small number compared to how much you can have


you charge forward and about 500 peasants are cut down before reaching the wall and another 500 are killed breaching it. Now there is a hole in the wall and the garrison inside are there to defend in a circular formation. About 800 peasants, 1000 spearman and 500 macemen (armed with a mace and wooden shield and leather armor)


as well your spearmen find many lit torches on the stone armory (which is empty and is the only stone building in the compound)
