I just got my second city, in outremer. And one guy pretty close. Decided to raid it. Since it was probaly his farm. But he only had one city and no allies. So I didnt care. After he raided my new city I sent about a quarter of my army to his city with about 50 carts. Killed all his troops and raided him. I kept my troops in the city. To keep killing his men. Untill he sent a message about truce. But by this time my allies finally decided to respond to my message. And are destroying him now. So I am at my city, while he is being destroyed. But all it took was one easy battle. I think I lost like 5 people while he lost a lot. Now hes being dominated.
