This is Caldaria, a land ravaged by wars between the 5 great nations: The Nords: Unparalleled infantry with heavy chain armor, and large axes for fighting and throwing. The kings and lords are hot headed and traditional
The Vaegirs: The balanced peoples, the kings cool headed and a variety of troops excelling at horsemanship and light infantries.
Kingdom of Swadia: Heavy Cavalry oriented with reliable heavy infantry, their lords and kings are very cautious, being in the center of the continent
Khergit Khanate: Born in the saddle, and die in the saddle, these people hail from the steppes, they excel in horsemanship, and their leaders are master hit and run tacticians, prolonged engagements are the bane of their existence
The Rhodoks: They're the best at killing horses with their spears and men with their crossbows, they are perfect for defending areas and will do it with their lives, not surprisingly their kings are the same
These kingdoms have fought for centuries. They are in desperate need of nobles and vassals to help raise armies for their constant state of warring.
This game will include a lot of talking, debating, etc. and not be all action so be prepared for it.

If he's a Nord, and he was watching the battle from a distance, then it shouldn't be possible to chase him, even with the Men-At-Arms on his tail. I order the militia and Men-At-Arms to cease their fighting and get a good distance between themselves and the Nords. "I am Johann Vekill! As you can see, you are surrounded and on the verge of losing your lives! You may stand-down and be treated with honor, or bear arms and face summary execution! Your wounded will be attended to! Please think wisely!"

So 5 footmen and 1 archer who were prisoners?
I send the wounded to the surgeons and townsfolk who have a history of medical experiance. (Be it minor or advanced) The Nordic prisoners will be held up in a barn with 6 militiamen gaurding. Meanwhile, I return to my quarters and bring out a peice of partchment.
To His Majesty (insert lord's name here)
My force and I have defeated the Nordic force. Half of my militia have been killed or wounded. One Man-At-Arms has been killed. We have taken 6 Nords prisoner and freed 5 footmen and 1 archer. (Whom, with your blessing, I will take under my wing) The Nordic forces had 30 warriors and 20 archers. We held the villiage outskirts, not a single Nord took a step into the villiage. In all, victory and luck has graced us with it's presence. I will await further orders for my unit and the fate of the prisoners. I am tempted to let them loose so they may return to their families. However, I will await a prisoner train to take them further inland, if you deem it neccasary.

you send it out with a horsemen, and the troops will be in there being taken care of.
one of the sergeants of the militia comes into your quarters
"M'lord, i believe it to be high time we start training a real force instead of a bunch of farmers with their hunting weapons, if i may say so myself."

Excellent.
I take a stroll into the villiage. I'll look for a Civil Affairs official of some kind. Maybe the villiage chief or something. "Good day. How are the citizens in this villiage doing."
