Full Campaign Video - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sKd_hL2Antjco4k.html&ab_channel=StratGaming

This is the real chad way to do things.

I've been playing Bannerlord since the very beginning but earlier this year, I thought I'd have to stop due to degrading health (hands don't work well anymore, wasd movement is a no go now). BUT my friend started a campaign and it really made me want to play again so I'm doing a tactics playthrough. My build is actually really similar to the one in this video and I'm working on my first successful WC. I own almost all of the Aserai lands so far. I love this game, there are sooo many ways to play it.... even when all hope is lost, it still pulls through.

Just finished a WC myself on v1.1.5 (vanilla) and I had couple points to add: 1. If you're just going for WC and not caring about solo clan, I feel like joining a kingdom and becoming the leader once the existing one dies is much less headache than doing it solo. you can work on eliminating the ruler while you're conquering everything. 2. I skipped the lords prison management route and just went in chopping heads in late game. By having a lot of the fiefs yourself, you can access the prisons and chop every noble in there that your clans put in (avoiding the need to catch everyone yourself). 3. Going full charm on your main while being a vassal will help you get voted for getting the fiefs and make you one of the bigger clans easily.

IMO the easiest way to do it is to execute everyone you capture. If you don't need allies/vassals the relationship penalties basically don't matter. Therefore you can put less in scouting and more in medicine for instance, and get a pretty insane bonus to your troops HP. And you'll find that pretty quickly the enemy sends less and less armies as they're running low on nobles. Plus, it fits the theme. If you're going to go for world domination why not play as a villain?

I was following this guide, except me being from the Empire and being Lucon's vassal. Just when I was about to declare myself independent the emperor died and his vassals decided that I was their new Emperor. So... North Empire conquered.

Why isn’t this game more popular. There is no other game like it. I am mad this game dosnt have a bigger community. I tired to get people like my brother and friends to play but they all say it’s too hard. Noooo! Hoi4 is too hard. Bannerlord is beautiful and I love her and love tale worlds for making games in this cooperate controlled world. Ps. I’m very very drunk.

Thanks for the guide!! I was just about to try this for myself because torture is fun!! This is going to help me a ton. Thanks again!

Great content as usual. So glad i found this channel, can't wait to try this out! Also, as another commenter has stated heads should roll!

I really really appreciate u for these vids it helps a lot!

8:43 You delivered this so passionately and confidently, it felt like genuine life advice for not throwing money away on things that aren't going to help you. "If they want your fief and you can't get there in time to defend it, they're gonna take it."

Thinking about getting back into Bannerlord since VMP came back and been looking through your guides. Keep doing what you're doing bro!

I play on console, so I’m not sure if this applies to those who are playing on pc but, there is a skill once you reach 250 in leadership called talent magnet that grants you +10 In party size, and an extra clan party, with that you might be able to field almost 3000 men.

Definitely taking out all of your companions soldiers before a fight pushed me bounds ahead!!! Great tip

Glad to see you're still going strong.

i was waiting this video. helped a lot. thanks a lot

Congrats on 100k strat, keep it up 💯

Nice vid Strat! Maybe one day I'll go for WC myself, but whether it's in Bannerlord or something like Paradox games I usually give up halfway because its either a massive headache or too boring to continue :( glad you also went for a bit in-depth explaination with perks. Isnt smithing something worth going for if you dont know where to spend points? Free vig/control sounds nice on paper! Cheers, looking forward to more vids like these!

Congrats on 100k!!

Nice companion to the other vid. I think yer multi channel approach is smart. It's a good way to drive active engagement while also refining the sub brands.

I like doing Smithing on my end to boost End & Vigor (or attributes in 1H & 2H) since I'm mostly playing Cavalry, it helps boost my dmg output a bit. It's a bit of a pain in the ass to level Smithing but in the end, it's a rather decent way to print money given the amount of weapons you get access to for defeating big parties & armies.

