Chapter 1 was designed to be an (almost completely) immersive experience, and Chapter 2 is intended to be the complete opposite. Chapter 3 will try to be different from both of them, and I aim to use different formats and editing styles for at least the first 10 episodes. They'll be hit or miss, of course, but I'm hoping this experimentation will yield me a format that's easier to work with while still retaining some "entertainment value". Although, to be honest, I'm much more comfortable making tutorials instead of playthroughs.
For the sake of timekeeping, this video was finished on the 29th of September 2021, precisely 2 weeks after episode 1 was published. Until I simplify my editing style, weekly videos will not be possible. - เกม

Chapter 3 is coming on the 11th of November. I hope you're ready for it.
Chapter 1, in case you've not yet watched it, is here: th-cam.com/video/yCejieCkDz4/w-d-xo.html
Looking forward to it.
hope we get 5000
@@rbron9735 even if we don't, that's fine by me. Maybe I can finish 2-3 episodes before 11/11 and then take some time off. God knows I need it.
Love it, Please keep them coming
First of all, that 5k is optional. The series will continue regardless of likes, it's just going to do so at a slower pace.
Secondly, that is really not a tall order. Out of the 9500 people who watched this video so far, 57% of those are subscribers who supposedly enjoy this type of content. If every one of them took an extra second to click the button, we'd have surpassed that 5k threshold within the first 36 hours.
Third: I don't care if the video fails to reach its goal. That just means I don't have to overwork myself to upload on a weekly basis when I know for a fact it won't help the channel. And if I can finish these videos in two weeks and upload them once per month, that's 2 weeks per month that I can use to get more episodes ready, and once I have about 10 of them lined up, I can use the extra time to make videos that have a better chance of keeping the channel afloat.
Basically, this series is a train and likes are its fuel. As long as it gets fuel, the train keeps going at full speed. Otherwise, I gotta push it on the tracks to get it to its destination. You know what is a tall order? Asking me to push the train with the same speed it would have if it had fuel.
I never thought someone would one day entertain me with a video of low level mnb looter grinds! Lol. Probably the most tedious part of the game but the way you edit it and keep the story moving is flawless. 10/10
Ironically, I always wanted to play like this in the original M&B, but it was painful in that game.
@@Halcylion its so awesome!! my pc couldnt handle the huge battles so this is how i usually play 🤣🤣
Fantastic series, I really like to see the struggle because the smallest little step forward is such a huge step at this point.
That's a good way to describe it. At times, I have my doubts about using this format. I feel like talking about every detail can turn the video in a slog, but I want to show the struggle of the raider's life. These longer, detailed videos can always be trimmed down and combined into a supercharged summary, but if I keep things brief from the get go, I can't show every step any more.
@@Halcylion As somebody who has dealt with both gaming editing and real life editing, I understand the issue completely.
I think you should cut yourself some slack by upping the tempo slightly, documenting the bigger events (Say 1 in 5 fights?) and cutting videos down to 25-30m. Easier on your workflow, less time required for the viewer (Let's be honest most viewers don't have time or attention for 35+m let alone 50). The compensation would be to keep the viewer up to speed through short, brief summarized narration of what's happened off-screen.
I was hoping to see sea raider / second tier looter fights beginning by second half of this episode, but that might be personal preference. Either way, good work man, I'm sure you'll fine-tune and find a balance between workflow, pacing & gameplay time required over time.
This isn't just enjoyable Mount and Blade content, it's genuinely some of the funniest content I've seen on this website. Really great work dude.
Great content, my friend. Great content.
Thanks, I'm glad you like it!
I keep forgetting Premiere is a thing, and every time I see a Premiere a wave of disappointment washes over me as I soon realize "Oh, I cant watch it right now."
I want to see how this video performs if the premiere is set a few days in advance. I never got the opportunity to fully test this feature to its full extent, since I'd always release videos the second they were ready. This is just one of the many experiments I'll be running throughout this series.
@@Halcylion Well I hope it works I can only speak for me personally but I always hated it for the reason I said above.
As for increased viewership it seems to be a mess which is why I don't think many people use it any more.
The issue (at least last time I looked into it which granted was a long time ago so maybe they fixed it.) Was that people who watch the video during the premiere don't count as its treated more as a live stream, then once it becomes a video those who had viewed it are not counted. Which hurts the video expanding beyond your subscribers.
Either way I pray I am wrong and hope this boosts you up.
The editing timing is flawless and your an excellent story teller!
Another masterpiece, loved the obscure reference to Pete Complete, I literally just finished that series a last week and was pleasantly surprised to see a reference to it here. Can't wait for the next part, hopefully we get it soon when the video gets to the like requirement, fingers crossed.
Seeing how I take a bit of inspiration from Pete's style, I had to pay some tribute to him. :)
Love seeing the struggle honestly one of the most entertaining banner lord rpseries Ive watched
This channel is a hidden gem. Love the story, the editing, the memes, the tale itself. Really underrated. Hey, Halcylion - do you stream on twitch?
I do not stream on twitch, and seeing how big of a dumpster fire it is, I probably never will. I'll stick to youtube for the foreseeable future.
@@Halcylion so you’ll stream on YT..? ;)
Ikr? Just found this channel 2 hours ago and spent this time watching the raider video and the first episode of this series, this guy is amazing, it's 3 am and i should be sleeping, my phone is at 10% but screw it, gotta keep watching lol
"I wish there was a way to turn those two into companions" This came soooo close to the 1.6.4 update which allowed that!
Great narration, looking forward to more.
Actually, the 1.6.4 update only allows you to turn companions into lords. There's no way to turn standard troops into companions. Unless there's a mod that can do that...
@@Halcylion I think there is, I saw a reddit post with some troops turned into companions. No idea of the name though
@@Halcylion Distinguished Service if you don’t know already
I LOVE THIS SERIES!!!! Incredible narration, cut scenes, and storytelling!!!
I was waiting for this chapter for so long!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LET HYPEEE AYYYY!!
"Rendering him speechless. Because he fucking died."
hahah love your commentary.
It’s crazy that it’s far more entertaining watching a roving gang of reavers balance their daily food intake and person-to-horse ratio than most modern movies and shows
Love the bandit playstyles.
a pete complete reference was the last thing i was expecting in this video but i welcome it
Reminder set 👍
I love this series, such epic story telling!
Your channel deserves more subs!
Glad you like it! As for getting more subs... I guess Will C...
Your story line is awesome, thanks for the content !
I'm loving the series! Thank you!
I really love your narrative , it is a breath of fresh air in the Bannerlord scene
this is great and unique channel for MnB content, woah. Such effort and time put into this for our viewing pleasure. Congratulations and thank you for this!
Back with another banger! Keep up the amazing content
Was looking for this playlist, but struggeled to find it since I forgot who made it. God tier content
Your humor is pristine my dude keep up the good work
i really like the way you make a story out of it keep going with the good content
Love the bandit play style. Hope your channel gets more attention because the jokes are fantastic.
This is so comically smooth, is fantastic.
Great series, thank you for posting!
Great job on the videos, loved how you did it.
Bandit's Ballads is more entertaining than anything on Netflix! Thanks for creating this
Crazy work man. Really enjoying this format. And the game seems to be great. Because of your adventures I started warband on console.
Just a comment for the algorithm. Great video, great series, loving it, Hal!
I am glad this got recommended to me. Funny like Sseth with huge Effort in just second long clips from many games and yet somehow immersive. Keep it up
I have a long way to go before I'm as funny as Sseth, but I appreciate the compliment! :)
This is some fine work. Very refreshing
This is my only exposure to Bannerlord right now. I find myself playing Warband more. Love the work you put into these.
Your videos are great! I hope that you get the success you deserve.
Really enjoyable video, keep up the good work!!
i love these videos of yours ! keep it up mate i love it
I hit sub and donated a thumb in hopes more people will follow suit and motivate this beautiful man to release content.
I for one enjoy this series immensely, thank you for making it.
Thank you and welcome aboard!
Man, I just love these! Great work.
Glad you like'em!
Whoot! Love these episodes. THanks Hal
Thank you, Phil!
Mann I got addicted to this playtrough keep going man! :D
Just found this series and it is so entertaining, glad I got a lot more parts I can still watch
Your uploads match perfectly with my schools days off
Great video, love the style you use for them
"He pulled his hammer out and smacked my leg so hard I fainted "
Funniest quote ever thankyou brought tears to my eyes 😂😂
I will wait here for 3 days
I waited
Priceless entertainment. Thank you
The narrative is pure gold.
Halcylion, I have gotta say, it's been amazing watch your channel and skills grow. I've been here since the moment you started Bannerlord and your style and jokes are impeccable.
My jokes may be impeccable, but my ability to express gratitude is quite limited. Even so, thank you for the nice comment!
