Welcome back again Warlords! In this second of five videos I have planned at the request of some viewers, we'll cover flanking maneuvers and using terrain in this battle, particularly water. I'll do a series of these over the upcoming weeks and hopefully it helps bridge the gap for some players that aren't quite ready for advanced tactics but want to springboard to them. If you're not badass at Bannerlord, you probably will be after watching this series!
Thank you for watching - 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 three 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'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.

Another really cool video. The way you 1. Present your plan with a step by step break down of your reasoning and 2. Give a full explanation of your execution makes it informative and more importantly to me fun to watch. Nice use of terrain to mess up some soldier's days. The finishing flank maneuver with the cavalry misdirect was chef's kiss. I have a feeling more popular bannerlord youtubers are going to start using your tactics in their roleplay videos. Thanks again. Edit: nice use of the music from requiem for a dream, what a great track.

They were unfaithful in a big battle I lost and some retreated, so the family members were banished or exiled(or married to the enemy), and I executed all of my high level companions. lol, nah, I just removed the 8th group and placed them all into the 4th corp because at the request of subscribers, some people wanted to see guides showing less than eight corps - a more simplified version of advanced tactics.

As long as the enemy has a meaningful skirmishing force (horse archers) with ammo, they will hold off with the attack, the horse archers will attempt to draw you back towards their lines if engaged in melee and then return to harass you.

Yep, but that's such a bad tactic: they are outnumbered like 50-60 horse archers shooting at 125-150 archers. No chance. Instead they should circle-shoot WITH a coordinated attack of the main infantry vanguard, archer support and a calvary charge from the other flank. It's too bad the AI is so mediocre.

@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions I think the idea is to drain you of arrows before the main battle, and (hopefully) bait the cav to sally early and get caught out away from the army. From what I've noticed the enemy seem to coordinate the attack if the cav-archers is a significate part of the army, otherwise they are used as bait. Or it might be a culture-thing, Empire and Sturiga using cav archers for skrimish while Khuzite and Aseri use combined tactics, I'm not entirely sure.

I know I already commented and said alot, but I'm curious if parking your army in the river to the east of your starting position would cause the AI to wade through the river to meet your army, letting your archers rip them up once in lethal range. It would be very cheesy but pretty funny. What do you think?
@HeadlessHorsemanProductions
@HeadlessHorsemanProductions 6 ай бұрын
That's a pretty interesting idea. Cheese is like using all your arrows, then retreating(reloading the fight), then fighting again, etc. It's all fair in tactics as far as I'm concerned. Now I don't want the enemy stuck in a wall or something but everything else is fair game. I think I'll try it some day :) And there's no such thing as too many comments, I'm trying to create a community here of advanced bannerlord players - there just aren't many creators showing what I consider advanced tactics so I decided to start a channel myself.
