Mighty Glacier: The single hardest opponent to kill in the entire game, he has the best armor possible, a good sword, and shield, luckily, he's a bit of a Stone Wall, since he doesn't have a lance.It's All About Me: If you are allied with Swadia, be prepared to see "King Harlaus has decided to give the fief of to King Harlaus" A LOT.In reality, it's a uniform AI behavior applied to all Monarchs to try and keep vassal relations above water, Swadia just gets hit with these because they have to fight on multiple fronts. Fat Bastard: A reputation Harlaus developed due to his tendency to hold feasts at improper times, including when he's under siege.Authority Equals Asskicking: Generally held to be the most dangerous NPC in the game, bar none.Chances are he will be taken down by an archer/fast melee character or be thrown from his horse and ganged up on by a group of soldiers. Achilles' Heel: Harlaus is a highly competent opponent in battle, but his equipment is heavy and cumbersome.With hard choices, plagues and famines, coastal assaults. Detailed siege warfare system, with options to reduce a defender by hunger or morale, or by direct assault.
