TOP 10 UNITS IN MOUNT AND BLADE WARBAND! 

2. Nervous Man 1. Belligerent drunk

I hate fighting the khergits. They aren't even hard they just run around for half an hour and take forever to kill

Most agressive troop in Mount and blade: Belligerent drunk

10:Farmers 9: Farmers 8: Farmers 7: Farmers 6: Farmers 5: Farmers 4: Farmers 3: Farmers 2: Farmers 1: Armed Farmers

Khergits are a formidable faction known for their inability to defend a castle and stretching battles on for 10 more minutes by running

i know what counter 80 swadian Knights charging downhill with their lances lowered... 120 swadian Knights charging downhill with their lances lowered...

where are the looters???! this list suck

The Rhodok Sergeant is my favourite, it is about as strong as the Nord Huscarl but it uses blunt weapons for extra prisoners and they also wear your banner on their shield and their armour

How many men does it take to counter 80 Swadian Knights? None. The terrain will do it for you.

Best Infantry - Khergits Best Archers - Nords Best Cavalry - Rhodoks

10:Swadian Knight 9:Swadian Knight 8:Swadian Knight 7:Swadian Knight 6:Swadian Knight 5:Swadian Knight 4:Swadian Knight 3:Swadian Knight 2:Swadian Knight 1:Swadian Knight

The sea riders should be on the list (I WILL DRRRINK FROM Y´AR SKULL)

"There is no counter to swadian knights" A tight formation shieldwall on a hill

who thinks the swadian knight is a little bit to op because they are not even hard to train while the Nord huscarl takes ages to train

With my army of 80 swadian knights I took out over a thousand troops and had about 10 casualties

Best infantry: Nord Huscarl Best archers: Vaegir Marksmen Best cavalry: Swadian Knights

Man, if only they had better AI for the Khergit horse archers... also, the horse ARCHERS can spawn with javelins and a sabre and shield. Horse ARCHERS.

Number 1: Kidnapped Girl Number 2: Lady Svipul Number 3: Looter Number 4: Farmer Number 5: Peasant Number 6: Saddle Horse Number 7: Lame Courser Number 8: Lame Steppe Horse Number 9: K H E R G I T S Number 10: Me Only realised after finishing this I realised I did it from most useful to least but hey ho

10: Rhodok Sergeant 9: Rhodok Sergeant 8: Rhodok Sergeant 7: Rhodok Sergeant 6: Rhodok Sergeant 5: Rhodok Sergeant 4: Rhodok Sergeant 3: Rhodok Sergeant 2: Rhodok Sergeant 1: Rhodok Sergeant *This is not Rhodok progoganda*

no wonder the rhodoks always go to war with the sarranids over and over in my game, they know their sharpshooters can mop the floor with their cavalry

How to win in singleplayer: Army of sole Swadian knights and Khergir Horse archers. Mounted melee+mounted archers= total victory

I love the non faction units myself, particularly the sword sisters and Slaver chiefs. Sword sisters use courses, sabres and plate armour. They are a wind of death on the field while slaver chiefs use war horses and great hammers which can crush through any shield (even huscarls) with enough momentum. For ranged units I like the sarranid skirmishers because of their high damage jarids and light but protective armour.

Guide to win any battle in Single Player Open Area Battle : Swadian Knights. Lots of them. Siege Battles(both sides) : Rhodok Sharpshooters to lighten the attackers and Nord Veteran-Huscarls to form a literal shield made of vikingrs

Khergit units (any) are best for a starter army. Vaegir has the best all-round marksmen with the best accuracy, but Rhodok crossbowmen are the most deadly because they break shields faster and take down heavy units better. Nords have the heaviest infantry so are your go-to choice for siege assaults. Likewise, Rhodok sergeants are your best bet for defending a castle. Whereas Swadia has by far the strongest knights. Sarranids are probably the most balanced faction and they are equally good in all fields.

