Time for a perisno story~

>Be me, M&Ber fresh out from Perisno v0.772
>Be not me, Perisno v0.9
>Am fully aware that the difficulty curve in 0.9 is much harder than in 0.77
>Change all damage to lowest settings, disable music so fps doesn't drop
>Set Zann invasion date to day 1000
>Start as Human on an island in the far north.
>Do everything possible on starting village that I can find
>Talk to elder dude, chose honorable option, lose armor
>Start in Maccavia, hunt outlaws and rebels to replace old armor
>Buy slightly better armor.
>Decide to always be as close to Aethling Svafar as possible
>Join Valahir as a Mercenary
>Raise tiny army
>Realize the formations mod isn't included in Perisno anymore
>facepalm.jpeg
>Get dragged into full scale war with Reich des Drachen
>Spend most of my time in Valahir fighting off Volheere raiders
>Join battles to turn the tide against the Reich
>Almost s*** self when seeing Wyvern Dragoners for the first time
>Maccavia wars Reich and Valahir
>ohs***.jpeg
>Spend the next 250 days amassing an army of 130-ish Valahir, fighting for Valahir, becoming Valahir vassal, the whole kit and kaboodle
>Survive several wars against the Reich and the Maccavia, and one weird war against the Sut, helping the Valahir conquer 3 castles and taking one all by myself (it was lightly defended)
>Slowly realize that every castle has 400+ defenders, every town has 800+ defenders, I can never conquer one on my own... this sucks
>Get fed up with not progressing well, decide to strike out on my own
>Revoke vassalship, take rogue Jarl quest beforehand
>Decide to join Cretas Monarchy in order to make sure they don't get gobbled up by the Reich
>During all of this, Tolrania has been getting its a** kicked by the Elves and Maccavians, and the Hakkon Empire has lost Amarna to the Falconese, and has lost most of its territory to the Drahara
>Dwarves have lost two castles during all of this, I begin to realize that autocalc battles are wonky as heck
>Spend the next 40+ days trying to help Cretas win a war against the Sut (nobody wins, and its on pause forever)
>Tolrania ceases to exist, most of their lords join the Elves, a few join the Maccavians
>Hakkon Empire is reduced to 3 castles, Draharans and Falcons have successfully kicked Hakkon a**
>Have high relation with King Aolas
>Try to convince Aolas to declare war on the Hakkon Empire, claiming that they are weakened, in a war, and it is the right time to attack
>Succeed, go to war against the Hakkon Empire
>Take 1 castle, Draharans take everything else
>During all of this, the Valahir have lost the 3 castles they took, and lost Grund to the Reich, and a castle to Maccavia
>Wtf.jpeg
>Hakkon ceases to exist, most lords join Drahara, but 3 or 4 join Cretas Monarchy
>Smile happily as I realize we have more friends
>Smile less when I realize that 2 major factions have been destroyed, war between the Elintor and Maccavia has broken out, Reich took Grund from the Maccavians, and the Draharans are dominating the entirety of the vast desert lands. 1/3 of the way to the Zann Invasion, mentally consider moving the invasion date to maybe 60 days from current day just to shake things up
>Read up on quests I apparently never knew existed
>Decide to make new campaign by starting out as a freelancer in the hakkon lands
>Be wary of bulls*** since the last campaign didn't exactly go as planned.
