+xBeau Gaming Shit, now I have to buy this game. Since I scream like that every day just in general. :O Goes without saying other people stay away from me. :(
OH! I see now, you have to scream every time you kill an enemy! I have 8 hours of nothing but me dying but once I started screaming success just came straight too me!
xBeau Gaming I can confirm this. Hundreds of hours of testing (and/or watching G Gundam) has scientifically proven that yelling increases your attack strength by a factor of several thousand.
2:07 I'm sure someone has probably mentioned this already, but even the backstory choice has an effect. Each one gives a boost to certain attributes and skills. For example, wanderlust gives a bonus of +2 agility, and +1 path-finding. This is true for all the choices during character creation. Yes, the noble choices tend to make the diplomacy game easier, but some of the other choices (veteran warrior, hunter, etc.) gives boosts to fighting and equipment.
Main Warband hints :- (mods may have different/addition hints ask I may know it or google it) - At the beginning; only put points in Strength & Agility till it's 9 & the rest in Intelligence or Charisma. - Invest points in Charisma early on , to raise Leadership skill which is VIP reduce your armies wages later. - Invest points in Intelligence early on too , to Pathfinding skill to run faster on map ( to run from stronger armies or to fast armies faster ), Tactics skill too to raise your chance of your army vs larger armies. - An army of elite troops can easily beat a 3 times army with novice troops. (small elite army move faster on map, win hard battles & better loot, mid & deserved wages, .. etc) - Upgrade archer troops & Cavalry at the beginning of game , as will help you greatly vs bandits. - Help in battles by trying to take the enemy's lord & elite/cavalry yourself , & use strategy like using your cavalry to flank enemy's archers/infantry , or can kite enemy's cavalry away from your troops at the beginning of battles (of course while riding a horse) , put archers on higher ground guarded with infantry ... etc. - Stop your troops from attacking at beginning of battles, use a strategy , let enemy come to you a weaken them with archers, order attack & retreat when needed, run around to frustrate enemy troops & take out as many, time order attack your cavalry & infantry to meet enemy at same location (more efficient & deadly), don't run yourself or your troops in front of enemy cavalry lances or will take unnecessary heavy causalities/deaths or may even loose the battle & loose moral/your troops fleeing (attack with your lance at their sides ) , defend your archers don't leave them alone , always beware your back (one cavalry lance attack may put you down) ... think & enjoy using strategy moves. - Aim to get a sword that can be used as one handed/two handed sword (like balance heavy bastard sword) to use wit or without shield, so one slot for the sword, one for a shield (preferred Huscarl's Round Shield), one slot for a bow, the last for arrows. [ preferred to replace the Bow with a Lance when facing an army with many heavy cavalry ]. - Bow are good to take enemy Defenders/Attackers in Sieges, it's fun too when saving a companion or ones of your troops while in open map battle while riding a horse (of course later can raise horse archery to make it easier & more fun). - Nomad Bow is enough & more balanced as it needs only 2 points at Power Draw skill (can add more later for addition damage bonus) ... too Bows is better than Crossbows although it's half weaker but loads a lot faster, & no need for standing still too long. - When buying weapons buy the "balanced something" ones not the "heavy something" ones as "balanced" is a faster weapon than "heavy" a bit stronger but slower weapon [ of course balanced heavy something is better if you find it ] - For Armor buy hardened ones if you have the money for it , but the normal is enough. - Always keep enough money to pay your weekly troops' wages. - Getting money: Join & Win tournaments in towns, defeat bandits then loot & sell (best loot/upgrade armor are Sea raiders at north-east of the world by the sea), invest points in Prison management skill to capture & sell slaves (just a game or so I say to myself), ask bartenders in taverns in towns about jobs & will tell you about a lord who need to hire mercenary companies (will cover 1/4 at least of your army weekly wages) & a lord who need a bandit nest elemenated (lots of loot, Lord reward money & improve Lord relation) . - Choose companions later wisely , to avoid their complain from each other & later may leave the party ... balanced in my opinion (Matheld, Rolf, Artimenner, Borcha, Marnid, Lezalit, Firentis ) no complains from that group. [companions