I’m barely back to where I was

I started off well, got hit with tech layoffs and never managed to get a super tech role again. Now I’m on the customer side at tech companies so it’s at least a nice balance.

Currently job hunting and talking to a company with a range of 110-145k. Not the best situation (lots of travel to very very very rural areas) but the pay is good and when I’m in the city it’s a hybrid schedule.

Working in three side gigs now (tutoring, video editing and uploading, oyster shucking).

Just sucks that after 4 years of working I’m basically at the same place.

What wet food brands do you recommend?

I have two cats that will eat anything. I am trying to find them a long-term wet food to incorporate in their daily diet. At the moment, they have an automatic feeder that dispenses multiple small servings of dry food, however, I want to make sure they get more liquid in their diet.

What brands do you recommend? overall they are very healthy. The older one has some UTI issues however it’s been a few years since they had any issues so they don’t need anything special.

Thank you for any advice. Price is not a budget as this will only be a small portion of their daily meal.

Should I just start executing the Khuzits?

I am the leader of the battanians and right now it’s us and the Khuzits (there’s maybe three Sturgian castles left) and right now we are playing tug of war over the same 5 castles and cities.

We have nearly 15k more men and have about 18 clans under my banner. Should I start executing the enemy to weaken them or will my clan betray me/leave? What is rhe worst that can happen

This is my furthest through yet in sandbox

Note I’m not playing any mods

What do you use for your army?

Obviously it will depend on where you start and what culture you pick but what cultures do you like to use in your army?

My initial invading army is battanian archers, empire footmen/valandian footmen and valandian cavalry. Then as I progress in my enemies lands I pick up local troops. Once the war is over I keep whatever troops I like from the new culture and donate the rest.

What happens prisoners you don’t take in?

I always wondered what happened after the battle if you chose not to take the prisoners in. Do they become deserters, free to go back to their normal life or are they all put to the sword?

There’s no negative trait that is associated with leaving them but then again it’s not like they can just regroup with their team and I never see deserters form right there after a battle

What a game.

I’m playing sandbox and I joined the battanians in the hopes of conquering the upper section of Valandia, leaving, and starting my own independent faction with valandia and battania essentially crippled.

I married calladog’s daughter early to build relations with the king. I figured I might get more cities and castles if I married into the family.

Minutes before I’m about to leave my people and drive my knife deep into their backs, the sturgians killed calladog. With no suitable male heirs (they are all soyboys) and the chieftains appointed me king. Here I sit on a throne of the empire I planned to betray.

The empire and sturgians kept whittling each other down as I crushed Valandia and took their Calvary in. Slowly adapting a stronger Blitzkrieg tactic compared to my original snapping turtle formation. My lands grown stronger and my enemies hardly dare enter my lands.

Then I pushed North. With a superior force I pelted my enemies with arrows and horsemen until their shield broke and I saw the trail of red follow them to their castles. After what they did to my father in law I let them starve. Sure they would try and relieve the forces inside the castle but my enemies were far to weak to put out the hatred in my heart. Once the snow demons of the north, they are nothing more than a buffer zone to the great khans of the east.

At this time the southern empire and the Aseari have destroyed the western empire, while the southern and khans removed the false king of the northern empire from his throne.

Now I sit here, nearly 30,000 strong, with the best archers, Calvary and heavy infantry in the game. All my enemies will cower before me, all will taste my boots. I have been slowly pushing east. Making them pay for each and every village they burn down.

Then I got permadeathed messing around fighting 1200 enemies against my party of 300.

Worst game I ever played, 10/10 gonna go do a horse archer play through now.
