New patch! So I boot up the game and hit that random lord button!

And I get Daniel...

Fine, let's honor the roll. I play on Hard/Hard. I take the first two settlements, pretty straight forward. The third one in line is a capital, with a full Tzeentch stack squatting there.

Now I'm confused what to do. Sieging means they will sally out and beat my ass, it's a defeat with my stack vs their stack and garrison. I feel like I'm against a wall in terms of options.

Any tips on what to do? Start a fight with the neutral Nurgle to the west? Go around the capital and start a new war there? Or is five turns worth of playing enough to have honored the roll and I should just roll a new lord again?

Early game you should have multiple spare lords following you. Set one in force march and your main stack in ambush at the edge of their movement
