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]

[AWOIAF] Reworked troop trees

Disclaimer : All credit goes the the creator of AWOIAF for his fantastic work, I merely edited item values and troop trees. I'm not claiming my troop trees are better either, if anything it makes factions less distinct from each other, I simply tweaked things to my liking. Since quite a few people seems to be interested by modified troop trees, I'm sharing it to everyone here, as well as a summary of what I have changed. Any feedback is welcome! I reworked every troop tree in westeros except for the Free Folk and the Night's Watch. Also, apologies for my english. Overall changes : * Short bows now deals piercing damage * Fixed peasant having wacky stats * Buffed a number of faction-specific shields The Stormlands https://imgur.com/Pzsprxo Ranged units now use crossbows instead of bows Cav now use mailed horses House Knights no longer have worse armor compared to regular Knights House Kinghts now use longswords The Westerlands https://imgur.com/yQ1xxMV Ch...

Best laptop for the most demanding mod in Warband?

I've been playing this game since around 2009 (back in Mount and Blade 1 days). This is still my no. 1 go-to game in case I have some time to burn. I wanted to try mods like AWOIAF with the most demanding resolution and still have that smooth 60fps. So what laptops can you guys suggest?

[AWOIAF] Found Dark Sister

I've been looking it for it for a while, couldn't find anything online, apparently no one knows how to get the Dark Sister legitimately yet. Daenerys has it. I think she/Aegon (TV/Book) had Blackfyre, but (as of the latest version) Dany has the Dark Sister. I don't know about Aegon. I found out when I was fighting along side her, she got knocked out and I picket up her weapon which was called "Dark Sister".

King Ragnar has abandoned feudalism

In the game of Warband I am playing, King Ragnar seems very reluctant to give out fiefs to his vassals. He owns everything in his kingdom. Every town Every castle Every village and for some reason he still has loyal vassals. Guess he wants to create a modern autocracy instead. ​ Probably a bug, but I find it interesting.

Are there any mods with realistic looting?

Let's say I get in a fight with a Swadian Knight. "Realistic" looting would mean that I get all the equipment he was carrying when he dies (most likely damaged, because I killed him in it). Are there any mods where the looting system works like that? Submitted May 29, 2019 at 12:36AM by awsomesawsome http://bit.ly/2W93shL

Recruiting vassals

Is there any way to know what vassals when recruiting them will be able to carry a fair amount of troops? I keep on recruiting vassals and never seem to see any correlation in any facts into which vassal will be able to have an army of 100+ troops and which vassal will have 30 troops. To me it just seems like I have to guess and hope I'm lucky. P.S I'm playing on PS4 with no mods so can't use them. Submitted May 28, 2019 at 09:29AM by galahadguru http://bit.ly/2MgSd2e

(Native) Indictments break the game eventually.

Yes, I am a console peasant. The level of indictment in the mid-late game ruins the entire M&B console experience, imo. It's an issue in every playthrough, no exceptions. I remember my very first playthrough - with the Nords – we fought, feasted and became bros. Turya, Haeda, Olaf, Harald, Gearth, Turegor, Logarson – some of the finest bearded blokes I've ever broken bread (and skulls) with. Fast forward 500ish days, and the playthrough became tainted by the constant indictments. The faction was unrecognizable from the initial glory days, vassals came and went like it was nothing. All my boys had switched allegiances, and I was surrounded by comrades whose days as a Nord were numbered – I've even seen Vassals join and leave the very same day. You wake up one day and suddenly Tihr is a Sarranid town. It's just…meh. I understand this may be an oversight by the devs, and that late-game quality of life may not have been a priority, but it saddens me that the relati...

I believe that Bannerlord will never be released.

