Tactics to win any battle with aserai as southern empire

Make a elite cataphract force of 50 than charge them to their horse division. Elite cataphracts are superior in all ways. Then, charge the horses on to the pikeman and archers then charge the soldiers and arrows. Dont forget that these has to be mostly legionaries. I hope my tips help. submitted by /u/Visible_Tax7920 [link] [comments]

Stealthy's guide to conquering the factions of Calradia: The Khergits (2)

Hi everyone I'm writing this guide as a quick intro for beginners to the game to give them some advice and perspective in managing army tactics against all types of factions during the heat of battle. Each post will be on a different faction, I hope you find it useful Our next faction; THE KHERGIT KHANATE Background - The Khergits were based on the mongol factions of early asia and their armies are essentially calvary only. Their strength lies in open fields where their horseman superiority can quickly swarm and run over everything in their path, devastating your army. It all sounds scary in writing but on the field of battle they can easily be defeated using sound tactics. However in sieges whether its attacking or defending they are the laughing stock of all the calradian factions, essentially useless when dishmounted. With no shock troops that can punch a hole in the enemy's fortress defense line making it very easy to knock them off one by one. When defending, the Kherg...

Theory about the symbolism and deeper meaning of Warband (why it's always almost harvest)

So we all know that in Calradia it's almost harvest, all day everyday since the second your character sets foot in the land. This is of course impossible, unless... you know what? I'll come back to that later, right now I have other points to bring up. The next strange thing is that neither you nor the the lords ever die no matter how many battles they lose, this isn't the case for your soldiers though as we all know. Or is it? Calradia never seems to run out of man power, and you seem to see a lot of the same faces often... I'd also like to mention the fact that the villages will always become re-inhabited no matter how prone to raids they are, and the elder is always the same. So what does this all mean? Calradia is actually purgatory, in which you and every other character is trapped. Now the Divine Comedy describes Purgatory as a place in between heaven and hell where people are perpetually waiting, waiting for their salvation that may never come. Just as the peas...

Need help in mid-game

Hello gents, I've been playing Warband casually for a while (~650 hours) but I always stop my campaigns when I reach a certain point. It's generally when I'm a vassal of a faction, with a reasonable army of around 100-120 troops, 2-3 fiefs and sometimes a keep. However, at this point, I feel like everything becomes stagnant. Wars are limited to a few skirmishes (no big campaigns, and I'm very unfamiliar with being a marshal.) When I try to take a castle or do any major moves, my army gets crushed (and generally, when that happens, I'm so bummed out I make a new campaign all over again. Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone gotten Nvidia Freestyle working with Napoleonic Wars or any other module?

Hi, Anyone gotten Nvidia Freestyle working with Napoleonic Wars? it says it is supported on https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/geforce-experience/games/ but ingame it says it's not a supported game when I try open the freestyle menu Alt+F3. Both warband and napoleonic wars are visible as 2 separate games in Nvidia Experience, however, if I try launch any module via Nvidia Experience I have to go via the Module Launcher. if I somehow can bypass the Module Launcher I might be able to get it working.

Agility and Athletics

Reading the wiki, for every 5 points of agility a character moves faster - the equivalent of +1 athletics. My question is: is this independent from athletics or is there a cap? If I have 30 agility and 10 athletics, do I move like I had 16 athletics or only 10? Submitted July 31, 2018 at 09:46AM by Malbethion https://ift.tt/2Ovpow0

Stealthy's guide to conquering the factions of Calradia: The Rhodoks (1)

Hi everyone I'm writing this guide as a quick intro for beginners to the game to give them some advice and perspective in managing army tactics against all types of factions during the heat of battle. Each post will be on a different faction, I hope you find it useful! So first off; THE RHODOKS Background - The Rhodoks are extremely painful to beseige due to their hardhitting and deadly crossbowman paired with heavy infantry that are able to hold your attacking troops in position while the crossbowman pepper your men with holes. On the field their infantry are generally there to hold the enemy in place while relying on their crossbowman to do the real damage. Overall they are a competent faction and I rate them 7/10 in terms of toughness. When meeting a Rhodok army on the field of battle your first priority is taking out those deadly crossbowman, given time and a nice hill to look down upon Rhodokian Crossbowman rain down death like crazy and your men will drop like flies to...

