Looking for advice on troops for a infantry only army (

Like the title said I’m looking at building a foot soldier only army and don’t know what are the best troops for what roles……….but those Fian Champions go hard af but lack the vibe I want and that is a solid melee unit(s) and some archers to rain hell down submitted by /u/Short_Shoe_122 [link] [comments]

Is being short optimal?

Does making your character shorter make them have a smaller hurtbox, or do you always have the same one regardless of size. I was wondering if playing on the shortest height would technically be ‘optimal’ submitted by /u/DominusValum [link] [comments]

factions from history to add

I'm wondering and hoping they add more factions to the game later on like a Shogun factions, Greek faction like Sparta and Athens and more besides Nord's! I want a massive war to slaughter through from are past dynasty's, kingdoms, clans and factions, and the map to be larger to conquer more. thoughts even though that this might not come true. submitted by /u/Death21452121 [link] [comments]

The ultimate strategy to finish the game

Have you ever gotten to the point where you are one of the major lords and can field a 200+ army on your own but get tured if constant war? We'll i have the strategy for you. It's called "Kill All Captured Lord/Lady". Who needs friends anyways. If they don't like that you kill your nations enemy's then they are trators to any just waiting for their turn in line. submitted by /u/NoEconomy4572 [link] [comments]

Formations

What do you guys do to counter units? For me if I’m going up against a lot of horse archers I put my infantry in a circle to protect archers then let cavalry deal with them If I’m up against a lot of infantry I go in a shield wall then make my infantry advance then I let my cavalry flank and put my horse archers deal with archers then put them behind infantry to destroy them. And for cavalry I’ll put my infantry in a square and archers behind and then have my cavalry stop the charges from the cavalry and slowly advance with my infantry. Just wanna know what you guys do for certain units and what you think is affective. submitted by /u/Regular_Salt2661 [link] [comments]

Smithing leveling issue

Hello, I am starting to smith in Bannerlord but the leveling is slow slow that it's not feasible to do, each piece i craft gets me like 100xp, which means I would probably be smiting for hundreds of in game years before I got it to a high level. Meanwhile I watch a video on YouTube where someone crafts two items and gets a level. What is going on here? My endurance is 6, my focus points are maxed on smithing, and still leveling it is impossible, it is currently 70. submitted by /u/Unable-Dependent1827 [link] [comments]

Hi all. I've chosen parts for my dream bastard sword that I would like to forge, but it seems not all of the parts are for this type of weapon.

Difference Between Nords and Sturgians?

Aren't they the same faction/people? I thought the Sea Raiders represented the "true" Nords in-game, but essentially the Viking theme is already taken. Do you think they are going to be copy-paste Sturgia (so two Sturgia/Nord factions with identical units like the three Empire factions) or something...more? submitted by /u/Oldwoodforest [link] [comments]

Launcher Won't Load

This is a first for me, but maybe it's happening to other people. I click play on Steam, it starts to load the launcher, and then it quits. I click the desktop shortcut, it starts to load the launcher, and then it quits. I try to launch through NVIDIA, it starts to load the launcher, and then it quits. I've tried going directly through the executable but it just crashes on load. Can't even get to the point of disabling mods because the launcher won't load, and it was running fine with mods yesterday. Didn't change a single thing. Anyone have any ideas? submitted by /u/theaidanmattis [link] [comments]

Mercenaries from another land

I'm wanting to do a merc playthrough. My idea was that id pick a kingdom to serves that is different from my own background and only use units from my culture. So if i chose to serve a valandian as a khusait id have to travel back to khusait to recruit more men. My idea is that I'm a foreigner who will supply the kingdom with special units. I was hoping for suggestions on which culture sounds the most fun to do this as and who do I serve? submitted by /u/Any_Air_7273 [link] [comments]

I need help managing lords in native warband.

I founded my own kingdom. I completely conquered the kingdom of Swadia. I also destroyed the Vaegirs. But I never paid attention to one thing. My lords betrayed me and went to another kingdom.

I raided a Sea raider hideout and lost 1 Legionare to harpoons, and I've lost Many oathsworns and seargents etc except sturgian axemen to Sea raiders on bannerlord difficulty clearly this is undeniable evidence sturgia is the most superior faction, I rest my case your honor. submitted by /u/MasterUnski [link] [comments]

A rant about how good this game could be

I understand that this game was just abandoned unfinished but I just have to rant about stupid little stuff they could have added. Why as a king can I not give basic orders to other armies or the ai just be a bit more competent. Here we are fighting Aserai, pushed them all the way to sanala and now a 600 person army is taking this castle while a fresh army of 1400 men bobs around doing nothing, the other army is leaving the area, it even says they’re moving to defend but have just sat there, I shouldn’t have to leave halfway through a siege to take care of it while half of my clans do nothing. We’re not even at war with anyone else. submitted by /u/Ericobrix [link] [comments]

My inner monologue every time before I do it anyways

submitted by /u/GusGangViking18 [link] [comments]

Is it really easy to be elected king or did I luck out?

