My old knight. Since I don't want to waste time on trying to find a name, I call them what they are. (I.E. Old Knight, Wandering Barbarian) So, no fancy name for him here.
That is his face. Now this guy lost once. At level 9. All his fights except his last were against the Pillaging Bear Tribes and never did anyone unhorse him. He's fought about 35 battles, mostly staying back or hitting a foe once, as not to get too much experience before getting a good army. I started with the extra gold option, to get a quick merc army. I kept dismounting when I felt Dancer (that's his name right?) got too many hits, I don't want to have such a fine horse be crippled.
At level 9 stuff went wrong. I had been fighting for a few minutes, still holding back a bit, when some stupid mountain bandit manages to cripple my horse. Well, I slay the bastard, and try to retreat to the frontline of mah infantry. (or, seeing how slow my knight without a horse is, move the infantry frontline a bit closer :3) As the footman fight continues I try and go to the front a bit, slaying 3 of them mountain-****s in the process. As luck would have it, I then get hit by an arrow in my feet. My health drops to 25%, and as I turn around to flee, one of them bandits cuts my back open.
