Swadia Complete Faction Overview! 

When you have the best cavalry in the game but the Butter King Harlaus throws a feast while Dhirim and Suno are being sieged :(

Imagine having fewer cavalry than infantry. This message was brought to you by the Khergit Gang

Swadian Knights, for when you don’t care about castles and towns but love running down Kings and beating them 100 vs 350

No mention of the Swadian Elite troops? The Swadian butterlords. With there amazing special skill of feasting in Praven.

Imagine actually successfully defending a siege. This post was made by Vaegir gang.

Strategy:Just charge with Swadian men at arms/knights

could you cover the "no faction" troops? from like farmers to mercenary's and such?

Imagine having more cavalry than infantry This post was made by nord gang

I know your primary focus is the troops, but map position is kind of important too. The Swadians have opposing factions in all directions, and have hostile borders with every faction except Sarranids. So unlike all the other factions, Swadia will pretty much always have a multi-front war going on in my experience.

Imagine never being able to complete a campaign because of feasts -this message was brought to you by Rhodok gang

Imagine not having a feast. This post was made by the swadia gang

The Rhodoks has been the most upvoted faction in all of your overviews, do them already!

To play Swadia you get as many knights as you can. Then line them up and recite Theoden's speech from Return of the King before charging.

Imagine having bows and arrows instead of crossbows. This message was brought to you by the Rhodok gang.

Being a vassal of swadia is like playing on hard mode. You practically have to fight everyone at once.Every war is a death or glory terrifying fuck feast and thats why I love them.

You know what the legend says: "If you see a naked swadian running to you with a big ass sword, all you can do is run." At least for multiplayer.

How can they have such good troops and always die

if you have a party full of just swadian knights it is impossible to lose a land battle

I always end up with a cavalry-only army and 1 day i decided to make it 75 sword sisters and fought against a swadian lord. His infatry and archers were taken care of almost immediatly, however his 13 knights managed to kill or wound 32 of my sword sisters. They would form a pile around a single knight and not manage to kill him before he took 3 or 4 of them down single-handedly. so yeah, swadians...........

Rhodoks/Nords: "Lol Swadians are terrible. Butterlord amirite?" (King Harlaus and I lead an entire army to take their territory) Rhodoks/Nords: "Oh..."

Do my boys the Vaegirs! Or throw a mix in there and do Mercs/Slavers/Sword Sisters or Bandits!

0:16 "Swaydia, or Swahdia, or Swaywaydia" OR BUTTERRRRRRR!!!!!!

Can you also talk about the cities? Their position, cheap trade goods and siege layout?

Imagine having more shields than bows This message was brought to you by Vaegir Gang

Swadian Knights FTW! Can’t wait for the Rhodok faction overview!

Imagine having more infantry than crossbowman This message is brought to you by the Rhodok Bois

I wish I was good This message is brought to you from sarranid gang

When you are Demolishing the Khergs and only Tulga last... 5 Lords, an entire army of highly trained Swadians boys... "King Harlus invites you to his feast at Praven..." A 10 DAYS FEAST AND THE KHERGS REECAPTURE ALL THEIR CASTLES AND CITIES!!!!

Too bad they always die first

"Look out Swads! Here come the Mamluks!"

I love this, great work : )

I think it would be nice to see the slavers and mercenaries, cause they seem very effective.

King Harlaus declared war on the Nords while I was going over to talk to a Nordic lord, making me lose 70 troops and get captured.

I'd love to see Vaegirs - Mercenaries / Bandits and Misc units would be cool too!

For my personal Swadian setup, I work on getting to 35 Knights along with however many companions I want (normally 5) the rest of my troop space I use to train troops for my fiefs (by this time I normally have at least a castle)

C'mon try vaegirs .

You should do this series for the most popular mods after you finish with the main factions, that’d be pretty cool and useful

Me and the lords fighting 3 literal factions Harlaus : B U T T E R

>be swadian >best unit in the game >gets gangraped by sand people and rhococks >disappears in less than a year

Once again as in the sarnid overview after you do faction troops I would recommend comparing the mercenary troops to faction troops P.S. awesome video

Vaegir Gang where you at

King Harlaus has left the Realm - my favorite message to get

As an experienced mount and blade player I find that drawing on a mix of troops and the Swadians will often supplement my Vaegir troops with their heavily armored cavalry and sergeants and some crossbowmen who do more damage per hit while archers fire faster and farther I use archers as my main ranged unit especially since Vaegirs favor two handed axes which make them more effective against cavalry while in melee and somewhat more effective against Nord shield walls but typically it works better when they are supported by a flanking maneuver

Those videos are like dev blogs for M&B Warband XD

They’re surrounded on all sides with only Uxkhal left. Harlaus throws a feast … Something beautiful about the butter

A guide for a faction from a game that's 11 years old, 15 years since their creation

Hey Resonant, can you command your archers to “Stand closer” next time? It really helps when it comes to concentrated fire.

Now, there is also that upgraded swadian knight--> C7 Swadian Baron Mineures in Floris.