[PoP] Looking for Solo Kingdom advice after a heavy loss

Hello all! I am a long time MnB fan, playing it off and on for many years. I'm not really very good, but it's fun. Recently I've gotten back in, and started up another Prophesy of Pendor run. Before my questions, some context. Instead of being someone's vassal, I wanted to try the Kingdom of Pendor run. I wanted to really sell the narrative, and not just rebel from a faction, taking their territory with me. I was to be the Queen, bending my knee to no other lord. And for a while that was okay. I had won over 25 tournaments, collected ~150 veteran soldiers, found a group of 6 companions that didn't hate one another, and collected over 400k denars in savings. With that done, I set my sights on the Empire. Having suffered through brutal wars with Sarleon and the D'Shar (the latter of which they were still fighting), the Empire was by far the weakest on the map. Reduced to 2 cities and 2 castles, the Empire was looking bad. While they unsuccessfully tried to p...

I would like companion recruitment to be more interesting

So for every companion the method of recruitment is just chatting them up at a bar, maybe paying them, and then they are your pal for life. I know they have boring text based stories, but that does nothing to give them a personal connection to the player. I want interesting recruitment options in the future. Here are some scenarios for them and heroes that could fit that mold. Bandit Leader: This hero is the leader of a group of bandits. You have to defeat him and his group and spare his life for him to join you. (Borcha) Tournament champion: This hero is a legendary tournament fighter. You have to defeat him and win a tournament he's in. After that, you can find him in a bar and get him to join you. (Rolf) Heretic: This science based hero was labeled a heretic and is locked away in a dungeon to rot. You have to break him out of the dungeon and then he will join you. (Artimitter). Charming Rogue: This guy or gal slept with the wrong nobleman's wife or daughter, and...

Why No Love for Warsword Conquest?

It's my favorite mod, but I never see it mentioned on here. If you haven't played it, definitely check it out. It has a gigantic map, numerous factions, great looking armor/aesthetics and more troop types than I have seen in any other mod. Also, I knew nothing about Warhammer before this mod, so don't think you have to be a Warhammer junkie to enjoy it. Submitted July 30, 2018 at 10:54AM by Lone_Wolf89 https://ift.tt/2v3Bt3m

Looking for mod with little cavalry and better sieges

So after trying out Native and a few other mods (Native Expanded, Diplomacy, a bit of 1257 Anno Domini, Brytenwalda), I've found that I really like the general vibe and gameplay of Native Expanded, but it still bothers me a bit that cavalry is still so overpowered, and there's no real reason to recruit anything else than only Swadian Knights late game. I'm looking for something more infantry based, maybe even being on foot myself, since you can just circle looters endlessly in the early game, and I think it's more fun to be a real soldier on the battlefield. Also, it'd be nice if the sieges were improved a bit, and wasn't just an entire army trying to fit on a ladder. Are there any mods that fit these criteria that you can recommend? I honestly thought about just making a mod that removed all horses from the game. Submitted July 30, 2018 at 09:47AM by Jurkey https://ift.tt/2M6pTLe

What to do for cash / growth in early game between wars while staying honorable, bandits are rare? [Floris, if relevant]

I've played Warband for over a hundred hours, a bit under half of it on Floris, and I'm having difficulty with this routinely. I've got a party of 59, not enough fame for vassalage, and I'm milling around the Kindom of Rhodoks as the faction I'd like to be with. The lords are rarely offering me quests and the Rhodok lands are chock full of manhunters so the bandit population is pretty culled. This is the early game, so I can't set up enterprises in town, and if there's no war on in my faction, there's no mercing, so there's no stable income and I have to hope I get a good fight or quest each week to pay for my crew. So what can I do in this downtime? Village quests outside of bandit defense are basically 'spend all your money on us' so that's out of the question for now. A dishonorable character can raid a village or caravan, but in my case I'll be encouraging my medic Jeremus to ditch me. Should I just try adventuring around anoth...

