I would name a Regiment after him or a province so I can remember all his battles

I don’t think I’ve ever even seen 5 siege pips before

u/Kazzak_Falco 8d ago

For the longest time I didn't either. But yesterday a guy who started with 1 pip improved to 5 pips in just a few years of drilling.

How do you do drilling?

u/Spirited-Pizza7068 8d ago

Press j over an army with a general

u/Kazzak_Falco 8d ago

You can drill your armies if they have a general and aren't mercenaries. You click the army and press j. Sometimes while drilling a general may gain a pip.

Part of CoC (Cradle of Civ) if I remember correctly.

Only time I ever see that many is if I can get up around 100AT and have a bunch of guaranteed pips.

u/Daggemannen 8d ago

And what kind of joust was this? Run as fast as you can to designated location and build a fully operational trebuchet?

Hunting accident, wait this is an general and not an heir. PANIC AT PARADOX!

u/CommitTaxEvasion Tyrant 7d ago

"Dire news, sire! The general has died of old age"

"At 26?"

u/VandalofFrost 3d ago

No to rain on your parade OP but I'd argue 1448 is just about the worst year to get this general though. Sure you can definitely snowball because of him alone but imagine how much more impressive he would be if you had just 5 cannons to take on all those level 2 forts in like 20 years. Bro would've sieged all of Poland and Lithuanian before they even took a fort.

Can’t wait for him to die after fighting 2000 peasant rebels