I don’t think that M&B: Bannerlord will be released. Going off the devblogs there’s certainly some functional components, but it doesn’t appear to be anywhere near a tangible product. In 2016 they put the Store page up on Steam. It is 2019 and there is no release in sight. The game was announced in 2012. The ONLY release news from them had been for a Multiplayer Beta. The only item they have shown off at Gamescom has been the Multiplayer beta. I believe that the multiplayer/battle part of Bannerlord has been done and polished for quite some time, but that the Singleplayer is nowhere near a finished product. We said in 2016, that with the store page that THIS is the year! Then we said in 2017, it may be 2018. Then in 2018 we said we hope for 2019. And in 2019 we are praying for 2020-2021. The previous community manager had quit with rumours of stagnancy in the development, although those are just rumours. What is true is that we complained about the developments silence fo...

I recently picked this game up and I have a question about archers.

I have used the top tier swadian archers and top tier nord archers and as far as I can tell they're basically useless. In a 100 v 100 scenario they get like 25 kills to my foot men's 75 then they drop like flies as soon as the enemy gets close to them.

You should be able to rename your troops when you fond your own kingdom.

Just an idea I had. In prophecy of pendor you can name and train your own knights. In this case, you don't need to train them at all. There should just be an option that makes it so that troops, for example Empire Armored Crossbowmen, can be renamed to something like Ashina Crossbowmen. ( Empire of Ashina is the name of my kingdom in pendor. yes, I have been playing sekiro recently.) This would add a lot of satisfaction to watching the killfeed and seeing your own men, loyal to your own kingdom, fight battles. Submitted May 26, 2019 at 01:05PM by orva12 http://bit.ly/2HQWpQE

Which Faction deserves to rule Calradia?

Not which is the strongest or most fun to play, which do you think deserves to rule lore-wise? I ask because I'm going for all the steam achievements and only have 3 left (sassy, heartbreaker, and manifest destiny) and I want to get manifest destiny out of the way before doing a fun playthrough where I max charisma and persuasion and just learn all the poems I can to elope with someone, and maybe piss off a male lord and duel him along the way (if I'm a female character, otherwise I'll just do a separate save for that).

Definitive Strategy

This is the strategy I typically use to get a kingdom going when I start a new game. It takes a while to get things really going, but it works every time without fail. First, you'll need two things; Good troops, and good funding. You can knock this out by using a nice little strategy early on; Get a few recruits from the local villages and go after looters/bandits/raiders (listed in order of difficulty). When you don't have a ton of troops, or they're all wet behind the ears, fight looters (or bandits if you're ballsy). This is for your troops, not for you, so don't charge a bunch of sea raiders right off the back just because you know that you can take them on. Once your troops are more experienced, or you have enough troops that you're willing to spare, go up against bandits and raiders more frequently. You'll get better loot and more experience, but you're not ready to take on an army just yet. Do this in conjunction with... Participate in e...

ACOK 7.1 disable companions bickering/leaving

Hey butterlords. GOT S8 left me broken and empty, trying to fill the void with Warband mods. Saw the new version of ACOK, figured I'd give it a spin. I don't necessarily want to analyze outdated spreadsheets to assemble my functional party of companions though, I'd rather just pick the 8 that most the look interesting in the tavern and get on with it. Reading through the old threads about how to keep companions who dislike each other it seems like there are some pretty simple fixes. Edit the strings, save the text documents, live a good life. Sadly, the text documents appear to have been updated, and the old fixes don't work. Everyone's still doing that petty M&B companion thing where someone looks at them funny at the campsite and now they've got a stupid interparty blood feud going on. Anyone have a modern solution for 7.1 ACOK? I'd love help from y'all if anyone's familiar with this. Submitted May 25, 2019 at 01:00PM by IRushPeople...

I just had the sneakinest(?) moment in this game.

I was a independent raiding party, looting and razing villages all of the map, except the Khanate. The Vaegirs and the Khanate were at war, and the Vaegirs were able to take over Ichamur, then both sides settled on peace. I swooped in to Ichamur with my 65 troops, beat the small garrison and around 7 Vaegir Lords begin sieging my castle. I ride on over to Tulsa, pledge my vassalage to Sanjar Khan. Because I'm now apart of the Khergit Khanat, the siege on Ichamur ends and I get control of a city and two villages super early on. Didn't plan it, but it sure worked out for me.