Why isn't the Khergit steppe and actual steppe?

Why are the steppes in the Khergit Khanate so riddled with hills? I had expected the field battles in the Khanate to be more akin to the plains of Swadia except without the trees and forests and almost completely flat but in some cases it's even hillier. The definition of steppe is: " a large area of flat unforested grassland in SE Europe or Siberia" but apparently the word "steppe" has completely different meaning in Calradia. I took some screenshots and compared them with images of steppes in real life. Submitted July 29, 2018 at 07:40AM by HolyMolyOllyPolly https://ift.tt/2mQ9zTV

A Hot Date - Calradic Campaign #31

A haze of contempt has descended on the eastern steppe. The serene mountain passes that mark the Sarranid-Khergit border shall once again be marred by the chaos of war. Formerly a remote and mysterious place, the meeting of sand and steppe in Calradia’s southeast has in recent months become a hotbed of border conflicts and even full scale war. Under Sultan /u/Arthanias , Sarranids have pushed themselves away from the Khergits, citing cultural differences. The Khergits, he claims, have performed reprehensible acts on horses, and possess a barbaric mindset anathema to any proper art and culture. In retaliation, /u/SanjarKhan has loudly reminded Calradia of the Sarranid murder-kidnapping of his purebred wife. Additionally, he proclaims his intention to rid the continent of those who would rub themselves sensually with sand for unhealthy lengths of time. With the rejuvenated Rhodok kingdom threatening further eastward expansion, the Khergits and Sarranids have entered into a race to...

Can't decide between PoP, Perisno, and Warsword...

I like high fantasy, but low fantasy is cool too, but most of all, I like large conflicts, I like balanced factions, but I also like being the underdog. I LIKE HUGE battles, 500 man battles, none of that "lags at 100 man battle" shit, so if it can do atleast 500, we're golden (Bonus if it can do higher) my machine can run it just fun, it's more of a limitation on warband (if there is a way past this, do tell) Anyways what are your suggestions?

I'll admit I'm not a expert on how video games are made so have no idea if this is even possible but could we ever transfer kingdoms into new saves?

New Mod I've Been Working On - Need Feedback!

Hi r/MountAndBlade ! Picked this game up about 2 years ago when I was having severe Game of Thrones withdrawal, and BOY did it ever scratch an itch I didn't even know I had! As of posting I have ~160 hours in game, which is NOTHING compared to anyone that wasn't as late to the party as me. Especially compared to the Fallout/Skyrim style games where I have 500+ hours thanks to mods. MODS. Mods are what keep games fresh, interesting, different, amazing, and just occasionally a little bit stupid. Warband's community has an AMAZING mod prescence so it was only a couple weeks before I had TweakMB and Morgh's WB/WFS tool open and ready to destroy my game files. I'm still a noob, only value swapping like a good script kiddy, so the grand plans I had for a new a 2nd another Game of Thrones mod were tabled.

[PS4] Warband Fans: Opinions on these games or suggestions for other similar

Hope this post isn't a violation of the rules... So I've been loving the hell out of Warband on PS4. It was exactly what I've been looking for for a while now. Sadly these type games are in short supply on console, but I have a shortlist of "similar" games that I'm considering trying next (not that I'm done with Warband by a long shot). I know nothing is quite like Warband, but if any of you have suggestions for me or opinions on the following I would welcome them. I've stopped relying so much on Metacritic since I feel the Warband score is unfairly low (both user and critic score!). I've considered getting a gaming PC just to play the add-ons and mods for Warband and check out a few other titles like Total War, but honestly that's not likely any time soon, so just PS4 for now.

(VC) So, Ulf's Farmstead

I can't do this anymore. It has worn down on me mentally. I have been at this stupid mission for 5 hours and in this time have seen the darkest pits of hell in how massively flawed the design is. So, you show up. Army is too big, apparently- they limit you artificially. This is the first step in a slew of absolute horsecrap, as the enemy will have both more and stronger soldiers than you. That's another flaw. The enemy isn't scaled to the player at all. It doesn't matter if I have a top-quality weapon and armor worth 4k silver, I will personally be smashed into the ground the single second I come into contact with an enemy. They aren't scaled because there is no scaling to be had- they are superior to anything a player could possibly be without several in-game years of grinding. "You have been hit for 136 damage" is a phrase I have come to see all too often. I was also screwed over massively. The game's awkward permadeath system means that y...

