Do i need a beginners guide? No. Do i watch Strats Guide the moment it appeared? HELL YES!
I would add to the guide the recommendation to go to any empire town and talk to the arena manager until he lets you into the practice fights. savest way and arenas to learn combat and easiest to be the last men standing. and that gives 250 Gold. you also get some levels in your skills without any repercussions. Heck, i do 4 to 5 every time i start a new game to double my starting money and enable myself for some smithing or the additional arrow stack.
I appreciate that as always Ric! You've been with me for most of this channel's life and I'm very thankful :) Ah damn man I always forget about that lol!! Woops, that would have been perfect and wouldn't have taken more than 30s. I'm gonna pin your comment.
@@Strat-Guides You also forgot to mention that fighting and trading naked is a must for beginners.
haha, I don't even play this game, and I still watch all the guides lol :D
@@osetrinushka I appreciate that man, it means a lot :)
I personally find practice fights a waste of time but to each their own, doesn't take particularly long to get from one tournament to the next and honestly, tournaments are easier to win than practice fights imo. I find myself dying to archers in practice fights more times than I wish to admit.
Me, 1000+ hours into bannerlord:
ahh yes, this strat guide for beginners is literally for me.
To be fair, a lot of this stuff is buried without any explanations :P I'm glad it was helpful!
A sharp sword without a grindstone to back it up is as useful as an ocean of dust.
@@warlorddelta8 you are so wise
Saaame hahaha
Same
Months of waiting? It has litterally been a decade.
Mount and blade warband beginner’s guide?
*Guts theme slowly increases in volume*
I think it’s because it’s fully released. I’m not sure though
And the game still feels like its a beta
That's true... it has been a minute.
Alright after 190 hours of practice I’m finally ready to watch this tutorial.
Well. After 2 years retired from bannerlord and steam accounted 300h. I feel like a newbie. Too many changes, new features, new bugs...
Too real 😂
Just picked it up on game pass and logged 48 hours already. First playthrough for these types of games is always my "tutorial" run lol
Me right now😂😂
Small addition:
If you plan to take on a bandit camp, first check the surrounding villages for the "bandit camp near X" quest. They will pay you to clear the camp. Then check the nearest city for the "X(some gang leader) associates captured by bounty hunters" quest. That one will also pay you to clear the bandit camp. You can accept both quests at the same time (you cannot accept the same quest a secound time while the first one is still active) and you will get a lot of money on top of the loot from the camp.
Yeah that's a great point, it's nice to double dip!
12:06 a few weeks ago i found out that if you are the highest on the tournament leaderboard (you can achieve this by having the most wins ), you will also get 1 renown per day as long as you stay number one. This is very useful for passive renown income.
It is pretty useful, kinda wish there was a smaller prize for 2nd and 3rd place though. Also wish there was a notification for a noble dethroning you from 1st, since it's tedious to have to check every day just to make sure I'm getting the bonus
@@Timblebits I have 120 wins with second place having 59 I never have to check
I had no idea this was a thing, I need to stop ignoring tournaments.
Yup! And the nobles don't compete in too many tournaments so it's not too hard to stay on the top :)
@@Strat-Guides That said, the nobles highest on the list tend to be competitive so it's necessary to defend your title. I've found that the easiest way to defend your title is a botched "rescue attempt".
My man put all 5 focus points into video editing. This is fire content.
Haha nice analogy! Thanks Syltis :) I went try-hard on this one lol
Lol nice
@@Strat-Guides your try-hard definitely paid off!
The most important thing I took from this guide is that Strat has spent so long in Calradia that he can beat the game naked and weaponless.
Hahaha I purposefully did this one naked to see how many people would comment ;) You've put a smile on my face Peter!
