eya friends, we're continuing with this series due to the constant requests and we take our war-hardened band of high level companions and family members(40+ strong!), and challenge foes in a narrow valley, somewhat similar perhaps to what the Spartans faced 2500 years ago against the Persians... How far can we push these 'Spartans' in Bannerlord? Soon we'll see!
What prompted this series?
I get asked a lot in my campaign just how strong a small army can be in Bannerlord. So in this episode we take a fantasy trip into another world and time, taking a small breather from my death-match campaign to explore the potential of how strong a hand-picked army of 300 men in Bannerlord can be. This series will show ever-increasingly difficult challenges as I wander the map with my own "Spartans", deploying elite troops into advanced tactics in search of Glory. With some 45 companions and family members, many who are over level 40, we shake our shields and howl our war cries as the enemy closes in.... Enjoy!
Our entire channel is dedicated to helping players improve their field command and if that's your desire, or just want to see huge, dramatic battles, you've come to the right place.
Please comment, like and subscribe if you're interested in more of my ultra-late-game campaign, that may end up ending in utter despair, but that's the challenge of it. Any challenge where success is assured is no challenge at all.
My campaign is an extremely late-game campaign where I am resolved to give no peace to these scum Kingdoms attacking me - seven of the eight have been at war for years, with only Sturgia at a neutral stance. My family of warriors is now large though and with what remaining strength and valor we can must, we stand against the map of Calradia.
Join me on this adventure if you like huge battles, the use of advanced tactical maneuvers and intense Bannerlord gameplay, and subscribe to my channel if you want to follow along. This campaign is very lightly modded:
I use four mods:
Lord Retinue Uptier(Makes the enemy forces stronger, much less peasants and lower ranked troops)
www.nexusmods.com/mountandbla...
Improved AI Troops(Also makes enemy lords and their armies tougher by giving them a higher daily xp rate. This means you'll routinely face armies with HUGE numbers of the highest tier units, sometimes four or five times the normal amount in vanilla Bannerlord): www.nexusmods.com/mountandbla...
Death for all: This mod allows you to set the rate at which nobles die more often. I want both a harder challenging late-game but also a more realistic game. If you're cut down with a massive aserai two-handed axe, you shouldn't just be injured 99.9% of the time. It's a very customizable mod so you can just a little more death or set the death rate so high you get several deaths every battle. The number I often like is '10', some deaths but not a massacre of nobles...
www.nexusmods.com/mountandbla...
I also use the Dismemberment Plus Mod: It's highly customizable and works seamlessly with the new beta(and versions back to 1.28). I thoroughly recommend it if you enjoy carnage!:
steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...
I've also used Realistic Battle Mod in the past and highly recommend it for Ai and battle realism BUT I find the pace too slow for my taste and the AI is actually rather predictable after a half dozen battles. Still I wanted to put a plug in for it here, it's a GREAT mod and highly configurable. www.nexusmods.com/mountandbla...
Much of the music and inspiration for this and other videos in the channel are inspired by Epic History TV - probably THE best channel on youtube(and the internet for that matter) covering the Napoleonic wars. With amazing work Epic History TV takes you through the dramatic and incredibly story of Napoleon covering all of his most famous battles. I HIGHLY recommend it.

Thanks! It was very dicey, fortunately instead of using their xbow they charged. I think they were probably out of ammo from the long-range exchange...

I rather love it too. Every battle(especially from here on out) is going to be harder, more enemies and require me to multitask as commander and berserker more and more. It's been fun so I'm stoked others are enjoying it too!

Thanks brother - Hopefully some of the videos on the channel help you develop into a beast. There are different playlists depending on your skill level to help you advance, and eventually dominate. Goodluck and I hope like others, in a few weeks you're telling me about how you have started to wreck face. Happy killing!

