In Warband you would allocate troops to formations on your party screen. You could put individual troops in formation 1,2, 3 etc. In bannerlord it feels cumbersome having to do it in the battle deployment screen using the sliders. Is there a way to change this? submitted by /u/FingersToKeyboard [link] [comments]
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 the onslaught so always take them out first.
-
The Rhodokian Infantry have tough armour and are usually equipped with spears or halberds to deal with cavalry so never charge your horsemen head on as they'll be spitted upon those pesky sharp sticks. They almost always carry heavy shields so in general any ranged troops you have are useless fighting rhodoks on fields.
-
As the enemy approaches have your infantry charge theirs, Rhodok Infantry are more suited for a defensive style so they'll hold your men in place but you wont take significant casualties which is what you want. While their dangerous spearmen are locked in place take manual control of your horseman and have them charge around the swarm of men hacking at each other and ride straight into those pesky crossbowman - you'll catch them by surprise and have a wonderful time slaughtering them (I always do).
-
Once the crossbowman are dealt with simply have your calvary turn around and stab the Rhodok infantry in the back, caught on both sides the enemy will quickly be killed and victory will be yours.
I hope this guide has helped, comment your strategies to defeat the Rhodoks and let me know which faction you would like me to write about next.
