- How viable is a playthrough using ONLY SHOCK TROOPS? Is there no chance against archers and horse archers? Does a shock only horde plow threw everything?
This was done without mods & on bannerlord difficulty with clan member battle deaths off.

Hey y'all! This video took a LOT longer to publish than I thought, however, using shock troops only actually made the game pretty easy after I got 100 shock troops, so I tried to put more work on Baldric story-wise (Oh i mean Balric, sorry!)
Lots of love from india🇮🇳
Please tell the best aserai armour ,head to shoes ,for my aserai gameplay , I mean it just look like it is from aserai🔥😎
What weapons should should I give to my campanions so they become medivel tanks same from your companion only video ❤️😎
The music 🎶 is better the actual music in the game
can u do only companions playthrough??
Never thought about hurting a faction by making horrible tactical "mistakes". I usually become a mercenary for whichever faction is fighting the one I want to destroy.
Yeah same never thought of it that way either.
Works wonders. Just spent a few days irl getting income from vlandia, before making several tactical 'mistakes' that took a lot of land and influence from derthert
Made a army of companion and horse archer from kazuit and then easily demolished armies 4 times mine in size, was pretty late came tho and i then just started executing their clan members
Shock troops are great until you encounter any ranged weapon^^ Or small areas like castle rooms.
I thought the very same but in my playthrough there only a few moments where I lost a lot of units due to ranged, like that narrow bridge scene against an empire faction. Most archers I fought against actually had 0 kills against me, I just used a few lines of loose formation and just charged with hundreds of shock troops, but before I would usually wait behind a hill until they got close.
I pretty much maxed two handed, athletics, polearm, (and a lot in one handed from tournaments) pretty quickly, so had a bunch of perks that increased HP of troops, reduces some damage taken, increases in movement speed, swing speed, damage, etc.
@@Mr.Chicken I often loose them in bandit hideouts. Or when the enemy has a lot of javelins.
lmao i can imagine sieges... basically need to destroy the walls
@@steffent.6477Javelins are the hard counter but fortunately 0 armies are made of just that so it works. Love using the Javelins against two handers in multiplayer since I’m trash
I think they nerfed Archers i remember before Archers was stron then i started to play now after maybe 5 months and Archers are weary weak now..@@Mr.Chicken
12:08 The dude with an army of footmen joins the horse archers. Interesting move
All to destroy the horse archers from within.
Really loved the format of your videos, especially the story guiding subtitles and immersive gameplay, keep up the good work up man!!
There is just something about the Sturgian linebreakers that make them my favorite by far.
Maybe it's that the big dane-axe looks much cooler than that spear-thing the menavs have^^
They are line breaking. So they re cooler.
I love Bannerlord, and always seem to start playing again after watching one of your videos. Great work like usual!
Yoooo insane one! I love when you make some campaign with a specific challenge. It make the game so much intresting, even after more than 1200hours, still wanna play the game. Keep it up !!!
What a gem of a video, I was entertained and glued to my seat. Please keep up the great work!
You are my favourite bannerlord youtuber. I love the humor and everything. Keep up the amazing work.
It's honestly like an event whenever you upload! Thank you so much and keep up the good work!
Love the kuzait sabotage lol, had me confused when u turned over to them for a minute then when it finally dawned on me it was amazing, good vid👍
the story and the effort in this video is fascinating ! thank you for this great content
This was fun to watch:) I respect your dedication to t-bagging the fallen NPC's
Everyone of these bannerlord challenge videos are hilarious. I applaud you for taking your time on making these. I would love a part 2, and maybe you could do these challenges with mods like Game of Thrones and the Musket era.
fr, that was one of the most entertaining videos ive ever seen, possibly even the most entertaining. I cant understand why you only have 20+k followers
Bro you are the best. You give me the inspiration and motivation to play this game. Through your companion playthrough i liked and bought the game and have know over 110 hours but not in comparison to you. i still learn from your vids. keep it up
Glad to see you are having fun!
you inspired me to start a new campaign :D great video and immersive play 👍good luck
Only video I’ll comment on keep up the good work
Love the content brother keep it coming
That was an amazing video I really thought the story was great! Please make more
did not expect to watch this entire video, nice one man
By far the funniest video about bannerlord I have seen yet.
Love your videos man
Crazy story my friend❤
Nice run with a cool story!
