I'm a new player too and could use some clarification on a few issues. I'm currently in Book2/3 and at war with the Saxons and the Welsh rebels after doing The Pact. I think I'm going to start over though - I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. Here are my questions:
1. Unit Morality in stacks. I've read that your morale is penalized if you have units of different morality in the same stack. So, if I understand correctly, the base units have no morality, so they can be used with any units. The units with morality are Seelie, Unseelie, Rightful, and Tyrant, right? What about Giants. I have some level 10 giants in a stack with Sentinals and Golden Gryphons (who are rightful) - will I be penalized for this? Also, how does culture affect this - does using Welsh culure units (Welsh bowman) count as a morality in terms of stack penalty?
2. I'm getting quests popping up in East and West Mercia (some of the DLC artifact challenge battles). I'm not allied or at war with them. It seems the only way to access these quests is to go to war with them. Does this mean that I should have taken them out earlier before getting into the Welsh/Saxon conflicts?
3. With 3 stacks (3 Knights each), it seems to be too much to deal with Welsh rebels (was given Norgales, but no way to defend it), Saxon war, and ghost/Samhain armies all at once. I'm really enjoying certain aspects of the game, but really wish there was less battle spam. Feels like I'm just spinning my wheels putting out fires without being able to actually make any progress.
4. Does anyone know of a good website with walkthrough and quest help? I can't seem to find one.
Thanks in advance for any tips/help/feedback!