Every faction hates how quickly i have expanded and it's turned the game to shit!

Nords, Vaegris, Sarranids and Rhodoks over the course of about 12 hours of play time declared war to stop check my power but they keep losing territory making the problem even worse.. The nords have lost most of their kingdom to me at this point having only a single town left and some castles too heavily garrisoned to be worth taking. Vaegris are about to be wiped out as the first thing i will be doing when i get back to the game is besieging their last town and their king is my prisoner. The Sarranids and Rhodoks haven't done much at this point, the in this war, Sarranids reconquered a castle i haven't had time to retake even though we defeated the sultan right after there is never enough time to build a siege tower before some one starts singeing one of my own castles. The Rhodoks got a few of my very unhappy vassals to join them but all their land is well within my kingdom so it will be quickly taken back once the war to the north is finished.

PSA: You can get around the level 63-level 2000 glitch when you cheat levels by exporting and importing your character

Title says it all. If you do the cheat to instantly level yourself up, when you reach level 63 you will find that you'll instantaneously go to level 2000-something. This doesn't seem cause for concern until you realise every bandit camp and peasant uprising now spawns thousands of troops. To get around it, when you've put all of your points into the various things at level 2000, export your character and then immediately import them again. This sends you back down below level 63 but keeps your points, so you will remain incredibly OP without having to worry about the thousands of enemies nor will you have to edit the save file. Cuts out a whole load of bullocks. Happy harvesting season. Submitted May 24, 2019 at 07:25AM by lePsykopaten http://bit.ly/2JDSKJi

New bug for me at least: me/my kingdom was at war with itself!

I thought this would be interesting, since it was so absurd and I'm fairly sure I've at least not personally come across it before, and a quick search of the subreddit didn't turn up anything either. I'm playing Fire and Sword, the Muscovy storyline, and am at the final stage where I'm Tsar (Stepan Razin, who is involved in the earlier parts of the questline, has despawned I think), and have to conquer the rest of the map. I've already eliminated the Cossacks and recently the Tatars, and pretty much immediately after the latter, Poland declared war on me (well, in-game it actually said Muscovy declared war on them, but I didn't order it, so idk). Then last night at one point I went a bit wtf, as when I was trying to enter Kiev, a town held by me personally, it gave me the siege options instead of the usual menu. The logs etc. still show me as ruler, I was still getting income, and if I successfully sneaked into town, I could manage the garrison troops etc....

After you have beaten a Free Folk vassal, he/she will tell you to stay at the southern side of the wall, must be winter is coming. 3. 50 Unsullied can be recruited for 75000 in Qohor when you talk to the good master in the tavern and buy him some beers. They are expensive but really worth it and are the best troop in the game, you don't have to pay them every week like other soldiers but still cost a price to upgrade to veteran Unsullied. 4.

How I think invading should work

NOTE: This post is NOT a rant. This is just an idea I came up while playing today. ​ You know that thing when another faction marches past like 5 fiefs just to take another faction's city? The perfect example for this is Swadia, whose cities get taken over like 25 minutes into the game. And I just find that silly. If another army can march straight to another faction's city and take it, then what is even a point of a castle? To just be there? The little amount of medieval knowledge I posses tells me that castles/forts were used to scout enemy movement, to host a lord's family, to stand as a border between an invading army and the faction, to harass enemy armies by attacking their forager parties/scouts and so on. Imagine this: Canada and the US go to war. Canada launches an invasion, and instead of making progress down South, they just straight up march do Philadelphia and boom. Philadelphia is a Canadian city now. Doesn't matter that it's still surrounded by ...

Preferred war strategy in Warband?

