Just a quick QOL tip for anyone else new and watching this, when you reach the town where your desired wanderer is chilling, you can just tap the tavern tab, and then the wanderers portrait at the top of the interface allowing you to speak to them without manually entering the tavern. (The same works when accepting quests etc) Nothing major but saves a little time.
Nice one dude, just got it on console. However, my sibling has just come of age and i can't find her anywhere. She's never where the encyclopedia says she is. Any tips?
@@joshuaperry7199 check your clan tab bro, there's a family tab which is where you'll find your siblings. You can call them to your party from there also.
@@rellik8killer for sure man, this game just seems to drop you in on the assumption you already know what you're doing. Still learning new things myself and I've been playing regularly since launch for console.
Scouting is hands down more important than trading when forming a caravan. Keeping your parties alive and making small amounts of Passive money > constantly paying 15K to reset
Just so you understand, scouting levels up 10x as fast as trading so it's actually better to have somebody with a higher trade initially to generate more income. That's what I found in testing both anywsy
Early game - 1) if you join a kingdom, no amount of riding/scouting/tactics/etc. will save your caravan if they get attacked by an enemy party. They have 50-100+ troops, your caravan of 30 will not survive (I have tested with god like caravan leaders (375+ in all skills and they still get captured). 2) you don't join a kingdom and your caravans are free to roam. Bandits and looters can be an issue if you are unlucky. But I've used crappy caravan leaders (2 in social, and 1 point in trade, 2 in cunning and 1 in scouting), and they lasted until I joined a kingdom. All people really need to know is your caravan leader will gain lots of scouting, some trade, and little riding/athletics skill. You decide from there. Trade skills gives a "little" more profit ( depending on any big difference). Mid/Late game: good luck. Only the luckiest will survive. Be prepared for your caravans to get captured.
@@tdotfun that's what I've found as well. Caravans become useless mid to late game once you start getting involved in wars. I wish they would have caravan AI avoid passing through enemy regions. Why would your caravan leader decide to make a death run through enemy territory? Maybe a mod will do this.
@@Fordragon how does one make money mid/late game? Like, workshops are not usually good, and if caravans are just messed up, then are you forced to join a kingdom or something?
@@Gamerguy_69420 it becomes a balancing act. Have a few towns for tax income. Have a big enough garrison for a decent security rating but don't get carried away or it eats up your tax revenue. Have some workshops to pad the pocketbook. They aren't great, but can net you a few hundred each, so it helps. Even so, my game always reaches a point where I need to be in constant war to not have a budget deficit. War is super profitable for several reasons, and there are perks to make wars even more lucrative. Then there's cheesing the smithing mechanic. There are plenty of guides on that.
I bought this game on release for the Xbox but quickly felt overwhelmed and did not spend more than an hour before quitting. Since watching these videos this game has become one my favourite games of the last few years. Thanks for taking the time to put them together they are fantastic.
Same but soo far I have been slowly grinding by raiding bandit hideouts, finding looters, best quest to do is caravan escort and caravan ambush quest along with poacher quests!! Sitting at 78k with a 115 army! Just keep going my man
Got over the overwhelming stage of warband and played that game for years, still managed to find it a struggle when starting this one so trust me, even returning players have this issue 😂🤦♂️
Never take nomadic traditions over fill to brim, they hardly ever get horses enough to even get .1 more speed but the fill to brim perk gives bout 10% better deal on on buying and selling all horses 75 trade "local connection" is more important since horses count as animals and your caravans deal with them a lot. With insurance plans you get the 5K back even if you disband the caravan. Scouting is a trap most people don't realize that your caravans hardly ever avoid enemies as TW hasn't coded them properly
What I did to make loads of money was: - ignore the complex economy system, -go to war, -capture many lords, -take them to a town I own and ransom them at the tavern, -then take them out of the prison and ransom them again over and over until I have millions of denars. Such a good exploit.
Yesss, I just clicked on the video didn't see who it was from and I was like...why does this voice sound so familiar... and it said eso.. I was like ahhhhh shit!!!! This dude rocks
yeah ai is still kinda dumb, either they keep running away leading you to also make no money cuz they never sell anything, or they lose to some searaiders lol
So just a heads up, the names and look of the wanderers are random each game but the skills are tied to the name, so a spice or swift is always a good caravan regardless of the faction they are from
He definitely makes some quality guides... however, if you want the most detailed and analytical guides, then STRAT GAMING is your best bet. Just for clarification, I've found there to be at least 4 TH-camrs who regularly make good video-guides for Bannerlord. There are a few others I watch on occasion as well.
