How to Play Mount and Blade: Warband 

6k hours in mount and blade and still watching this......my parents are proud...i hope

Rule 1 never fight a naked man with a big ass sword

What the hell? I've played warband for nearly 500 hours now and had no clue relations with villages actually did anything. Cheers man, this was a great video even for someone "experienced".

Mount & Blade seems to be trending again. Somehow I have managed to catch the bus this time.

You're talking a lot of Rhodok propaganda in the range of my lance.

Played the game probably a few thousand hours now, never invested into businesses since the system seemed complex. Did become king of Swadia and field an army of around 800 knights though. Damn, I love this game

Actually both castles and towns controll villages and what faction owns them, but castles are usually more for strategic defense and technically harder to take. For the player it is a place to call own that does part of what a town does.

Don't listen to the communities when you're a new player. There's a lot this game doesn't tell or do and you'll need a lot of investment to get into it. Also, PATHFINDING is a must if you go warlord and don't want to be forced to fight anything that crawls on the map.

It's almost harvesting season!

i have 700 hours in the game but still decided to watch this

3:20 Jeremus standing with the Rhodok spearmen ready to get knocked unconscious

3:13 "that means you'll need a warband" *i see what you did there*

Nearly 500 hours between the three M&Bs so far, and I didnt know you could turn companions into lords. Very, very good to know

You seem to have quite a bit of potential! Keep making videos - you've earned yourself a subscriber.

you forgot to mention how YOUR sides AI is absolute garbage, and attempting to ever let a battle auto-calculate so you dont have to spend 20 minutes killing 10 bandits, will result in you losing half your troops. every. fucking. time.

I bought Warband because of all of the hype of Bannerlord. Since Warband seemed easier and funnier, I got into it. After 3 hours I still didn't knew what to do. Thank you very much for the video bro

Instructions isn’t clear, my peasant stuck in a toaster.

4:08 Party skills can stack with each other. By taking the character with the highest party skill and adding SOME of your characters skill to the total. Also trainer is not a party skill, it's a personal skill and makes a big difference in getting fresh recruits to level up quicker.

You had way too much fun making this. You bastard. PS - loved this, would love an advanced AI tutorial like this. Knowing how to split troops up, nuke them move around the map better, etc.

You use memes from snippets of my childhood. I appreciate you.

Using swadia cavalery cuz im nob but im with the rodocks. 11/10 recommend it

Me like: lol I see this video even doe I already know M&B Also me: 200IQ+

I've never took any castle or city without cheats like Ctrl+H and Ctrl+L. But recently i tried to capture Shariz without cheats from Khergits because I hated them the most (still do it, but not that much). I just took 15 infantry with some armor (mostly swadian militiaman, but there was like 5 of man at arms), 30 swadian skirmishers, 5 vegirian archers and 5 trained rodocks crossbowman and then said to infantry to move under the wall, while ordered to archers to go back and spread out. It was a massacre for enemy. My archers didn't let them posibility to shot. When archer ran out of ammo i ordered my infantry to assault. In this battle we lost 5 guys killed and 3 wounded on normal damage to AI and player. Enemy lost 189 man killed 7 wounded. And then Sarranid Sultanat came to me with 709 men. I lost everything

Just saying, you're the only guy I have notifs on for. Such high quality at the level of subs man.

Loved your little ending with Kenshi in the end :)

Hey, you forgot that you can bring up a control menu in battles by pressing backspace. It makes controlling battles much smoother

Thank you you really help me to be better at the games you do these guides

Excellent look at Warband and explanation of the mechanics with so many great tips and all in a fun manner too! Love the hell out of this game, and the mods, omg LOTR, Warhammer, GOT, Feudal Japan, Star Wars, the Old West, hell almost if you can think of it someone made a mod or attempted one lol. Most are damn well done though, now so close to Bannerlord, my excite level is hard to contain, and you just poured some nostalgic gasoline on it. xD

“Rhodoks are the best faction” lol

just subscribed actually helped me out voice wasnt anoyying is funny think if hes given the right opportunity he will sky rocket in subs in no time

Me: finish Warband, pendor, perisno, play some random mods RU-vid: would you like to know how to play Warband

It's funny going back to your roots now that you're essentially a History Channel

*Mountain Blade*

so im looking for bandits and cant find any,ive just ridden from one side of the map to the other looking for a fight and now im broke and my army is desserting,loving this game.

finally ! a nice funny and also usefull guide on this game! nice

I love this game so much, but it hurts me how outdated it is. I. Can't wait to play bannerlord.

As far as training the troops goes, I usually hire Lezalit and make him the head trainer

holy shit I have like 400 hours and I never knew about the guild masters smh my head.

i see a lot of people never actually played rhodoks; they are massively op. they naturally counter what would be the best faction in the game, they're tanky, and they have the best ranged units, because bows were underpowered as fuck.

I have 600+ Hours in m&b, and yet, i learned SO FUCKING MUCH from this video. Thank you :)

me finding out now about guild masters: time to play

An important note once you form your own kingdom is that you need a claim to declare war on another kingdom without angering your vassals and these are often a village is mistreated the best to get a claim is having a high relation with a village another kingdom controls

My guy

this channel is brilliant. thank you for making these vids :)

The best way to get starting money fast is to have hi looting and ransom as possible and then start to steal cows. Then if you have big enough army you can loot villages for butter.

you didnt talk about MODS?!

this is a really fun video

Me with over 1k hours in the game: interesting video... let's watch it!