@@Halcylion Thinking on it a bit more, one of the things that I see captivates so many others in these comment sections, including me, about your channel is your storytelling. Your not just playing a game, if you where an hour video would be painful to watch. Your telling a tale and building a world the whole time which is something else. Heading to bed now, here's to hoping I wake up in a few weeks for the next vid lol
P.S. nice thinking adding GoT into Balon's backstory, it's a cool touch
Your content is awesome i love it
Great work Halcylion!
Seriously fantastic video!
LOVE THIS SERIES! As always, thank you for the fantastic videos.
Pssst. Psssst. Give a thumb token! I need my fix of Halcylion videos sooner rather than later!
Once our dear ironborn grows his powerbase, he could take on some hideouts! If successful these could provide high-quality captives, and decent loot. The 'If' is a significant factor though.
Hope to get more of this series soon, keep up your good work!
Hideout ambushes are already on Balon's list. As for when they'll happen, I can't tell.
Nice video its great to watch!
Just stumbled on your channel. You could always ESCAPE the dungeon. Never rule out the old ways, LOL ;)
Balkan humour is undefeated. Wine & poverty makes for a lot of fun lmao
your editing is amazing
Very creative and well done video.
Great fun.
Cred ca esti singurul youtuber roman la care dau click instant cand primesc o notificare sau imi apari in feed :)) Tine-o tot asa
I love this youtuber
from his accent to his humor, he is the only one i insta click notification
Plus his accent remind me my country finally isnt so horrible :'
Great work 👏
Nice Pete Complete reference at 31:51
High stakes too be sure lol.
Masterful storytelling. Hats off to Luthor Pincushion.
Saying "ironborn material" instead of "submissive&breedable" is a new part of sigma male grind mindset💯💯💯
why am I enjoying your stories more than most hollywood movies?
Well made and funny, good stuff
This is ART
Damn, being a baker sounds like an incredibly dangerous job on the iron islands 😂. I love this joke so much!!
while watching, every 10 minutes i checked if i liked the video. so well made bro
andi reliazed that the timestamp names can be a great song names
Next one should be a bit more interesting. In this one, we had enough looter fights to last us for a lifetime.
Spiked mace=Excellent tool of recruitment
Amazing
40:05 when you are at a stage when you can recall your best and exact score of Denar on a fight, such an amazing feeling
Dude pls keep up the amazing and funny content, you are going to blow up one day !!
I've already "blown up" as much as I could with Bannerlord. If I want the channel to keep growing, I'm going to have to cover other games as well. But for now, I want to finish this series for the people who got me here. :)
great content bro
I think the accent might be half the reason I enjoy these videos. 🤔😄
I look forward to these episodes just as much as waiting for new GOT eps.
This is ridiculous, 10/10
You’ve got a nice template for a certain type of video I haven’t seen on this website yet. I really like the content even though I had never heard of this game until today.
I've recently gotten quite a few comments from people saying that this is the first time they've seen this game, and that is a bit surprising... I was expecting Mount & Blade to be a highly popular franchise, seeing how it's been around for 13 years and there's been nothing like it on the market. Apparently, that's not the case. Good to know I can help make this game a bit more popular, it's certainly unique. I'm also glad to hear you enjoy my style.. let's hope it keeps improving. :)
bro i dont know whether you will read this but i love your content in general, keep it up!
I'm glad to hear it!

I'm late to the party but love the series so far!
Amazing
Your editing gets better with every video. Surprised you haven't gotten into the upper echelons of TH-cam society by now
Great video man
I absolutely love your videos sorry i couldn't be there on the whole premiere
No need to be sorry. These videos are here to be watched whenever you wish to.
This is a reminder to watch the previous episode another time
Good content hope more people watch this one
love the series
Less go baby
Fantastic
This series is very fun to watch so I hope you make more videos
You don't have to hope. Next video is already 100% complete, (and scheduled for next month) and episode 4 is 99% written and ready to enter the editing stage. :)
@@Halcylion That's awesome, Can't wait for the video drop
Reminder works. So theres that. I hope your experiments pay off! I would like to see 3 videos per day from you 🤣
This video took 2 weeks of constant work, at 10 hours per day. That's about 140 hours in total. 3 videos per day would take about 3 hours each, so that's a 98% drop in quality. No, you wouldn't like to see 3 videos per day. :D
@@Halcylion Roger that! We just need to fund you some red bulls so you can work at a breakneck pace! Lol I'm just playing though, I'm thankful for what you produce. I really enjoy your series. Thank you!
I know these video series don't get the crazy number of views that some other videos get, but by god they are fucking funny with your story telling
Love this campaign
Love it
This is a comment to help the video, good stuff
Reminder set this’ll be a nice surprise tomorrow!
I hope the wait will be worth it! :)