@@Strat-Guides I was just going to comment on how he includes being naked and dying a lot. While that doesn't affect the battle overall... It lends a little new player humanity to the vid. Thumbs up! :)
The main campaign honestly helped quite a bit in terms of learning combat. I remember the "ah-ha!" moment while practicing archery when I realized I could hold down the trigger button for better accuracy (I was just one tapping it...).
One thing I'd probably add to the guide is switching between perspectives while not on the campaign map. There are a few instances where first person perspective helps immensely - such as mounted melee combat - especially considering swinging low vs. high (I kept swinging high when trying to hit footmen).
Despite this guide being over a year old it's nice to reference, even if you're not a beginner.
Option 1: Go to sleep, get some much needed rest after a long night.
Option 2: Stay up with Strat.
number 2
Option 1, sleep 8 hours then stay up all night for launch of banerlord
@@Monster3Games that should be number three lol
Option 3: Strat Gaming has made you a Svanaboo, the greatest success out of the Bannerlord community.
Lol it will be there when you wake up :P
A tip for early tournament/trade routes. Walk into any town and head to the arena. Ask the Arena owner if there are any tournaments in nearby towns and they will give you the location of two tournaments. If you travel to one of the towns you will almost always make it in time to participate in that tournament. If you compete in the tournament, repeat the process by asking the local arena owner again and you will get two new towns. By selecting the highlighted town name in the dialogue you can track the towns to find them on the map easier.
Once you have a tournament in mind to compete in, look at the towns between you and the tournament town. Keep these towns in mind when checking trade rumors on various trade goods before heading out. By reinvesting your tournament winnings into trade goods to sell on your way to the next tournament you can secure some quick profits that require almost no risk provided you can maintain a decent travel speed.
Also as your number of tournament wins increases the amount you can earn from betting on yourself decreases. Early on you can make 1k profit per tournament, as you climb the leader board it eventually drops down to a mere 100-200g
To add, the more lords are in a tournament, the more better the price would be. I just had a tournament with a mere 3 lords, but I was able to get a tier 6 horse which sells for 17k at game's first 2 weeks, then a 58 armor helm for 16k. So later on dont mind the low betting profit, but look out for tournaments with lots of lords for better gear to use or sell
I feel like the trade rumors be fucking me up. They say I can sell somewhere for hundreds. I roll up and that shits only worth 30+
@@bryancampos6415 yeah, gotta pay attention to the color of the rumor. Shows how long ago the rumor was heard
One thing I realized during testing is that the campaign mode has a big advantage over the sandbox, your brother, if you use the player option to assign points to companions, will be lvl 21 with all the focuses and statuses of that lvl ready to be spent as you wish, making him the perfect support and the player can focus only on combat.
I respect the amount of work you put in these vids and gathering stats and stuff, what a legend.
Thank you!! Yeah the editing for this one was a bit taxing, but I'm glad it turned out okay :)
I have over 200 hours in this game and just learned a TON from this video. Incredible video, thank you for this.
Nice, I'm happy to hear that :) Thanks for watching!
I’m a console player and I’ve been watching tons of your content to get ready for bannerlord, I am so happy to see this video today before I finally get my hands on this game :) thanks homie!
Almost there bro, hang on! What do you have planned out for your first campaign?
@@Strat-Guides I’m going to jump into a sandbox and just try to absorb as much as I can! I assume that my first couple of campaigns will be a lot of learning through trial and error, but I’m really excited! :D
@@ayochill9716 yo how does it run on console?
@@koba2209 runs alright textures dont load well sometimes and youll the odd crash but thats mostly it besides the bugs
@@mohammadrezapahlavi4578 ok. How about gameplay? Can u actually hit smtg with a bow or polearm?
12:06 OH MY GOSH!!!!!! I NEVER KNEW THAT ABOUT THE HELMET ICON!!!!!!!
There's so much to learn in this game. I absolutely love it.
Yeah that little change can save you some time :) Also not sure if you were aware and I forgot to put it in the video - but you can talk to the tournament master and ask where the closest tournament is. Much easier than roaming aimlessly!
