What should I do here?

I’m a vasal with the Khuzaits and I feel like the AI is not doing me any favors. We were at war with Sturgia and the Aserai at the same time which was a nightmare because everyone was running north and south. Not at war with Sturgia anymore but as soon as we made peace with them Monchug went and declared war with the western empire. I have 15 fiefs and they all border the western empire. So while every place I own is getting attacked Monchug and all the other assholes have been fighting over Shibal Zumr Castle. One side takes it and back and forth so most of the army is over there. And I’m in the same situation over at Onica castle. I own it but they take it and then I take it back. No one is getting anywhere. I want to go on the offensive and take Zeonica but I just don’t have enough people and I don’t think I can get anymore. Any tips for this stalemate? And where do all their troops keep coming from? They keep coming with 1100 troop armies and I keep destroying them, shouldn’t the...

I love infantry, and their lack of brains saddens me.

I know every single troop in Warband is braindead, but I feel like infantry is the category that suffers the most from it (excluding horse archers with the Native AI).

When I try to make a shieldwall, if one charging enemy manages to make it through, everyone turns around to look at him, exposing their back to the rest of the charging party who tears them a new asshole. Sometimes literally.

When I try to make them advance to get closer to the enemy archers, they continue to look back at the same guy that made it through 2 minutes ago, while walking backwards, conveniently exposing their back to the archers who turn their butts into pincushions.

When, out of frustration, I make them charge, hoping they'll find something more productive (and less suicidal) to do, they decide that gathering into a full squad, and running after a lone enemy horseman for 10 minutes would make for a great tactical move. Spoiler: they don't catch up with him, but they do get flanked by the rest of the enemy cavalry.

And if, by miracle, they decide that they should actually move as a whole towards the main group of enemies, they all target the same enemy unit at once, turning a ranked battle into a rugby contest where everyone plays elbows to make it to the frontline.

Next playthrough, it's going to be full heavy cavalry.

Prophecy of Pendor - Early Game Guide

I love PoP and think it's the best thing since Sliced Person, but the early game is bloody brutal, especially if you're used to kicking ass and taking names in M&B vanilla. So I wanted to write an early game guide to share my experience and hopefully help someone else get into the mod without as much agony as I (and many others) experienced. Character Creation - Questions When you start character creation, the game hits you with a bunch of background story questions. My advice is to answer these however you like, building the backstory for your character that interests you and helps get you into the story. However , these questions have serious impacts on the game, most critically whether you can create Knights of the Griffon chapters with just money, and something called the Rumor Interval which sounds irrelevant but is the most important thing ever . For a deep read on the subject see the wiki https://pop3.fandom.com/wiki/Character_Creation Or for a quick "Just...

Back when Bannerlord was announced, I vaguely remember that, in the announcement thread, people were discussing the choice of the title "Bannerlord." Does anyone else remember that? It was a useless topic to discuss, but I kept coming back because I was so hyped about the game and was hoping for more information about it.
