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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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).

  4. 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.

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...

Optimal weapons in Smithing (Forging): a second, deeper (?), look - Blades/Heads + Guards/Banners and Accessories. Bit of a letdown

Hello everyone.It’s been one month since part 1 was released (This one https://www.reddit.com/r/Bannerlord/comments/12yqhq5/optimal_weapons_in_smithing_forging_a_first_look/ ).I’m here posting again to go forwards in the established direction from part 1.There will be a TL;DR section at the end. A little recap is in order: last time we crafted every single possible weapon in Bannerlord, but ignoring guards, pommels, grips, accessories (From now on, "Parts 2/3/4")... and only switched between different blades/heads ("Parts 1"), which I expected to determine the overall worth of the item much more than the other parts (This proved to be the case, according to today's data).Furthermore, there were no changes in size at all, so all components were crafted only in standard size. Again, I've updated the Google drive folder I've been using up until now. It contains a series of screenshots detailing the weapon's name (Which in turn is a combination of the...