@@Strat-Guides And on that note, they need to allow you to talk to the Tournament Master from the world map, just like you can do with the rest of the NPCs, instead of having to load into the tournament grounds each time.
AAAHHHHHH! A new guide by one of my all-time favorite TH-camrs! Today is a great day!
Thank you, Strat, for all of your work! Also, your use of memes and humor does NOT go unrecognized, and is highly enjoyed and appreciated.
Thanks Lockheed! :D I appreciate that. I need to add more South Park and Family Guy though... lol
By far the best Bannerlord channel. A lot of channels tend to capitalize on new updates and information without adding very much additional value, I won't name anyone but I'm sure many of us can think of a few names.
Strat actually goes into the data and explains to us which I appreciate.
Haha I repeat the same sentiment from time to time but I try to not get too into that. I'm not a fan of lazy content, but I get that there's an audience for it so who am I to judge :P
Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it :)
@@Strat-Guides we appreciate all the hard work you do for these videos. Gathering all this data is no joke! Thank you for putting in all this effort even though you don't have to.
The difference between the first and second game are jaw dropping 😁
I adore this channel, your video are really thorough and entertaining to watch. Nowhere on the internet you can find information like these to optimise one's playthrough. I hope you can expand it beyond Bannerlord and include other popular games.
Thank you RedX!! I appreciate the kind words :) I put a lot of time and hard work into these so it's great to hear that from time to time. I am planning on covering Victoria 3 very soon and would love to expand into other games. I'm going to keep the main channel videos to guides and maybe some unique, heavily edited videos but keep let's plays and longer form stuff on the 2nd channel so even if people don't play the games that I cover, my hope is that it's interesting enough to watch some of it just to get an idea!
Great guide. You’re the TH-cam bannerlord we’ve always needed. Keep up the great work. I’ve been playing the m&b series since 2014 and even I learn something from each of your vids.
Hey Fergus! Thank you for watching and helping with the algorithm :) I'm happy to hear the guides are helpful!
I rarely comment on yt but I just want to mention that your content has been incredibly useful. The kind of in depth analysis of all different skills and features of this this game that you create are perfect when I'm hyperfocusing on this game and just can't get enough.
I appreciate that! Thanks for the help with the algorithm :) I'm glad to hear my work is being helpful!
Dude, I can't believe it. It's unbelievable the effort you put into calculating all this, explaining it in a way that people can understand. I'm 100% sure Talewords didn't care that much. Respect.
9:00 Also, you can ask the innkeeper in the taverns about companions. I don't recall this being a feature earlier.
Oh yeah someone mentioned that a while back and I forgot about it again lol Thanks!
I seriously love your content. 200+ hours in the game and I still learned new things in your beginners guide
Nice, I'm happy to hear that! I tried to be thorough but not include too much to be overwhelming. I think maybe it was still overwhelming...
@@Strat-Guides can't speak for brand new players but it's a great guide for those with some knowledge of the game but needing to improve on fundamentals
I just got this game and felt overwhelmed so thank you for this.
I don’t know why it being called ‘Clan’ and not ‘House’ drives me crazy, but it does.
my mind has imploded... but in a good way
My god..this is the hands down best guide i could find...and u explained everything beautifully..just started this game and i had no idea what to do after ridiculously shallow game tutorial...this helped
Haha yeah the tutorial is a bit lacking to say the least :P I did my best to cover about 20 - 30% of the game here and mostly just early game stuff. I have a ton of guide covering other things once you get there like fiefs, kingdom managements, workshops, etc. Also feel free to reach out if you get stuck on anything, I'll do my best to help!
I just got this game last night. Super excited to learn it
Great guide, even with hundreds hours playing this game I'm still enjoying watching your guides and other videos, keep up the good work!