I'm playing Bannerlord for the first time and after having too much trouble starting my own kingdom in Vlandia I decided I'd just go the easier path and become a vassal and either get elected when Derthert bites it or rebel when I have some fiefs. So I find Derthert and swear allegiance only for him to die of old age the very next day and somehow I've been elected the next king. Like I did put my name forward on the election screen but there were two other candidates and I only used 20 Influence. Is that all it takes? submitted by /u/Knight_Aeterna [link] [comments]

Need more advice

Recently asked for some advice on here and thanks to everyone’s help I’ve done well and I’m looking for more advice. I have 12 clans in my kingdom and all but 2 have 10+ members. I’m wondering if I should get more clans or if not now then when? My biggest rival in power is the northern empire and southern empire, how should I go about fighting them without much loss? Anything else I should be doing? submitted by /u/Ericobrix [link] [comments]

Lost all of my conquered castles and cities.

I was in a war against the Aserai and me and my kingdom conquered deep into their territory, taking 4 castles (including one that was originally ours before the war but we took it back) and 3 cities. While in the middle of sieging another castle, I get a notice that the Aserai are requesting peace. I decided to finish my siege before I responded and when I finally finished I noticed that everything we took went back to them. Was this a part of the peace deal or a very annoying glitch? submitted by /u/EarlyStar2449 [link] [comments]

Do you guys manually command large armies? Like 500+

I really enjoy commanding my troops when I’m solo in a party and it’s just me and my men. However during the larger battles it seems like the same strategies don’t work, with reinforcements spawning in front and behind and all over the place. Could anyone give me some tactics/strategies for commanding a large amount of troops at once (500-1000+)? submitted by /u/Brahskididdler [link] [comments]

Can I increase max battle size ?

Hi 👋 I’m playing mount and blade war and on Mac. Battles are capped at maximum 150 units. It’s really fun but it kind of sucks that I can’t have massive battles - reinforcements kind of ruin that massive battle feeling. I played Prophecy of Pendor and you can have I think 500 or more. Unfortunately Prophecy of Pendor is pretty hard and I suck at it. Anyway for me to have massive battles in Vanilla like in Pendor ? I assume you can change by editing the game code or downloading a mod submitted by /u/Civil_Inflation919 [link] [comments]

Why are the non-crafted lances so short?

Looking at the heavy sturgian, heavy vlandian, and noble khuzait lances, it seems that the lengths top put around 200, which seems really short to me. I can use crafted lances with length 235+ pretty easily and I’ve had companions do really well with them too. It just seems odd to me, and I think it’s one of the reasons that shock cav is relatively underpowered in this game compared to other troops types submitted by /u/Legitimate_Smile855 [link] [comments]

Dramalord + Bannertrainer+ + Spouses Expanded

These mods play around with the social elements of the game I get a notification that Dramalord detects the other two and that it disables marriage or pregnancy.

I’m hoping one will take precedent and work with all interactions or something. Anybody know how these work combined? submitted by /u/Chesney-J [link] [comments]

Vlandian Superiority Complex.

I have a question for the class, accompanied by a story of my most recent playthrough. I decided to get as far as possible in the game being 120% committed to a single culture. I decided on valandians because I feel they don't have a weak point. Their calvary is my favorite in the game, infantry can usually hold their own against anyone, and if positions correctly sharpshooters are superior to everyone but Fian Champions. I only garrison my Fiefs with Vlandian soldiers. And I am sworn to the Vlandian kingdom. At this point I have what I consider to be unraidable 1 town and 4 castles. All have very good if not maxed out buildings, and over 600 garrison+militia most of which are sharpshooters that destroy raider before they ever reach a wall. And have climbed to over 400 influence points while using them generously to vote. The Vlandians own approximately 30% of the map at this point and we usually end every war with the enemy paying us out. I run around with 250 of the highest qua...

"+%15 damage against shields by troops in your formation." Does this perk work on horse archers' bow as well?

