is it possible to complete this game solo?

[Coxy]

i enjoy playing games solo for the extra challenge, but is this game possible to complete just by yuorself? or do you need to get more people in your party / kingdom to progress through the game?

thank you for any help

[lubed_assassin]

um, its an army game. You could run around by youself and kill looters and do tournaments but then you would be missing out on the rest of the 80% of the game.

Yes with cheats and mods probably you can, vanilla however no, it's impossible.

I won't say it's impossible but it would be exceedingly difficult. Lords come together to form armies and I've seen them grow to over 1k troops. The most you can bring yourself late game is a bit over 200, and towns will have garrisons of ~350. The only way I could see it working solo is if you were very meticulous in attacking individual lords and then executing them when you capture them, and not going for territory until you'd cut down on the lordly population quite a bit.

Yes, it''s perfectly possible to play solo. you don't need companions in your party.

Solo is playing completely alone, if you're in someone else army then you're not solo since you have allies.

It's likely possible.

It's not likely you'll win the game that way, but you could likely survive for a very long time.

AFAIK, there's no way to "lose the game." So, eventually, given an infinite number of chances, the possibility of your winning a Solo campaign reaches very close to 1 pretty quickly. :)

bit over 300 actually, there are policies to boost your army size, it's good to be king

I solo played for a long long long time in my recent save until I decided to recruit some lords and hire mercenaries with the new update. Yes, it's possible and really profitable, but since you have to fight many kingdoms you will need to go full guerrila, divide and conquer, raid many places, and most of all have a full elite party since you will be fighting a lot... It takes some effort. With luck you can always attack one weak kingdom and take what you want and then propose peace.

I tried that, but after a lot of fighting and getting to -100 relation with half of the map, when I then killed one of their last nobles, their territories instantly fell to the nearest kingdom. So there was nothing to conquer. Very frustrating waste of 6+ game hours. And the safe was also burned by my actions.

Also, the diplomacy AI showed to be very not existent over the course of my conquest.

I think the OP is talking about a true "Solo" campaign as in having no other troops, no Companions, and being a "One Man Army." :)

i guess if you use your clans members as lords an be the only clan standing maybe but you will be out number kill every lord you come by to even stand a chances but piss off the other kingdoms an start a war with more then 1 kingdom do to it

You didn't solo play at all if you had elite troops. You still had your army around you...

Solo would be you and only you for the rest of the game. And that's not going to work.

But it would be a funny idea of a lonewolf laying siege to a castle...
