This is Part 1 of a 2 Part series. My intention was to do everything at once, but the video was going to be over 30 minutes long and it would have taken another week to release, so I decided to split it up. It's a TON of info, so don't be worried if you don't catch everything on the first viewing. I can honestly say out of all the Bannerlord guides and research i've done, this was the one I learned the most in making. Part 2 will be focused on step by step plans for many scenarios like avoiding rebellions, max profit fiefs, well defended border fief, etc. I'll even show you how to make 2k denars from a castle!

If you stack modifiers, could you use a fief as a troop factory/upgrader? I remember a long time ago you could put cavalry recruits into a castle and have the castle upgrade them into actual cavalry troops without you having to spend a horse for it.

Best Bannerlord guides out there, precise and scientific, that's how it should be. Waiting for the part 2. Also suggestion for video idea, you could review different scenes for castles, cities and explain best strategies to defend/attack. Weather it is worth it to build siege towers vs make a breach vs starve out settlement, etc. btw, Ortysia looks so beautiful

These videos are straight fire. The workings of this game seem a mystery to lots of people and there is misinformation going around all over the place, so this is a welcome hidden gem of a channel. May I make a request? A video on "goods" generation in towns would be really useful. For example, why do high tier pieces of armour spawn or not spawn. People say its to do with clan tier, prosperity having a smithy in town etc. Would be good to finally get that answer.

Only recently picked up this game and your guides have been amazing at helping me learn game mechanics/strats. One thing I would love to see you make a vid on is efficient leveling of companions for specific roles, i.e. how to pick a good companion for being a governor, party leader, caravan etc. and then if there are any good ways to level them for those roles, outside of just giving them the role and waiting (which is what I've been doing so far). Really can't say enough how amazing it is to find such high quality and in depth vids on a game that is quickly becoming one of my favorites, and your World Conquest speedrun is amazing, must have watched it 5 times already, and it inspired me to try and learn by replicating your playthrough which has been amazing fun.

@Strat-Guides 2 жыл бұрын

I'm glad to hear the videos are helpful! This game was be pretty frustrating because of the lack of explanations and info in game with how things work. I do have plans for a companion video as that's a really tough topic in game. It's even more so when death is enabled since there are really only a handful of "safe" leveling methods. I need to get through a few more topics and then I will probably try to tackle that one, although I need to think on it a bit more as I'm not sure how to format it. I might have to break it up into a small series, but we will see! Nice! That WC campaign is really fun, I've enjoyed it a lot. Usually WC can be tedious and more of a mental challenge than anything lol but this time it was different for some reason.

@Strat-Guides 2 жыл бұрын

@@doomstar2040 Interesting, did you even show up on any of the votes?? It's usually based upon who has the least amount of fiefs, so if you're not even on the list then there may be a bunch of other nobles that don't have any as well. The best thing you can do is make sure you're at the battle for the fief you really want. Sometimes they will vote for me to get some dumpy castle that I don't want, so I will give those away and continue to save up influence, make an army, take a city I want and then usually will get first in line to take it because I give everything else away by the time the vote comes. You can keep the fiefs up until the vote comes, so just make sure to ditch them before you start the siege assault. Hope that helps!

But just to be sure: is there a definitive way to secure the loyalty of the castles you capture for you own kingdom? You want to put a big garrison for the security->loyalty boost, but that starves it really quickly as they don't have have established high-hearth villages to support them, and not enough construction to build gardens. As always, keep up the great work, you're definitely one of the best M&B creators on the platform. Always happy to see you pop-up in my feed or notifications.

When I was going through my WC videos there were some things that popped up that I just wasn't sure the answers too, so I figured it might help others as well and then it just turned into this 20 monster lol Actually, I had voice over done for a 32 minute video but decided that was absurd so I split it up lol! There are a few things you can do, but the best way is through kingdom policies. That's not always an option if you're a vassal though. Aside from that, I would drain the garrison, let the villages recover from being raided, let food get back into the green. The loyalty hit from starvation is only -1 so it's really not that hard to overcome, but if you have to deal with wrong culture and don't have any kingdom policies to counter it, it's a tough one! I'm going to add a few more scenarios for Part 2 and I'll try to come up with a better solution for you on this one by then! I appreciate the support, it means a lot to me!