Both in native and Pendor I tend to go for a sort of Blitzkrieg strategy. As soon as war is declared I marshal my vassals and immediately siege the nearest city (only exception is if there are no close by easy-to-take cities but a very close and poorly garrisoned castle). Siege, autocalc the battle if my numbers are absolutely overwhelming (like triple or more) or play manually if they're not, choose to defer naming of a lord (so the fief gets automatically garrisoned, with about 30 troops in native or 80 in Pendor). Then rush the next nearest fief and do the same. I skip anything that requires a siege tower, and always have a fodder companion that maxes engineering. The logic behind this strategy is that even though it weakens your marshalled force, the fact that the opposing lords are rapidly losing their fiefs will piss them off very quickly, and due to their unhappiness a lot of discontent will be sowed, and the enemy vassals will choose to meander off on their own and raid v...

Just a feature I'd love to see: mountain pass choke points

It always disappointed me when playing as Vaegirs, the Khergit armies would cross the mountains without any resistance, or when travelling in Rhodok lands, warbands would pass through mountain villages and continue on their merry way, or armies would pass each other in the canyon near Dhirim. I enjoy exploiting geography in all kinds of games, it really adds to the immersion. How good would it be if you could hold a choke point and deny passage? Not just for armies, but villagers and caravans? Suddenly, the strategy of war has another dimension. Even playing as a bandit would be more fun. I haven't heard of this being a feature in Bannerlord, and if it hasn't been announced yet I doubt it'll make it into the game, but its fun to think about! You could carve out a small mountain kingdom and charge a toll, deny enemy supply chains, be entrenched to defend when that warband rolls up the hill....

I’ve made a decent amount from looting and doing some quests so the cost isn’t bad at just over 300 denars All I know is that my next step is to develop some enterprises and my skills as well as making my warband more effective. I was wondering if you guys could offer some advice on what the next steps are just so that I know I’m in the right direction and if you could tell me the things I’ll need to learn. I would love something I could read or study that would make me a better battle commander, I’d love to know what I’m do...

NEVER underestimate leadership

I always rush my way to 21 charisma and read "The Life of Alixenus the Great", which gets me all the way to 8 leadership. This gives you +40 troops, reduces wages by 40%, and increases morale by 40% You literally never need to worry about morale again, and you can field a massive army with barely any cost. Seriously, leadership is the best skill in the entire game. Submitted May 20, 2019 at 07:02PM by letho2500 http://bit.ly/2W81Q7h

Sanity Thread - What have you accomplished waiting for Bannerlord

Three Kingdoms Total War is coming out this Thursday, a game designed from scratch to release between a dozen Bannerlord Dev blogs. ​ I look back to Bannerlord, and back to the Kid me who fell in love with warband. I got into the game around 2011. Warband 1.143 I think, since then I've graduated High school, finished College, started a Career. I'm about to move into my next stage in life and Bannerlord is still QA'ing Child Soldiers. Gaming wise, really got into historical strategy games, Total War and Company of Heroes. Fell in love with Fallout for a bit but 76 really kick the bucket for me ​ So what have you been up to, fellow butterlords? Submitted May 20, 2019 at 02:53PM by Space_doughnut http://bit.ly/2HsSOcy

Resource: Lord Personalities Spreadsheet

Hey all, Here's a handy spreadsheet I made to track lord personalities. (Google Drive link) I kept it simple ('Good' for Upstanding / Good-natured; 'Bad' for cunning/self-righteous/bad-tempered/quarrelsome; and 'martial' for martial since some people like recruiting martial lords). I also pre-filled in the "senior" lords of each faction who have static personalities, and left blank for all the lords whose personalities are randomly generated each game. My info is based on scouring the web and some in-game experiences. If anything's incorrect, I'll update! Feel free to make copies for yourself, amend them for mods, etc. Let me know if you have any feedback! I haven't found anything quite like it so I don't think this will be redundant for the community. Submitted May 20, 2019 at 01:54PM by Athruil http://bit.ly/2Qcot4V

