Welcome back future Khans, Emperors, Jarls and Sultans of Calradia! We're continuing to show our late-game campaign including huge battles, and winning(most) of these battles by deploying advanced tactics to overcome superior enemy forces. 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.
This latest episode is Volume XVI of our Expert series features a huge battle where we faced overwhelming odds in an ambush and we try to showcase complex battlefield tactics and the use of terrain to try and surmount these formidable challenges. This series is designed to help players further their field command to the point where they will fluidly move troops depending on situations, and win battles like a Legend.
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:
For my main campaign, I use four mods:
Lord Retinue Uptier(Makes the enemy forces stronger, much less peasants and lower ranked troops)
www.nexusmods....
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....
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....
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...
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....
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.

Thankyou for making these videos! I'm about 150hrs into this game and already destroying my enemies because of elite tactics. Crushed an 800 man army with only 30 losses last night. Peek a boo ridge and slamming the horse archers was a huge success.

I remembered one battle at the bridge. The enemy had a big advantage in numbers, but we managed to occupy the bridge. Infantry division: A squad of shields + pikes in a shield stance, a squad of pikes behind the shields in a line (in case of breaking through the shields). crossbows at the beginning of the bridge, and in front of the crossbows in the middle of the bridge in a free formation there are pikes (menavli). archers on both sides of the bridge. Cavalry behind the bridge (in case it is necessary to pass, the first 2 units in free form and then in original form). The Empire went on the defensive, in a place convenient for itself. Infantry in a circle, archers in the center, cavalry detachments on both sides. They only reacted if I actually attacked someone; before that they waited patiently. The hero was forced to beat them for a very long time under arrows and crashing into the cavalry, then he divided the cavalry detachment into 2 (he beat them with one and attacked with the other). as a result, they still had to attack with infantry, but there was much less enemy cavalry.

I like to think that during those two early aggressive flanks, one or two of there nobles died. The remaining nobles gathered there men and pushed you HARD, foaming at the mouth to get their revenge. During those massive scrums before the ridge retreat one more fell but amidst the chaos the enemy didn't really notice. Once you pulled over the ridge almost immediately two more nobles died breaking the spirit of their men all together. As they retreated they noticed the dead body of the unnoticed 3rd death. Truly crushing the men as they ran with terror.

12:30 I need to remind you and add a tip to others. Units with ammo have a bar on the bottom of their card showing the percentage of ammo still available. At that point your 4th was just under half and your 5 th was spent. You picked up on it amazingly well so kudos, but to others there is a solid way to know. Note with javelins/thrown.. that bar chunks down fast. It can also be wonky with mixed units. That is more where the visual cues are important. I mostly point to the time stamp to say... That 5th corps is now a shock infantry section.