I played Mount and Blade on PC nearly a decade ago. Had pretty much all the map conquered and squared. This new mount and blade 2 banner lord is very similar but just a bit more intricate as far as lords and war go, but gonna free ball it as a mercenary this time.😊
Playing in bannerlord difficulty and only having 1 save slot option, i found out the hard way(became the bandits bitch for too long in early game) , that the best way to grow was doing tournaments. You get high tier gear and mounts, plus there is a perk to double clan points. Also, since you cant ride those mounts yet, because at start your riding is low, you can sell them between 7k to 17k depending on the mount. Another thing you can do is getting married. Helps because the spouse comes with high tier gear. Buuuut, dont strip her naked if not for making babies, if she has good fighting skills and is in your party, also your companions, they participate in the tournament as well, so you increase the chances one of you wins the item. At start was the wife who won me several tournaments. Silvind god saved my character from poverty.
So I'd prioritize higher scouting over trade when picking the companion for the caravan, it lessens the chance of them being caught from the get go thus allowing your caravan to continue and boost its trade skill without interruption. Also being a merc is beneficial if you don't have that negotiation perk, it affords you the ability to leave the kingdom without ramifications and effectively make peace yourself should a war breakout and your caravans are at risk. Another thing to note is with high scouting you wont need to invest in that up armored caravan, since their engagement chance is dramatically lessened thus saving you some startup costs, playing as a Aserai also makes it a fraction of the cost.
So the best people to acquire have “The Swift” and “The Spicevendor” don’t worry about scouting too much as they will go up around 5-10 per day going around the map
One thing I find helpful is to put a star on them in the Encyclopedia since it can take some time to round them up, and that makes it easier to keep track of the ones to hire.
Really cool to see some Bannerlord content! When I was big into Skyrim and well, ESO (lol) I absolutely loved your videos! So many of your guides helped me out then, so it's nice to see you on my feed again. :)
Sorry but anyone who has played bannerlord knows that early game you may get a few bucks, but once you make enemies and start having wars which is 24/7 after your first half a dozen hours then your caravans will get raped. Costing more than they are making.
I didn't know that the better caravans were not worth it, ill stop buying them, i guess that the only time you would want to buy it is if your at war with several factions and you need them to survive for a bit
Caravan guard aren't infantry, they're cavalry. Mounted infantry means having infantry (say imperial legionary) with a speed type horse in your inventory, which makes the game count that guy as riding whilst your party moves.
I did the same thing! Most would make the brother a quarter master but I didn’t want to rely on him for that job in case he got captured. He makes a ton of money with the caravan!
Another good way to make money is to capture lords your at war with and sell them and the other prisoners you capture! Also you will loot quite good amounts of high value items when defeating them so sell those aswell between the selling the prisoners and selling the items you can make a good 10k each time
I have so many fiefs and castles to where i cant see my income anymore... some how im losing 50k a day and i cant fix it because i cant see all of my profits and losses
"Most caravans would survive upwards of 5 years" lmfao you must have literal warlords leading that caravan cause everytime there is a war any where on the map I'll get atleast 2 or 3 captured
4:02 Quick note: skills for wanderers are NOT randomized. Each title (“the Spicevendor”, “The Scholar”, etc.) has specific skills that carry into each game. What changes is which of these show up in a game, their names, their morals, their cultures, etc.
Hate to be that guy but you probably forgot that there is only 84 days per year in the game so your estimate of 92k profit per year is a incorrect. The correct estimate would be around 21k.
I am 100 plus hours in. Mid campaign and just learned you can spec out your companions and family with perk points 😂😂😂 that will change everything. Thanks ESO.
You need also to consider the troops the caravan will have. I find our that the Battanian ones are better. As the fights will auto-resolve and only the tier of troop matter it will not matter much but if you help a caravan in a bandit fight it will matter. Try to have a caravan with more cavalry if possible. Save and try with different shop owners etc. you may get a better caravan so with more cavalry troops in the composition. Also buy the best and the most expensive caravan from the start as it will be a longer caravan and will rarely be attacked. Regarding 'the base caravan' : they will be replaced if they are fighting and the troops slots are again free. So if they lose 3 troop they get 3 normal troops. But that is ok. They fought -> the caravan was saved and will fight another day...with replacement troops.