don't die , just get wounded]. - Your wounds , Companions' wounds & wounded troops will heal by time, but can heal faster by investing points in Wound Treatment skill & waiting in friendly towns/castles. - Don't use CTRL+Space to speed map travel as you may stuck in facing stronger enemy , & it make the game process fast events that you may be in interest , & may crash the game in rare occasions. ( use it wisely & not all the time ). - Time swinging sword to hit with its tip gives more damage, can shoot arrows on a shielded enemy's legs, can arrow head shoot foes ,aim for chest of horse to damage the shielded rider & the horse (sorry horse), can strafe left or right to avoid arrows & vertical over-cut two handed weapons attacks, piercing with sword is faster than swinging & swinging is faster than vertical over-cut (but vertical over-cut is a lot stronger most of the time), heavy blunt weapons although very slow but can crush through shield & drop foes down (good for taking enemies as prisoners after a battle ... pick elite ones for better price sell at taverns' slavers). *** There's lots more good hints but that what i remember for now :)
I still remember the first time I saw this game back in 2011. It made me relive my childhood memories and gathering my childhood friends to plan "medieval wars" in our apartment complex. We had a bunch of kids that lived in that neighborhood and the environment of that complex was the perfect environment for having these "wars". Most of the kids father's were construction workers so we always fabricated our own swords and shields from scraps in their garage. We made round shields out of aluminum trash can lids. Swords were sometimes fabricated from the bottom slip where the doors slides through. Spears were made out of broom sticks with mop removed. Javelins were made of shorter broom sticks. The weapons were blunt and rule was never make anything with a sharp pointy end. It really brought out the creativity of the childrens mind and you'd be surprised how creative children are at that age. We were between 8-13 years old. The older kids in the group acted as "Nobles, captains" and only older kids fought other older kids. The rest of the gang fought like ants in the field. We had a little park in an open field and let me tell you.. that field had some major battles. Fought from 4pm - 7pm. We had night battles as well on friday nights. Now we are all in our 30s, some of us still kept in touch and we played this game back in 2011 and revisited our wars.
Always start as a vassal. If you plan to leave that faction after becoming a vassal, make sure you have good relations with the lords of that faction. This will make it easier if you plan to make your own faction because it'll be easier to persuade them to join you. Also make sure you have plenty of points into Path-Finding. Also, if you think you can manage it I suggest starting in the Kingdom of Nords and taking on a small party of Sea Raiders. You'll get great starter loot from them.
The last choice/backstory option DOES have some effect. Check wiki, it affects your starting attributes and adds a point on one of your skills. FOr example, if you picked "Lost someone you loved" you get +2 Charisma and a skill point in one of the abilities.
I remember the first fight I got into in this game was against 13 bandits, and I decided that I would fight them thinking that there was only gonna be one bandit. This was like 5 minutes after I started my first game, when you have to find 5 people for your party, so I only had the beginner stuff, but I somehow made it out alive. That experience was what taught me how to fight in this game.
PRAVENOVERLORD! Haha solid start off, explaining that first few screens of character creation in depth is really going to help some of these new guys out!
I'm new to Mount & Blade, and one time I was ambushed by looters as soon as I left the town. Naturally, I preferred fighting them over paying them off, despite the fact I was outnumbered literally 10 to 1. Wanna know how I bested them? I ran around them in circles with my horse until they ran out of stuff to throw at me, then picked them off one by one with my crossbow on drive-bys. The same tactic worked when I encountered some deserters, who had pikes and shields. Horses are very useful things!
Just Another Bystander I don't normally do this but i'm currently making a Mount & Blade Warband Native gameplay on my channel (console), I would be really appreciated if you check it out :)
Just started playing for the first time this weekend. I went from pulling my hair out trying to win three different tournaments, to joining the Nords and going to war with Swadia. I harassed some peasants, defeated a few lords in combat, and generally had a great time.
