    One thing to keep in mind is that there are some perks that give some significant wage reduction to mercenaries specifically, and they stack with the general wage deduction perks. If you get all of these perks you can actually end up paying a negative wage to mercenaries (or they pay you to fight for you). Pretty hilarious although it does require you take specific perks in a bunch of different skills to pull off.

      The Fouberie mod implements it fairly well, you can purchase the culture's minor clans at tavern districts in cities with that culture (e.g. hiring Legion of the Betrayed at any Empire culture town), and are about as expensive as mercenaries so it's not OP to recoup losses

    One extra note, the gallant sword sisters don't require a mount to upgrade to mounted, this actually makes them actually a cheaper option for a troop that would generally require a war horse in a lot of cases, the extra 6 gold a day will take a while to equal the cost of a war horse.
    If you want ranged cav, but are in the north western parts of the map, I think they are worth investing in.
    My use of mercenaries are generally to fill a particular gap. They never are as bad as recruits are at fighting so if I was recently defeated I will pick up some mercenaries which will serve as the initial core of my army while I level up the more traditional troops. They enable me to take fights I couldn't with 20 or so largely recruits against the different bandit factions and to start the chain of leveling up those recruits faster. I will typically use my own garrisons for this sort of thing if they are in the area, but I will spend gold to reach the point where I can be doing bigger better things faster.
    Eventually, I fire them when I'm at max troops again. I don't want them in my like final composition, but they are good tools to help you reach that final composition faster IMO.

    @teambellavsteamalice ปีที่แล้ว +24

    Ideal to give to your companion parties. If you have them as an army, they often give away troops to garrisons. By giving them "junk troops" you lose fewer of your faves. If you are on a long military campaign (and rely on recruitment from prisoners a lot) you can also bolster AI armies that took heavy losses.
    While I did collect 200+ Sword Sisters in warband for funsies, I considered mercenaries overpriced emergency troops and mostly ignored em in Bannerlord.

    I also liked to keep my troop roster clean and short, not filled with ones and twos of random subpar troops or caravan guards that don't upgrade.

    Actually, here's a way to get Caravan Guards (and Veterans, and Bosses, and Traders) *without* attacking Caravans (or hiring via the tavern place) - trail behind a caravan for a bit, and wait until it gets jumped, and beaten, by Bandits. Then, attack the weakened bandits, beat them, and "rescue" the prisoners - the guards and such that are still around. A similar tactic works for "recruiting" troops of minor factions - oh, and the Leader will thank you for rescuing them.

We've generally got good aim, and steady hands...theoretically from nuances in our bodies' upper torso circulatory system. Women can go unnoticed in crowds, and undetected, mainly, through lack of suspicion in urban situations. They're great unexpected smugglers, poisoners, spies, assassins. While there will always be Joan of Arcs, Boudicas, and the enraged fed-up that take up arms - an expanded Rougery system that had many important female elements would be the most probable and interesting use for females.

Same for the army of poachers and even for the deserters. not bad in a shield wall on the open battlefield and again, a really high rate of getting prisoners.

    51:15 now that you’re mentioning camels I think they are the only creatures/anything that makes me feel bad in this game. When they’re trotting around in the desert getting arrows swamped on them. The way they run alone looks funny in the distance. Then their ex Master dies to the ground and they’re just roaming around as sheer terror continues to rain upon the rest of his fellow Comrades 😢😂

    A downside to the veteran caravan guards compared to the cavalry of the same tier is that they have little to no horse armor
    For the lake rats, I also like that they have javelins rather than axes to throw. Mostly because javelins generally have bigger stacks.
    The pole arm skill might be so they could, in theory, use a javelin as a spear. Not that they ever do.

    Is it possible for you to review B.A.R.D Troops overall he just got done with all the faction just not the bandits or the minor Clan troops but is a good overall in my opinion.

    Why did I not watch this before I indulged into my sociopathic tendencies and executed every single one of these... I noticed the relation loses, but I did not give a damn. I was the necessary evil that we needed. These fellas just attack farmers that want to give us bread, milk and the like.
    Honest work for honest pay,
    but there's a minor faction in this farmers way.
    I gotta get him and play,
    a sweet Chopin song,
    to say, so long.
    It all started with...
    One guy interrupted me while I was trying to just buy horses. I was minding my own business and there he was. Eltheroare or whatever the name. Their leader. I hid in the trees and won even though outnumbered. I was celebrating like crazy and even accidentally clicked on making peace with him, but after realizing how stubborn he was to not even accept peace I executed him.
    Do not interrupt me while I am doing my choirs. Super annoying, why? I am one foot before the castle door. Just let me buy freaking horses!

    It would be cool of they let you customize units when you start a kingdom select a preexisting unit and have your own noble line, infantryman, ect unique to your kingdom to balance it I'd say make them cost more the better gear you put on them its a thought anyway and I'd it would make you feel more invested in your kingdom

  • @teambellavsteamalice
    @teambellavsteamalice ปีที่แล้ว +1

    What mods do you know that currently work that modify troop rosters?
    Jackie Fish made a video on the mod My Little Warband, that allows you to have your own personal troop tree. I don't think it allows you to change the other rosters and where the players sees their troops as recruitable, the AI sees normal troops. (not 100% sure)
    I saw a mod that allows alternate rosters to be loaded for modders (ATC something?), and a fragile looking mod that changed xml files to be loaded and save file versions in a different folder that should work but had a bunch of disclaimers about crashes. Iirc you needed to be in your own kingdom?
    While it's so much better now, having game content like troops and their rosters as loadable files would be awesome. But tweaking risks making something unintentionally OP, so a balanced and playtested community fixed faction and minor faction list would be even better. I'm surprised I didn't find anything like that, did I just miss it?

    Top speed of 44, 200 health...abysmal, 22 charge damage. What good is their polearm skill - if they charge with the speed and force of a bicycle?

    @mathiashansen9108 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    After watching this i'm wondering if it's even worth it to recruit specialized units? Like Pikes for a frontline, skirmishers to flank etc. I know how to group it up but the scrolling thing is bad since you have to spend so much time getting the right units in each special group and then some die and you have to do it all over again.

    • @lordbiscuitthetossable5352
      @lordbiscuitthetossable5352 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Generally, not really unless I either have a lot of time between wars (in which chase, I don't mind taking a little extra time building up a large compliment of them) or I already have a lot of elite units and I need something to patch up where I'm lacking. Generally, though? Not really, I never feel I can obtain enough of them to make a huge difference, but usually if I'm struggling to come across something more reliably, I might hire some mercs on the campaign trail.
      like, I used to pick up hired swords (or whatever they were called) and used them as legionaries. Certainly, sounds like mercs have some real nice fringe benefits that might sometimes be useful.

    • @mathiashansen9108
      @mathiashansen9108 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@lordbiscuitthetossable5352 I would love to have a line of Pikes in the front backed up by stuff like Falxmen and then skirmiskers to flank. Lot's of groupes but I feel like if they changed it to so when you select a melee group and prioritize skirmishers you ONLY drag units with some kind of ranged weapon. Would make it so much more relaiable and I would for sure recruit mercs. I tend to always end up with Imperial melee core since it's just so damn strong.

      No. The only way that can happen is if they are currently hired by a major faction as a merc. Then if you start the fight, you accidentally declare war on the main faction. Just make sure you read their pop up bubble before attacking.