I did hired more expensive caravan version only to ended up disbanding it because only losed big amount of money. This was damn pretty (un)profitable. I dont get it. Well, maybe my companion is thief and was robbing me all the time ... 😆
just grind looters and tournaments then when you reach clan tier 2, join a kingdom as a vassal and build up influence, this will help you get towns and castles easier, then boom, no need for caravans
Trader lvl 300 is overpowered. You can literally buy land and no one will ever attack you if you are not a vassal or create a kingdom. But it's a grind to get it to 300. It basically turns the game into a caravan simulator.
Pro Tip (for anyone watching this recently like me): They changed companions in this game at some point because you can no longer choose all of their "stats/perks" starting from 0. They instead will be auto chosen based on how old they are and how much they've done.
I'm having problems with my encyclopaedia. Unless i've met the person their skills won't show up. Do I have to add a mod or something for all the available wanderers to have their skills revealed at the start of the game? If i haven't met them theirstats are just greyed out and their skills are just "???"
Ahhhh shit!!! Right so ive been waiting for my sibling to come of age as i had been following your instructions on the best stats for a caravan. I got her all prepared but I couldn't find her anywhere as she was never in the place where the encyclopedia said she was. Getting frustrated as i thought it was a bug i ended up marrying her off as i thought my efforts were wasted. . . . So all I had to do was press recall? . . .
Fun fact: companion's title define their best traits. if trade's what you seek, seek out companion whose titles goes with "cowthief", "horsethief", "eagle eye", "swift", "golden" or "spicevendor". Especially "spicevendor" because they are the highest tier trader, the best companion for caravan
So, this is not true. You can’t just enter the encyclopedia & get every info on every single character UNLESS you have met them first to know which character gets which attributes. So I better warn people : if you wanna invest in some caravans, just pick the 1st guy with trade attribute (through rumors at the tavern) & go with it. Unless you wanna spend months to go to see every character by yourself on the map (knowing that some will die, some will appear, RNG stuff)
It's was 696 not 669 on your 3rd caravan after a month lol I do that all the time when reading number I do construction so I always have to triple check myself 😂
Yeah sure you only suffer for 10h+ before having the cash for that i work on peace trade yeah im rich but 5 real days of life farming money from arena just to start caravan it the most boring gameplay i did you can't fight or the enemy will kill all caravan for 10 caravan i get 5,600$ every day you actually need to trade your self if you want to level up trade take for ever sell green that it have fun
ESO, Thank you for this work and information, I've been watching you since your excitement about Kingdom Come: Deliverance made me find the channel. NOW I KNOW HOW CARAVANS WORK I WILL TAKE OVER CALRADIA
How do you manage the inventory of others, like family and companions? I have just started playing this game with the latest version. Unfortunately, I can only manage my own character inventory. Please help me out. Thanks.
I feel like this more towards a mercenary/trader play through. You can make just as much money owning towns and castles on a commander/lord type play through. I learned the hardway not to just get followers for caravanning if you want to use them as Governors. The culture thing is a bitch with loyalty.
Dang, seeing this guide video makes me think how complex the AI could be.... I mean, the trade aspect itself needs so much to think about like how the AI buy/takes and sells goods, the price management of the AI, and what the trade skill level affects in trading. Not to mention how they manage the trade rumours (Best city to trade) which you can ask for yourself when talking to them, and the power calculating system when travelling (Which they use either to avoid or engage another party).
You must be like super insanely lucky since my caravans last a month max and are completely not worth it. Just had a caravan with Cowthief get destroyed in a day.
your party wages at 117 means you have almost no men with you. can i infer that you are also not acting as a mercenary while being caravan master, to avoid hostile lands for the trade?
so would it matter what city/empire you start your Caravan from or just any of them? would starting one with one faction increase your reputation with them or it dosent matter?
What I did to choose my companions that did caravans were I chose the ones that had good trading skills there’s like 4 or 5 in total I chose them and made them have a party and I went to war with them leveled up a bunch of different perks and gave them armor for free cause it was loot and they usually are able to hold their own when they go caravaning
Can someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure there’s two perks that allow you to collect renown off of caravans, so can’t you double it up and get 10 renown a day?
Have 50k dinars. Create 22k caravan. Get 500 daily income. 4 days later kingdom declare war. Caravan gone 👍
Bro.....
Kinda accurate. Don't join any kingdom though
Not until they have like 150 scouting plus
I have 12 different caravans and usually when I wage war I lose like 1-5 caravans maybe more if the war is long.