+xBeau Gaming yeah I know. the easiest way to beat them early on is to have double the amount of soldiers as the raiders do this also gets you sweet armour easly
hey man is there any way to view the combat map on console? I'm playing on ps4 I've been struggling everytime I build a fairly large army I get my ass kicked lol
+xBeau Gaming hi dude, I was wondering if you had done a video about what each of the skills did. in particular I was wondering what tactics does as it's description is rather vague. also I was wondering how I castle or towns prosperity works, specifically what increases it and allows it to stay high. thanks, i hope to hear from you soon.
This isnt a very good guide. Your not going into detail about all the stuff that might catch the eye of a new player. All your doing in this is saying, " Do this, that, kill those guys, choose this, level up." ya gotta understand that most people watching this are fresh new players to the game, not people who had some experience with it.
I have always sworn by the khergits and their cavalry. My brother used to swear by Swadia i believe. But most of the time enemies kill the horse first, so i always thought of cav as having 2 health bars lol Plus the mobility of the khergit's light and med cavalry archers is always a boon
Spud Bud except their horses suck, and their charge is crap, 80 swadian knights can take out any field army no matter the size as long as your tactics skill is high enough ...
I really feel like the Rhodoks are the best start. The Rhodok tribesmen that you'll recruit early on are only one promotion away from becoming crossbowmen and once you have even a small amount of them all the bandits in the area become trivial. Also Mountain Bandits are much less annoying than the Forest Bandits since only a few of them have ranged weapons, and those that do usually use throwing weapons with few ammo. Forest Bandits just constantly pelt you with arrows and they're a pain in the ass. Swadians are also only good for the cavalry really, but it's really deep in the promotion tree, meaning your army will suck for a while before you get to the good stuff.
Zeghart mountain bandits are the best starting exp gaining bandits, but you can move around the map, and swadian knights happen to be the best troops for killing bandits period, just get ten of them and go after the mountain bandits before eventually moving to sea raiders and tundra bandits beside rivacheg and khudan, no reason to maintain a large army until you're ready to conquer your first town, which should be your first fief to avoid hitting fief cap early with useless villages or castles, just towns....
Just really started to get into this on PC, had it for my Nvidia Shield... was thinking on making a guide of sorts. Pointless! This is the ultimate guide for starters and the rest of your guides are great. No reason for me to even bother lol.
Man I wish I could run this in 60 fps! XD I had this game for a few months now and 51 hours in and you still taught me some things I didn't even know! Seems like I was doing some things wrong! Thanks man!
+Voltage Tutorials Dude you need to drop a couple bucks since this game should be running 60 fps on a potato bud :D Glad you're having a ton of fun, and Swadian Knights for life!!!
Wasn’t expecting the screaming, watching at 3am. Least to say wife wasn’t happy rofl but this seems super helpful! I was getting super frustrated starting out and getting hit by raiders left and right constantly definitely going to follow your tips and hopefully I don’t get knocked out 100x within first week again Skol!
Praven Overlord! Great vid man. I didn't realize until tonight I even had this game. I just re-installed it via steam and I'm thankful for your vid in getting me up to snuff to start out.
Stopped watching when you didn't also explain that the starting choices have a huge influence on your starting stats/skills. You did mention on ONE of the options that if affects your starting skills like "crafting or archery", but ALL the choices matter. Like the last option...you said: "and this, this doesn't matter, it like your back story"...it does matter. You get different stat bonus/skills/weapon proficiency based on what you choose. If you don't even know about character creation, I'm not going to trust you on the rest of the information. Plus, you can't even find the "&" symbol, really?
Parker Hetzel OK think about my comment, then think about what you wrote. I have obviously played M&B (not 515 hours, but over 100) before watching this otherwise how would I have know that the starting choices affect stats and all the other details I listed. Nowhere did I state that I hadn't played before.
This is just a lets play, you don't even explain what keys you're using and the info is vague and sometimes even false. No idea why this has more views than other guides which are actually helpfull.