How I conquered and unified Calradia with deceiveness and betrayal

Wanna share my story with you guys. I'm writing this in my cellphone and I'm not a native speaker so bear with me. My playthrough was done on Warband only with the Diplomacy Mod. So how did I do it, how was I able to conquer all of Calradia. Well the first 100 day I focused on establishing enterprises on each and every city so if I was at war with some of those fake and puny factions I still had some income thanks to the rest of the cities. Next I focused on recruiting all companions and started their training. I didn't care much about their combat skills but the Trainer and Looting skills were priority. I had good 'ol Jeremus as my primary healer with Surgery, First Aid and Close Wounds maxed out as soon as possible and the always faithful Ymira as his assistant with 7/8 in those skills.

Horse archery in Viking Conquest

You can actually still do it. During your initial visits to Doccinga in story mode, you can drag the bow the ranged trainer gives you for 10 denar into your inventory. This bow has: Normal: 20p, 99a, 90s, Strong: 23p, 99a, 87s, Pros: The only bow you can use on horseback. The only bow with piercing damage. Cons: You can only have 4 points of power draw for this bow. No horse archery skill in VC means that you'll suffer a damage reduction while using bow. Still a deadly bow if you give all your companions horse and this bow, train archery proficiency to 300 with ruffians. Then you will have yourself a horse archery squad, in a world where there is no horse archery.

What was your most exciting/spectacular kill?

I got this game a couple days ago, been playing on the newest diplomacy module. The kill that really made me fall for this game was when I was warring against the Sarranids. I was still a lowly mercenary, with a shitty nomad bow and a steppe horse. I was just getting to know about the troops of the game, but I pretty much didn't know shit, except that mamlukes are fucking scary. Heading into battle I was with my lightly armored horse enthusiasts, and I was quite fond of my unit. I knew that their lives were one and gone but mine was blessedly not. So when the battle started, I beelined for the mamlukes and managed to dispatch a couple with relative ease. This particular battle was in the desert outskirts, and I found myself in the heat of battle, zeroing on the Cataphract from behind. I think I attempted to lance him but missed. I then tried to use mobility to my advantage and shot him, Parthian style. I put in a few shots from the back and charged in front of him, which to my d...

Wild Speculation Thread for Bannerlord

I wanted to make a thread wherein we can make crazy feature speculations that probably won't be in the game. I'll start with... The new Cooking skill! A party skill, this would allow you to combine other foodstuffs into delicious dishes that would raise the morale of your men even further. Beef + cabbage + salt = Corned Beef Cabbage! Of course, cooking takes time, so you must camp for a short while depending on how much you want to cook and how difficult a recipe is. You learn new recipes and cook faster as you level the skill. (please avoid Large Bags of Salt in your response if possible =]) Submitted July 18, 2018 at 04:09PM by 2gudIMO https://ift.tt/2JAm8vx

Are devs milking the government?

Allright this is completely based on some theory we crafted between friends(actually its just my cousin) If you didnt know, Turkish government is supporting small business owners and developers if they are working on a project. So what if the devs are actually milking that sweet government denars by keeping the bannerlord on development? What if they just want the governments peersonal belongings? Hmmm? Did you ever think about that? My cousin did. Submitted July 18, 2018 at 09:56AM by tapirr https://ift.tt/2LuCOXg

Can anyone help me with some ideas for how to stand up against the Kingdom of England? (Anno Domini 1257)

So this is my second playthrough of AD1257 and I chose the Gaelic Kingdoms again (Irish ancestry heck yeah) and once again we are being decimated by the kingdom of England. We're far outnumbered and they keep on riding through our kingdom with an army of 2000 men and easily beat our army of around 500 giving us no chance to recover. I was thinking I could maybe ally with Scotland or something, but I wouldn't know how to go about doing that. Does anyone have any ideas? Any way I could destabilize them from the inside or make some lords defect or something? Submitted July 18, 2018 at 12:11PM by GiantRobotLazerFish https://ift.tt/2msHtOq

One issue in Mount and Blade that I hope Bannerlord will solve.

