Sweet chocolate Christ!  Is it possible to kill the fucking idiot raiders that constantly attack me as Poland?  They cannot be touched, as they avoid every single fight and simply province  hop around my armies I send to attack them.  I can't apparently set up any kind of patrolling fleets, nor can I simply wipe out the retard one province minor pagan in Sweeden who keeps sending them.  I am:  not pleased. :mad:

For the most part I just ignore them. I've found a lot of the time the AI is pretty dreadful at using them and it is rare that they actually send enough to successfully pillage a province*.

Also, best way I've found to fight them is to send troops in and then catch them by raising troops in the province. If you time it right, the troops you sent in will make it in before the morale of the freshly raised troops.

*in fact more annoying is when you'll get a raider that's stuck on alternating between fleeing and pillaging, so you get non-stop notifications about them pillaging your province.

Conquer all of Scandinavia, force convert the fuckers and that will stop.  Or ignore them as Garbon said.

That is a job for the retinue in peacetime. A couple of cavalry ones will do the trick. It is needless time wasting though.

I have yet to figure out how to re-fill my retinue. It keeps telling me I'm at max retinue, reinforcements are set to max, but they're still at 0. :(

Look on the retinue screen and there are 3 buttons I believe that show a bar that is full, one that is half empty and one that is empty.  Those are in charge of maintenance for retinues so if you want them to fully recruit, you got pick the max maintenance one.

I'm pretty sure I have that (because I found those buttons), but I will verify once I'm home. :unsure:

Ok, I'm too stupid for retinues. This is the screen in my current game. It says I have a cap of 198. I can't recruit new ones (says cap is reached). Reinforcement is set to max. I've had up to 1200 gold in cash over the past 150 years, so lack of money can't be the problem, either. :(

Perhaps you need to reinstall Legacy of Rome?

The cap is reached because those retinues require at least a cap of several hundred to muster. Are your lands crap? How do you have such a low cap?

That might be. I'm a Jarl in South Norway.

Yeah Sol's right. You can't raise a retinue if you've only a cap of 198. If you look to the right, the retinue choices to the right need 500.

You need to hover over the retinue choices on the right to see how much retinue cap they actually need.

Latest patch seems to have added Mali and the Arabian peninsula to the map. :hmm:
