Battle for Yenwood Field : when to fight it?

[mrmike_49]

What level should I be (lvl 7 now). How do I get more help with my army? Also, why can't I travel to White Marsh? I see it on my map, but can't get to it

I did pay the $10,000, and do have 8/8 troops at the keep

Wait as long as possible while gathering further allies, since there is no time limit. There are several allies to acquire also within The White March areas.

With regard to the expansion, tell a bit more. Perhaps show a screenshot of your quest journal screen and the world map. You learn about the expansion areas around level 4-5 through a letter sent to you via Caed Nua's stewart. Theoretically, you can visit two different expansion areas at that time: The village of Stalwart and Crägholdt. The former is where the story of the expansion starts, and depending on chosen difficulty mode, it is a better idea to go there around level 6-8. The latter is a combat heavy high-level bonus area.

Good to know there is no time pressure (kinda silly though, but good!)

I can travel to Cragholdt - but NOT get thru it: that is the place where there are 2 EXTREMELY TOUGH soldiers from the "Torn Bannermen" , and they kept getting healed somehow, and I could NOT kill them

I can see White Marsh on map, but clicking on it just gives me the flashing arrows on edge of screen that indicate a location I can't get to. I have Durgan's Battery quest

So, I am guessing that I need to get thru Craighold to get to Stalwart Village??

Then you're affected by some strange bug I'm not familiar with. Is it still reproducible after verifying your local installation files using the Steam app?

No. Crägholdt as per the Crägholdt Bluffs quest is some combat heavy high-level bonus content.

I got stuck in a save one time where it was literally impossible, and I overwrote all my saves trying to get the perfect setup lol. I had to console command the fight to death

Check your level. I was not able to get through there until my party was around level 12-13 (I'm a role-player, not a power-gamer, so I'm not looking for the ultimate build. I'm playing a role. My rep scores are much more important to me), and then I was resting every 2 encounters, or after each, in some cases. I couldn't kill the lich, but I didn't try that hard. I decided to go do other things, then come back.