Not good at writing guides but: FOR FUCKS SAKE GET PATHFINDING. It'll save your ass more times than days you've been alive, and can help you catch up to faster, weaker armies that are trying to get away from you.
Jackson S yup, i take pathfinding over personal combat skills for the first few levels. then get horse and a lance with crouching build up a decent cav force and ride around wrecking people. :)
I will make a recommendation for the combat game play. Yes select the charge option (sometimes it gives you an option to hold the line. Pick that, your character will still be active in the battle). But either way, when you pick charge, immediately press "0" then "F1". This will command all troops (0) to hold position (F1). This is very effective early game or when you have weak soldiers. Because as you noticed, when the commentator attacked, the enemy was already charging, and he had a close call with no back up. If you command your troops to hold position, your men will wait for the enemy to arrive, firing missile at the enemy troops. Usually in small engagements, half the enemies will die before reaching your lines and then you and your men can finish them off quickly as a unit. This actually decreases the chance of casualties on your end, while decreasing your chance of dying early on because you were too weak and charged 5 men by yourself. This will also allow you to not have to rely on beefing up just you fighting stats early on, because if you don't charge your men will work together and be much more effective. Also if you focus more on intelligence, far more skill points to use.
I've always gone with intelligence and surgery to save my men, but then again it is extremely satisfying to dive into an army of enemies with a giant axe and be barely alive by the time your men catch up to save you.
+xBeau Gaming can you tell me the difference between M&B and M&B warband cause I thought i as getting warband but just M&B, is it just more starting choices?
+Wolfy - Scrub Tier Gaming so what is different just the storyline (or what ever comes close to one in thos game) or is it just a undated version of it
This game is complete wank I bought it on Xbox and played it for 5 hours and so far my army's been destroyed 5 times I've been taken prisoner 6 when I build an army It gets destroyed repeat
I haven’t played M&B Warband in years and kinda rusted , just recently started a new game. This is a Very helpful video to get the cobwebs out lol. Thanks..
Praven Overlord! I subscribed. This was the first video of yours that I ever watched. If the rest are as good as this one, I am glad I found your channel. Well presented and well informed on the topic in my opinion. Keep up the good work!
Praven overlord. I have been playing warband for a little while now, (not saying i didn't "help myself along") and this is a good way to start out a series or whatever on how to play.
my copy just arrived nice. Bought this of the back of your videos, cheers. Fight mechanics are incredible but also incredibly difficult to get the hang off.
I don’t normally do this but I’m currently making a Mount & Blade Warband Native gameplay on my channel, I would be really appreciated if you check it out 🙏🏽
I started my first run blind and went to Vaegirs. I built an army of 34 and leveled them all up a few times. Four days later 23 of my men were killed by 9 sea raiders.
Took on the hideout with six men right off the bat. My game is going well so far I even stream it now and then. This game holds up well and is still fun to play and I dare say I find it more entertaining in 2018 then any other recently released game
This is a helpful tip for anyone who wants to play it. THERE IS NO SHAME IN PAYING OFF GROUPS OF MOUNTAIN BANDITS, FOREST BANDITS ECT WHEN THEY SEVERELY OUTNUMBER YOU.

Main Warband hints :- (mods may have different/addition hints ask I may know it or google it)
- At the beginning; only put points in Strength & Agility till it's 9 & the rest in Intelligence or Charisma.
- Invest points in Charisma early on , to raise Leadership skill which is VIP reduce your armies wages later.
- Invest points in Intelligence early on too , to Pathfinding skill to run faster on map ( to run from stronger armies or to fast armies faster ), Tactics skill too to raise your chance of your army vs larger armies.
- An army of elite troops can easily beat a 3 times army with novice troops. (small elite army move faster on map, win hard battles & better loot, mid & deserved wages, .. etc)
- Upgrade archer troops & Cavalry at the beginning of game , as will help you greatly vs bandits.
- Help in battles by trying to take the enemy's lord & elite/cavalry yourself , & use strategy like using your cavalry to flank enemy's archers/infantry , or can kite enemy's cavalry away from your troops at the beginning of battles (of course while riding a horse) , put archers on higher ground guarded with infantry ... etc.
- Stop your troops from attacking at beginning of battles, use a strategy , let enemy come to you a weaken them with archers, order attack & retreat when needed, run around to frustrate enemy troops & take out as many, time order attack your cavalry & infantry to meet enemy at same location (more efficient & deadly), don't run yourself or your troops in front of enemy cavalry lances or will take unnecessary heavy causalities/deaths or may even loose the battle & loose moral/your troops fleeing (attack with your lance at their sides ) , defend your archers don't leave them alone , always beware your back (one cavalry lance attack may put you down) ... think & enjoy using strategy moves.
- Aim to get a sword that can be used as one handed/two handed sword (like balance heavy bastard sword) to use wit or without shield, so one slot for the sword, one for a shield (preferred Huscarl's Round Shield), one slot for a bow, the last for arrows. [ preferred to replace the Bow with a Lance when facing an army with many heavy cavalry ].
- Bow are good to take enemy Defenders/Attackers in Sieges, it's fun too when saving a companion or ones of your troops while in open map battle while riding a horse (of course later can raise horse archery to make it easier & more fun).
- Nomad Bow is enough & more balanced as it needs only 2 points at Power Draw skill (can add more later for addition damage bonus) ... too Bows is better than Crossbows although it's half weaker but loads a lot faster, & no need for standing still too long.
- When buying weapons buy the "balanced something" ones not the "heavy something" ones as "balanced" is a faster weapon than "heavy" a bit stronger but slower weapon [ of course balanced heavy something is better if you find it ]
- For Armor buy hardened ones if you have the money for it , but the normal is enough.
- Always keep enough money to pay your weekly troops' wages.
- Getting money: Join & Win tournaments in towns, defeat bandits then loot & sell (best loot/upgrade armor are Sea raiders at north-east of the world by the sea), invest points in Prison management skill to capture & sell slaves (just a game or so I say to myself), ask bartenders in taverns in towns about jobs & will tell you about a lord who need to hire mercenary companies (will cover 1/4 at least of your army weekly wages) & a lord who need a bandit nest elemenated (lots of loot, Lord reward money & improve Lord relation) .
- Choose companions later wisely , to avoid their complain from each other & later may leave the party ... balanced in my opinion (Matheld, Rolf, Artimenner, Borcha, Marnid, Lezalit, Firentis ) no complains from that group. [companions don't die , just get wounded].
- Your wounds , Companions' wounds & wounded troops will heal by time, but can heal faster by investing points in Wound Treatment skill & waiting in friendly towns/castles.
- Don't use CTRL+Space to speed map travel as you may stuck in facing stronger enemy , & it make the game process fast events that you may be in interest , & may crash the game in rare occasions. ( use it wisely & not all the time ).
- Time swinging sword to hit with its tip gives more damage, can shoot arrows on a shielded enemy's legs, can arrow head shoot foes ,aim for chest of horse to damage the shielded rider & the horse (sorry horse), can strafe left or right to avoid arrows & vertical over-cut two handed weapons attacks, piercing with sword is faster than swinging & swinging is faster than vertical over-cut (but vertical over-cut is a lot stronger most of the time), heavy blunt weapons although very slow but can crush through shield & drop foes down (good for taking enemies as prisoners after a battle ... pick elite ones for better price sell at taverns' slavers).
*** There's lots more good hints but that what i remember for now :)
thank you!
and yes, hold position!
Thanks!!
so just invest points into everything?
thanks dude, helping me in almost 2025

Always start as a vassal. If you plan to leave that faction after becoming a vassal, make sure you have good relations with the lords of that faction. This will make it easier if you plan to make your own faction because it'll be easier to persuade them to join you. Also make sure you have plenty of points into Path-Finding. Also, if you think you can manage it I suggest starting in the Kingdom of Nords and taking on a small party of Sea Raiders. You'll get great starter loot from them.

