Beta Mod Release - Hold the Line: Infantry AI - No more moshpit

Hi all!! A few weeks ago I asked here how you wanted your infantry to fight ( old post ). The top answer by far was "make them hold the line", so that's what I built. It was called Better Infantry AI back then, now it's Hold the Line , and it's out as a beta. Available in Nexus Mods. What it does: No more moshpit: soldiers keep their place in the line and step in and back a little instead of turning into one big blob. AI formations that make contact switch to a charge, so both sides fight the same way. Shields in the front rank: shield and spear first, then other shields, then spears and pikes, then everyone else. Works in shield walls too. No more falxmen eating javelins and arrows in the front while the shield guys wait in the back. Rear ranks fight with spears: the second rank thrusts past the guy in front instead of hitting their back and getting stunned. AI spearmen also keep the spear out more instead of always pulling the sidearm. Deep format...

Calradic Campaign #22 - Battle in the Snow

War has returned to the north once again.

/u/Smug_Alpaca has returned. After finding his kingdom in ruins because of a failed campaign in Swadia, he has ordered an attack on the longstanding enemy of his people – the Vaegirs. He hopes to claim the “Rock of Rivacheg” – a fortress that the Nords have been unable to take in the past in order to regain the honour of his crown.

u/Saultnami, the acting king of the Vaegirs, has learned of the attack through a network of spies and rallied his armies and those of his allies to defend Rivacheg. Should he be successful, the Vaegirs will rush to claim the undefended city of Wercheg.

Smug knows he needs a victory in war to legitimize this claim and is launching a naval assault in an attempt to catch the Vaegirs off guard. The Vaegirs are prepared to defend Rivacheg to the last man. Both sides expect a bloody brawl in the streets.

In Meta Terms

Welcome to the 22nd Calradic Campaign! This event will see the Vaegirs holding off an attack by the Nords. If the Nords attack is successful, they will be able to conquer and Bulugha Castle and Rivacheg. If the Vaegirs manage to hold the line, they will expand their empire with Wercheg and Alburq Castle.

This event will be running the Conquest gamemode. Here are the rules.

  • There are multiple flags on the map. Each flag gives points to whichever faction holds it. More flags held means more points earned

  • The first team to reach the score limit wins the round

  • The event will be best of 5

  • There will be no siege. The winner of conquest takes the opposing factions town and castle. Event time will remain consistent with previous entries.

/u/Saultnami will be leading the Vaegirs and /u/Smug_Alpaca will be leading the Nords. If one of them cannot attend, a marshal will be appointed.

To join the event, just join the server! There are no sign-ups required, and while it is recommended to join voice chat for bants and vague tactics, it isn't required.

  • When: Saturday, November 4th, 4:00PM EDT

  • Server: Calradic_Campaign

  • Password: reddit

Help with the Subreddit's new Guide! Guide is in the Description and Link in the Comments⬇️

So I got the go-ahead to write a guide for the Mods to post and pin on top of the sub and while my 3000+ hours of Bannerlord and wide experience with speedrunning this quest covers a lot, I am sure that I might have missed some neat tips and tricks. Please also tell if there if something that needs closer clarification with more text or an image. The Bannerlord's Guide to Unite the Empire Written by Octavian_Exumbra So you want to unite the Calradian Empire? Well, my child, this is no simple matter. Many great rulers have attempted to Unite the quarrelling descendants of Calradios the Great under one cause and most have failed, so steel yourself great warrior for today you... I'm just messing with you. It's actually a fairly simple process, so let's just dive right into it. New Campaign: Starting off, we're picking Empire culture. When it comes to skills, you have more liberty, but if we want to do this as effectively as possible then we're mainly focusi...

Detailed Mariner Unit Analysis/Tier List for Campaign

TL;DR Tier List. These are my personal notes and I acknowledge it is just my opinion, just posted to hopefully help others S: Imperial Naute A: Battanian Skipari, Vlandian Nauta, Nord Huscarl, B: Sturgian Reaver, Nord Berserkr, Aserai Bahriyyah, C: Corsair Chief, Nord Skjaldbrestir, Nord Chosen of the Sky-God, Sea Raider Chief D: Various Convoy Guards, Nord Ulfhedinn, F: Nord Youngling Testing is done in actual campaign as well as using custom battles and the Retinue mod to look directly at stats/equipment. General Observations: Shields are required, otherwise you get shredded by ranged attacks. Skills and ship upgrades can boost shield health massively, with some like the Nord Decorated Shield crossing 2,000 hp! I've seen Huscarls with 20+ Javelins in their unbroken shield at the end of a battle. You can assume the high tier shields will not break in battle, meaning a single high damage hit creeping through is the best means of ranged attack rather than quantity. For ra...

👥 All Bannerlord wanderers/companions

⚠️ ANNOUNCEMENT While editing my previous post, I bumped against the 40,000 characters limit, which was unknown to me. I decided to take the following course of action: to avoid encountering the character limit again, I split the wanderers/companions and marriage prospects post into 2 separate ones, with "Bannerlord" in the title for SEO reasons. Furthermore, instead of maintaining posts for each branch, the active posts will be dedicated to the beta branch, with a snapshot of the main branch values accessible for download if pertinent. ​ Up to date as of beta e1.1.0; editing in progress, pardon my dust... e1.0.10 snapshot temporarily redirects to the post PLEASE READ THE FAQ BEFORE ASKING A QUESTION. The purpose of this post is to provide pertinent information about all of Bannerlord's potential companions. Efforts will be made to keep it up to date, and expand on its information. Currently present are the 64 wanderer templates found in spspecialcharacters.xml ...
