Welcome back future Emperors, Khans, Jarls and Sultans, in this episode we continue our series covering some of the pre-battle strategy that is necessary for you to succeed in Bannerlord. I cover several important subjects that will help you with Kingdom, a summary of how I form my army composition, what troops I like, how much of each kind and then a little on army and noble management. I recommend the playlist for those who REALLY want to get better at the game and dominate.
This episode has been refreshed, with better audio, a more in-depth philosophy on everything from how to develop characters and companions, how to designate party members optimally, city management and more pre-battle complexities.
Please comment, like and subscribe if you're interested in more of my ultra-late-game campaign, that may end up ending in utter despair, but that's the challenge of it. Any challenge where success is assured is no challenge at all.
My campaign is an extremely late-game campaign where I am resolved to give no peace to these scum Kingdoms attacking me - seven of the eight have been at war for years, with only Sturgia at a neutral stance. My family of warriors is now large though and with what remaining strength and valor we can must, we stand against the map of Calradia.
Join me on this adventure if you like huge battles, the use of advanced tactical maneuvers and intense Bannerlord gameplay, and subscribe to my channel if you want to follow along. This campaign is very lightly modded:
I use five to seven mods:
Time Pass Mod: Realistic Lighting for battles and town scenes(the time CHANGES):
www.nexusmods.com/mountandbla...
RTS Mod(for better unit flag colors/overhead view and using other characters in battle):
www.nexusmods.com/mountandbla...
Immersive Battlefields:
A great mod that adds battle cries, roaring troops and more:
www.nexusmods.com/mountandbla...
Lord Retinue Uptier(Makes the enemy forces stronger, much less peasants and lower ranked troops)
www.nexusmods.com/mountandbla...
Improved AI Troops(Also makes enemy lords and their armies tougher by giving them a higher daily xp rate. This means you'll routinely face armies with HUGE numbers of the highest tier units, sometimes four or five times the normal amount in vanilla Bannerlord): www.nexusmods.com/mountandbla...
Death for all: This mod allows you to set the rate at which nobles die more often. I want both a harder challenging late-game but also a more realistic game. If you're cut down with a massive aserai two-handed axe, you shouldn't just be injured 99.9% of the time. It's a very customizable mod so you can just a little more death or set the death rate so high you get several deaths every battle. The number I often like is '10', some deaths but not a massacre of nobles...
www.nexusmods.com/mountandbla...
I also use the Dismemberment Plus Mod: It's highly customizable and works seamlessly with the new beta(and versions back to 1.28). I thoroughly recommend it if you enjoy carnage!:
steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...
I've also used Realistic Battle Mod in the past and highly recommend it for Ai and battle realism BUT I find the pace too slow for my taste and the AI is actually rather predictable after a half dozen battles. Still I wanted to put a plug in for it here, it's a GREAT mod and highly configurable. www.nexusmods.com/mountandbla...
Much of the music and inspiration for this and other videos in the channel are inspired by Epic History TV - probably THE best channel on youtube(and the internet for that matter) covering the Napoleonic wars. With amazing work Epic History TV takes you through the dramatic and incredibly story of Napoleon covering all of his most famous battles. I HIGHLY recommend it.

Great run down man. I have been watching your content for the last few weeks and have really enjoyed it. I have implemented cav screens and it has been incredibly useful to reform my troops to accommodate reinforcements. Truly a game changer. I think your tip about feeding your cities will be just as helpful for me. I'm a couple weeks into a world domination campaign and want to increase my income rather than continue to fund the kingdom off of heirloom swords.

I honestly hate when ppl claim someone cheats in a sandbox game like Bannerlord. The whole point of the game is to play it how you want, there's mods and stuff to improve things that you dislike about the game or to mix things up and try different things. It is also laughable that they think you're cheating because of the amount of gold you have. I think there is very little use for gold once you get to a certain point in the game and it is so easy to rack up millions, especially if you do smithing. I appreciate your videos and they are very well made. It's good that you're not too bothered by the ppl calling you a cheater, but definitely don't let them get to you lol. Keep up the good work.
@HeadlessHorsemanProductions
@HeadlessHorsemanProductions Месяц назад
I appreciate the support. Though I've used mods to alter the game, and sometimes use things like reduced player damage, I'm trying to play the game at an EXTREME difficulty, so it also doesn't make any sense to me that I would be trying to cheat to then make it easier. Why add mods that make it harder if I wanted it easier through cheats??
@malicioussw7654
@malicioussw7654 Месяц назад
I think that's fine and normal, a lot of ppl play with Diplomacy and stuff which can make certain things easier. I don't see it as an issue in a single-player game. From a content creator's perspective, I don't feel it matters as long as you're upfront about any mods that might change gameplay. From what I've seen, I'd say every youtuber I've watched will usually list any mods used in their gameplay. I think I just hate when ppl try to dictate how you're meant to play your own solo game haha