Damn. As if you could read my thoughts. Right after watching the video of the wc you upload this 😂😂.

My favourite way of winning the game. This is the way!

Nice! Good tips.

Cool guide

Good advice all around but honestly the +50% less speed penalty from forest is a bigger factor than the +1 militia. Like you said if they want your fief and you're not near then they're going to get it.

Almost 100k subs 🔥🔥🔥

You’re so close to 100K subscribers!

I was thinking of copying your build but didn't know the stats, thanks

IM GONNA TRY THIS im over 350 hrs into bannerlord and did conquer calradia once but it was with the khuzait kingdom and on easy and ive just messed around unsatisfactorily since then but this seems like such a great plan im gonna give it a shot!! edit: ALSO on the long village battles where they have like 150 guys, what can you do if you run out of arrows? Is it possible to lead the army away, then rush back and scavenge for the militia archers' arrows if you run out or do you usually have enough?

A few points: This is a speed run, so certain things are NOT optimized. Fiefs are super powerful and provide a LOT of cash if you develop them. Garrisons are not that bad - most towns tend to pay for their own garrison as you build them up. Because this is a speedrun without any fief development, the lack of buildings prevents the fief from making a lot of money in the first place. The size of each town generally determines the income and garrison size, so you can afford to leave garrisons on unlimited. That said, your biggest problem will be starvation - fiefs starve EASILY. One village being raided can mean negative prosperity for months in game, especially if your fief was already max-size to begin with. I recommend the "stop starving yourselves" mod (iirc that's what it's called) which adds a negative prosperity modifier (customizable with mod options) until the fief has +X amount of food (default is +10 food). This way your fief's income, garrison, and militia will cap out at a certain point while you're still breaking even. I haven't experimented with customizing garrisons, I think it's too much work to level up your troops AND garrison troops while still being safe, but standard garrison recruiting *tends* to be just fine. Defending against raids when enemy kingdoms get down to 1-2 fiefs will be your problem since you'll be up against 30=50 parties of 20-80 troops, all of which are vastly faster than your average 500 stack army. Those raids will drain your cities, your income, your garrisons, everything. That's my biggest problem at least. Starting Battania is highly recommended as it has 2 of the 4 fiefs in total with 4 villages, and village hearths directly correlate to incoming food for the fief, which means more villages = more hearths = more food = more income. Marunath and Seonon both have 4 villages attached to them (as do Jaculan and Sanala, I believe). Each fief tends to be positive until it's fully developed and has a full garrison, at which point it'll balance out income - VILLAGES also give income, so by letting those hearths build up to 600+ some villages have given me +1000 denarii a day, which covers any lack of income from the fief itself, plus some leftover. If you use Bannerlord XP Tweaks mod and don't cap your levels, and you get enough steward levels (either on yourself or a companion) you can make wages negative and get paid for fielding a massive army of 500 t5/t6 units. TL;DR - Fiefs are manageable, even easier with a mod (that should be in the base game anyways) if you're not speedrunning, and if you get another mod it's super easy to make 20-30k denarii easily without taking over the entire map, just take your time developing them.

Hey strat first of all i need to say u are the goat of Bannerlord! Now i have some question iam new at this game and i do my WC but its very hard to save money also very hard to hold the castels at the same time any suggestions how to make it correct? My english is very broken i hope u understand what i mean 🥴 iam sorry for that! I am very grateful for any advice! 💪🏼

Awesome as always !!! Ever thought of playing Europe_LemmyProject mod ? Or the Crusader Kingdoms ? Or the Old Realms ? Or similar ? (all of them are mind-blowing ! imho ) Or as Strategy/Tactics that you definitively master: a TW game such as Napoleon , Empire , Rome2, Warhammer ? Stay awesome ! And God bless You and Your family !