I'm playing a great bannerlord run right now with a friend, where they get to make every major decision for me, ( turns out stupid) lore wise my character is an idiot and illiterate so it makes sense. So now i have about 90 bandits vs half of Calradia
Loving it. I always love shock troopd
if you force the villagers to give you goods or recruits then proceed to raid them, the raid will go much faster for your quest so you can get more gold from caladog
Your video made me move back to a full infantry playthrough away from the usual cavalry charges.
Really awesome bannerlord video
another banger by the goat
Just yesterday i was thinking when you will finally be posting this😂
I love seeing all the characters fight with honor 😂 refreshing that someone still holds that in high regard
Keep up the good video
Honestly most fun I've had in this game so far was starting a new campaign and role playing as the Winged Hussars, virtually the best calvary ever fielded. I was 100% calvary and I had about 130 strong myself and I just owned the battlefield.
Loved this. I really like the comedic story telling, and the great gameplay doesn’t hurt. Do u mind posting a mod list of mods you recommend playing with? I’ve been playing vanilla and wanna try mods but I don’t know where to start and don’t want to break my game lol. Thanks
Honestly as far as I know, all the mods I use are outdated. But you can find mods on Nexus mods and see the comments on how stable they are
Nice cut 👍
Maybe I should consider more shocktroops alongside my heavy X-bows
they demolish infantry and even cavalry if you use them right.
Amazing video
I love Balric's dedication to the celebratory ritual
Can't wait for more
My favorite is the elite menavliaton (obviously) but dismounted khans guard are really cool as well
Loved the story with baldrics life
please make a campaign using only mercenary troops
This is very creative and fun to try so long as you don't fight battania.
Shock do badly against archers and Battania...
I am happy that Balric didnt sell his merc service exclusively to the Sturgian. Try join Battania (And later quit again) to obtain the "Reaper" , a Falx given by Caladog. Swift like a two handed sword and pack a punch like a greataxe. Mmm what a weapon❤
The fastest method to obtain a Falx if you are not dedicated to blacksmithing.
Another beautiful weapon in the game is Early Retirement (I don't know if that's what its name is in English), a possible tournament reward. It doesn't have a good cut like the falx, but it kills horses with one thrust if they charge at you.
@@fabf77 Early Retirement is in fact the name in English. Kind of a hilarious name.
@@samuelrussell5760 I had doubts since the translation of retirement is "Retiro", and can refer to withdrawal in Spanish. Perhaps since the company is not English speaking, there may have been a change in meaning in the translation and in fact the real name is different.
It's a bit ironic yes, since if you play without blacksmithing and you get this powerful weapon, you're going to want everything but retire haha.
W music as always
I love this game. I love making more historical armies and historic battle strats tho.
Came for the meme, stayed for the story.
This video is underrated
PLEASE bring part 2 ASAP!
i like the palace guard because they got the most drip out of any shock infantry
Your ally kicking the ladder while you're trying to climb up to safety is peak bannerlord
a shock troops only mercenary army seems surprisingly practical, since you can simply mesh into more-balanced allied NPC armies and provide specialized muscle of some sort
He was blinded in his left eye when he lost it due to an axe...And what about the two other scars you may ask? Well it all started when he lost one hand and had a replacement hook in it...
i like as a main shock troop the aserei mamalukes. they have probably the best all around 2h since it hits like a truck but i like to sprinkle some vlandians in since theirs is basically a swingable polearm great vs cavs
so nice
U should try some sort of viking palythrough with just bandit bosses and companions, fuck with every faction then crush everything with an impenetrable shieldwall
I am a dying orphan with cancer and my only wish is for you to have more subscribers. Keep it up
Shock troops are great on their linebreaking properties when mixed,or mass genocide when flanking.I personally favors the Linebreaker,because they got 20 more skill on the 2handed,and with the comically fast 2h axe that they got.
Man idk how people think this tactical about bannerlord. I always use legionnaires for infantry, elite Cataphracts for cav and fian champs as archers/ backup for the infantry if they’re getting kinda fucked, and sometimes getting khan guard. Then I just use the same hammer and anvil tactics, bringing my cav behind the enemies lines to kill the archers and make some of the infantry turn around, giving the fian easy kills, then crushing them between my infantry and cav while sending the fians perpendicular to get a better shot.
