- It's Epic Siege Saturday!
Welcome to our Epic Siege series: These videos feature some of the most massive, chaotic and sprawling siege defenses in Bannerlord ever shown on youtube. Our hardy group of seasoned warriors will join the militia forces of various cities and castles across Calradia as we try and beat back the hordes of enemies storming the gates and scaling the walls in what should be awesome, chaotic and extremely difficult siege defenses. I have started saving a select handful of the most intense sieges from my various campaigns and side series for this series and I think they'll be entertaining as hell as we try advanced tactics and use our brains AND our brawn to thwart our enemies. Subscribe if you want to see more. My goal is to share at least one per month, but probably every Saturday for most or all of the Summer.
Sit back(or strap in), get a tasty beverage, prepare for some stress and enjoy!
Please comment, like and subscribe if you're interested in more of my ultra-late-game campaign, that may end up ending in utter despair, but that's the challenge of it. Any challenge where success is assured is no challenge at all.
My campaign is an extremely late-game campaign where I am resolved to give no peace to these scum Kingdoms attacking me - seven of the eight have been at war for years, with only Sturgia at a neutral stance. My family of warriors is now large though and with what remaining strength and valor we can must, we stand against the map of Calradia.
Join me on this adventure if you like huge battles, the use of advanced tactical maneuvers and intense Bannerlord gameplay, and subscribe to my channel if you want to follow along. This campaign is very lightly modded:
I use five to eight mods:
Reinforcement System Mod(highlighted in this video):
www.nexusmods....
Time Pass Mod: Realistic Lighting for battles and town scenes(the time CHANGES):
www.nexusmods....
RTS Mod(for better unit flag colors/overhead view and using other characters in battle):
www.nexusmods....
Immersive Battlefields:
A great mod that adds battle cries, roaring troops and more:
www.nexusmods....
Lord Retinue Uptier(Makes the enemy forces stronger, much less peasants and lower ranked troops)
www.nexusmods....
Improved AI Troops(Also makes enemy lords and their armies tougher by giving them a higher daily xp rate. This means you'll routinely face armies with HUGE numbers of the highest tier units, sometimes four or five times the normal amount in vanilla Bannerlord): www.nexusmods....
Death for all: This mod allows you to set the rate at which nobles die more often. I want both a harder challenging late-game but also a more realistic game. If you're cut down with a massive aserai two-handed axe, you shouldn't just be injured 99.9% of the time. It's a very customizable mod so you can just a little more death or set the death rate so high you get several deaths every battle. The number I often like is '10', some deaths but not a massacre of nobles...
www.nexusmods....
I also use the Dismemberment Plus Mod: It's highly customizable and works seamlessly with the new beta(and versions back to 1.28). I thoroughly recommend it if you enjoy carnage!:
steamcommunity...
I've also used Realistic Battle Mod in the past and highly recommend it for Ai and battle realism BUT I find the pace too slow for my taste and the AI is actually rather predictable after a half dozen battles. Still I wanted to put a plug in for it here, it's a GREAT mod and highly configurable. www.nexusmods....
Much of the music and inspiration for this and other videos in the channel are inspired by Epic History TV - probably THE best channel on youtube(and the internet for that matter) covering the Napoleonic wars. With amazing work Epic History TV takes you through the dramatic and incredibly story of Napoleon covering all of his most famous battles. I HIGHLY recommend it.

Remember the Alamo. Excellent entertainment as always. Great defence. The loose cannon quote comes from the navy. As I'm sure you are aware during the time of wooden ships cannons were held in place with ropes and chocks. If one came loose during a storm or battle, then it could cause a few issues, rattling around a deck. Keep these series coming!😀
Thanks for the comment and the bit of history, I find that kind of stuff fascinating and it never gets old. Glad you enjoyed brother!
Your the GOAT brother, love ur videos please keep em coming
You got it bud, it's my pleasure.
Love this brother! I absolutely always get a kick out of the enemy screaming AwwHaaHaa as if a barbarian long sword slits the center of their backside in an upward swing from glute to neck. It’s a unique sound and I genuinely crack up every time I hear it.
I know exactly the sound, ahhaha, and it makes me laugh everytime too, in fact there are 4-5 death sounds that make me laugh...