I appreciate you watching! I tried to put a lot more editing into this one because I figured a lot of my more-experienced subs would be watching this one too and I didn't want you guys getting bored lol :D
A beginner's guide? That's something I needed... 2 years ago, I guess. Good job, man! I hope you'll also make the second part of it, featuring smithing, marrying, gathering reputation, creating your own kingdom, recruiting clans... A few things I'd like to add for now:
1. Experience you get to level your character up is not the same as the experience you gain in each skill. Using skills increases your lvl exp regardless of whether you progress in this skill.
2. Try investing some focus points in all the skills you prefer to use, and then add more as you progress further. E.g rather than having 3 FP in Riding from the start, better have 2 and add the third one once your Riding is 70 or more. Meanwhile, an extra point can go to boost your leadership, trade or steward that you'll be using anyway.
3. Some tourneys are easier to win than others. E.g. I hate the Battanian ones because you often get in a situation when you have a two-hander and the opponent has a bow. Use kicks (default is "E") to win one-on-one in melee.
4. Improving your reputation with anyone gives you Charm exp. You get a lot of it by sparing enemy lords after you defeated them and quests like Caravan Ambush or Extortion by deserters.
5. The aforementioned quests are the best, IMO, as they involve guaranteed combat with a spawned party, not with some looters that are already running around. Prefer them over Escort caravan or Deliver a herd - quests that take too much time and travel.
6. Killing bandits in towns (Waterfront or Alley) is an easy source of renown and Charm exp. If you buy a two-hander suitable for 'civil use' (see an icon), you'll basically one-shot them.
7. Smithing is the best skill) It's not just great for customizing your weapon but also an insanely easy way to make money. Watch a dedicated video about it.
8. You should start building your Governers, be they companions or family members, as soon as possible. Because it takes an insane amount of time.
9. You can actually monopolize markets by buying a workshop, switching it to something else, and then selling. Be the only Calradia's producer of Silverware, Velvet, Oil or wine or whatever - and you'll have no financial problems.
10. Scarcity is your opportunity when trading. Just captured towns or towns with ransacked villages have food shortages you could profit from. Cheap wood from Battania, for example, could be sold at quadrupled price in a neighbouring kingdom. You can easily guess where Fur is the cheapest and where it's expensive. Same goes for salt, dates, whatever. If you're lazy to wait for scarcity, create one)
Thanks for watching! Yeah I could maybe do another video like this for the mid game - my main goal was to get as wide coverage as I could for the early game so people could figure out what they wanted to go and have a few tips to help them out. Maybe doing a walkthrough for each would be helpful as well...
These are all good points and I wish I had time to make a 60 min guide to include them all lol
I've played mount and blade from the beginning and never mastered single player without cheat codes (life is to be enjoyed). I think this guide gives great tips that give me more perspective on what the game is designed to simulate. Love the detail and perspective, thank you.
A suggestion that is far from new and serves as support for any "build" is to participate in combat in the arena repeatedly at the beginning of the game. I don't deny that this requires time, patience and fighting boredom (usually I always watch a video on TH-cam to distract myself), but it offers free money (depending on your performance and time dedicated), practical training in combat skills (no risk of getting hurt or "real" dying) and the passage of time is "stopped" while you are parked in the city (remember that your character is not immortal and time is essentially valuable).
I always dedicate a generous amount of time to this training because I can develop my character to a "satisfactory" level, which gives me the possibility of saving money, strengthening the protagonist as a warrior and prioritizing the development of skills early. It is a strategic - and qualitative - way of investing in the character's immediate future without taking concrete risks and it is generally at the beginning of the journey that we face the most critical challenges and limitations.
I also adopted this method in Warband. I'd rather spend weeks preparing my character in advance than starting the adventure in an amateurish and crude way at its normal pace. Even though you are an experienced and skilled player, a weak, inexperienced and poor character is very vulnerable to all sorts of problems... and all improvement is gradual. The focus involves taking a secure "shortcut" in this (long) process. Furthermore, it's good to know that it's easier and faster to level up when the campaign has just started.
