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]
Any good strategies or tips? Like what are the actual commands you tend to issue?
I finally started a Khergit only playthrough. It's been great so far, although I haven't had to siege yet... The battles tend to be chaos and fast paced horse archery is very satisfying when you get good at it. I basically divide my troops into two groups: Lancers, consisting only of Lancers plus half my companions geared for charging; and Archers, consisting of every other Khergit troop type and the other half of my companions geared for horse archery. At the start of a field battle I typically send Lancers off ahead to the right and Archers off ahead to the left then charge everyone in a pincer attack. It seems to work pretty well. The wiki mentions that you shouldn't charge horse archers since their melee capabilities are rubbish, but they actually tend to stick to bows and hit and run from what I've seen so far? What other commands can I even issue them? I tried telling them to follow me but it seems less effective than just letting them go nuts. Especially against disorganised armies. The Lancers I just have them withdraw and charge repeatedly. I alternate between horse archery and melee myself so I can join either group as necessary. Any other strategies that work well? Thanks.