Complete the transaction. *3)* Say "look how poorly your lord treats you, you have no fiefs!" aka beat the persuasion minigame. Guaranteed to work on all but a couple of unique clans. *4)* As a payment, give them back the fief you've bought, and ask for most of the money you've paid for it on top of them joining you. They *KEEP* the fief even if you're at peace. *5)* ??????? *6)* Profit!

@@Strat-Guides In my playthrough, it varies, but when recruiting them, I could ask up to 80% of what I paid for the fief back. IIRC for a castle that goes around ~700k I got the clan and ~500k back last time I did it. For me, the money isn't the focus, it's the ability to hire almost any clan you want regardless if they have a fief (number 1 reason for them to be happy with their current king) that counts.

The other policies are great but getting the clans to agree with you is another issue lol. Can't wait for the part 2!

But you're right, if it's the wrong setup, the loyalty hit can really hurt. I'm hoping to have part 2 done by next week, but we will see.

Pretty sure that tons of players now watch your guides before stepping anywhere in game, since you're currently one of the best solution to palliate with TaleWorlds maths bullsh*t. Don't know if you realize how usefull you are for the community sir.

I assume that you know but I'll mention it just in case, there is a gang leader quest that is offered (I think) only when a town is at risk of rebellion - supply weapons or something like that. They ask for 100 or so hand axes usually. Completing the task results in the town's security being reduced to 0.

Didja know, the battanian construction speed effect is *interestingly coded* and results in there actually being a tiny but of construction available at sub 25 loyalty? Just enough to confuse people, but not enough to actually finish a upgrade! I think Grazing rights is okay.

@Strat-Guides 2 жыл бұрын

Hehe that's the good ole TaleWorlds math working! I think there was a point where I said it was impossible to build at low loyalty (then added like 0.1s message saying practically impossible but not literally) for exactly this point. I knew someone was going to bring this up, and I came prepared for once hahaha :D *Gasp* Not grazing rights!!! I should have clarified - once the villages are up to your preferred level it's not a bad thing to take. If you're trying to get to level 3 villages though, that 0.25 can really slow things down. I just like to have large villages to have a buffer against raiding, but I can see where you're coming from. Thank you for watching :)

@Strat-Guides 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! I certainly learned the most while research for this one so I fully agree with you. So I did a 25 day challenge where all I did was gang fights and from what I could tell, there was no difference whatsoever in towns that have them or not. I didn't see any modifiers for it at any rate. I feel like there should be though. They give the +1 security when gang leaders have quests, so I know they put some thought into gangs already lol!

@mikhailfilitov1479 2 жыл бұрын

Cool to see the way unsolved gang leader issues positively effect security! In a weird way wouldn't that mean it's actually bad to wipe out gang leaders then? Having the incomplete gang leader quests would buff security? I feel that's one of those mechanics that is slightly counterintuitive but maybe I'm understanding it wrong. It's also kind of unclear to me whether the AI will ever resolve any quests by themselves.

@Strat-Guides 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah I think you're right. Not only that, if you kill a gang leader, you lose all of the troops they offer for hire. They would respawn at some point (assuming prosperity is high enough) but still, it's probably best to leave them be. We shall call them a necessary evil :) I don't think the AI does quests and they just time out on their own. I'll try to pay close attention when I'm recording for episode 2 to see if that's the case or not. I appreciate your continued support, it means a lot to me :D

Hey dad, thanks for the video. Is village income also tied to prosperity/loyalty? I noticed when I took a castle, the first few days the income was a few hundred per day - then 10 days later it was down below 20 per day. Looking forward to more content!

@Strat-Guides 2 жыл бұрын

No problem my boy lol :P So the village income seems to only come from items being sold. If you watch it closely and keep track of the villagers traveling to sell goods, you will see a big spike the day after they come back and then the value drops down lower each day, then spikes again with the next trip. It seems like they drain a certain percentage of money back to you each day as opposed to a flat rate. You can also test this at an extreme - cheat in a bunch of late game armor and weapons, sell them to the town and watch how crazy the income goes lol I've seen it trickle back to me for 15 - 20 days at over 5K per day!