The fact that everytime a character wears a hat or a helmet, suddenly the hair from their heads is gone and they have gone bald. All the effort to select a hairstyle and it's gone to waste. How can I, my companions and my soldiers look stylish and fabulous on the battlefield when they look bald while wearing a hat or a helmet?

Stop thinking about your damn selves.

Maybe Jeremus keeps getting knocked out because of how exhausted he is, conducting all the surgeries on your stupid 500 man army. Maybe he keeps getting knocked out because whenever he's injured, he has to conduct surgery ON HIMSELF because you JUST HAD to max out your Engineering instead of putting a single damn point in Surgery! Maybe tell your other men to stop getting hit and injured, huh?! But NoOoOoO! It's all poor Jeremus' fault. It's all the bald, fat person's fault. It ALWAYS is! But that ends today. Start blaming YOURSELVES for being inept kings/warlord/vassals/mercenaries/peasants/assholes. Sincerely, Not Jeremus Submitted July 17, 2018 at 09:30PM by RLTYProds https://ift.tt/2JwOBCw

No rent from castles or villages

I don't get any rent from any of my villages or castles. The budget screen says (Enterprises: +1000) Rent from Jeirbe Castle: none Rent from Slezkh Castle: none Rent from Mazen: none Loss due to tax inefficiency: 0 Wages for Jeirbe Castle: -1200 Wages for Slezkh Castle: -2000 I can't sustain this even with six enterprises, and the wages for the castles will bankrupt me in 1 budget cycle. Some facts that might help: Campaign difficulty is poor, I am a vaegir lord, Mazen HAS been raided recently(doesnt explain the castles though), I am a male commoner who swore allegiance I have a net loss of ~2100~ a month, the prosperity of Mazen is dreadful because I'm broke.

Waiting for Bannerlord has allowed me to start a college fund

After enjoying Warband for almost 2000 hours my PC finally crapped out. I don't do much PC gaming so I figured I'd wait until Bannerlord came out to buy a new desktop. That was years ago. I've been depositing the money I've set aside for the PC in a savings account and it's actually looking pretty nice nowadays. So thank you Taleworlds, I guess Submitted July 16, 2018 at 10:15AM by Beeflip https://ift.tt/2usXuZ4

[PoP] Need help with recruiting lords

So I have a new kingdom setup and everything and have about 70 rtr, 5k renown and 1 mil denars. So far I've been able to defend against sieges and stuff but the lack of lords is killing me. Its no fun to be forced to camp in your castle because a 3k strong army is besieging you 3 times in 2 weeks. I made 2 noble companions lords but I really need more. Every lord I talk to seems to have 100 relation with his liege even if their faction has only one city left. Not even the sadistic and pitiless lords are defecting. Please help, I'm very close to just giving up on this mod! Submitted July 16, 2018 at 06:56AM by Superior_Lancers https://ift.tt/2zK4yWy

I would just like to commend the artists of Sands of Faith for making a significant improvement over Warband

The uniforms of the soldiers, regardless of what faction you're playing, are incredibly distinct - such that I had no idea how cluttered the 'show banners over friendly troops' were until now. I can see who is fighting whom, and how it's going, without the casualty report or those icons. This has to be a staple feature in Bannerlord. Actual banners and uniforms that tell me who troops are, without intrusive UI elements. I do see those big banners over groups in the gamescom footage, although those appear to be floating in midair.