I like to have my only Garrison in my Capital. All Elite and lvl walls , siegecamp etc mostly Pravend or Marunath - very easy to defend (imo)

Gives me an idea for a future playthrough "World conquest" Build a world through different maps and cultures then conquer each map like traversing countries one at a time then carrying that character over by screen shotting their stats, age and looks for the next map or an heir birthed in the previous campaign if the main is to old "Striking out to forge their own kingdom" then adding interesting things to make it different and more difficult each map. The 1st son would be the heir, 2nd son would usually be his right hand so you normally be play the 3rd + son who stats would be lower as he'd be younger. Replays would be based on how many children you have in the previous campaign (send a new force) and what you have in the new campaign. Something like my little warband to keep "My" soldier's unique from the rest of the toops so they really do look like a foreign expeditionary force, challenges like language barriers could be fun. Thanks for the inspiration Strat.

Wow nice guide. What's your opinion on keeping the villages from getting raided and cause starvation to towns?

You gonna be playing Baldur's Gate 3, Strat? I've really enjoyed your Bannerlord content and I think others would enjoy you playing BG3 as well!

Destroying the nobility with the kingdom of Peasants. Truly *sips shitty beer out of a teacup* divine

I'm sort of using this build as a template. I'm starting at 20, so I won't need high medicine (still spending 1 points for 25 perk). Would it be best just not to use the points in Intelligence, and put them in a combat stat (control/vigor)? If so, then are there any 'must-have' perks to aim for in those? Or would even more endurance be better? Or would it be best to keep the Intelligence for the Steward?

Good strategy, i like the focus point attribution. I'm guessing you used your brother as steward?

Every time I find a way to escape the Bannerlord grind, a video or character idea comes along to pull me back in. Also, why does a 2 squad full archer army give serotonin hits like no other? Place them apart so one is always guaranteed the flank and watch armies melt.

hey strat have you seen the newest beta changes for the game? they fixed the ai randomly blocking apparently, circle formation was apparently fixed? and a few other changes to the ai happened. would be awesome if you could test these changes

Nice vid 👍 still wonder how u get gold enough since no smith no caravans no trade perks?

This is the only way I play this game. Not starting a kingdom is the best way to control the wars your in.

Oh man, everything I did was wrong 😮!!! Time to rethink.

Doing a Gengis Khan Takeover shit is so much fun just laying waste to armies with my mounted troops

thanks.

Why was Steward prioritized more? I understand you cannot prioritize every skill but you mentioned that some points “had to go somewhere”

Iv been playing on n off for a while, your vids been great Ty,... I got a Golden companion (from what I can see it's the best I can get), what is the best way to use him... let him be his own party leader/ keep him in mine /(make a governor when I get a town). Thanks in advance

Forcing ones will upon villages normally would cause them to hate you for generations, and damage honor. Is the game working? I used to enjoy it until smithing developed more glitches. little cute things voices are added but fundamentals corrupted. Requests for investigation is fruitless, put into a need for information category even though I send what tale worlds asks for . Your work is always solid, thank you.

Any tips for soloing villages early game? The militia archers and rock peasants end up killing me eventually. I managed to kill about 40 out of 70 before a rock took me out. I presume its a lot of running around buildings to avoid arrows and just shooting the few that peak corner. I also fear I'm going to run out of arrows so I try to line up my shots near perfect, which leaves me exposed. Any tips?

If Charm and tactics are so unimportant in the grand scheme of things, why didn't you instead put the points into Steward for the additional party size + party bonuses and/or Smithing for the Endurance and Control?

You seem to know a lot about this game. Here's an idea for a video: How to gain and lose traits There isn't a video about that and its hidden ingame. I've figured out a few by accident but there's no good information anywhere

On what version did you play because when I try RTS camera it keeps crashing

Im currently do solo clan conquest, but not forming kingdom. I do merc and vassal for a time before breaking out of vlandia. I set up my work shop in vlandia region because vlandia is stable and then I set out to conquer the world. Im not dare to attack vlandia but I can attack every other faction and kingdom. I invest in my charm a lot. So I start a war with 1 kingdom take 1 of their fief at atime and then sue for peace. Sometime charm + good relationship with lord save me ton of money. At 1 time I took phycaon and then make peace, the lord just ask for 1000 denar for peace. So phycaon = 1000 dennar. Funny run I ever play.