Love the video it really helped me out with character and companions because I always struggled with stats and I’d have this amazing army but my companions and I had really shity perks for commanding troops and we would get crushed by other armies with competent leaders, and my guy would just be this super soldier that would take like 100-150 down with them but that doesn’t matter when your troops get instantly crushed

Unfortunately in many cases it's hard to fix things quickly, especially if you have companions with widely spread skills. But FORTUNATELY family members can generally be guided towards dominance, either as a leader/castle defender or a brutal murderer in your army. Happy killing and thanks for the support brother!

It took me many hours to understand that you can either build a great party leader or a great warrior, or a half ass at both. Reminds me of a Civilization 4 quote: "If you chase two rabbits, you will not catch either one". To this day, I am not satisfied with the description of the perks, I had a ticket opened back in Jan 2021 about the terminology being used.
@HeadlessHorsemanProductions
@HeadlessHorsemanProductions Месяц назад
Yep. If that character gets VERY high level, eventually they can be great at one half and good at another but never GREAT at both, no doubt by design. Love the Civ quote, hadn't heard that one before. Certainly the perks have been half-baked since the beginning and some are absurdly powerful(250 jav perk), but it's at least a fun puzzle for us to put together and try different things. There is no PERFECT spec in my opinion and to each his own but I know I'd always rather kill to get better at leading than lead and get better at killing first.

11:30 Heh, nobles in Bannerlord have genetic memory. Each knows what their parents know. :P With regards to Influence: It's a legitimate game mechanic. "You're the boss" only works as long as people respect you. No influence, no giving orders.
@HeadlessHorsemanProductions
@HeadlessHorsemanProductions Месяц назад
In real life respect is a two way street, the worst leaders I've ever worked with/for always assumed respect is automatic. Naturally that's a disastrous mindset. I *do* like the influence system but I think the enemy probably needs a boost as in my campaign they often cannot hold large armies for more than 5-6 days...

I've been messing around with a few of your tips from the last video like this. I haven't specialized any of my family members for leading a party, just causing death. Do you feel a difference if one of your war lords were to lead opposed to your designated captains?
@HeadlessHorsemanProductions
@HeadlessHorsemanProductions Месяц назад
Ya, for sure, those not specced for leadership lose more. There are various perks within the steward/tactics/leadership line, not to mention medicine, and ESPECIALLY once they have 290+ medicine, they can routinely defeat forces 50% larger than their own(with auto-resolve). I hope the tips help, the friends and subscribers here are like pupils and comrades in arms and when you guys kick ass with help from the guides here(or our conversations), so much the better and it makes me very contented. I can add too that much of what I do in the game I have learned from wise and experienced players, like you. Cheers to success!

can you show how many clans are eliminated in your campain? i downloaded one of the mods but dont know how to tweak the chance of noble deaths so my vlandia has lost like half its nobles so far XD
@HeadlessHorsemanProductions
@HeadlessHorsemanProductions Месяц назад
lol, oh no! I should(and tried) to warn folks - I would suggest something like a 25 death rate for the death for all mod. I don't think there's actually a way to show all the eliminated clans but I would guess with about 10 years of running the 'death for all mod' at times as high as '5' and as low as 25, I've lost maybe 1/3 of the enemy clans, including a few of ours. I hope you can still fix your situation - it's a good example of a mod that can be damaging if you go too crazy with the tweaks.

In my campaign I run around with maybe 5-6 mil, just because early on (as an imperial) I chose major imperial cities to govern. Resulting in those cities to thrive (because the loyalty stayed high with me being of empire culture) my character makes about 17000 denars daily from all of the fiefs 😅
@Y0uKnoWh0
@Y0uKnoWh0 Месяц назад
Smithing is broken and uneccessary. People don't know how to manage party expenses and they don't know how to manage their fiefs so they just lean on smithing because its easy. Can just max out passive income and not have to think about money and discard battle loot except with good modifiers because you don't need the money.
@wesselbooi
@wesselbooi Месяц назад
@@Y0uKnoWh0 Exactly, if you create a steady early passive income source that progresses over time, you don’t need smithing at all. You guys also discard items to lvl troops from tier 1 to 5/6 istantly right ? It’s my late game army building strat at the moment