My top 10 most powerful unit in Mount&Blade:Warband 10.Prisoner 9.Jeremus 8.Farmer 7.Woman peasant 6.Swadian recruit 5.Looter 4.Nervous Man 3.Belligerent Drunk 2.Lady.... And finally,number one: 1.Dead body

The Rhodok Sergeant will actually defeat an equivalent number of Nord Huscarls in combat due to their awesome armor, awesome shields, and armor-piercing military hammers. I think it's an often underestimated unit. They also train way faster than the Nord Huscarl. Even when I'm charging around slaughtering an AI army with Swadian knights, Rhodok Sergeants are the one unit that feels like it can stand up to me and inflict casualties. The Huscarl's main advantage, and it's a huge one, is that it can really mop up low tier troops.

I saw my Swadian Knight get killed by a looter

"These sandy men... Wait is that racist... Oh well" Bruh I was weeing myself😭😂😂

Really feel that for their price and capabilities at that price, the horse sisters are amazing. And it's easy ranking them up and get them from bandits and raiders who take female peasants prisoner regularly. They feel like the perfect auxiliary troops in the game, because they are so versatile, good in sieges, and good on field. Would have put them at least at number 10

Awesome list, pretty unique to see the tribesmen make it into your top ten, was expecting something just composed of each factions best units and nothing else, but you made this enjoyable to watch

I'd have enjoyed to see where Sword Sisters come on this list if they could be included. I find them very good but a pain in the ass to get. I'm currently tearing my hair out trying to get a nice big army of them. :D

oh you will pour down a ton of hate on my head but my favorite faction are The Sarranids

,,They take little damage" Sergeant dies*

I agree swadian knights are best unit in the game.

When i saw you placing the Huscarls on 2nd place i was like: No, i wonder what monster is he going to place first. When i saw the Knights i was totally OK with you LOL

My 10 favourite troops (excluding the obvious ones like in the video). These are not in any order. 1) Hired Blade: Same stats with swadian knight, it was cavalry in early versions of the game and it still counts as cavalry, that's why they don't slow down your army. 2) Nord Veteran Archer: Assign them to melee, tell them to stop fire and charge. Sit and watch how they slaughter knights, sergeants, huscarls and other powerful units. 3) Sarranid Master Archer: Slightly worse than vaegir marksman in terms of archery but not as squishy as it and also is much better in melee. 4) Khergit Veteran Horse Archer: You remember the scene when 10 of your knights chase 1 of these guys in the entire map and your other troops other gething slaughtered because they are outnumbered. Yea, this is my favourite divide and ocnquer troop. 5) Nord Warrior: This is the most abundant nordic troop. They are superior to other units in their tier. You don't need huscarls, sergeants and other expensive troops. When you have these as infantry, know that you are safe. 6) Sarranid Skirmisher: The only unit in the game that can 1 shot Swadian Knight. 7) Vaegir Footman: They are poor, but once they get the 2h axe, they can inflict a lot of unexpected damage. 8) Vaegir Veteran: Same with Vaegir Footman, but is also realiable as a Tier 3 unit. A mixed army of Nord Warriors and Vaegir Veteran (all dismounted) can be really dangerous. 9) Rhodok Veteran Speraman: The absolute cavalry butcher. Also they perform quite well in melee. They are the also anti-huscarl infantry. Huscarls have a hard time with their short weapons killing these guys. Btw, AI is very good at using spears on foot, they backpeddle and take the adventage of having a long weapon. 10) Sword Sister: The kamikaze warrior. They inflict a lot of damage with a mere sabre, they have the best body armor of any troop in the game. They sometimes spawn without helm so they are risky to use. But these girls can really kill huscarls or knights without trouble.

I agree with the Swadian Knights being #1 On one of my files, I have a group of 50+ Swadian Knights and I can just steam roll pretty much anything that attacks me or I attack, even castles.

