Well, since i dont have to take peace until I want, all I need to do is split my army into killer teams that can take out your siege teams and eliminate your military power with minimal casualties and then take all the time I want in sieging those areas back and sieging your areas.

And, if you spent most of your time on siege tech and my forces are superior in some of the key techs (Early: longspear, chain1, light xbow, pike, warhammer, make your pick), my killer group can easily be a lot smaller than your siege group. For example, aforementioned Chain 1 doubles defence and thus survivability of the 4 most importnant melee troops.

I really like this thread and it has been very informative, I don't want to give the impression that I don't ever fight. I just find it funny when in MP someone attacks me with their hard researched for lvl3 plate and I just dont fight them and take amll their provinces.

I think your strategy might work ok if MP wasn't in real time...i can be amzingly hard to pin someone down when they have there armies flittering around like caffinated hummingbirds,and besides the window between which you have chain 1 through research and I don't have it through diffusion is only about 20 years...I am not usually going on massive war mongering until much much later

You dont play with the pause allowed? All paradox games handle pause pretty well. Besides, even if the game is on very fast and no pausing, 'cos my troops move faster than you siege, I can always just let you siege some and concentrate on taking the troops out. Troops come back so slowly, that if I at some moment have only 1 non-sieged province and you have no troops left, i have won the war. This gets complicated with vassals, but if you take a vassal from me I always get a claim on the province.

And if the window of me having a chain mail but you not having it is 20 years, thats when I hit...
 
As far as I have researched into Upkeep, not in combat.txt, but in real game-play (I don't know how to say).
The results turned out as followings.

Code: 
Upkeep
K:3, LI:2 P:1, HI:1, A:1, LI:1

Why? :confused:
