I mean I play it mainly as Role play, so winning it is not my goal, but I definitely want to be successful. Usually, getting first city is pretty hard, because having less than 200 troops, building siege camp, fending off enemy lords roaming around my siege camp requires big heap of luck. Then expanding the kingdom without clans is hard, even with two or three it gets hard against fully established kingdoms. However, weekly I see many posts about finished game, great strategic win, destroying whole kingdoms singlehandedly.... I am by no means beginner, having 2K+ hours in Warband (partially napoleonic wars as regiment member, but still many hours in Floris, Pendor and so on), 700+ hours in Bannerlord. I use Diplomacy, RBM so it is harder, but still... submitted by /u/Top_Leopard_9528 [link] [comments]
Often in late game, two of your towns are being besieged at the same time. So you must quickly defend one and leave to help the other. But in vanilla Warband, the maximum number of reinforcement waves the attacker gets in a siege, is just 5. This means that you can only kill ~300 enemies in a single siege defense (out of the total 1500-2000), then they retreat and regroup for a few days - while the siege still continues. You lose time because of this and inevitably lose the other town.
So I just found out that, when you've killed all the enemies in the first siege defense, if you immediately press Tab and retreat (before the message "Battle won! Press Tab to leave..." comes up - this is important), another battle will be forced right away. So you get to kill another 300 enemies, and then can retreat again and get yet another forced battle - until you've wiped out so many that they actually run away from your town and not simply wait and regroup. Which allows you to leave and go help your other besieged town.
