You have a few options. Trading for horses is something you should probably do for sure. Also, save some extra magic points, and the next time the horse spawn come raiding blow a couple of extra points, use any combat treasures, and basically throw everything you can at them, and hopefully you will defeat them and capture some of their horses.
General strategy says:
- When you are weak, don't choose the "kill as many as
possible" option as it seems to result in more deaths
for your clan as well.
- As fast as you can, get Elmal's Steadfast (helps you
defend) and/or shield (helps protect your thanes)
blessings in place. Better yet is the Elmal heroquest
to get his aid when you are attacked, but you may or
may not be able to do that easily. Any of these will
lower your casualties.
- Get other war blessings in place. You will lose
less people if you win, and will often lose none if
you win decisevely. A lot of people like Orlanth's
Thunderstone in combination with Odayla's Trueshot,
then picking skirmish as your battle tactics.
Otherwise, almost any of Humakt's blessings, and
Orlanth's lightning all help.
- Make sure you have your highest skill fighter on the
ring as your war leader (same theory as the last
point)
- Make sure you have a Challana Arroy shrine, and know
the healing blessing, and don't be afraid to sacrifice
to get people healed up.
Good luck.
