Beta Mod Release - Hold the Line: Infantry AI - No more moshpit

Hi all!! A few weeks ago I asked here how you wanted your infantry to fight ( old post ). The top answer by far was "make them hold the line", so that's what I built. It was called Better Infantry AI back then, now it's Hold the Line , and it's out as a beta. Available in Nexus Mods. What it does: No more moshpit: soldiers keep their place in the line and step in and back a little instead of turning into one big blob. AI formations that make contact switch to a charge, so both sides fight the same way. Shields in the front rank: shield and spear first, then other shields, then spears and pikes, then everyone else. Works in shield walls too. No more falxmen eating javelins and arrows in the front while the shield guys wait in the back. Rear ranks fight with spears: the second rank thrusts past the guy in front instead of hitting their back and getting stunned. AI spearmen also keep the spear out more instead of always pulling the sidearm. Deep format...

so just how powerful could a nord rhodok combination be?

so i was entering a siege first solo siege of my playthough i mostly had nord huscarls and rhodok sharpshooters plus a bit of swadian knights in there as well but mostly nords. it was against the vagiers and it was full 100 so all of my units were coming for this siege.

so siege start i have my knights stay back for lacking shields mostly and let my huscarls move up to pull the siege tower and line up my sharpshooters to hit the enemy and boy did they.

most of their archers gone, Half of their infantry gone, the siege tower was almost their and i sent my knights in to help one shieldless knight was shot though sadly.

as the siege tower was docked i got all of my knights and huscarls to follow me into the last remaining infantry that was in our was and told the sharpshooter to stop shooting their crossbows so my infantry wouldnt get hit.

i had the huscarls stop following and they rushed in first while keeping the knights near me just in case but it wasnt needed huscarls plowed through within seconds we were in and i let the knights join the huscarls assualt and i got to work.

not fighting infantry but finding archer spots for my crossbowmen to make it easier for my infantry less in waves of enemy's

i found one and got to work i put my archers to follow me and while they made their way over i killed the one archer there once my archers were where i needed them to be.

i guarded them and had my huscarls and knights hold on the stairs bunched up so when ever a wave of enemy's spawned half wouldnt reach my infantry from arrows and the other half that did make it would be shredded by my huscarls.

i ended up winning and owning my own kingdom my "casualty's" were the knight at the beginning of the siege and that was it the ended up taking over 100 casualty's and i only took one thats a pretty hard hit for the vagiers.

i hope you enjoyed my post have a great day/night

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...

👥 All Bannerlord wanderers/companions

⚠️ ANNOUNCEMENT While editing my previous post, I bumped against the 40,000 characters limit, which was unknown to me. I decided to take the following course of action: to avoid encountering the character limit again, I split the wanderers/companions and marriage prospects post into 2 separate ones, with "Bannerlord" in the title for SEO reasons. Furthermore, instead of maintaining posts for each branch, the active posts will be dedicated to the beta branch, with a snapshot of the main branch values accessible for download if pertinent. ​ Up to date as of beta e1.1.0; editing in progress, pardon my dust... e1.0.10 snapshot temporarily redirects to the post PLEASE READ THE FAQ BEFORE ASKING A QUESTION. The purpose of this post is to provide pertinent information about all of Bannerlord's potential companions. Efforts will be made to keep it up to date, and expand on its information. Currently present are the 64 wanderer templates found in spspecialcharacters.xml ...
