Haven discussion.

Your crossbowmen will be quickly neutralized by vampires.

Tell me – how does this happen? (To be clearer – the usual arrangement is: crossbowmen in the corner, next to them are adepts, above them are militia and spearmen; next to this "box" are paladins).

And knights, divided into 2 stacks, are easy prey.

Are those the same vampires? ;) - I'll explain: there will be a lot of cavalry (without diplomatic help, of course), and 2 squads of 40 will cause a stir.
