Re: Suggestions?
Caelum likes to drop "call of the winds". If you are seeing this then I would raise defense from 7-11 in any important provinces. Instead of trying to protect everything look for important choke-points you need to hold.
You are fire, they are cold. Keep the dominion pumping strong.
Marignon usually has no money problems (if you havent discovered the hoy of converting fire gems into gold then definetly try it). So you can afford to enter caelum territory again and NOT plan to hold onto provinces. Turn the taxes to 200 percent, pillage, gather blood slaves, and keep going until that army is completely used up. Mercs can be good for that. Unrest over 100 cant produce troops so you procude troops in every one of those provinces until the unrest stops you. Even if Caelum gets the provinces back you will have made things hard on them. They will have to patrol awhile to get anything from those provinces.
If you can get an army into the province with a castle then hold it. Use that province to the max as laid out in the previous paragraph. Taking the province does at least as much damage to them as actually taking the castle. Dont be in such a rush to get inside that you lose the province.