Mod Night - The Deluge

The winged hussars have re-arrived, alongside their many allies and enemies. Can Poland stand its ground, and escape the being plundered and occupied this time? The Swedish and Russians will have to find out. Welcome to the eleventh Mod Night! Mod Night is a casual play community event where we visit less popular/empty multiplayer mods that you wouldn't otherwise have a chance to try out. This month we'll be returning to The Deluge , a historical mod showcasing the massive, Sabaton-memed wars of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Cossack Hetmanate, Crimean Khanate, Sweden, and more! You can find the download for the module here! This mod is extremely intricate, featuring many of its own mechanics and features. Whether you're riding ferries while being shelled by explosive artillery, stealthing through the forests while crouch walking, or simply bashing in a Janissary's head with a horse mandible, there is plenty of fun to be had.

Most anticipated mods for bannerlord?

I have a top 3 list. Punic Wars Mod: WAR ELEPHANTS BABY! Would love to see phalanxes and more emphasis on thrown weapons as well. Especially since it seems the devs have made more efforts into making spear units more effective. Conquest of the Americas or Colonization of Africa: Would love to see a mod mainly focused on the aspects of slaving, looting, mining, and small scale colony management to accomplish these things. Mongolian Conquests: Who doesn't want to literally just murder everything every now and then tbh. I've always enjoyed more historical mods cus I feel like I relate to them better as opposed to the fantasy ones that have a whole brand new lore to get into I don't really have the patience for. I suppose stuff like Game of Thrones or Star Wars would be pretty great mods that no doubt we'll get in bannerlord. What mods do you want?

Safest inventory option?

Hey all, this is a question regarding the latest version of Prophesy of Pendor. I’m wondering what the safest option for storing excess inventory items is. I know there’s a chest in my castle, but I also know that if it’s ever captured, I will have to re-capture it in order to access my stuff. I just got married in-game, so I was thinking my wife and our “household” storage might be good to hold excess items (armor, weapons, trade goods, etc) However, I’m worried about bugs caused by the household inventory being used for feasts, or just general disappearance of items. I was hoping to hear from the community about what the consensus is on the most reliable inventory overflow option is. Thanks!

POP glitch

i won a siege defense against 2100 soldiers and was chasing the enemy when the game froze and ctrl+alt+delete didn't work. so i restarted my PC. when i booted up the game, my character was bald and weird looking, the stewards gave me the dialogue you get when you first conquer the town and were naked (i fear for my wife). my CKO was "reset" (their stats were 0, they had no equipment and the name was the default one). i can't even reequip them, the "store" side of the screen is empty. anyone had this issue? any fix? i have over 9000 renown (for real) and close to 400 honour. so starting a new game isn't my first choice. thanks! edit: stores in the towns i visited, only have the basic clothing of the knighthood orders and nothing else. not even food.

Why cant they release bannerlord unfinished?

I feel like every game dev now adays releases a game in beta and never actually makes it to 1.0 Ie the forest, other games... Why can't taleworlds give us the game now in its unfinished state and just add to it as they go? Mount and blade is a game that is ten years old but still has a dedicated community that just shows how much the devs put into these games. I can still go onto an online napoleonic server and play the bagpipes surrounded by 100 other players dueling to the death, Who says bannerlord wont last just as long? If the game is unfinished thats fine, but i feel as though they are only hurting themselves by not releasing a beta. Submitted July 11, 2018 at 01:29PM by The_Great_Googly_Moo https://ift.tt/2uc7XrW

I have a newfound respect for Rhodoks

On my most recent character in vanilla Warband, and after many days my Nords have conquered Swadia. We have all of their fiefs, and vassals are defecting wholesale over to the Khergits. Rhodoks declare war on us to curb our growing power, and wow, we have lost 2 castles and a town inside of 2 weeks, and my troops are getting massacred. I started looking at their armies, to see what troops they have, and I am seeing 10-30 Sergeants and 15-40 Sharpshooters in every war party! In King Graveth's he had 50+ Sergeants and Sharpshooters when they took Uxkhal. I have a feeling that they have been at peace for some time building their forces, and we are feeling the full brunt of their wrath. Color me impressed! I've never had this much trouble with Rhodoks before, I found their lower tier units especially pathetic against my Nords, but man I am getting my ass handed to me right now. Respect you Rhodok bastards! Submitted July 11, 2018 at 09:21AM by IanEdie https://ift.tt/2mbaVbu
