love the series but quik note from what i have experienced if u have other parties running around they wil slowly donate troops to garrison/ lose troops to bandits recruit bandtis etc etc its a pain to manage if ur looking for a organised army so if u want that always keep ur parties in a army even when they arent and just have them chasing u around if u dont want to be slower since u have that many more men
Not sure if you noticed, but you didn't assign Robbie to lead a unit, so most of his abilities weren't actually being applied to the bois. Always a delight to watch though man, love a bit of Bannerlord in between the Paradox games!
Its been a month so you might know this already, but if you want to sell a particular category of items (i.e. clothes), you can click the clothes tab then the inward arrow next to your name and it will sell everything that isn't locked within that category. It will save your clicking finger so much.
I found a strategy that is godly First declare peace with everyone except one faction you wanna fight Second use the money from smithing to stay afloat with all the tributes you are paying Don't attack, stay defensive wait for thousands to siege a castle if you are in the settlement they are besieging and wait until you can ambush them and then EXECUTE every one of them do this 2 more times and then start capturing towns because they would have lost all of their units at that point and they are an easy capture
But now every single lord/companion/family member in your kingdom and many others now hates you and later on it will be extremely tough to recruit vassals...
Now it may not be the most strategically sound plan, but if you let your enemies go you can level up your charm a fair amount. Play catch and release enough and you might even be able to convince them to defect to your kingdom
The button on the top right of the party screen shows all of the units that you can upgrade, Also holding control will upgrade the entire stack of troops
Try out the khans guard, they are by far the mist versatile troop, insane mounted cavalry, insane melee with their glaive making them both an insane shock infantry as well as insane ground archers,the single thing they dont dominate in is charging as a cavarly but a khans guard regiment in your army will be incredibly effective.
Just supplement them with imperial heavy cav or heavy kuzait lancers and khan guard are stupid versatile lol. I'm loving them on my current playthrough atm 😎 I've currently got quite a few vanguard Faris from the asrai after our last war and them boys do great as well. Dark khans also just never fckin die 😂 I had 15 of my 30 get sent on a siege... They killed 45 and all got knocked unconscious. Very solid shield wall infantry. 💪😎
Khan's Guards, Battanian Fian Champions, Aserai Palace Guards, Imperial Legionaries and the Sturgian Druzhinnick Champions are all amazing. Have a small force of just those guys (probably don't even need to go above 150), planned out and properly leveled companions and children, with clever usage of tactics you can take on entire armies that outnumber you 3 to 1 easily, if not more.
@@juliaturk7054 Fought off the northern empire of like 600 with basically only 65 fian champions and like 30 milita 😂 castle defense is pretty easy tho
Robbies adventure continues and he founds his kingdom! That was a nice video to watch, especially the fight where you were the only casualty and of course, the flying battanian. Always happy to see what you have in store Lazarus. 😁
If you want to survive after appointing a kingdom, there are literally only a couple of rules that you need to follow. 1. Size: get a sizeable fiefdom before committing to a kingdom. A couple cities, more castles, in the same region so you dont have to end up running your leg off to try and keep it together when you become a king. 2. Most or all of your companions are to be your nobles. You only need 1-2-3 of them to be your captains, depending on how diverse you want your armies to be, and the rest should be leading troops as soon as you can get them funded. Them leading their own troops will have them leveling up the skills they will need when you make them nobles. As soon as you become a king, you shall give them fiefs, and make them nobles, so your kingdom starts with not only your roaming parties, but theirs in addition. In time all their parties will become commendable forces that are capable of defending the kingdom as well, but it needs time, which is why you have to get them out ASAP. 3. Mods: as much as the game is worth, you will be railroaded into an endless battle and logistics simulator if you don't round out the gameplay with some good mods that help to make the game actually pan out to a wider range of activities. Diplomacy is crucial, its best features are that you can send messengers to any notable person that you met already so you don't need to run across the map with your entire army if you just want to talk to them again. There are options added to the game that let you create factions to kick the king off their throne in a country, to make pacts with countries, to arrange marriages, etc. It is a mod that adds some well needed life to the noble politics roleplay. Also if you build relationships with specific rulers, they will be unlikely to attack you. Other mod to consider is Arranged Marriage, which gives you control over your clan members and family marriages. It enables you to build up your nobles, by giving them spouses, for dynasty making...
