Re: Stupid questions...
Attack his capitol. Usually you only need to beat his 25 point province defence. No matter how many troops he has there you might not need to fight them. They will all run inside.
Crank his taxes to 200% and get what you can while his army rushes back to save the castle. If you can hold it long enough to drive the unrest over 100% then even if he gets it back he wont be able to recruit, get crummy taxes, and declining population until he fixes the unrest.
When you see his army coming, pull out leaving a small force there. Attack a neighbor province. When he gets to the castle attack him again forcing everyone inside. Dont plan to take the castle, just plan on holding the province and milk it dry. Taxes, blood slaves, pillaging, etc.
This doesnt ALWAYS work but its a tactic. Dont spend anyone on the castle project that you would hate to lose. It should at least give you time to develope other strategies.