Also even tho this is an old video My favorite is the Huscarl, no discussion I get maybe three casulties per a huge outnumbered battle with them, and the Nord Veteran Archers are my second favorite Nords because Valhalla Khergits are good troops too when they are on your side When they are not..... Well.... Lets just say they remake the "Its been 42 years" meme

This should tell you how much I enjoy having Swadian Knights: in late game seven of my companions have basically the same gear setup as a Swadian Knight, then add some range weapons such as jarids or light crossbow for certain situational usefulness.

If we're talking about all kinds of units, my top list would be as follows: 10: Nord Warrior. They're not veterans, but that's a decent mid game troop that can hurl javelins and axes before engaging in melee. They have good armour and a good weapon. 9: Nord veteran archers. They're not formidable, but they kinda just exist and you can get them easier than Vaegir and especially Sarranid archers, as they start with tier 2. 8. Sarranid master archers. Very deadly with their rapid fire bows, my personal favorite type of archers. Their downside is that they're hard to get, as they have to go through being skirmishers, which become obsolete when out of jarids. 7. Huntress and Camp Defender. I reassign them from infantry to archers cause they often get crossbows. They're women, so they automatically make life better and really help if your ranged units are engaged in melee. 6. Hired Blade and Mercenary Swordsman. They're pretty bad overall, I just like them for the drip. Can be used as your own faction troops which won't get penalty on morale when at war with anyone. 5. Mercenary Cavalry. Best mercenary unit, they can become the core of an upstart king's army if the Swadians lose too much morale. 4. Khergit Lancer. The only Khergit unit that still kicks some ass even without a horse. Easy to train and replenish, unstoppable with horse archers. 3. Rhodok Sharpshooters. They're as easy to get as Nord Archers, but actually good. Best siege unit in the game. 2. Rhodok Sergeants. Military hammer is the best weapon in the game, and they bring tons of prisoners, even more than Mamelukes, while being pretty cheap. Just stonks unit. 1. Swadian Knights and Sarranid Mamelukes. Both completely overpowered, with Swadian Knights being the force of pure destruction and Mamelukes being the second best for destruction, but way better for economy. Honorable mention: Vaegirs! If some factions have horrible troop branches or don't have some at all (Imagine strong Sarranid and Khergit infantry, Nordic and Rhodok cavalry, or actually good mercenary ranged units, lol), every Vaegir troop branch is good. They have shock infantry which ditches shields to leroy jenkins into battle with two handed weapons, best archers in the game and decent knights. All top tier Vaegirs are good.

I will stick with my Vaegir Knights. Once annihilated an army of 1000 with around 90 of them. Lost 60 though, but since then they will always have a special place in my heart.

Sarranid skirmisher have proven their worth for me every time. They are very cheap and easy to upgrade to, and when en masse defending castle or hill they simply pay of, and it is ok if you lose lot of them, they are back in just days. Justa let them hold the top of hill and soften incoming attack, then charge in counterattack while you strike with heavy cavs from the back... Cheers!

I liked your videos. You gained a sub.

I also pick the Swadian Knights as my top choice. However, on the beginning of my gameplay I joined the faction side which was at war with the Swadians, I looted heavily on every Swadian village and gained negative relationship score with the entire Swadia. Thus, I had a hard time recruiting Swadians.

I will offer some counters for the infamous Swadian Knight: 1) Rhodok Veteran Spearmen: Swadian Kinght or Khergit Skirmisher. They are the bane of all horsemen. 2) Nord Veteran Archer: Underrated archer. The strongest archer in melee. This is the only archer that can survive a Swadian charge. 3) Khergit Veteran Horse Archer: The perfect troop to distract knight and disrupt the charge. 4) Sarranid Mamluke: On par with knight, these are as tanky as them. It is pretty much like anti-knight. A mixed army of 80 of these will destroy the 80 swadian knights.

How Did you to so you could fly around in the battle, alive or dead?

what would you suggest for a castle garrison, i currently have nord warriors and rhodok sharpshooters.