This isnt a very good guide. Your not going into detail about all the stuff that might catch the eye of a new player. All your doing in this is saying, " Do this, that, kill those guys, choose this, level up."
ya gotta understand that most people watching this are fresh new players to the game, not people who had some experience with it.
im a guy who had some experience but i dont need that guide
I have always sworn by the khergits and their cavalry. My brother used to swear by Swadia i believe.
But most of the time enemies kill the horse first, so i always thought of cav as having 2 health bars lol
Plus the mobility of the khergit's light and med cavalry archers is always a boon
Spud Bud except their horses suck, and their charge is crap, 80 swadian knights can take out any field army no matter the size as long as your tactics skill is high enough ...
I really feel like the Rhodoks are the best start. The Rhodok tribesmen that you'll recruit early on are only one promotion away from becoming crossbowmen and once you have even a small amount of them all the bandits in the area become trivial. Also Mountain Bandits are much less annoying than the Forest Bandits since only a few of them have ranged weapons, and those that do usually use throwing weapons with few ammo. Forest Bandits just constantly pelt you with arrows and they're a pain in the ass.
Swadians are also only good for the cavalry really, but it's really deep in the promotion tree, meaning your army will suck for a while before you get to the good stuff.
Zeghart mountain bandits are the best starting exp gaining bandits, but you can move around the map, and swadian knights happen to be the best troops for killing bandits period, just get ten of them and go after the mountain bandits before eventually moving to sea raiders and tundra bandits beside rivacheg and khudan, no reason to maintain a large army until you're ready to conquer your first town, which should be your first fief to avoid hitting fief cap early with useless villages or castles, just towns....
Just really started to get into this on PC, had it for my Nvidia Shield... was thinking on making a guide of sorts. Pointless! This is the ultimate guide for starters and the rest of your guides are great. No reason for me to even bother lol.
Man I wish I could run this in 60 fps! XD
I had this game for a few months now and 51 hours in and you still taught me some things I didn't even know! Seems like I was doing some things wrong! Thanks man!
+Voltage Tutorials Dude you need to drop a couple bucks since this game should be running 60 fps on a potato bud :D Glad you're having a ton of fun, and Swadian Knights for life!!!
xBeau Gaming lol i'm nord vassal >:D
But my computer is just so crap, I'm getting a new one soon though. GTX 950 :D
xBeau Gaming And fear my huscarl army!!
I have 43 troops and of the 43, 16 are huscarls :3
+Voltage Tutorials I can run this at 340 FPS, though I have it running at 120 FPS for my N-Sync monitor.
+Voltage Tutorials Don't get 950, get 970 even if u have to save a bit longer it way worth it, best card/over value imo out.
I didn't understand your name until this intro. It makes so much sense.
A VR version of this game would....be.....AWESOME
@@Testiculitis nope. Wazzat?
@@Testiculitis today sir, you made dreams come true. Lol
Wasn’t expecting the screaming, watching at 3am. Least to say wife wasn’t happy rofl but this seems super helpful! I was getting super frustrated starting out and getting hit by raiders left and right constantly definitely going to follow your tips and hopefully I don’t get knocked out 100x within first week again Skol!
Instant sub for commentary and helping me with this game.
Hermann Fegelein Instant /highfive for being awesome.
Warband has come along way they grow up soo fast.
damn cant wait till september when it comes out to PS4
And xbox
Same here - hell yeah!
2 DAYS GUYS!
So are u enjoyin' it?
@lucid defiantly
This is really a big help in the beginning, i was really struggling to get into this game and then i found these vids, thanks Beau!
Is the whole series for 10€ on steam worth it?
+Not Science yeppers
Ok
Yes I just got it and I've all ready got 5 hours of game time out of it.
