What’s this armor and which faction has it

Does anyone else play at 100+% difficulty with realistic saving?

The high difficulty yields a lot more satisfaction, but it's also very frustrating. I'm level 35 with (almost) the best armor but I can still die in 1 hit from a stray arrow from a tier 3 archer.

Usually in video games your character is a "hero" type of figure, but on normal damage difficulty, you're basically just another unit. It's disheartening how weak my character is compared to my high tier units. I'll go into a 500+ battle and take a stray arrow, bolt, axe, or lance hit within the first minute, then I'll have to alt-tab and browse the web while waiting 15 minutes for the battle to finish. If I don't fall within the first minute, my 60-armor horse will be ruined by projectiles within 3 minutes, then I'll fall off while desperately fending off 4-8 low tier infantrymen who will surround & overwhelm me. But thankfully with mods, I can wait out the battle instead of instantly retreating/losing when my character is KO. My most effective strategy for field battles is to always keep a shield raised and charge down units on the outer rim, while drawing away archer fire from troops. Otherwise, if I lower my shield for a second and try to slash an enemy, or enter into the fray, I'll eat a projectile and be downed.

Typically (95% of battles) I'll instantly alt-tab to browse the web until my units destroy the enemy, because if you select the "Order your troops to attack without you" option they will suffer massive casualties. My "hero" is so weak and pointless. At this difficulty the game isn't an ARPG, it's an RTS.

Turning off casualty, exp, damage, and range notifiers makes for a much better experience. The casualty spam in the lower left corner is so annoying; why is it even in the game? I would turn off banners too, but that would be stupid, because in a realistic war you would have all your troops wear painted tabards or some type of uniform, so there would be no need for the overhead banners.

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.
