Is there a trick to save arrows in The Last Of Us?

Yes, there is a sneaky trick. Don't fire an arrow in the front of an enemy, because the enemy will fall forward and snap the arrow so you can't pick it up. Shooting an enemy in the front with an arrow only gives you a 20% chance of being able to pick it up again. Shooting the enemy in the side gives you a 50% chance of retiring the arrow. If you shoot the enemy while he is moving away from your position, for example their back to you and walking away from you, the enemy won't fall on and break the arrow, so it can be retrieved almost 100% of the time.

Where do people live in Niagara Falls?

People live in apartments and houses in Niagara Falls, NY and Niagara Falls, Canada. Niagara Falls, Canada is much nicer place to live. Niagara Falls, NY has all those industrial businesses nearby, and not too far away, is the site of the toxic waste dump; "Love Canal". Niagara Falls, Canada is beautiful. Niagara Falls NY is nowhere near as attractive. I am an American and there is no doubt that the Canadian side is a lot nicer to look at then the American side.

Why did William tell his soldiers to pretend to run away and some of harolds saxon army chased them Williams army did this several times and broke down the saxon army?

"All warfare is based on deception" Well William was a lot smarter than people think he was. He applied the doctrine of Tsun Zu. Always keep your enemy guessing. The saxons thought they had broken his army and had him on run, but it was not true. The enemy when he's on move neglects to think about his security and becomes complacent. Hence its easy to ambush him with a minimal loss of men to your side!!! "The O divine art of subtlety and secrecy! Through you we learn to be invisible, through you inaudible and hence we can hold the enemy's fate in our hands." He told them to run away because that they would run after them! Then the army would just have to turn around and "BANG!" kill 'em slaughter 'em... it's lodgical isn't it?


What happens in a siege?

A siege is when a castle, fort, walled town or city is surrounded and nothing is allowed to get in or out. A siege usually continues until the city (or otherwise) either surrenders due to lack of supplies, until the city falls to attack, until the besieging army gives up and goes away or until the besieging army is chased away or defeated by a relieving army. 'Liege' rhymes with siege.
