How to conquer Kuttenberg
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 follows a character named Henry through a story centered on removing the usurper Sigismund of Luxembourg from Bohemia and restoring imprisoned King Wenceslas I to power. The game’s main narrative involves conspiring, scheming, conducting heists, assassinations, and sabotage to weaken Sigismund’s control over Kuttenberg, the region’s economic powerhouse. However, PC Gamer suggests an entirely different approach: why not simply raise an army and conquer the city directly?
According to the article, approximately 20 to 40 troops could accomplish what the game’s complex story missions make difficult. The author proposes military conquest as a viable alternative to the narrative-driven approach. The first step involves raising an army, which surprisingly is easier than expected despite the base game not natively supporting warband mechanics.
To assemble a proper military force, players can utilize mods like “Companion Squad,” available on Steam Community. This mod allows Henry to recruit and lead a group of companions into battle, enabling the direct military assault on Kuttenberg that the game’s developers never explicitly encouraged through vanilla gameplay.
This strategy showcases Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s freedom and the creativity of both its modding community and players willing to forge alternative paths through the game’s world.