Adventures in 1257AD: The fall of Jerusalem and the true hero's "The Men from Ma'an"

Karak is loaded with all the troops needed for the attempt at taking Jerusalem but with the castle holding over 500 it will be a struggle. I tried the standard tactics of Archers to thin them out then hit them with elite infantry but these attacks failed with big loss's and no effect on the castle garrison. It is obvious that I will need lots of help! The Marshal has called a campaign to take Tarus from the Sultan and I move to join the army. We were successful but the loss's to our side were huge. I went to recruit from a nearby city and as I was heading back to Karak when the Teutonic Order had caught our army. We had about 900 vs their 1400.. I throw the weight of 200 Knights into the fray! The Teutonic army was not prepared for this and a important victory was claimed. Meanwhile the Sultan had besieged Montfort Castle and the army went to break the siege but as they arrived the Sultans army attacked and scattered the Crusaders catching several in separate battles. I joined...

Mods that have freelancer and if possible an invading faction

Hi, as usual, every year I like to start playing Warband again. The problem is that I already played many good mods and I'd like to try something else. If possible, I'd like to pick a mod with freelancer and with an invading faction (like the dark knights on Native expansion or the zann in Perisno). I heard that a new dawn is a good mod, but last time it was last updated like 4 years ago. Does anyone know a god mod to try? I've already tried/played: Perisno, native expansion, pop, both got mods and Floris. Bonus point if it's a native like mod. Thanks.

What are the best M&B mods for me?

I prefer the Viking conquest engine since everything looks better I prefer no fantasy or low fantasy I dont want it to be to hard. Like Pendor i think was pretty hard and with Ice and Fire it was annoying how much it took to raise and keep an army. I prefer it set in the West or a West like world rather then more of an Asian themed world, if you know what i mean. Submitted May 19, 2019 at 04:55PM by AliBoyyy http://bit.ly/2VzWInS

Sabotaging and Destroying my own faction.

Best way to sabotage and weaken your own faction before turning against it? I play diplomacy. But anyways, that shouldn't be a big problem, I have more than 1800 soldiers total, 150 of which are elite elite. Submitted May 19, 2019 at 08:01AM by ondronCZ http://bit.ly/30waXhi

Playing Mordhau just reminds me how good MB is.

Honestly, I loved MB when I played it a decade ago, and I still love it. The melee system is simple, but deep. Not like Chivalry or Mordhau which introduced all these complicated, stupid, things like feints and morphs. MB has these mechanics, but they aren't deliberate, they're simply a facet of the base system. I like that MB allows you feint into your block, as opposed to these games, where it feels more like Street Fighter than a medieval combat game. MB never tried to force you to memorize animation timings or when to feint or morph, it just let you play. I hope to play Bannerlord soon, because I miss playing a good melee game, built on fundamentals, instead of cheese. Submitted May 18, 2019 at 01:36PM by versipelis http://bit.ly/2WSpIJ4

[POP] Is it bad to give a city to a low renowed vassal?

So I gave Ethos, the wealthiest town to a sarleon lord that has 600 renown. He got all the votes of my vassals. Do his max party size increase when I gave them a town? Becaues right now his max party size is 130-ish (According to the character page) I'm afraid he will constantly get beaten and can't field a sizable army Submitted May 18, 2019 at 10:40AM by jericho1221 http://bit.ly/2JrIvba

How Do I get a Companion?

I just started playing and I have a good 8 hours so far, so I wanted to try to add a companion to my party. The problem is that whenever I ask one to join me, my character says "Unfortunately, I can't take any more hands in my party right now." Why is this happening?

ACOK 7.1 RELEASED: Huge changes made. If you've been on the fence, NOW is the time to try it.

