What’s this armor and which faction has it

What do I do when my archers run out of arrows?

I'm playing PoP, but I think that the question generalizes well.

I have a medium sized (~200) army, about half of which are Empire crossbows. When I can pull enemies into mountainous terrain, I need only position my crossbowmen on the high ground, plug up any position which the enemy will funnel into with my infantry and provoke the enemy cavalry into a charge with my harassing horse archers and then hit the charging cavalry's flank with my own cavalry. After breaking the momentum of the first cavalry charge, I retreat behind my infantry and the crossbows kill everything. This strategy allows me to take on armies that are 300-strong with only a handful of casualties.

When I fight armies that are larger than 300, my crossbows start to run dry and then I'm forced to retreat and repeat even when I have my crossbows hold fire until the enemy troops are closer. This allows me to take on almost arbitrarily large forces, but feels cheesy and a bit unfair. Is there a more "legitimate" tactic that I can use to take on armies which are considerably larger than my own?

I'm playing with 530 battle size, good combat AI and normal damage to friendly troops, if that changes the equation in any way.

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 .

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.
