Actually, they can. After conquering all Calradia by one faction, it will be a brief period between the wars, when mercs...well they will probably suck at this period of time, so they lose. No wars>no money
@@DigitalImmortality Considering shes the one declaring war on other empires, and the wars turn out to have thousands of casualties each, i'd say she has alot
It is more worth it in the long run to side with the weaker faction as you have more enemies to kill and you play a crucial role in not letting one shit faction snowball
I mean, we've got the cavalry to mop the world twice in a month but out "king" sues for peace... Makes you want to raid more than a few villages on your own...
I remember playing as a mercenary so that I could preserve the balance of power. Whenever a faction started losing a war, I'd join in on the losing side then leave once a stalemate occured.
@Callum Wigley funny, I had done this a lot with the empire but the horsy bastards were the first serious threat. I finished an empire war and realised they had nearly doubled in size. Lost a lot of good mercs curbing their horse archers

I just had the flukiest thing happen in my new playthrough, I only had an army of like 40, but not even top tier guys cuz I didn't want to pay for it yet. A city rebelled, so I just swung in and took it before the kingdom could take it back. So I was only like 2 hours in when I got a city.
Holy shit this song is from that 1990s Hotwheel Racing game isn't it? This shit gets randomly stuck in my head on a loop 20 years later. Absolute legend
Last time I have this really great mercenary group, but then I wanted to build a empire, those I miss the old time but lost my save of it, now I feel like Griffith.
When they used to have the lord prisoner infinite money exploit I just put mercenaries in my castles/cities, I always thought they were ok in the field, but were always sort of underwhelming for their price and especially upkeep.
The Fian Champions really out here wiping squads by themselves, not even Cavalry seem to stand up those fuckers; it's a literal coin-toss with your life.
And then there's me. A conniving gnoblin running around with a bunch of absolute madmen I pay using the money I acquired from convincing a merchant the rusty farming tool I crafted was worth 100k gold.
When I play warband I just stick with being a mercenary until I have more renown then most kings, then I either call it a day, or start taking fiefs for myself.
@@GothicLeviathan Swadia has good knights and crossbowmen.. the issue is location.. they are in the middle making them ripe for invasion... its a tough fight.. not impossible but tough.. ideally youd work towards eliminating a border faction fully and then trying to stabilize as you will be hit hard.
@@GothicLeviathan kinda late to the party, but i can share some personal experience. at one time, when fighting as swadia mercenary, swadia declare war at every faction in calradia, including sarranid, at the same time. this means swadia need to face 5 army, 5 marshall at same time. it was chaos, the only reason why swadia not destroyed was because i join them. their lord is neither imrisoned, or army destroyed. i even need to make tradeoff,to make my army smaller than 100 so i can be mobile enough to face threat from different direction. all i can say, my renown when all this chaos begin was around +-50, when this madness end, my renown jumped up to 1000+. it was fun, but also tiring. (i drop quicksave and when i let swadia faces 5 army without my help, they only control 1 castle after 3 ingame month)
Garios recently lost most of his cities to me after i had gathered a force of more than 2000 men in my battanian province due to a war with vlandia that ended. I took the Chance since the West was weak from a previous conflict and carved down to the coast. Then garios does the unthinkable and declares war on vlandia, the second strongest faction on the map. At The same time the southern realm and aserai declare war on me. Yet the most amazing thing is still the confidence of garios to take on me and vlandia, having a combined Power of almost 30.000 men while he has like 1000 left with most of his lords in my dungeons
i wish i had a pc powerful enough to handle bannerlord, i can't wait to play it, already waited like 100 years for it to release just so my videocard breaks and i can't play it

A wonderful job my good man, hmyes, terribly amusing.

in Warband, the first kingdom being defeated is Swadia
vlandians ordering their 300 crossbowmen to skirmish in a field battle
Since mercenaries get paid jack shit, they starve enough to get abs. Checks out