How do you siege on hardest difficulty? My method is to cheese the archers, retreat, and cheese more archers until they're all dead, and then rush in with my huscarls, but i take so many casualties. Especially Rhodoks, as they are pretty much "nope" when it comes to castles and cities.

10. Rhodok veteran crossbowman. 9.Khergit Lancer 8.Khergit Master Horse Archer 7.Vaegir Guard 6.Nord Marksman 5.Saranid Mamluke 4.Swadian Knight 3.Rhodok Sergeant 2.Rhodok Sharpshooter 1.Nord Huscarl Fight me.

Mercenaries are worth it?

did you make a video like this for 1257AD? if not where can i find a troops like or tree for 1257ad?

Lol I love the emphasis that it's YOUR opinion in the beginning

infantry - Rhodok sergeants ranged - Rhodok sharpshooters cavalry - Swadian knights

lol I pop up there in the video :D probably pissed you off but it's awesome :D

Swadian Knight is just freaking broken xD, im surprised that Khergit Horse Archers are not there, they may not be strong, but they are hard to catch and incredible annoying, good video :D

And what Veager Knights? They have excelent stats and someone have big axe.

Best early game castles to siege?

nice video thank you for your typs

I usually played with Khergit troops since the Lancers and Horse Archers can be pretty deadly, the only downside of Khergit is that they don't have any ground units only horse.

And also is it weird to say that every time I fight the Swadian Knights they get owned by my Lancers?

Swadian knights are great but nothing beats the huscarls

rember me i was you 5k subcirber :D

That description caught me off guard...

1:30 of babbling.

Why not sword sisters? They are really cheap and around as good as the mercenary cavalry.

Mamlukes+Swadian knights+ some Khergit horsemen united with mostly Rhodok/mercenary infantry is my favorite combination.

Resonant sounds so different compared to today, i had to scroll down to see who i was watching lol

My top 5: 5. Nothing since all I use are knights :D 4. Nothing 3. Nothing 2. Nothing 1. Swadian Knight

Mamlukes fo evvaa!!!

do you play mods? if so, can you put up a top 10 most OP units limited to 1 unit per game? ';) nice video btw

I came into the mount and Blade scene long after the strengths of these units was realized. Truthfully, I can not wait to get my hands on Bannerlord and test out all the new troops and theorize about army comps and strategies. 2017 please come soon...

1.Saranid master archer 2.Rhodok sargent 3.Saranid manluk 4.Hired Blade 5.Housecarl

If I was good enough, I'd be a female and have a giant female army that devours every opponent. And we're all lesbian alcoholics.

I just got this in my recommended, and holy fuck Resonant at first I didn't believe it was you because of your voice

Have you tried mercenary cav tho 50 of those and open field battle ez

The one thing that makes swadian knights superior in melee than most other troops is thanks to the mornigstar. Thanks to the ability of crushing blocks they can oneshot most units on the frontlines using shields.

The best system I found, recruit a bunch of Swadian knights, put them on hold in battles, then kill as many enemies as possible yourself. Then when you run low on health, send in the knights to mop up. Good way to rank up faster.

This channel is amazing

The Huscarls are good, but a theoretical (I haven't tested this myself) are the Vaegir Guards. While vulnerable at long range, they have heavy armor and heavier axes that make short work of shields, one of the main advantages of any Nord army. In combination with Vaegir Marksmen, they can soften them up for a charge of knights. Though I've never had to deal with that many Huscarls before.

