man how do you not have 100k subs. your videos are so high quality and helpful and not over edited

Proud to be part of the 1.7%. Should be a lot more though. Thnx for the vids. They are informative and entertaining.

For those wandering why for armor i focus on Head and Body while not caring much about Leg and arm i added the reason in the description. For cavalry Legs will increase in importance but some units that perform very well like the Druzhinnik have a "low" amount of leg armor for cavalry units.

there was a certain version of the game that made battanian troops ungodly good, i did a battania-only playthrough coincidentally around then and it was some of the best fun i ever had. high death rates due to low armour, but with strategy, battanians could hurl death at the enemy through javelins, arrows and throwing axes and lord was it good

You know why the mounted skirmisher doesn't have a spear right? Cuz that would make them actually really good.

Vet falxmen and normal falxmen should have a 75/25 and 25/75 of having rompaias/falx

Vet Falxman used to be the best Shock Infantry in the entire game. Why and how did they manage to fck polearm A.I so bad Idk.. It was also getting started to be improved. I started playing in 2020 summer,1.4.2 Around 1.5 the game was receiving A.I buffs and cavalry was somehow missing less with their weapons on a moving targer. The A.I troops would not push all the time to stay in the right range,they'd even give priority to them beign pushed on,A.I doesn't move back to strike true for some reason. 1.8 needs ASAP an update,NOW!

I subscribed.

I've noticed that there are no Battanian cavalry units with horses clad in the full-scaled armour, which is a shame because there really could've been Battanian heavy horsemen who could've rivalled the druzhinnik, or even the druzhinnik champion! Anyway, interesting and informative video, nice to see that at least the Battanian mounted skirmishers are worthy cavalry, though in my experience, the horsemen weren't shabby either, but probably because they were accompanied by druzhinnik and cataphracts, maybe, never saw how exclusively around 150 Battanian horsemen performed. XD

Lets gooo

The video was really good. Some stuff was lacking, like "this unit was 7th in armor" 7th out of how many!?! 100? 7? And it's written efficiency. Also I would highly recommend a speech coach. A friend of mine got ALOT of help for his speech from that. But keep up the good work. And interesting statistics!

Hi I did some tests of my own on the latest version of Banner Lord with Battanian troops. The tests are obviously nowhere near as accurate and well done as those shown in this video I only threw tier 5 and 6 units against each other and observed the result. This video is a far better source for seeing how good units are than this comment but I thought I would add some extra info anyway. Use the information in the video instead of what is in this comment if there are opposing views the video was a far more well done piece of research than what I did and so is far more reliable so go with what LyonExodus said not me. Only thing my research has that is better than this one was that it was done today and so more recently. Ok so I tested the oathsworn very crudely as you would expect they are not good in melee. They seemed able to tank sharpshooter bolts ok but again other units would be way better as said in the video. Calvary test was a rout against the banner knights. I put the oathsworn stationary in a square the banner knights only lost 2 out of a 100. In the same scenario both the falxman and veteran falxman did well against the banner knights. I had a force half falxman half oathsworn it dealt with infantry well with the falxman dealing the main damage and same when I tested the formation against Calvary. Primary reason I did not go fully for falxman was how easily they get brought down by archers. Oathsworn were supposed to deal with this. Only time I was able to advance with the formation on sharpshooters without the falxman taking massive casualties was with putting the formation in engage and shieldwall. With the charge the falxman just go ahead and get shot down. Main thing is just to go slow till you get close. In a real battle I would have used my fian champions to deal with any ranged units and get the oathsworn to defend the falxman while doing so. Only use I found for the horseman was taking out enemy shielded infantry since their AI was bad and could not deal with Calvary that well. Even then I know shield infantry with good anti-cav like the legionary or heavy spearman would have made short work of them and any shock troop as well. Horsemen are pretty terrible don't think they can reliably survive a charge and they are dead if they meet other Calvary in a fair fight.

Im loving your videos man but your accent is confusing. Perfectly clear and understandable but I wonder where you're from? You sound like a Dutchman living in Spain or russian/slavic with an influence I havnt picked up. Maybe Baltic? Sometimes you sound Greek but have concentrated on a London accent? Haha such a pointless distraction but languages, accents and communication is a side quest of mine.

Omg, the Oathswron body armor costs 72k. Wow

a thing i would like you to do is to say the position... like the horseman in terms of armor is in 6th place... but 6th in 100 or in 10? Also i think the falxman should have an upgrade where he keeps the falx

Where are the fian champions?

When you 6th, 5th, 9th, 2nd….. what the hell does that number even mean when you don’t tell us the number of units you are including? Say “6th out of 15” or “7th out of 8”

The veteran falxman makes me sad, they are supposed to be a upgrade not a fucking downgrade

Just give them another stack of harpoons or 2 stacks of Broad Blade Javelins,as the Broad Blade are mode Battanian culture while Harpoons more of Sturgia,Sea Raider one. Goddamn TW,why are they so conservative about it?

Many of these scenarios are staged, meaning, the armies you actually encounter are different

Why does this kind of videos if everyone and their mom is using the realistic battle mod? 😁
