What happens if you can only use Archers in Bannerlord? 

So you are playing just how I always play.

Patay tho...

There are a few conditions for it to work though.

There was the caveat of the field being extremely muddy.

Agincourt merely proved that tactics are important

While Agincourt was a thing, it's because French noblemen were so arrogant and undisciplined. But, once they got motivated (thanks to a certain peasant girl), you got something like Battle of Patay.

i was never sure between loose vs line bc in line fits more of a wave than random shots so i believe in more structured battles the pure spam is more effective but i always try to get into loose if there cavalry and i dont have enough front line, or scatter in woods

Additionally, stay on your horse and run around behind the enemy troops to get their attention on you. Don't engage, just keep their attention. Then your archers can mow them down easily.

Strat Gaming has tested this and claims that Line is slightly better than loose formation for archers.

Thanks

​@JohnDabs420 depends on if you actually spread your line out which this guy doesn't know how to do

I know right I got completely jump scared by seeing bannerlord 😂

Agreed

@@valtontony826 Its a Joke I Think

Its so that you can initiate at your own discretion, instead of the fight immediately starting whenever the map loads.

oh damn and i thought it was scripted for them not to shoot lmao... I lost so many hideout quests because of this. I feel pretty stupid now XD thanks for the tip

@@unhommequicourtyeah it’s because raiding a hideout is supposed to a stealthy night raid hence why all the troops are passive at the start

another tip, learn to play the game before doing challenges

Khuzait

@@timothyh thanks. i was gonna say khergit, but i am pretty sure the khergits are from Warband.

@@th3w1zard248 except their finals and often semifinals is using a glaive. The 1v1 is tournaments is never bows

I Love Khuzait ❤️

Also I guess the tournaments are non-lethal games. So not technically kills without archery

Wait wtf are noble troops and which other units are noble Is the imperial vigman recruits noble ?

​@@Whiskers4169 Noble troops are special troop lines, one for each culture, that you can't just recruit from towns. Vlandian squires, Battanian Highborn youth, Sturgian Otroki, Khuzait Noble's Son, Aserai Youth and, yes, Imperial Vigman recruits are all the first tier for noble troops in each culture; and they progress to Bannerknights, Fian Champions, Druzhinnik Champions, Khan's Guard, Vanguard Faris, and Elite Cataphract, respectively. They are consistently the best troops you can get for their respective tier, though Khan's Guard did get beat by the Khuzait Heavy Horse Archer and Mamluke Heavy Cavalry a while back, embarrassingly. When you join a faction for good, your King/Khan/Sultan/Emperor/whatever will give you a few of the high tier noble troops of their culture for free.

@@johnfraire6931 bro tysm i have like 400 hours and didnt know what noble troops were

Huh, I never realized that’s how you got them. I always assumed it was tied to prosperity or they just appeared in random villages.

Skill issue

I suck at combat and still do tourneys And I win most of the time Theres some tactics if u want In multi team battle u just need to last longer than others like top 2 teams usually So as long as u run and let the other teams die first ur good there Anything 2v2 where theres a ranged and a sword and board the enemy usually charges and leaves range behind just gang up on the charger with ur other dude either move up with ur mate or wait until the courage gets to u two at the back Also bonus is jumping on horse back once riders are down to run Now the gang up tactics is usually good even in 4v4s etc Stay with a guy and try and get extra and grab horse if u start losing and try drive boys might take a while but usually doable Also any good companions u got sometimes go into tournaments and will get the prize for u so u loose bets but win the prize if one of them win Anything sword and board 1v1 I focus shield basing to get damage And anything with throwing here the enemy focuses using them for some reason so dodge fairly easy throw a couple as they close distance and then sword and board tactics from before u can usually kill with body shots as they approach after u dodge their ammo Now I'm worse once we start getting to culture that use more 2 handers etc But I find u can run away and start a swing then spin ur aim back and hit them as u flee this I use as I'm out numbered other wise gang up tactic as usual Now horse heavy can be worse but try and couch lance people usually here if u deal with archers u can win there If u get dismantled and theres sno other horses a few areana have rocks tree etc to hide behind and use to break a horse charge But now im forgetting what I've said so far but to summarise Gang up at all times and fuck range unless ur decent with it And run and try and last in multi team fights Jump on free horses Good luck with these strats even tho I really suck I win more than loose and they are broken as fuck for money and rep and even influence especially if u take certain perks like rogue deep pockets for more betting or the first charm perk that give 3 extra renown and I think theres a one handed perk that can also double renown gain but dint quote me on that But yeah frankly I find tourneys almost broken for me I can get clan timers very easy especially early Any good luck and hope this helps a bit

I think it was originally the index and middle both, not sure when it changed to just the middle finger.

Caladog?

i Conquered the whole map using only fian champions and abusing the retreat and re attack button

@@ashcanlas1089 haha that’s awesome. It’s so easy.. their close range melee makes them S tier.