ModDb page: https://www.moddb.com/mods/a-clash-of-kings/downloads Changelog (for 7.0 / 7.1): https://www.moddb.com/mods/a-clash-of-kings/features/changelog5 Personal Opinion: This version (7.1) feels very fresh. A lot of positive changes have been introduced and needed optimizations have been made. This version feels more difficult than previous versions but I personally prefer that. Some users are reporting that it is very difficult to find companions. I cannot confirm if that bug has been fixed in 7.1. As such you may want to select "gather companions" before starting the game. Hope you all enjoy! Submitted May 17, 2019 at 12:23PM by TAEHSAEN http://bit.ly/2VtuQSw

Rhodoks besiege Grunwalder Castle with 1500 men - should I defend it?

I have my own kingdom and everything is going pretty good - until Rhodoks AND Sarranids decided to declare war on me. Now a great host of 1500 Rhodoks is besieging Grunwalder Castle, and all Lords together have around 300 Sergeants and 400 Sharpshooters and I have only 170 heavy cavalry and about 80 garrison in Grunwalder Castle.

Sth. similar to persistent world

So I had been playing PW for about 3 months and I wanted to play again but sadly i had to figure it out that the player base had been reduced drastically. So I started to find a game similar to that mod, but with bigger player base. Do you know any games like that? Another question in my head is with bannerlord. Are the devs planning anything like pw in the vanilla game? Submitted May 17, 2019 at 04:22AM by axapapa1 http://bit.ly/2Q8fnpF

What is wrong with the Nova Aetas trait system?

This chart seems to be completely wrong https://2img.net/h/s26.postimg.cc/5mkqp9ji1/Untitled-1.png because the game just hands out negative traits for absolutely no reason. I just dropped from healthy to unhealthy despite literally having more food variety (triple digit morale bonus!) and food in general than the previous week, and I got Faithless despite having triple digit Piety and donating and praying at the church constantly WHILE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A CRUSADE Is there any way to turn this broken system off?

Better sieges in Warband!

a chinese modding team has recently released a video of their mod "In the Name of Jerusalem", yes another crusader mod but this one's different. it has raisable ladders, battering rams, double layered cities, amphibious assaults, archers on siege towers and more. It seems people have grown sick of waiting for Bannerlord sieges. They say it'll release this may, you can see the sieges in their video on moddb: https://www.moddb.com/mods/in-the-name-of-jerusalem Submitted May 16, 2019 at 04:12PM by poopidyscoop78 http://bit.ly/2W6r71C

Adventures in 1257AD

Playing as a Vassal to England, my lord, Sir Norman Earl of Waterford obtained a village and captured 2 castles while we eliminated the Irish. I lost one to a army of 1800 but still retain one in addition to the one I built from the village. While speaking to the King I noticed the option to go on a Crusade.. One of my objectives in this play through was to bring the holy lands under Christian control. I checked out how the holy wars were going and to my surprise the King of Jerusalem had no fiefs and the faction was down to 1 town and 2 castles. Yep, time to go! I put mostly infantry along with a few archers and 75 English Knights in my army. The English King will watch my fiefs while I am on leave and I hope my girl will not lose her desire for me! As I arrived the Sarens were besieging the last city with a massive 3000 man force but in doing so they left 2 castles with less than 100 troops. I took both while the 2 armies fought over the city which we lost and gave them to the King....

[AWOIAF] Anyone interested in a Game of Thrones music mod ?

"Wait, that's illegal !" I'm motivated to incorporate as much game of thrones as I can find in the mod, but since this isn't exactly legal and shit I'm of course going to refrain from posting it online. But I can provide the files for those who want the music as well. Note that I haven't started yet, but since I'm doing it anyway, I'm asking is there is any interested for such a mod.

Am I the only one that seems to stall out at around day 500 or after you get your first castle?

I don't know what it is. In Floris I got to day 500 got my first castle and then stopped. Now I am currently playing Prophesy of Pendor and I just got my first castle and have seemingly stalled out. I am in a weird position where I feel like there's no challenge for me at the moment. I can lead an army of 135 and am like level 26.