And just to finish, I would like TaleWorlds to create other more dangerous and challenging options in arenas - even if they require payment - that offer better rewards. There could be a "survive" mode to fight endless horde or a "veteran" version where you could only fight enemies with good armor. The potential is immense.
Damn man 41k subs, your channel just keeps growing! I'm so happy for you, keep up the great work.
50k soon!!!
Thanks man, it's been going crazy right now lol I'm usually gaining about 3k per month but now it's almost 6k. For sure 50k by the end of the year :D I appreciate the support!
The mount in the character's city/town mode (clothes, armor, weapon, and so on) also count towrads the total of herd animals. So a main character and his companions can each have two horses counting towards the total f two per party member.
Interesting, I didn't realize the civilian outfight counted! I guess it does make sense though.
Forgot the motivational background music when playing....Black Sabbath, all albums.
Thanks for this, really informative video! Especially the culture bit at the start
Thanks for watching! Glad the video helped :)
I'm new to this game and I have pre ordered the console version which releases in 1 hour. I have been watching a couple playthroughs but this really helped. Thanks!
Nice, you should be ready for a good first campaign!
Best M&B 2 creator hands down. Much love my man, keep kicking ass
Thanks Charlie, I appreciate that :D Hopefully there was something useful in there. I know I usually cater to the more advanced so I felt a bit out-of-place on this one.
Bro not all heroes wear capes your a legend even after watching a lot of videos i still wasnt ready for when i got the game. i was just basically doing random stuff and learning on the fly but your vid broke it down so easily thanks brutha!
Thanks for this video! I've already logged around 100+ hours into this game but half the stuff in this video was completely new to me or really good info. I guess the games combat is so addicting you tend to forget that there's an entire economy going on.
Thanks for the guide, even though I played for hundreds of hours and I've seen a lot of your videos I still learned new things.
Thanks for watching Dreamer! I'm glad to hear there were still some useful things :)
600 hrs in the game. Still gonna watch cuz Strat is a Chad
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching :)
My dude, your Guide is awesome. I played quite a few hours of bannerlord, but you always have something new for me. Starting a new campaign right now, because of the video.
I'm happy to hear that! Thanks for watching :D
I’ve been waiting for this game forever and now it’s finally almost here
Only a couple more hours!
known m&b for 10 years still watching your video because its good
Oh wow that's a long time! Bannerlord was my first exposure to the series so I'm still fairly new to it. I wish I had played the previous titles too!
@@Strat-Guides i never was too hardcore i was too young to care for game announcements and nowadays when I look at it damn they delayed a lot!
Worth it though, i still play warband from time to time
The content i used to watch doesnt exist anymore a youtuber abandoned by his community and i see it a lot more lately sad...
Now I'm Nostalgic and sad :(((
Still at the top of your game, best wishes to the fam. Can’t wait to see what you’ll do next, Keep up the good work
Hey Wallance! Thanks man, I appreciate that - kids are with the grandparents for a day or so while I catch up on some work and get ready to stream for TW tomorrow :) Hope all is well with you and fam as well!
I've already watched dozens of hours of your guides but sure, more is great!
Haha thanks Pendant!
What a nice, concise, and comprehensive guide. Your videos are excellent. Well done.
Thank you!!
Nice to hace a guide that’s not all min/max. And actually explains how to track things! I was so lost in the UI on console
Thanks for watching! I'm glad to hear it was helpful :)
Oh my goodness, this game is too addiciting! I JUST got it on the PlayStation and DAMN! It's amazing! Thanks for the tips man! Also, for me, if i wanna know where all the Tournaments are taking place, i can just ask the Tournament Maser where the next games will in fact take place.
Lol be prepared to lose some sleep :) thanks for watching!