Hey, I would like to ask if taking out general in battle (for example caravan master) lowers the enemy morale. Same for lords

Swadia: strong boys Me: beats their faction with militia and swordsman.

The khergits in my game captured one of their castle(swadia) and they ended the war immediately

I'd like to see an overview of the Empire faction or well two factions since iirc its going to be split in M&B2

May I say, in sieges my swadian sergeants die soooo much quicker than rhodok sergeants.

I really like Swadians, their troops are great, but then they make a feast after getting one castle. So I started my own kingdom and totally smashed them.

The swadians always get absolutely domed in every game I play. Personally a Rodoks fan

Random question but what happens if you take a castle or city without being a vassal or even a mercenary? Will you establish a kingdom even without the lord status or any right to rule?

Do the mercenary’s lol

I just see literally just a few strongholds left of their kingdom. Wanted to do a little more research after slaughtering them. Now I'm trying to preserve/unite with them so that we can attack neighboring kingdoms

I am doing a play through with them. I developed a really good siege tactic with them - Hard and continual crossbow lines, having 30 or so Sharpshooters lining up In a spread out set up and just shooting all their bolts until they get low In numbers. And when fighting other enemies, I aim to be on a hill so their firing range is good so they act like snipers. The Saranids are weak to that, and I kill 50-60 defenders each raid, as their Infantry is weak to being hit. And when their ranged units get killed off their other units lack of defense Is showing as they get shot down very quickly. Second, I ascertained a awesome castle, one on such a hill that I stole from the Rodocks, and the Saranids sent 2-3 500 size armies against me and my minor garrison (As I am limited In funds) - They got decimated being shot by Sharpshooters from all angles upon attacking. Resulting In 9 deaths and 19 wounded my side and 380 dead on their side as they had no cover when attacking. ~ Overall I find them fun, But I managed to succeed due to using actual tactics, as most the lords are doing not much at all or doing a massive mob attack - When now having a feast lol, making me one of the few actually keeping the border free of attacks and doing counter-attacks with my massive skirmish force (Not respected for that of course) The pushes against the Saranids was only possible because of me, yet they give me little support In keeping Saranid numbers low so they don't have death stacks.

I just need to get there for a feast

I know you searched up the Swadian Seargent because I went on that website yesterday to look and you said the exact words off the source. Lollll

Seems things are heating up... your past few videos have been legit.

The high tier units gone to a madness due to butter.

If I may, the Swadian crossbowmen are actually quite skilled, and I find myself relying on their power even more than the power of my Knights.

Step1: f1 Step2: f3 Result: Massacre

POV praven is the last swadian owned town and is currently under siege, then you get a feast notification

Swadian Sergeants I feel are like a hidden gem, my personal not popular opinion

*King Harlaus wants you to know his location* (and that he's hosting a feast)

Question, Is an army mad up of: Swadian knight Nord huscarls And vaiger archers Is it good?

havw you made a companions guide? if not, can you make it?

Can you do a video on mercenary/generic troops?

Feasting in praven 700 nord huscarls: smile with malicious intent

Imagine Not having any Butter Feasts in you capital that moves every day. This message was bought to by the Royal Praven Knights.

The sick thing is that swadian knights are actually pretty good at Sieges. Ofc not as good as Huscarls but still

“Please raid us”- King Harlus

"Swadian knights! F1 + F3" -Sun Tzu

I still remember my first time playing warband the nords get destroyed by everyone i get rich by ransoming lords and Sargoths dye but the one thing that i regret it is fighting Khergits

Butter.

Da KINGS !! Yeahhhh

Meh If you want to call it COMPLETE faction overview you could also mention their location in map, politics, factions which counter them, factions which are countered by Swadia etc.

The swadians are pretty good but i found raiseing a bastard army consisting of Mercenary swordsmen and Calvary-men is pretty damn effective against almost anything, with 45 Mercenary Swordsmen I took down a kergit army of 300 with only 5 dead and 3 wounded.

Swadia is basically Poland, strong cavalry. But surrounded on all sides and always gets partitioned by their enemies.

Well the Swadian Knights can be killed by the Rhodok Pikemen and also the Sarranids if they started using their fucking bamboo spear and not having it on their backs all the time

Them butterlord !

Butter

Its almost harvesting season🔪🌿

KHERGIT KHANATE ! THE HORDE NEEDS BLOOD! WITH GODS WILL , THEY SHALL TEAR YOU APART!

You forgot the Swag(d)ian, and The Bois of Swadia.

I admit they are powerful the knight especially but if you have enough khergit you can wipe them out

In my nord campaign we wipped out the swadia nation second. We destroyed veigors first.

Long live the butter lord!!!

before you do Rohodic, you can call in a feast

You say Swaydia, I say Swahdia.

Ah yes the butter knights of old

Glory to Swadia!

Behold the big bad butter bois

Swadians OP

Swadia main!!!

Everyone: Butterlord Me: Who is better, the Swadian Knights or the Sarranid Mamlukes?

*BUTTER INTENSIFIES*