Almost agree. But I put sharpshooters in 3rd place for their versatility. Good video

My standart army and strategy: 1 - Swadian Man-at-arms or Knights (following player and weakening the enemy army) 2 - Nord recruits to Huscarls (holding ground and protecting archers) 3 - Vaegir archers holding ground (behind melee fighters) P.S.: at the end, when the enemy is close to the melee line, charge them with the melee fighters Average player army casualties = none

What happend to mercenary calvary or hired blades ( i Agrée tho with Swadian knigt

i feel like yes there is definitely a statistically best unit, but it really comes down to play style and build really, obviously for defending a castle your gonna want a shit ton of archers but in a field battle your gonna want cavalry to close the distance on archers and outmaneuver infantry where as infantry is mainly good for sieges, but i also wouldnt discount the power of a line of archers to clear out as many units as they can followed up by a cavalry charge

Rhodok sharpshooters are my favorite. I love setting them to volley on some high ground and watching the world burn.

How do u make ur camera like a dron vision at 1:35?

You should do more content on viking conquest, I enjoyed it way more than any native as well as pretty much every mod I have found.

I used to go for the Huscarl, but gave up and switched to Swadian. Sometimes I get bored and just travel around in enemy territory challenging anything that moves.

Well new to this game and my options is a mix of calvery , mercenary calvery, Slaver Chef's and Swadian knights.. 12 of us killed 30 mountain bandits in less than a min. Found my new farming spot to grind and get full Sargent's and some Calvery with bows . Set a line of Sargent's to block arrows incoming then use archer calv for return fire from behind and wait for them to get close on a hill top would be nice then push through with calvery full speed sounding everyone charge !!!

Personally my favorite unit in the game and what I believe to be the best is the Rhodok Sharpshooter. They MELT castle defense in sieges. They have massive range, accuracy and damage per shot. They have board shields to absorb hostile missile fire. They have great armor and weapons and are very good in close quarters. They just excel at being a jack of all trades. There basically tier 3-4 infantry with crazy good crossbows and accuracy. 👌

What is that mod you use at the beginning?

I'm sat here at the number 2 spot looking at the huscarls wondering whether No.1 is the Knights or the Horse-Archers

the vaegir troops have already proved to be extremely effective and cheap. i am currently using a vaegir only army and it can pwnage any faction eez. it has the best archers, great cavalry and good infantry.

I use all mounted forces. I use swadian knights, slaver chiefs (prisoners), and sword sisters (archers). It seems to work pretty well. Even a small group of just 20 knights will take on a group of 100 or so normal troops.

I know Viking Conquest didn't receive a lot of attention and people had bad opinions on it, but could you do a Top 10 on best units in that game? just an idea

Can't wait for #MountAndBlade2 #Bannerlord -- I love the #Huscarls. I usually get a blend of the too tier units. Since this game allows you to recruit units from various races... I us usually pick q unit class 1 tier for each race. Or simply the best the race has to offer... 1. Huscarls best at everything! Can siege and defend castles. They pretty much kill everything. 2. #SwadianKnights basically they can chase and finish off everything. Doubles for castle defence and sieges. 3. #RhodokVeteranSpearman great for AntiCav... but positioning is very important! 4. #VaegirMarksman are beast at archery. Fast rate of fire... I've seen them mow lines down before the enemy even engages!! I don't do the #Saranids or #KhergitKhanate but I'll consider using #SaranidsMamlukes for gold farming. I also like the #HiredBlade and #SwordSisters for hired mercenaries and/or freed peasants.

When the vid is so old annotations don't work no more. :(

Aren’t Swadian knights basically mounted sergeants?

Swadian knights and Nord Huscarls are "fire and forget" battering ram type troops. Making them the best units in the game. XD Though I'm just biased towards fielding an entire army of Sword Sisters. Just the thought of having a full army of fighting ladies under your command seems awesome. XD Not too mention Sword Sisters are much cheaper then Swadian knights or Huscarls, while still being able to go toe to toe with their male counterparts the mercenary cavalry and often win! ^^

building my army so i can have rhodok spears at the front with vaegir marksmen behind them and huscarls floating around nearby. then mamlukes to one side and swad knights to the other. enemy cav will go for archers and get cut down then my cav can go after their infantry

Great vid I agree!!