To be fair I would totally die a stupid death if I was a soldier. I mean I keep bashing my head in the ceiling of the stairs in my house because for some reason they're very low and I keep forgetting lmao
One of my favourite things to do is running around with a full cavalry army mixed with standard cavalry and horse archers, its so good especially when you reach like above 60 troops
Was an empire culture vessel of the Khizat and this latest version of the game literally handed me 3 towns and 3 castles - i used my influence to pull a 4th town. As part of their culture, I have more towns than two independent kingdoms. Use what time I can to build them up before taking them all with me.
If you’re ever going to do a 3rd part to this series I’d recommend getting battainian companions so that you can get rid of a few rebuffs in ya castles
im literally getting such the teutotic order vibes, black and white flag, not a big realm but the army is very elite and you and your vassals win almost every battle
Have you thought about using tactics? Also when you seige, build trebuchet then put them into reserve until you have 4 then bring them all out at once...no catapults to kill your troops and holes in the wall to run through
Holes in the wall is only going to be beneficial if you're confident you can stay there until they're fixed to stop the enemy from taking it right back. That being said, I almost always break the walls and leave the settlement as soon as I've set up the build order and governor then pray the enemy doesn't send another 2000 man army to take back my worthless castle lol
@Gardolind I stay to recoup then move on, but usually the AI is utterly useless and so find myself rushing off to deal with something my allies are casuall moving away from
@@keithharris5196 "Stay to defend? Where's the pillaging in that?" - me, leaving a settlement with 20 defenders, no walls, and 300 enemies marching on it.
i took zeonica and onica castle and met every incoming army with 200 khuzait horse archers. kinda cheese but id withdraw when i run out of arrows. but i held those as king with no clans or mercs
should seperate a small infantry group of strongest soldiers from the standard infantry, say 20 guys so when you dismount you can command them to follow you around as you do your scrapping, while the other infantry keeps charging
Laith there’s a much faster way to sell all of your loot, you just have to go up to the top where it says sell all. And if you wanna sell all your weapons, for example, you go into that category. You also sell more than the cities can afford, meaning that you actually lose a lot of money that you could have gained.
First time I've ever kindof agree with a TH-cam Title. Surviving bannerlord as an independent kingdom is almost impossible in this current time. I play on freebooter most times and even then it's still almost to taxing mentally to be fun.
if you think cavs amazing spam some horse cav then youll see something else especially azerais for archers just use f1 then f4 :D will keep them at range / skirmish mode if they're on charge they will always run to melee range and second button on inventory in top middle is your gear for street battles :D its limited to certain ones though love seeing some MB videos
They changed that some time ago, just give your cav archers the charge command and watch the glorious circle of death (just get rid of enemy cav charging at you first as charge will always target the closest unit or just ride your cav archers close to their infantry and then give the charge command) they will keep to shooting distance and continuesly ride circles around them, if you have enough and split them up in two staggered groups you can achieve a full surround shredding through those pesky shield bearers
I got a tip for some 1v1 combat, when you have a shield you can use a shield strike by pressing E while blocking. you can also press E to kick without a shield( no blocking needed to kick)
When I get my first Kingdom I lose interest in the game like why is that we can't have patrol units to protect your settlements?? Maybe I'm just expecting too much from game devs these games
I started a kingdom in the top left of the map,I also exclusively used horse archers to tear up any armies that came my way. It was hard but eventually they sued for peace due to other threats and my kingdom gained legitimacy. Being hard to get to was very helpful.
You make a very interesting exposition of this game, although I must ask you where your background music comes from., and I also ask you to diversify it, although it’s probably something royalty-free
well shit... this makes sieges look kinda easy... I remember my first time trying to besiege a castle... my character still has PTSD from the defeat we suffered back then
I’ve come back after couple months think it was March or end of February, I was late game ish? With being apart of the sturgians and was gonna attempt to be my own kingdom after the play through I just done. I no it’s pretty hard n near impossible but it’s a blast just like my first play through trying to create a kingdom 😭, just gotta get everything early game and set it up for you’re funding
I feel like you should really lower your mouse sense when you want to fight on a horse. Idk if its just me but it feels like you move your mouse 1 centimeter and you flick into the sun. Anyway keep up the great work!
Laith, please use a bit of strategy instead of just running in your troops. Survivability for your troops go way up if you use some better techniques instead of charging.
