I'm having serious troubles even invading the province of Finland. I was able to gather about 750 troops against their 350 so I though that hey, this is easy. WELL, while I was marching there, they suddenly had an army of 500 men appearing from <somewhere>. I was still able to beat them, but they kept attacking me over and over again. When I had finally killed them all, I had about 200 men left and the siege was still on (it was on yellow). And what happened next? They had ANOTHER 500 men army appearing in the provine of Finland! I was able to win that fight too, however they had well over 450 men left after that, and they now keep attacking me. As I'm writing this I have 88 men left against their 400. So basically it will soon all be over. And now Satakunta declared war on me.

Did this not happen to you? How did you solve it?
Edit: Oh my god, I was on a brink of destruction - 43 men left in the "army" sieging Finland, and the province of Tavasts under siege from Satakunta. However, an event came which allowed me to conclude a white peace with Satakunta. And more importantly, I FINALLY had more troops appearing in a province of mine (Tavasts). Now I have about 380 troops sieging Finland, so it might actually turn out good. The siege is still on yellow though, it seems as it's not advancing at all. We'll see.
Edit 2: Tribe of Ingers and Tribe of Kajanborg declared war on me out of nowhere. I have an honorable reputation. Why are they doing this? Is it because they are pagans? I now have 1500 troops sieging Tavasts and about 500 sieging Nyland. Life is good. My own army's strength is at about 300. All that can save me now are events that allow me to conclude white peace with those two tribes.
Edit 3: Finland just had another 500 troops appear in the province of Finland. Together with their other army they crushed my siege. Game over.
Seriously, did these things not happen to you? How did you manage them? I need some advice.
