Best strategy to defeat shek kingdom?

[Mr.l]

I am allieď with HN, and i have "reactive world " mod active.
I wanted to beat down the sheks for phoenix king, but they are very strong in combat.

What is the best strategy to defeat them?

Also for immedesimation sake how did you became hostile towards them?
"You are dumbasses" does not seem a good causus belli to me.

burn in eternal fire you filthy holy nation dog.

hope that helps.

I was kinda thinking of having a firing squad with crossbows or even turrets that i could build and dismantle whenever i want.

If you're allied high enough with the HN (75, I think) talk to the Phoenix to get an item that will allow roaming squads to follow you... get a few squads escorting you then walk them to Admag and slowly whittle down the guards. Take their weapons as you fight them, rinse repeat until you have the town down. The HQ will be your hardest challenge due to the 5 invincibles.

Another good idea if you want to go for the crossbow route, is go to Mongrel and have your guys mount the turrets on the walls. They get free precision training like this, or you could simply have them stand in a row outside the gates and let them shoot at nearby Fogmen all day. You can also buy high tier crossbows at the Ranger Shop.

Train up stealth and assassination, knock out the stone golem, drop her in an acid pool. experience happiness!

There are many ways to do it.

KO a couple of beak things (bonus points if elder), drop them on/near seto, then watch them suicide into your turrets.
It works if you're only allied with the HN, but not yet at war with SK.
Else you can only get them as far as your stealth skill allows.

Or grab a couple of eagle crosses and nail them on their walls.

Stealth assassinate anyone you want.
Maybe even loot their weapon/armor and kill them after.

Just recruit more people and train up.

It certainly helps that a lot of them don't believe in stomach armor.

Thank you
I will consider all of this.
Turrets firing line didn't work by the way.
Inaccurate and do not deal enough damage.

Accuracy depends a lot of which you use and the skill of your dude got and the dmg only on the turret involved.
I'd say a high skilled with mk2 or double harpoons does a lot of dmg.

They either bypass the diplomatic status immunity which stops crossbows or mine spiked esata by accident (which i doubt).

According to the wiki a 6 barrel should do fine enough too. 6 shots, 50 pierce dmg.

You don't even really have to kill Esata to trigger a world state. If you can knock her out, snatch her and run back to blister hill and show her to Phoenix. I'm pretty sure that'll trigger the world state enough. That's provided you can get close enough to her to KO.

Kidnap Bayan first and she makes it a point to come to you if I recall correctly (albeit with an army in tow), he's easier to knock out as well.