Regarding cultures, I could see Empire as being a decent culture if you plan on personally owning a lot of settlements and not handing them off to vassals, for the garrison cost reduction. Also, empire has the largest number of settlements on the map so you have that as an advantage in terms of matching your culture to the settlements you own.
Yeah I was tempted to include them as well, but there is a bug that I don't think has been fixed yet - the bonus is actually tied to empire towns and no the culture. So any Empire towns you have will have it no matter which culture, but having an empire culture character and owning non empire fiefs will not work. I have not seen if they fixed it yet for full release though so don't quote me on that!
I forgot how much fun this is! Hadn't played Bannerlord yet, but clocked in 100s of hours on Warband. And damn it's great to go from nothing to slowly rising in an existing faction and eventually taking your own land. Some great tips here to get me back in business!
I started with Battanians as I’m a Scott and they reminded me most of the Celts that were my Ancestors!
I always try to get the nobles first in the battles, so you get rid of their influence and more damage, they are harder to get but with spear or polearm on horse works pretty well usually.
I took great pleasure in charging ahead and head hunting nobles with javelins at the beginning of a battle while the enemy stayed in formation.
It has finally arrived. Lettuce enjoy this game as best as we can for those who didn't live to see it.
Almost there!!
Watched it in 1.5 speed. The Info came like a tsunami. Great work
Looking forward to your channel getting a nice boost with the game launch! You deserve it. Great work as always
Thank you, me too! lol I appreciate that
Another brilliant guide. Never thought to look up the formula for herding penalty, thanks for clarifying that!
Thanks! Yeah it's a tricky thing to manage lol especially with you have 14 different kinds of horses lol
RIP to all the sword brothers who could not see the release after this long, long decade
That's a good point - there probably are a fair number!
Has always, solid vid bud !! Now i can’t wait for the coop mod, can ya imagine a 5man campaign?! Madness i tell you
Hey Lucho! Yeah man I would pay DLC money for a coop campaign mod :) Thanks for watching!
Haven't played in more than a year but I'm still watching your videos and getting my updates :)
I appreciate the support! Yeah you've been with the channel since pretty much the beginning :) I'm very grateful for that!
After playing multiple campaigns in this game.. this guide is AWESOME!! I wish I found it sooner. Would've saved me ALOT of wasted time/aggravation in game LMAO thanks!!!
One thing I always struggle to decide on every playthrough is what role to cover by myself and what by companions. It pains me that there are no extremally low lvl companions, 'blanks' to min max them as they are needed. I personally pretty much always fill only QM and have horde of companions covering the rest of roles (as well as some future commanders/bodyguards, mixed-cultures governors and caravaneers). I know it is suboptimal but I cannot stop myself
Yeah I wish there were lower main-level companions!
Too bad the Aserai-Vlandia Horsepipeline got removed, that would have been the only thing needed in the trade section hehe
Somewhat related, any good ways to determine places that have a shortage of horses/pay well for a few hundred darshis and nahasawis? Asking for a friend.
oh damn.....the War Camel - Aserai Horse combo was so handy in my current campaign..... :(
Yeah man that Askar to Vlandia trip was always so juicy!
I know Flesson was working on a horse trading video and said he was having trouble making them profitable. I think they changed things up a lot with horse trading so I'm not sure how profitable they are now. Good question, for your friend of course ;)
Always good to review the fundamentals, so thank you for making this, Strat! I can't believe the game has fully released; what an enjoyable journey through Early Access it's been. I'm looking forward to your videos and finding new and exciting ways to kick Derthert's a** as the game continues to evolve!
Thanks for watching!! I've got quite a few ideas that I'm excited to pull off soon :) I've got a fun video topic - How to become the tournament champion without competing in a single tournament. How???? Well I guess you'll have to watch hahaha
Seldom do I find a guide when trying to learn to play a game, watch the guide, and then leave feeling like I still want to play the game.
Awesome video. Thanks for the information and time making it.