Which units did you mainly fight with? Fians?

Cool

The Dominic Toretto conquest, where family is everything and the word family gets repeated over 200 times in every hour.

Nice, just finished WC full video But do you really need THREE channels? I accidentally found your third channel :D

I gotta use the pig trick in my next playthrough

How did you lvl engineering and roguery fast/best?

how did you keep your original banner color after leaving the kingdom?

The flashing red thing at the ends says: media offline

Unrelated question: can promoted companion lords defect from your kingdom just like recruited clans can?

Do you think its easier to play the "campaign" or a sandbox? Personally i enjoy playing the "campaign" but after around 700+ days most times less i wind up restarting and trying a new build because my character just didnt seem to feel strong. And i never can manage to hold a feif for the life of me. Even with high teir troops they all tend to get massacred on the battlefield

Ah a Vlandia playthrough

Do I need to keep prisoners in my party? Or can I put them in a castle where I have a different governor?

Damn I have been playing the whole game in a wrong way I guess simulating fief defences are so much op

Why no stewardship? Haven’t played the game in a while but wasn’t that one of the best trees to get to 250?

This game is so hard to me. Ive been watching and reading so many guides and still struggling.

Now do a world conquest the fastest way, no holds barred (khans guard, recruiting clans, certain type of cheese etc)

Strat tell me please i have 270 captured nobles, character brother have 160 captured nobles and have no free space for others, i know i can make 100% no escape for other family members, but here in your video u don't have family< only companions, what should i do?

Once immortal dethert dies heads will roll under my leadership

Is there any reason not to just chop some heads instead of keeping lords captive?

Don't know if what i'm about to say is an old thing or not but i just lost in the final round of a tournament to my brother but i still got the prize horse of the tournament, i asume its because we share the same inventory or what?

Sir, how to show indicator without press alt? Because I cant charge with press alt.

so you have to execute all destroyed kingdom lords or else they will bother you with raids

8:56 You had a companion who's title was "The Fatherless"?

Hi, best perk for steward?

How do I become a mercenary. I am already fighting enemies who have double my party size?

Taleworlds really need to nerf the 100% reduction to prisoner escape chance, it is ridiculously OP. Even putting it at 90% reduction would probably make a big difference. The governors perk doing the same still doesnt seem to work, no?

Know me i well probably be at war with everyone when i get my first castle 😂

How did he change the age of the starting character? I've never seen that option.

I dont know why I think im unlucky. When I was getting wife for my character. Many times after started courting them they became a fugitive and could not find them for some time.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥☀️🥩☀️

My only complaint is that it's essentially the same build you've been using everywhere, but that's on Taleworlds not balancing things right.

woppaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

If there wasnt so many random super big updates id be there already 😂😂😂 just keep restarting to get thr updates module

Why not invest a few points in steward?

play baldur's gate 3

Why wont my skills allow me to go as high as yours?

im the 1000th like

How to consentrate on one enemy at a time. Im in war with like 3 factions none stop. Make peace with one of them, and a few days later they want war again 🙈

Part2 pls

As my first playthrough I wanted to do this, but I fear that this is wayyyy too difficult to do right off the bat. I don't know much about the game so something of this caliber is difficult.

I would kick the clans of battania and take their towns by winning the voting wich requires influence ,and i will do that by maxing the charm like u did in the joker video

12:29 :D

This is like the North Korea plan from Ck2 and 3.

Ive been playing Bannerlord difficulty since beta and i swear, one mistake and you lose so much time and resources

nice mic
