An important cathedral
town in the
east of Eng-
land, control is gained
by whichever Faction
gains
the allegiance of
the Bishop.
Capacity of Castles, Towns & Cities
The only other restriction on enter-
ing Castles, Towns or Cities is that the
Capacity of the place must not be
exceeded by the Troop Strength of the
visitors. Different places have different
capacities:

If an army’s Troop Strength is too
great to enter the Town or Castle, the
army must be split up to allow a por-
tion to enter. The remainder are left
outside.
Combining/Dividing Armies
Nobles and Armies of the same Fac-
tion can be combined by moving one
onto the other during the Movement
Phase. The forces combine automati-
cally.
To divide an army, double-click the
Left Mouse Button on its shield. You
are shown a list of the Nobles and
Royal Heirs in that army. Select those
you wish to stay together by clicking on
their name with the Left Mouse But-
ton, then click on the Combine button.
Then hit the Proceed button, and play
continues. This is, in effect, a simpler
version of the Build Faction routine,
allowing you to “allocate” Nobles to dif-
ferent Armies.
Enemv Armies
Enemy forces pose no hindrance to
movement. If an Army ends its move-
ment in the same area as an enemy
army, a message explains that you are
skirmishing with the opposing force.
You are given the option to attack in
the Combat Phase.