Thanks! In my experience, I usually find a beginner's guide to watch, get to the end and realize I have no more time to play because the guide took 3 hours to get to the point haha I think maybe my guides go a bit too fast, but at least TH-cam has the 75% playback speed function
So excited to play on console!
Almost there bro, hang in there!
Best unit in the game? Horse archers! Just don’t use them like the AI and let them charge head first into enemy’s formation.
Instead, follow these steps:
- split them into 2 groups.
- put them in loose formation
- Lead one flank with follow order and hold/move position for the other. Let them stop and fire their volleys into enemy formation for maximum accuracy.
- Quickly relocate when the enemy start to advancing in shield wall toward you. Now the other horse archer group can be position right behind their shield wall and peppered them with arrows in the back.
- Rinse and repeat.
This strat helped me dominate the entire Khuzait territory, which I then use to recruit even more Noble sons and Qiangli into my army. Need warhorses to upgrade them to Torgud? Just fight and loot from your enemy’s corpses.
P/S: I checked and horse archers seems to have the upper hand in a skirmish against foot archers since they have their horse to somewhat shield them. May need to test that against high tier archer like Battanian Fian though.
Good guide.
Had a great laugh at your naked dude trying to fight, laughed out loud. Cool fro
18:26 I see you've grown fond of that meme lmao. Then again, that reaction is understandable. Can't count the number of time I got stopped in my tracks by a lowly peasant with a pitchfork like that, then swiftly mobbed.
Haha that's what my brain says when I see them turn-snap to me :)
Thanks dude for this vid just 6 hours now until bannerlord on ps5 woot
6? i thought we yad around 12ish

Perfect timing! I hope it's helpful to you
yess
Thanks for watching!
Super useful, I appreciate this
Im already in the campaign at the point where I, way to early, created my own kingdom. I see this and think, wow, I did a lot wrong dang it. But I wanted to play "blind" to figure stuff out on my own. Youre Videos are amazing and help me now but will definitly help alot for my next campaign. Thanks man, your work is much appreciated
There is a mod that changes the culture of settlements slowly to match the owners culture
It is essential in my opinion and i hope they implement that into the game
I agree, that would be a really nice addition!
Only problem I see is culture completely disappear
Did you know the name of that mod?

YEEEEEESSSSSSS !
Thanks for watching!
This video is amazing! Thank you so much bro everything I needed to know in this video, thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Hi i just started playing again and this guide helps alot!
Hey Strat, I have a couple friends starting on Bannerlord and I've sent them your videos and databases, but they got overwhelmed pretty fast.
I guess it's easy for us that have been following Bannerlord since its release, but those new to Bannerlord or even M&B have a pretty hard time following it all.
For companions and spouses, wouldn't it be easier to add a Tag column to the database so new players can filter by tags? Maybe something like "Scout", "Engineer", "Great if leveled", "Ready to use", "Great gear" or things like that? I mean, I always pick Hafisa because I want a Steward I'll level up and I want my spouse to be at the party at all times (baby factory!), but I had to explain why I find Hafisa a better pick than Phaea, with that beefy stats... And that sent us down to the "Level up" rabbit hole...
Same with weapons, tags like "Open field", "Narrow spaces", "Duels", "Multiple opponents", etc., would be great!
Anyway, I love your videos and I'm excited about the Bannerlord releases! Trying to figure out a way to welcome the new players :D
Good idea, though this might be better to post on the discord, if you didin't already. I think they mostly get the feedback from there.
That's great feedback and I've actually been working on a solution that's even easier - I have a website that's just about done and my plan is to post each guid on it's own page along with the script, data collected and some pre-filtered database screenshots! For example, like you suggested best scouts, best low level nobles, best companion for intelligence roles, etc. That way people who just want a quick and dirty answer can get it and move on, but also have the database for those who want to deep dive. Manipulating the database is no easy task - I've spent probably close to 1000 hours using Notion up to this point and I still struggle with it sometimes lol. Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to integrate as much of this as I can!