Usually ends up with some deaths but never more than 10 if I face a same size army or slightly bigger. I try to change it up sometimes but hammer and anvil is what I’m most comfortable with
@@Chadius_Thundercockhammer and anvil is extremely effective in this game to be fair but i’d definitely recommend you try some mendavillions keep them behind the shield wall by prioritizing shields then when the enemy infantry gets close extend your line and watch them slaughter everything
@@Chadius_Thundercockalso try the palatine guard they’re not fian champions (who is) but they’re extremely good and it would complete your imperial only army
Best shock infantry: unmounted khan's guard on hold fire
Do you have a short video that could show us what specific perks you chose for your run through? Also, how you made enough money to support all those shock troops?
Having a stat for how many shields your troops break would be really nice for this run
Imperial Menavliaton's are my _"Go To"_ shock troops. They absolutely slaughter everything.
he had a fire in his eyes pushing that ram
The music is better than the actual music 🎶 in the game
Mameluk Palace Guard has the coolest drip, but man, Heroic line breaker was the best
oh wait, batanian fian champion was the best shock troop
@@user-om9we2du2hfian champions are busted i’ve outlawed them and khans guard in my play throughs lmao i pick up forest bandits
I prefer the line breakers because they have the toughest armor and they just fit the viking slash shock troop role
The Legend of Balric
would love to see a cav or bow/crossbow only playthrough
think the next one will be cav only playthrough or a sequel to this one first, not sure yet
Nice video, for some reason youtube lags pretty hard on it though.
Great video, but I also just watched your bandit video and I gotta ask.. what steroids do your troops use because even being max tier my troops aren’t super soldiers like yours
14:22 You subscribed to avoid Balric's horde. I subscribed because of wholesome likeable Balric boi. We are not the same.
Again a great video & story telling. Thx for this!
Can you add the Mods + Game Version u're using?
The current beta version on steam, and no mods at all.
why is this video actually funny
It was a pretty good run
My favorite shock troop is the Aserai mamluke palace guard
my fav shock troop: Aserai Mameluke palace guard
Hmm, favorite shock troop is kind of a tie for me, I like the Sturgian line breakers' heavy armor, but am quite fond of the Battanian falxmen's falxes, favorite weapon in the game.
MORE, GODDAMMIT!
I hope again update in the future that increase the Army size
My unstoppable army 🔥🔥😎
1.Infintary: Aserai vertran infintary+Aserai palace guard(BEST JAVLIN+SHOCK TROOPS)
2.Archers: battanian fian champian
3.horse archers : khan's guard
4.cavalary:aserai
Please suggest for cavalary😅
5.new companion division 🔥
Отличный контент, стример умеет развлечь себя даже в начале игры )))
Balric kinda looks like Kratos in GoW when hes bald
May as well try it myself, just did a pure cav run. Mainly sick of the cav AI with trees.
There's just something visceral about thousands of men decked out in dozens of pounds of armor, wielding axes and heavy, chopping spears charging in line formation.
My favorite shock troop would be aserai's for sure
Its 1,2 version of the game? Great story!
fian champions is my favorite shock troops
Waiting for chapter 2 already
Svana is love
Damn I haven't played Bannerlord in months, it feels like I returned to an abandoned hall. I already miss Bannerlord.
Hopefully they fix the beta version a bit before moving on to the main branch, then you should give it a try again!
@@Mr.Chicken I will, I wonder what Bannerlord has went through while I was absent from it.
@@Mr.Chicken no matter which beta we played, sturgia will always be Stomped eh?Had my brother marry Svana . I dun wan her sleep on street because Khuzait take Tyal.. again🙏
At half of the video watched I realized he is not Baltic but Balric 😂
Can you explain how to get a steady income in this game? I can't seem to do it with 5 workshops and 3 caravans
Hey! What is the name of the soundtrack at beginning ?
So this is where that clip is from hahaha
I like Aserai Palace guards
Shock troops scare me. I was defending a seige as sturgia, and I died early in the seige. We were gonna lose because it was 1500 to 500. But my heavy axemen held the line for easily like 30 mins before we ran out of other reinforcements. They killed hundreds of people. And the fact I didn’t help at all concerns me. They will f around and find out
They’re probably the best seige troop. They one hit small enemies and 2-3 tier 5 enemies compared to the 2-4 hit tier 1-3 enemies and 4-8 hits on tier 5 from non shock troops. Making just nothing get past the ladder
Were i lost it when call him BALDric
I would enjoy it if the Falxman kept a 2h rather than the deadly but far too long polearm
Blinded by a 3 headed 2 handed axe apparently