Scouting is far better than trade skills. As with strong scouting they never die the trade goes up over time.

@@rellik8killer noted, cheers buddy. Ive learned for next time when i play as the Sturgians.
Fun fact: companion's title define their best traits. if trade's what you seek, seek out companion whose titles goes with "cowthief", "horsethief", "eagle eye", "swift", "golden" or "spicevendor". Especially "spicevendor" because they are the highest tier trader, the best companion for caravan
Man this is good content on this game thank you so much
Or you can just do smithing for half a year and make millions in a few days
So, this is not true. You can’t just enter the encyclopedia & get every info on every single character UNLESS you have met them first to know which character gets which attributes.
So I better warn people : if you wanna invest in some caravans, just pick the 1st guy with trade attribute (through rumors at the tavern) & go with it. Unless you wanna spend months to go to see every character by yourself on the map (knowing that some will die, some will appear, RNG stuff)
has anything changed about those so far?

It's was 696 not 669 on your 3rd caravan after a month lol I do that all the time when reading number I do construction so I always have to triple check myself 😂
So you have to meet each individual character before you can see their stats? In my codex they all say ??? Except the few I’ve met. What gives?
im definatly gonna buy this game if it goes on sale soon
well did you get it?
Yeah sure you only suffer for 10h+ before having the cash for that i work on peace trade yeah im rich but 5 real days of life farming money from arena just to start caravan it the most boring gameplay i did you can't fight or the enemy will kill all caravan for 10 caravan i get 5,600$ every day you actually need to trade your self if you want to level up trade take for ever sell green that it have fun
ESO, Thank you for this work and information, I've been watching you since your excitement about Kingdom Come: Deliverance made me find the channel. NOW I KNOW HOW CARAVANS WORK I WILL TAKE OVER CALRADIA
How do you manage the inventory of others, like family and companions? I have just started playing this game with the latest version. Unfortunately, I can only manage my own character inventory. Please help me out. Thanks.
This game is awesome! Since I can't find a C&C red alert or dune game for my PS4 5 Banner Lord takes the pie. AND TO Sir, Great job. 😎
I feel like this more towards a mercenary/trader play through. You can make just as much money owning towns and castles on a commander/lord type play through. I learned the hardway not to just get followers for caravanning if you want to use them as Governors. The culture thing is a bitch with loyalty.
Good work as always boss 🙏🏾
Dang, seeing this guide video makes me think how complex the AI could be.... I mean, the trade aspect itself needs so much to think about like how the AI buy/takes and sells goods, the price management of the AI, and what the trade skill level affects in trading.
Not to mention how they manage the trade rumours (Best city to trade) which you can ask for yourself when talking to them, and the power calculating system when travelling (Which they use either to avoid or engage another party).
also u could go to wiki page with companion suffixes and get right suffix with skills u want, so u don't have to "scroll them down" =)
You must be like super insanely lucky since my caravans last a month max and are completely not worth it. Just had a caravan with Cowthief get destroyed in a day.
It's so handy having your caravan leaders earning xp in relevant skills why don't governors do the same? It makes no sense.
your party wages at 117 means you have almost no men with you. can i infer that you are also not acting as a mercenary while being caravan master, to avoid hostile lands for the trade?
My caravan do a first caravan 2000 , second 1042,and third close 900-1100. Per day,u need a 160 and more trader perk
Hey chef u played the 1st one who's the big Unga bunga berserker boi at? Or tall troops in general lmao? Besides mounted troops
I did all this, found a really great companion, and no more then 3 days he was captured, can I rescue my companion at least?
Mr.beast does the best bannerlord videos imo . I just can't tell if he is really British or American?
so would it matter what city/empire you start your Caravan from or just any of them? would starting one with one faction increase your reputation with them or it dosent matter?
What I did to choose my companions that did caravans were I chose the ones that had good trading skills there’s like 4 or 5 in total I chose them and made them have a party and I went to war with them leveled up a bunch of different perks and gave them armor for free cause it was loot and they usually are able to hold their own when they go caravaning
My caravan stand like not even 1 month, how dis tout do for stanf more than 4 years ???!
Can someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure there’s two perks that allow you to collect renown off of caravans, so can’t you double it up and get 10 renown a day?
Holy fuck never knew previous page allowed you to page through like that always thought it just took you back to the list screen lol
Hello, can you tell me why they don't give me every castle that I conquer, I only have five castles