Nathyn Fangsly wut
Praven Overlord! Great vid man. I didn't realize until tonight I even had this game. I just re-installed it via steam and I'm thankful for your vid in getting me up to snuff to start out.
Stopped watching when you didn't also explain that the starting choices have a huge influence on your starting stats/skills. You did mention on ONE of the options that if affects your starting skills like "crafting or archery", but ALL the choices matter. Like the last option...you said: "and this, this doesn't matter, it like your back story"...it does matter. You get different stat bonus/skills/weapon proficiency based on what you choose. If you don't even know about character creation, I'm not going to trust you on the rest of the information. Plus, you can't even find the "&" symbol, really?
+Claymore77 Well isnt it just that the options on top of the list give you easier starts? Isnt that what matters?
Parker Hetzel OK think about my comment, then think about what you wrote. I have obviously played M&B (not 515 hours, but over 100) before watching this otherwise how would I have know that the starting choices affect stats and all the other details I listed. Nowhere did I state that I hadn't played before.
In general it doesn't matter minus being a noble.
+Parker Hetzel Degenerate
+Parker Hetzel you need a ring of health
I think this might be my favorite sandbox medivial game. And this guide helps me a lot!
Thanks xbeau
All of these walkthroughs choose "Noble"
im planning on doing a playthrough as a peasant rising to king........ it is possible to rise to king right?
EazyLee Gaming It is
yes, and don't choose Noble, bad start imo. better to choose father warrior, and squire, for starting stat purposes...
Hey I found these years ago and just sent a link to a friend who is just getting into Warband now. Thanks for the great series!
Praven Overlord!
Been playing M&B for years, but...
Beau: "If you wanna see where your enemy is, push the backspace button."
Me: "WhhhHHHAAAAAATT?!?"
8:31 someones having fun ;)
Just bought this game a few days ago thank you so much for the info it was very helpful for me even after the fact you made this years ago ❤
This is just a lets play, you don't even explain what keys you're using and the info is vague and sometimes even false. No idea why this has more views than other guides which are actually helpfull.
Electromonkeyy agreed, this guy is bad, and his videos suck...
Just bought the game and gonna watch this whole series today, thanks
Not good at writing guides but:
FOR FUCKS SAKE GET PATHFINDING.
It'll save your ass more times than days you've been alive, and can help you catch up to faster, weaker armies that are trying to get away from you.
Jackson S yup, i take pathfinding over personal combat skills for the first few levels. then get horse and a lance with crouching build up a decent cav force and ride around wrecking people. :)
This came out on game pass and these videos are super helpful. Man those youtubers make it look way easier than it is lmao
How do you select the items by just clicking on them. I have to click and drag the items every time.
Hold control + click
+Tane Smith thanks that's really gonna save some time for me
+Cool Gamesty thank god I found this comment
same

I will make a recommendation for the combat game play. Yes select the charge option (sometimes it gives you an option to hold the line. Pick that, your character will still be active in the battle). But either way, when you pick charge, immediately press "0" then "F1". This will command all troops (0) to hold position (F1). This is very effective early game or when you have weak soldiers. Because as you noticed, when the commentator attacked, the enemy was already charging, and he had a close call with no back up. If you command your troops to hold position, your men will wait for the enemy to arrive, firing missile at the enemy troops. Usually in small engagements, half the enemies will die before reaching your lines and then you and your men can finish them off quickly as a unit. This actually decreases the chance of casualties on your end, while decreasing your chance of dying early on because you were too weak and charged 5 men by yourself. This will also allow you to not have to rely on beefing up just you fighting stats early on, because if you don't charge your men will work together and be much more effective. Also if you focus more on intelligence, far more skill points to use.
Step 1. Turn on cheats.
Step 2. Turn off cheats
Step 3.???????
turn cheats back on
+Pukeyi step 4 : ctrl + x in inventory menu
+Pukeyi
Alt+4.... uninstall.
I've always gone with intelligence and surgery to save my men, but then again it is extremely satisfying to dive into an army of enemies with a giant axe and be barely alive by the time your men catch up to save you.
