You do realize they have a huge ballast - loot and prisoners?
And do you expect our victorious people to not pick up the weapons?

Bronze-based metallurgy is actually superior to early Iron metallurgy, especially for bladed weapons - until the development of Wrought Iron/Crucible Steel, most-iron based objects were far more brittle than Bronze equivalents.
Of course, Iron is far more common than Copper or Tin...
IMO, that's a skill issue. They're using the same weapons. They just have vastly more experience fighting.
Likely, tactics are part of the issue. No amount of weapons will help you.
3rd is maneuverability. I think, they're hitting our flanks and disengaging losing fights, making us hard to fight effectively

'just'
Yeah, no.

Nomads do not do records or even common legends or memories; a century or two can be expected, anything more would be quite optimistic.
There will always be some group of them not knowing of us and seeing only our rich farms and shit. ~Nomads~.
Also, that's wrong. The chance of death (-4) is from admin order rolls. The 1/16 (ignoring Humility AND Greater Good) chance is for us ending up at -3 stability at the end of the turn.
And that's assuming we keep the current king. Switching to a new king has a 77% chance of ending up at +1 stability and literally can't end up below -1.
It's because The Law as currently written states that the King serves until he is obviously incompetent or dead. This would be going against The Law as we currently have it, for it goes against the system that we've had since time immemorial.
The TS hate us and really want to kill us, but the HK and the TH will gladly kick us while we're down and make us into vassals if they can.
Your estimation of recovery is hurt by the lack of consideration that the people will still be there and will share a large number of our values, we just have to diplomance them into joining back up again.
No duh it's bad, but it's not game over. (edit: which is what you were both claiming and specifically emphasized via italics)

No, they were using bronze weapons they extra picked up for this.
We are roughly as maneuverable with our chariots.
They had better weapons and better leadership.
You simply refuse to understand that the nomads only lose by standing and fighting. They can pick off a few weapons at a time while running away even. Best I can tell you just don't get the idea that big number don't mean instantly getting big wins.
A lot of this was a strategy imbalance. The 2/3s dead nomads where a fire and forget weapon. The Heros will make them best even with half the numbers. A lot is they are martial focused so just do better at military due to bonuses. While iron weapons chisel away at such bonuses, we don't even have proof they won't just scatter and flee. These nomads literally live to pull this kind of thing.
Exactly... we can solve a problem now.... or its a work in progress.
It means the process screw up picking him in the first place.

Yeah, well, if we first get hit with -1 from refusal to change the king, we are going to sit on -3, for example. So, well, it's just too risky to bet on RO working out and not failing admin rolls.
What are you even talking about? Do you see the 'end the north/south divide' button anywhere? I don't...well, besides integrating March, but those sweet actions...still, we have to.
And wrt metal...what do you think we are doing with opening the mine and whatnot?
(yeah, we've had specifically 'remove superstition' button and for some reason refused to push it and it only worked out due to ridiculous crit, that's true enough, but not relevant to the current situation)

Weapons would help you considering it's giving us a massive boost in martial. A guy skilled with a stone club is getting killed by a guy with a iron mace 10/10 unless the dude is retarded. We are focusing on our military with our Carrion Eaters reducing our losses giving us a plus 1 martial as well so go all in on weapons and capture the fleeing nomads fat with our loot and people.
If I were them:
Split into 2 armies. 1 to take care of loot & do a fighting retreat
2nd as harassing force/disappears.
I'll let you try to recover your loot/prisoners.
I'd even retreat and drop some loot. Let you take some of the prisoners and loot.
Now you're loaded with ballast too.
My mobile 2nd army, who's not taking any loot/prisoners hit you from the back. Esp when you're fighting my 1st army.
Round up any previous battlesite while they're at it.
If you split off for some to take care of the prisoners, my 2nd force hammers that, while the 1st retreats from your main army.
If you continue chasing my 1st army, you won't have much time to pick up stuff if you don't want me to get away.
If you chase my 2nd army, my 1st army picks up the loot and gets away, along with any other stuff.
2nd army runs till they're so deep in the steppe your supply chain is broken.
Then, regroup.
If 1st army looks like losing, drop most loot and retreat, leading you to chase.
2nd army goes for 2nd round raiding your province

This is ignoring Humility, assumes GG has a 10% chance of triggering, and that admin rolls are 50% order specified and 50% randomized.
What level of risk is acceptable to you? How much average loss are you willing to take to minimize risks?

I don't understand? If you wish to be patient and rebuild pick defensive so our remaining army is at home building walls and not chasing two hero units.

The King is seen as infalible by the people, so stepping down is he admiting he's falible winch is a thing that damages the face of the institution called king.

Not really? King is not assumed to be infallible, actually; it's just setting a precedent for removing the king the second you do not like him, which will end up in some general pulling a Julius Caesar.