@@Strat-Guides you kinda gave me an edge on my current job interview.
They asked me if I knew how to use Notion and messing around with the data you provide was pretty much all I needed to be considered good at it lol
just got this game and i cannot possibly say how much this helped me
I'm happy to hear that! Thanks for watching :)
Its releasing me tomorrow and I'm glad to have found this video
Perfect timing! I've got a lot of topics covered, but if you get stuck on something feel free to reach out and I'll try to help!
We still have to wait till 8pm 😪
Almost there, hang on!
I am and I’m excited to watch your videos and be able to actually play with what I learned 😂
Finally the BannerGod has blessed us peasants with the gift of a new video.
Lol thanks for watching!!
Inner Mongolian warrior? Sounds like an unintended pun. Very good run down of the basics!
Lol I can assure you it wasn't intended :) Thanks for watching!
This is still the best Bannerlord Beginners' Guide on TH-cam. I just sent a couple more views your way - keep up the great work!
I really appreciate that!
Nooooooo, I've never considered that all the companions are heroes in the encyclopedia! 😭😭😭 I've wasted so many hours just hopping town to town to find companions!
Even the most experienced players can find something in this guide! Thanks, Strat!
Lol it's all good, at least now you know :)
Strat Gaming has posted a new video, this is very clearly a reference to Svana.
Svana who?
Ira
@@awuza7045 Svana based.
@@Boryang. Ira is good, but Svana is better.
@@DestroyerOfOgis svana someone in BannerLord who you can marry? I still gotta wait about 6 hours 40 minutes before I can even play the damn thing lol
Thanks for making this guide. Top quality as always!
Thank you for watching!!
Man this whole time i've been trying to play this game like Warband, but i realize this game is like a sort of more grindy and complex version of Viking Conquest in some ways. Good video.
I know this was released for us noob Xbox players that finna be playing bannerlord today
Yeah I put about 30 hours in the last 2.5 days making sure it was out in time for everyone :) Hopefully it's helpful!
Still gotta wait 9 hours and 41 mins appreciate the guide btw this will be a huge help to new players! I'm am not tho as i am very good and pro here's is my proof -----> 🌟 badge of coolness 😎👍, but In all seriousness I will treat this as the bible because I need the help as I'm shit at warband lol
I was trying to get it out a few hours before the game released in case anyone needed some tips for their start :) Feel free to hit me up if you get stuck on anything. I don't get reply notifications, but just leave a fresh comment or pop into the discord!
Thanks man, very helpful and kind of you, and a discord do you mean yours or just the bannerlord? Thanks again
@@awuza7045 That discord is my personal one for the channel, I host all of my data from each guide on there in case anyone wants it :)
alright great, and another question lol how do you get the link or something idk im not very familiar with discord
Amazing video as always! Thanks for this!
Thanks for watching!!
I really need this ! I have no idea what I’m doing but this will help ! I just got it for Series X…the learning curve is steep.
i stooped this Game two Times after having 200 tier5 troops and Not enough Money or losing many Battles where i thought i have the upper hand...Not so much fun.
When you have everything you have nothing. If you’re too good at the game I would up the difficulty and do iron man mode
Economy is often times more important than T5 troops
That's called top-stacking, and it's honestly never a good strategy. I know it's annoying to constantly have 100 units that can be upgraded, but you have to resist the urge to just cntrl-upgrade every troop. The only time it can be alright is if you're on year 30 of your game and have millions of denars.
Excellent video, all info and no bs. Well done and thank you!
Thanks for watching!!
Great video - good job!
Bought this on release but didn't put alot of hours in it since I wanted to wait for updates and more mods.
Watching this was very helpful!
Nice, glad to have you back!! It's really come a long way since then, hopefully you have fun :)
Bro thank u, this guide helped me so much
Thanks for watching! Glad to hear it was helpful :D