Prophecy of pendor

*Me who took three different Castles with 80 troops* I'm just going to go

Sarranid Master Archers aren't "subpar", though. They barely fall behind the Vaegirs (the actual best faction you filthy Rhodok), and their archers are good in different ways. While the Vaegir Marksmen use War Bows, which are giant longbows about as tall as they are, the Master Archers use Strong Bows and Nomad Bows, which fire much more quickly while not losing much in terms of damage.

Better troops from villages with high relations? What sorta evil butter magic is this?

I was expecting to see a meme I mean it kinda is but; nice video

this was a great wideo thank zou soo much

glad to hear bill sutton

the beggining of the map part sounds more like a total war youtube tutorial

if you're nord you can win sieges by yourself. only a limited number of troops can be on the battlefield at a single time which is why they send troops in waves. huscarls will evaporate enemy troops and the veterens and warriors arnt half bad themselves. also some castles only have the one ladder and no siege tower (like grunwalder) so if you can grab those first when their garrisons will be much lower, it'll be easier in the long run when they eventually have to split their forces for the siege.

I personally go swadia infantry and cav but rhodok crossbow men it seems to be the best combo for my fighting style anyway

74 achievements out of 80.

Dude, your videos are awesome. I'd highly suggest you reach to a big youtuber like ISP, maybe he can promote you or reupload your videos and maybe split the earnings or something with him. This is awesome and funny content. You deserve more views and subs for this.

just get rhodok sharpshooters and put them near the edge of the map and when the enemies close in just retreat if you get enough first aid then you can do this a couple of times and get no casualties

I'm pretty sure the guy narrating the video is the guy playing Luke Dunphy in Modern Family. I'm 110% sure.

Im subing now just for you telling me about enterpise

i wouldnt call the sarranid guard average they have insane swing speeds with their axes considering if u manage to spawn them

Weapon proficience increase attack speed of mele weapons and acuracy of ranged weapons.

the multiplayer community on xbox is amazing so many trolls and ddosers lol

5:55 If you use your imagination some of them are pretty comely.

I cannot wait until Bannerlord! Only a few weeks until it comes out!!! XD

How do I heal myself and my horse who died in battle?

6:55 Rhodoks is my shit! The high ground makes everything much easier, you take it and let your core force of crossbowmen massacre the enemy as the trudge slowly up the slope, also massively decreases the advantages of cavalry.

I remember making around 35k a week on one of my old saves. For some reason Harlaus was in love with me and gave me over half his kingdom. All got a bit too much really

After playing bannerlord a lot i really miss warband.

I see u didn’t tell them about the swadian knights

To cheeZe sieges one way is to set battle size in the menu to the minimum just before you assault and that will allow you to get in far sooner and makes things a lot easier. For field battle I always had a million Swadian knights so having max battle size is more efficient there. Essentially you’re trying to inflict maximal damage via numbers in field battles and mass heavy cavalry are great at that. Heavy cav is also just hard to counter and swadian knights in my experience still do great in sieges. Another pro tip is that in order to minimize losses in battles is to do a retreat midway through. You have to imagine that if you have high quality troops with let’s say 100 hp and the enemy has a troops with 70 hp initially your troops will outlast the enemy but after the initial wave of combat let’s say your troops have 30 hp left. The reinforcing waves of fresh enemies now have 70 hp and you’ll take losses but if you do a mid battle retreat ,if you’ve done enough casualties you’ll be allowed to continue the battle again and your troops will have recovered hp.

Nice vid.

a game that can run on any pc, but requires alot of things to memorize and familiarize

Great vid, I learned alot, keep it up mate. Also, what did you do to get your honor so high? I am basically a mercenary at heart so war profiteering is my thing, my honor is therefore total shit. Additionally, I don't understand why shepherds slings and staff slings are not in the game, idk why they would exclude these weapons as they were a major part of the medieval battlefield.

Nice yusha thomas video in there

Looking forward to the Kenshi tutorial - it'll be a hard one to make. On a scale from one to Dwarf Fortress, Kenshi is about a Vic2, or an 8for getting into. Warband is a 5, CK2 is a 6, HoI4/EU4/Stellaris are a 7.

This was a very good video, but I disagree with what you said about buying businesses. Purchasing the dye-works is always the best option since it on average has the highest earnings per pay period. If you go to buy a dye-works and it is projected to make no money or lose money, just move to the next town and come back to the earlier town later. The amount of money you earn from businesses fluctuate.

I WILL DRINK FROM YOUR SKULL

yusha thomas is in this video no frickin way

baNnErlORd wHeN?

best battle ever ,simple , good and a lot of shouting ...players love it and there is a lot of mods

But which is better? Kenshi or Mount&Blade

Less talking, more raiding

How to play mount and blade Warband: Download Floris Mod

subbed

I wish i watched it years ago 😭

Best game ever

I still play it! In fact, just started a new native game a few days ago

Let's just say my Nords fear no faction.. but we definitely don't siege Rhodok castles and just sorta try to ignore them.

All you need is 40 marksman you can take any city just by shooting the enemies off the wall you will kill about 70 be4 running out of ammo then just back out do it again untell the city is taken

How do you raise/lower rents and tariffs

Rq what should i do when i start. Should i just attack bandits and get support from villages

Wait it is a paradox game?

Do actual battle tactics influence the battle? Flanking, retreat to archer trap etc etc

I just had my army of 50 (cavalry, bowmen and heavy infantry) destroyed sooo I sorta fugged it

To be fair, I barely played base game; I was just spending my time in the Third Age.

I mostly played Mount and blade with mods that gaves me more options,I usually play with the dickplomacy mod.THERE I SAID IT
