William the Conqueror may be one of the most sociopathic maniacs in French history, but the French love him: he is that one Frenchman sorta, retroactively, by modern standards who succeeded in conquering England.
The map of William the Conqueror is divided into 33 domains covering all of Northern France, Flanders included. You would think that as a Frenchman I would know the name of those domains, but you need to consider that I am a Parisian, so this is all Province to me. All actions in the game require you to type the first letters of the name of the location you want to interact with, and calling the list above is the only way to see the complete list, so I created this helper to quickly navigate the game:.
This was luck and not design, but I was also blessed by a donation from Henry I of France, no-strings-attached, at the end of I started with no army in , but with this donation I could field men in ! In William The Conqueror, battles are all-or-nothing. An army fully destroys another without any losses on its side if its number is superior by at least men, else no one dies!
It is therefore trivially easy for me to quell the two starting rebellions with my men. This means I can teleport my troops where I need them the most! My own army is pristine, and I launch the final mop-up with an army that soon soars to 20 men. The investiture was void and William has to occupy Champagne to make things right. Edward the Confessor has died, and back in or so he had made William his heir to the Kingdom of England. You, and certainly not Harold, the son of Godwin, the current Earl of Wessex.
So, well, time to Conquer. I had started in the mids to build a significant fleet, but it was not large enough yet in After a few more years building ships and quelling rebellions, I finally depart in I have fulfilled my destiny! But I still have quite a few years to live, which are going to be spent waiting for the 4 remaining French domains not under my control to stop their rebellions so I can properly invade them.
