Mid tier armor just looks cooler

Tips for expanding my Kingdom

Having reached Tier 4 and being at the point in the main quest line where I was asked to make a decision, I decided to make my own Kingdom with blackjack and hookers. Got myself a party of ~200 men. Captured a Castle whilst the enemy wasn't looking. Made peace as soon as his reinforcements of 500 men arrived. Yay. Rinse and repeat 2 times more, except that now I have ~250 men and 2 parties with ~60 each for a grand total in my army of ~350 to 400 soldiers.

Not too shabby, but considering the lords running around with 700 to 1200 not really a great force actually. I mean, i can beat 700 guys with my 250, considering most of my people are close to top tier, but it is costly. And I can hardly beat a properly defended castle AND a lord or even king in close succession.

And what I definitely can not do is siege a town. Especially not the one next to my castles. Not with a garrison of 700 in it.

However, i feel like I could really use a town, as castles only get you so far and money is a problem. it's not like I'm going bakrupt soon, but I do make -500 to -1000 per day and if I'm at peace (which, considering the strength of my neighbors i want to be most of the time) there's at best the odd minor faction to trample on and they don't show up that often.

So now I'm wondering: How could I realistically siege a town with a garrison of close to 700 men and keep it? My own forces, if I combine them all will probably be at around 400 to 450 men (all of them could be upper tier troops if I transfer forces around a bit I guess), which might be enough to take the town, but probably won't cut it if reinforcements show up either during the siege or closely afterwards.

What else could I do? Pay off the lord holding the town to join me instead? I haven't tried yet, as the guy doesn't really like me, but even if I could, I'm afraid it'll be quite costly (more money than I have I guess). Any other ideas? Should I just go and keep on sieging castles? Should I create more parties so my army grows stronger? Should I look for another, lightly defended town, even if it is further away?

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...

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.