I'm on console. Should I try warband

You can surmise mods are out of the question. I've seen over the years a lot of you are upset about what bannerlord could have been, but I think it's been a little easier on me because I have no frame of reference. Didn't keep up with development and didn't play the previous one. What the game is now is all I've ever known. That said, should I try Warband for a more fleshed out experience? I'm not sure how it compares. submitted by /u/Background_Value9869 [link] [comments]

Just Finished My Mighty Conquest

Sorry for the shitty picture (on console) but I just finished my conquest of Calradia. No mods, no scumming. Led the Southern Empire because I really like the Southern Empire. Only took me two generations but I completely wiped every faction off of the map after hundreds of sieges and battles. At one point we were down and reduced to two towns and a few castles.

This is for anyone needing fine steel

So I’ve googled and done everything I can but for some reason nobody is answering my much needed question fully: which weapons give you fine steel early on? So far I’ve found a couple. So for anyone who’s desperate to find a way to get some fine steel early-mid game these weapons smelt into fine steel Pugio Themaskene pike Voulge Tribesmen throwing dagger So far the best one very early on is the Pugio as it’s extremely cheap, but I found that you can find in most towns a stockpile of 100+ of tribesmen daggers that once you’ve got the money are fairly cheap. Themaskene pikes and Voulge’s also give fine steel but definitely are a good chunk of money. If anyone has any more weapons they’ve found that smelt into fine steel please let me know because I’d like to add it to my list submitted by /u/Particular-Claim9639 [link] [comments]

Do enemy armies always automatically B-line to your new castles?

I swear I cannot advance as a vassal. I'll play as a merc for a long time, build up some good money, a seasoned/upgraded army, and then when I'm ready, I'll join as a vassal. Usually, the first castle the faction conquers (after I join), they'll give to me, assuming because I'm the only vassal without any fiefs. But almost the instant they do so, the enemy pretty much b-lines it, without fail, without exception, like clockwork every single time. The instant I receive any land, I know for a fact that a huge army is about to show up to take it. I can never keep a castle for longer than like 2 weeks before an enemy army of like 900-1200 shows up to sack it, and my own faction is suddenly no where to be found and does absolutely nothing to try and help me defend it. So they sack it, I lose it, my faction later takes another castle, gives that one to me (since I'm the only vassal without any fiefs), but... like clockwork... the enemy b-lines it and sacks it. Rinse ...

I genuinely can’t bring myself to do anything besides making a horse archer centric army

They’re just so fucking cool and you only need like 50 of them to take out most lords unless they also have a lot of Calvary. Like half of my games are just me picking off random villagers, caravans, and lords, then running away when an actual army shows up. I fucking love the mongols, even with Eagles Rising I picked the Sakaii or whatever they’re called. Like I tried to make a mixed army focusing on Fian Champions and sure they were good but they weren’t them. Horse archers are just so strong and you can’t even call them cheese because that’s just how they worked irl.

What are your usual first steps in the new game?

What fo you usually do when you start a new game? What are the first steps of your John Bannerlord? For me it is the following: - obsolete: look for tournaments, especially those which have horses as reward. Easiest way to get early game money. I abandoned this way now though, the growth is way too fast. - buy a donkey and start to commerce. Like, buy silver in Ortysia, sell in Lageta etc. First 10k are to be done this way, avoiding as possible the confronations with bandits. - simultaneously I start to explore to find good companions, hire them, buy them horses and donkeys to trade further. Once I get 2-3 of them I start to hire peasants to fight bandits. - also I do various small tasks in villages and cities, the ones which don't understand much fightings. Bring grains; deliver some stuff elsewhere etc. How does it work for you? Anything else interesting to do? submitted by /u/Cathayraht [link] [comments]

Attempting to explain Neretzes Folly.

If I got stuff wrong please explain it to me. Neretzes folly is a quest you receive during the campaign, requiring you to ask lords about the Battle and such, I’m simply trying to piece together the lore and explain it from a battlefield view rather then a giant abomination of thoughts and small answers. Basically, Neretzes Folly, as it’s called. Was an absolute nightmare for the calradian empire. It saw the overall collapse into civil war and possibly the worst battle ever fought in the continents history. As one could describe it as a massacre or a shit-show. The battle involved two sides. Firstly we have the Empire, Khuzaits and then the Aserai. Secondly we have the Sturgians, the Battanians, and the Vlandians. Now for the battle itself, From what we can guess without diving in too much, we can piece together that firstly- It was a significant battle- It resulted in the complete fracture of the Calradian Empire- It resulted in A LOT, of dead people. (I mean a lot of them too...