Praven Overlord!!!!
+rafael68165 got a new subscriber
I started playing it on PS5 and god there is such a learning curve to this game
how am i the only comment wtf
+AfienceLoop Don't worry, there are lots more.
must be my computer then hahah
+xBeau Gaming can you tell me the difference between M&B and M&B warband cause I thought i as getting warband but just M&B, is it just more starting choices?
+Wolfy - Scrub Tier Gaming so what is different just the storyline (or what ever comes close to one in thos game) or is it just a undated version of it
+Wolfy - Scrub Tier Gaming ok thanks
Those reactions though. I'm in tears.
Yelling got on my nerves. Not gonna finish. Disliking.
I love watching this guy even though I forgot half his tips I beat army's with 150 people when I only have 28 thanks to him
This game is complete wank I bought it on Xbox and played it for 5 hours and so far my army's been destroyed 5 times I've been taken prisoner 6 when I build an army It gets destroyed repeat

Trashcan
Thank you PRAVEN OVERLOOORD, Game felt a bit overwhelming at the start but a few tips like this really help
I'm a few videos in now progress wise, your guide is really good, thanks buddy!
Pravan Overlord!! Thanks so much man!
I haven’t played M&B Warband in years and kinda rusted , just recently started a new game. This is a Very helpful video to get the cobwebs out lol. Thanks..
this was really helpful! I got the game on Xbox one and wasn't sure what to do, your videos really helped
"Scream loud when killing people because otherwise you don't have any Viking-core energy"
10/10 commentary XD
Praven Overlord! I subscribed. This was the first video of yours that I ever watched. If the rest are as good as this one, I am glad I found your channel. Well presented and well informed on the topic in my opinion. Keep up the good work!
Got this on Xbox one about a week ago and I love it, it's so good I love the political aspect of it and the challenging combat.
even after 9 years LoL still help a lot for someone wanting to buy MB Warband THX👍
loved the video buddy ive played this game a while back, now started again, trying to get familiar again cuz its been a while
Thanks so much for the guide I've been watching the vids over and over. There very helpful and your great at explaining things!
Praven overlord. I have been playing warband for a little while now, (not saying i didn't "help myself along") and this is a good way to start out a series or whatever on how to play.
Praven overlord my dude. Been playing the game forever but never really had any strats. Imma binge these videos real quick XD
I’ve done it twice now and this guide helped me learn a lot thanks for ur help
just got it on ps4, man its one the hardest unforgiving games ive played but ilike it. thanks for the much needed tips
Screaming while blood flies from my sword really works! Thank you
my copy just arrived nice. Bought this of the back of your videos, cheers. Fight mechanics are incredible but also incredibly difficult to get the hang off.
Thanks I literally just bought this game
I don’t normally do this but I’m currently making a Mount & Blade Warband Native gameplay on my channel, I would be really appreciated if you check it out 🙏🏽
I started my first run blind and went to Vaegirs. I built an army of 34 and leveled them all up a few times. Four days later 23 of my men were killed by 9 sea raiders.
Took on the hideout with six men right off the bat. My game is going well so far I even stream it now and then. This game holds up well and is still fun to play and I dare say I find it more entertaining in 2018 then any other recently released game
Proven Overlord! Got this game last night and really grateful for the good tutorial
Praven Overlord!!! Lol Thanks for the video. Just now getting into this game.
Hilarious commentary and great advice thanks xBeau!
I have an ungodly number of hours in the game but I still love watching these new player guides. Do you think you could do one for Rimworld?
In the words of the Hound, "Put your bow down girl".
Praven Overlord! I picked this up from GoG for less than $7 the other day. Can't wait to get home and play it.
"Praven Overmind!" xD Hope i'll enjoy the serie's and learn a thing or 2!
All praises to the Praven Overlord, for his grace proceeds him
Praven overloard !!! Thanks for this man you rock
I know that's its been a while but PRAVEN OVERLORD!!! I had a great time, thank you.