Another great and entertaining video
Stoked you enjoyed it brother and honored for people to be enjoying my work.
appreciate your vids man keep em up. Also, thank you for your 30 years of service, military has been on my mind heavily.
if you'd like to look into them, I think you'd like these mods I use:
1. Custom troop
2. Choose All culture/kingdom
1&2 let you customize and create your own custom troop trees once you are a leader of a kingdom.
3. Europe Map
it's nice conquering europe
edit: also man, keep the commentary, knowing whats going on in your head while you're trying to defend, attack, whatever its nice
Thanks - I'll have to check out the custom troops. I KNOW what I'd prefer :) Someday I'll explore vast changeful mods like Eagles rising, etc.
@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions i enjoy eagle rising, but because i always do a custom culture/kingdom i either sweep because armor stats are out balanced or i have to use lower tier armor which is no fun lol.
I've finally started being able to actually understand tactics more now and started seeing it in my own battles and pull off some pretty ok kiting the other day (as a start still pretty new) while I was moderately outnumbered and managed winning, definitely down to these videos. Just seeing that sea of green top right makes it worth it haha.
You'll just get better and better friend, and with that success, more enjoyment. Happy crushing!
Love your vids and your helpful commentary. I’ve learned a lot and I try to watch everyday. Super entertaining as well. I’m a noob and only been playing for a little over two weeks now and I’m only on my second play through, just started my first kingdom so these tactic and strategy videos help me so much. Question though, did you turn down the graphics on this particular video? And if so I’m assuming it’s so the game wouldn’t crash with such a large force fighting you? I’m a console player and I know you’re on PC so just curious.
No, if you select '4k', your video experience will be the highest quality. The lighting was strange, a sunset, twilight mix but the graphics are all shot at the highest level. Glad you're firing up Bannerlord and hope I can help!
Great video! What unit spawn prioritization do you use?
It varies but looking back on this battle I would guess I must have used homogenized because there are so many weak troops mixed in early on in the Battle.
Great episode! That's the hugest battle I've seen in the game. Great tactics to soak in!
Thanks bud I hope this series can show a lot more tactics and siege, in fact I'm confident it will!
Damn what a valiant defense! Have you tried opening the gate at the start of a siege? Definitely couldn’t close it again in this battle but it’s kinda nice cause in other defenses you can close it up to give you a lil reprieve. Also, you can destroy siege towers once they’re on the wall, looks like your archers up there took it out once if you went down to hold the gate.
Thanks! Yeah I've fiddled around a little with closing and opening the gate but not too much strategically. I know you can sometimes destroy the towers once they are up, but often times I don't have enough time!
@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions sometimes it’s a lil too much of a clusterfuck to get that gate closed back up and comes back to bite you… anyways good attempt! Would’ve gotten the W if you had maybe 100 more dudes. Love the series!
@@EricGasz69420 Thanks, I have two already processing and they are going to be pretty fun to watch, just EPIC huge battles!
Honestly i could use a demonstration of how you are use a catapult! 🤔 I don't seen one!
Working on this bud!
Nice video once again. How long did you play as a vassal before forming your own kingdom?
My own example is not a realistic one, I waited about 20 years, until my children were of age and we had 10-12 companions... I basically stalled intentionally to allow the other kingdoms to get more mature...
@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions nice I’m currently a vassal and my kids are 12 I just know as soon as I start my own kingdom all hell will break loose and I’ll get attacked by everyone
I usually do it at the 2mil mark. That’s enough to develop fiefs, pay off wars you can’t win, afford decently upgraded armies.
@@joelhall3820 Great advice.
I was just wondering (never played bannerlords, sadly😢), is there any limit on how big these battles can get?
There's a limit how many units can be on the field at the same time, usually about 2,000 but the battles themselves can be truly unlimited. Anything over 10,000 total troops those highly unusual
I just did a battle with 200 against a thousand and destroyed the enemy it was even in a massive field with nowhere to hide I lost like 20
How on Earth did you pull that off? Are you fighting very weak troops? 521 in the open is extremely difficult...
