You want the long or short of it?
Short: I use mods, and generally keep low tier items on me, opting out of using anything better. Most people ignore me and my people as we have nothing to show.
Long: I am a ruthless tactical strategist, using a network of alliances and knowledge to ascertain who to strike, and who to avoid. I always pick the warlords first, those that gained power though massive assaults. Those that are feared. I am honorable about it and warn them of the coming event sparing no detail. As of yet, none of them take me serious at first. When they underestimate me in my minimal tin and leather, I disappear into the night, often for a extended time. They forget my warnings, and I come though, firing first a cannon far from view and sight. Walls crumble, and panic sets in. They know they have enemies, but know not who could attack. My single cannon barrage has started the fire, and I step back. The order is given, and the cannons dismantled quickly. with me and my fellows vanishing into the deep night. The warlord attacks, but never me. I alone have never shown my great storage vaults spread throughout the lands. They attack a neighboring enemy, and I watch as the fire roars. Now, they were attacked unprovoked, and now, the very battle begins. They attack each other, weakening the entire time. One falls, the other claims victor. I return. If it is ever the warlord, I load the cannons and rain hell from all corners. They have no walls, and my attack ends quickly. If it was anyone else, I simply thank them, and offer them one of my hidden vaults. Sometimes they agree, other times they decline. They never understand what I did, and that is how I prefer it. This entire process is known to repeat its self, always ending with the same results
