I more or less declared war on the  Kingdom of Asturias  straightaway (what else is that starting army gonna do, sit in the base?), making rams to destroy the camp between my two bases so they can reinforce each other. After snagging the first relic  Zaragoza  attacked my Castle with a huge army and trebs, so I hastened back and tried to buy time to reach the Imperial Age. I cleaned their wave up, and got ready the FOBs to punish them, but  Asturias started another attack on my rear.

What followed was messy AI raids all over the place (I never walled up), but I realized there is a crazy metric ton of stone on the map, and random gold spots everywhere, so I began putting down Castles everywhere, and creeping forward with more Castles.  Zaragoza died, unable to deal with Cavaliers and Champions while also taking Castle fire. Had to pay attention to stray rams or trebs the whole game so that Castles stay up.

I decided to make  Asturias pay for their raids, so I prised all their bases open (they put up a very good fight). I didn't make any Camel Archers despite all the castles, because all my wood was going into Trebs, and sometimes I lost all my Trebs to damn huskarls. Instead I persevered with Cavaliers and Champions, both ideal units for keeping a Castle up.

 Asturias finally surrendered (they have so many bases), and then  Narbonne  was almost an afterthought, since they gave up instantly after destroying their castle.
