Oh, ok, so I should stay away from the lower side of the map, carry less items, and keep my morale high? Thanks. I'm constantly being captured from them...
Praying is helpful in this cases, nah! That happened to me at the beginning, just some hours of playing will cure your problem. Just assemble armies with mounted units, caravan guards are really good and can change into mercenaries and then to hire blades quickly, training this units is more easily done by putting some points into the train attribute option. Also don't spend your money on hiring soldiers from any tavern, keep that money for emergency cases and to get heavy weapons and armor, don't try to carry to much stuff in your inventory, just some food. For your heroes companions such as Marnid, Borcha, etc, get some horses to them and a good spear also, increase the path finding attribute option early in the game and constantly keep track of the enemies position and their speed movement, when enemies are outrunning you try to head to an ally land and the enemies will stop and change their direction. A good thing to do is attacking caravans and get their fortunes, with that get the better horses from the store to you and your companions, and in desperate cases when the enemies outnumber you, try always to have good weapons, shields, armor (all armor areas) (to you and your men) and get a big spear, a spear is a must have because they cause couch damage and you can actually kill big numbers of enemies just by your self and then send your troops (even if you have just a few) to do the final blow. Remember that the best way to attack higher numbers of enemies is to be mounted and keep moving at all times. Let the enemy come to you and then give them some hard time, by the time you kill the first ones, the new enemy reinforcements will have to cross from their original position to your area and that gives you some time to think, (if they are mounted enemies just stuck them in the corners of the map and have your men attack them at that precise time) then regroup your soldiers and repeat the sequence. Try your own strategies by fighting enemy armies at equal sizes, then enemies that outnumber you lets say 2-1, then 3-1, then 4-1, and finally 5-1. After that all the game will be easily yours!!! When fighting enemies try to fight in plain areas an avoid cliff, mountains, rivers, snow, etc, this will let you experience how hard mounted enemies are in plain areas, after that then move to different scenarios and experience other ways of the art of war.
