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...

Cantabrian Circle

Today I used the Cantabrian Circle to great effect as the Khuzaits.

While playing BannerKings I decided to raid a Southern Imperial village to secure silk for my velvet workshop, triggering a war between my liege Monchug Khagan and Regina Rhagaea.

After my raid I noticed Rhagaea patrolling her lands with a small retinue of 80 troops. My army of 170, which consisted entirely of lancers and horse archers, successfully pursued her and started a battle in a large valley surrounded by woods.

The cowardly imperials hid their crossbowmen in the forest while stationing a shield wall of fairly low level legionnaries at the edge of the treeline. I could not flank the enemy, so all advantage should have gone to the imperials.

I set my lancers to the side where I could command them to charge at the mounted Rhagaea and her entourage if they chose to attack my horse archers. I then commanded my horse archers to enter a column formation and had them follow me. To my surprise this actually worked. I ran in a circle in front of the legionnaries, keeping my archers mobile while also allowing them to fire at the enemy. The Cantabrian Circle was complete. Legionnaries and crossbowmen alike fell to my horse archers and skilled companions.

Meanwhile my lancers annihilated Rhagaea. Her weakened legionnaries decided to charge, ultimately getting wiped out by my cavalry and archers. The crossbowmen themselves also fell to my lancers, allowing me to capture the Empress herself in the first battle of the war.

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.
