Hovering over a city's number of books will list what books it possesses. Lords and armies are also visible on the map. Lords move fast and cannot be attacked. Armies move slow and can be attacked by independent and suzerain kings.

Bandit camps can appear if enough peasants leave to join the forest banding. Unless they are destroyed or bribed the forest bandits will periodically attack the province's villages and eventually the city. There are two ways of handling bandit camps:
# [[File:Attack.png|35px]] Attack and if victorious the camp will be destroyed and you will gain loot, +5 relations with neighbors and +7 relations with the Bishop. If there are prisoners in the camp they will be freed. Hovering over the Attack button will show the possible Gold loot.
* [[File:Attack.png|35px]] Attack. If victorious the camp will be destroyed and you will gain 25 Gold per bandit, +5 relationship with neighbors and +12 relationship with the Matriarch and any prisoners in the camp they will be freed. If defeated any hostages will be killed and the bandit camp will send an army to the city in a few days. Hovering over the Attack button will show the possible Gold loot and before sending the selected army the game will display the estimated chance of victory.
# [[File:Gold.png|35px]] Bribing costs 60 Gold and prevents attacks on the city and the growth of the bandit camp for a week. This action requires a lord or messenger.
* [[File:Gold.png|35px]] Bribing costs 30 Gold and prevents attacks on the city and the growth of the bandit camp for a week. This action requires a lord or messenger.
 
Bandit camps in the province of another king may send offers. Accepting an offer reduces relationship with the province's king by 7 and the bandits can later use the Gold to gain more bandits.
