>>6005035So Ivan... I say this with nothing but oog good intentions, but that looks fucking retarded.
That is WAY too much territory to try to successfully hold. Even if that's the end goal, it's still an enormous investment of resources.
I'd say that you should try to start out a bit smaller, or compact the developed territory into single areas at a time.
Here's an example of what I mean. The region in purple is significantly more manageable to work with. It has the rivers as natural barriers, along with the hills and forest. If you focus on only establishing a loose chain of towns along the east river, then a few horse archers with 5 movement would be able to safely patrol back and forth along the area and keep it safe. Once that's been secured and stabilized after several interim's, then maaaaaaaybe move on to the rest of the Wheatlands.
Like, I'll contribute and support the cause either way, but for your own sake, be practical