@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions at first I sat on a tiny hill and killed their cavalry then when their troops got close I sent in my infantry and my archers were shooting from above with cavalry flanking the enemy we took heavy losses to the infantry since they had so many out of like 80 I had 13 left and they were all imperial legionary’s but after that I pushed the enemy and had my archers on the side fighting what was left. Then peasants came in but retreated the second they spawned in
Had something similar, but that was with a bottle neck-bridge situation 😅
I wonder how would you do in player vs player battle with such army cus bannerlord online would be interesting for you ._.
I am less interested in pure 300 vs 300 PvP than I would be in commanding armies against other players. I'd love to pit my 500 troops vs. another players 500 with tactics. I've actually had email offers for me to join players leagues across europe, but they usually want a time commitment that my life(and wife) can't abide.
@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions i do understand that but its just cool idea
Amazing video looking forward for this series
Me too - I'm now LOOKING for siege situations in my '300' series where before I was kind of avoiding them.
have you tried the banner kings mod for better late game? you dont need the culture expanded part of it
Can this be added mid-campaign? I'll look into it.
This was awesome, Looking forward to more of this series. ~550 vs 6k this was beyond impressive. I could see you holding this with more bombs and less disobedience in your defense force. Perfect way to start the series
No doubt we'll try and improve! The enemy is arriving in hordes, so it'll be fun to try! Thanks for the comments bud.
Intens battle my friend! Just came off a medium siege myself. 600 vs 1800 southern empire. I completely decimated them by using 2 distractionary squares, and hammering them with javelins and arrows. I just created my own Asarai kingdom: “Great Egyptian Empire” currently at war with 5 factions. It’s a bloodbath (for the enemy ofcourse 😏)
That's what I like to hear my friend fellow enthusiasts applying tactics and massacring this scum enemy! LOL... Someday just probably not soon I'm going to try and aserai campaign
@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions The money is good if you hold all the Asarai towns. I generate about 20.000 profit each day, just from taxes 😅 The towns and castle layouts also feel very protectable 😅👌
@@wesselbooi Just defended an Aserai castle in a nasty siege defense and it was FUUUN (and bloody!)
@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions hahaa, the layouts are just perfect for a massacre 🫡👌
@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions I have the ‘Make calradia great again’ mod on atm. The variations on unit builds feel really cool, like the balancing system feels more real. Battanian Fians are less OP. And you can follow up to 4 different build paths for the units. No more braindead stacking armies with noble units 😅
That was a fun video to watch. You managed a 6-1 kdr. Very respectable considering a bunch of your troops are militia. You should absolutely keep that save game and revisit that battle. I'd be happy to watch you retry that battle once a week till you win. Thanks for the great content.
As much as it will be fun to try that battle again I've had so many epic sieges in the last month that I don't think I'm going to need to do that to provide really good content. Glad you enjoyed it brother. By the way I would love to see you defense with your badass group. Not sure how many you've had?
I always defend sieges by assaulting the siege camps rather than defending from inside the fief. I do have a different tactic that I used to use when I did siege defences from inside the fiefs. Maybe I'll make a video and share it soon. I should make level 59 today so it'd be a good time to make a video.
Love these videos. East sun earned here
Appreciate you mate, thanks!
I'm sure everyone would love a remach
Before that, there are other great sieges to process and share. I just had the LARGEST siege I've ever had(bigger than this one), that was unbelievable epic. Processing and sharing in the weeks to come! (And thanks!)
Thanks for the comments, friends - and I appreciate the overwhelming support and desire for you fellas to see me fight this same battle again(and command better!). I may revisit this game but I've also had three siege defenses in the past month that were of this calibur. Two were against about the same sized enemy forces and the other was an even larger force(!), so I'll be able to share original content in this series well before I rehash old challenges again. Stay tuned, mates!
Hello Master. Could you please make one episod regarding Feudal Warfare Mod? There is claim that armour was little reworked but I don't have much experience in Vanila gameplay to evaluate it.
lol, it looks like a vast and changeful mod - something I'll need some time to explore before I can properly evaluate it. That's hard to fit in with SO many other requests and campaigns ongoing. Remind me in a little while...
You didn't kill your own troop... That was a sacrifice for flawless victories!
Damn it! I'll work on that! lol
Tactical Chaos…Love it!
Not the cleanest battle, but it shows A. We lose(quite often), B. HUUUGE siege can be very hard and C. Huge siege is wonderfully chaotic...