If you want a much better two hander, I have a Falx build that is pretty amazing. Without a legendary you can get some pretty sick builds, but I’ve altered it now that you can get the weapon tiers and we all know what you need to make them. I could be wrong and you love that axe- but the Falx also has shieldbreaker so it functions similar to an axe, but my legendary version comes out to 132 length, 159 swing damage, 94 swing speed, and 81 handling. The non-legendary version I think I’d have to look on specifics but basically I believe it was 135 length (which is the main difference), and I think 92 or 93 swing speed, with 156 swing damage and 81 handling. I wish they didn’t put limitations on some of the polearms. I’ve made some sick two handed swingable and lances. I’ve got a polearm that I shortened to be like an axe that is significantly stronger as well (96 speed, 129 length, 165 damage I believe), it just doesn’t have shield breaker- but I wish they would let you have some options to gain shield breaker on some of those (like the heavy glaive and voulge heads realistically should have shield breaker), or the ability to have couched lance on a pilum head, or a variety of the other self imposed limitations where equipping some type of weapon part makes it lose an ability that other parts have. If you want a specific type of weapon though, I’ve figured out what I believe are the best in class types of weapons for each weapon style- but I also have a ton of different alternates in case you prefer a certain style of weapon (like the rhomphaia over the heavy glaive). Most of my polearms I make with the throwing shaft to add versatility but I’ve got some short versions that I make with the base shaft for speed and to keep it shorter, I’ve got others that are obscenely long, or best damage at a certain length. You don’t really “need” them all to be legendary, but I try to make everything so that it can become legendary (weapon part score 4.5+ avg.), but some of them I go with the Masterwork for a specific attribute/effect. If you specifically want rhomphaia’s I’ve got a 175 length rhomphaia that is 86 speed, 84 handling, 155 damage if I remember right, but I also have two shorter ones for additional speed, and some longer versions that are optimized but obviously speed goes down as length goes up. For crafting, they really need to fix the fact that anything with 3 parts can’t become legendary (because empty slots count as tier 1) and add in Tier 5 parts to every part that doesn’t have it right now. After that I’d love it if they’d do more to make axes and maces closer to the top tier swords and polearms. Also, I 100% am with you that we need to be able to whistle for our horse! I hate it when I’m doing a siege and I want to be on horseback to start to arrange my siege so the right companion is shooting, and then go use my bow and ride around behind the enemies if there’s gaps in the wall just annihilating them, but then I have to get off my horse to arrange the companions and the horse gets hit with an arrow and retreats/disappears before I catch it. Sorry this ended up kinda long, it’s hard to describe without it getting that way, and I rant a little bit about all the dumb shit they need to fix when I talk about it lol. Let me know if you want the recipes to make weapons though or if you want a specific weapon type to try out one of my builds. If you specifically like axes, I’ve got some pretty good ones too, but personally I would ditch it entirely, I don’t see any benefit you get from the axe that you don’t get with the Falx, except much better all around. If you don’t care if they have shieldbreaker/knockdown/dismount, that type of effects, I can always add more length/speed/damage to some of the items as well, but I usually try to go for maximum effects with the best attributes unless I’m going for a specific length/speed/damage. You can just reply here, and I’ll put the recipes in another comment if you want any of them.

Haha, I totally get it brother - the list of things I'd like to see fix would be a gigantic book OR a 4 hour episode/rant. The bottom line is that TW seems to be moving slowly and we have to rely on modders to sort out most of the 'fixes' or changes we want to see. Fortunately they seem hard at work, even if TW isn't. I don't actually smith anymore but this info IS of use to the many fellow enthusiasts on the channel and I appreciate the same desire to fully trick out and gear up for battle. I think the single thing that keeps me wielding my axe is that it kills/hits two or three targets at once. Very often I am engaging a huge amount of troops and it helps a lot to kill two guys with every swing, I don't think the falx or any sword, can do that. Still, that IS a pretty sick weapon, with length, damage AND speed.

Thanks for posting this. I havea few questions: How do you level up your companions? How do you pick them? And last but not least, what's your setting for selecting which units enter battle in the first wave? I think the default sends a % according to the number of each kind of units.. and there's another one that sends top tier first... what's your setup? Thanks!

How do you level up your companions?: We're in an extremely late-game campaign and at war with all eight Kingdoms, so it's mostly a function of time(decades) and years and years of non-stop fighting. How do you pick them?: I just look for companions that have weapons skills OR some semblance of leadership. I prefer specialists, guys that are great at one or two things, not good at several. For normal battles I use either 'default' unit prioritization OR high level first. Using the other settings would be unusual circumstances, like trying to level up lower level troops.
