A well regulated Militah, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

I played a drinking game where I took a shot every time he said "Militta" and now I am dead.

Only came down here to say its pronounced "malisha", but i see everyone else has done that lmao

culture has nothing to do with your traits. Culture is the actual culture of the character. If you put a sturgian companion on a empire city as a governor you will get that -2 debuff.

Very accurate and useful information, but the "governor culture" has nothing to do with the traits, it's about the culture. To elaborate, if your character has a vlandian cultural background, being the governor of non vlandian culture land has a negative impact on those settlements. So ideally, if you were to use a governor in sturgia, you would want to put a sturgian governor in charge.

Militia is pronounced mil-i-sha btw. At least in the states.

This game is so good. I just picked it up this weekend and man... I am so engrossed in it. I can't really wrap my head around how detailed this game is. Seriously... freaking outstanding.

I've listened to this a few times while playing and I just got to the end...thank you, I've been using your guides like crazy

This legend has been getting me through games since childhood. So glad to see one of his videos in 2024

The reduction in loyalty was not because of deceitful it was your culture. I believe you need to be sturgian for that city.

As a dyslexic, I never knew this is how I must sound when I read

Summary: Lime Kilns + Irrigation = more food

The main reason I've clicked your videos, simply because you got a clear & vivid voice, suffice volume in the video and best video quality & contents created from you~ Cheers!

A week ago I didn't even knew about this game and thanks to your videos I'm totally hooked now. You make great content!

Great video, thanks! I've watched quite a few of your videos and you've helped me a lot, thank you!

Hint: 17:23 Workshop: Build this first before building walls/Fortification, because it will speed up the building process otherwise it will freeze up and still showing as still building (under construction and will hold-up/freeze the current building walls lv2 to lv3) after days have passed after weeks non-stop, basically going nowhere. Reason: No more brick to use to build up the walls (bricks will upgrade the wood base walls in time). If there is no production of bricks to be made. 18:15 Governor: For example in my gameplay, if the culture is not the same, the governor I assign in the small castle will automatically move/teleport (literally teleport, no movement in the map) to the bigger castle with shops after one day has passed. I'm not sure why? Maybe it's a bug? (patch version e1.0.9 currently).

lol,thats what's great about ESO,even if he gets some things wrong he's still entertaining to watch.But luckily he was right about alot of things as well.These videos are great for new players,and already tons of people have gotten it just because ESO made it look fun.Keep up the good work,I love these videos,especially your tactics during warfare.

Great job Danny..game on..!!! And thankx for answering my question about your game settings..

Loving the let's play/guide Small pet peeve, Militia is pronounced muh-lish-ah

In the UK, can confirm Militia is pronounced Mil-i-sha. HTH :-)

Amazing and really insightful videos. Can you do a video on running through the tactics commands that you can issue in battle. Many thanks

Thank you very much for this super helpful video! Helps me a lot now :)

Does anybody know how to up your castles daily production? Mine is stuck in the negatives.

Thank you ESO! I appreciate your intelligent explanations

Thanks, this helps a lot. I got my first city yesterday and was a bit lost on how to feed the people.

He still doesn't know about the tabs in the trade menu XD

-10 loyalty in the comments for pronouncing "Militia" wrong. +3 cringe for every time you do it. -5 prosperity for not googling a word. Your videos are very useful. Thanks man.

I love your vids mate!

Just to add to that, if you have workshops in your city based on the village production, as you previous advised in your video, then increasing village production can also boost your workshop income. This works really well with expensive workshop items like silversmiths if they have a mine, for example.

I love it when you said, "as you can see this village was raided....by me actually" lmaooooo

I'd argue a workshop and a construction specialized companion is the best combination to get a town/castle up and running. Both increase the speed other buildings get complete. Allowing you to get the food production and militia production stablized fasyer

We do appreciate them! & we appreciated it in fallout & Skyrim as well

Man, i wish i could play this game. Cool video tho, keep up the great work Danny

The reason food and prosperity are linked is as a soft cap limiter for militia quantity. If you spend a lot of time watching a town or castle, you will notice that there are constant shifts between +food and -food. As prosperity increases slightly, more militia will appear, thus increasing more food need, which eventually lowers the prosperity as the food production eventually cannot keep up. Over a few weeks or months, this number will eventually stabilize (assuming no raids on villages and no sieges), but it will still constantly fluctuate between a small quantity of + or - prosperity and food. This video actually promotes increasing prosperity. If your goal for the castle or town is as a military bastion, it is actually better to not increase prosperity. Prosperity is by far the biggest negative impact to food production/use. Keeping it low means more food for soldiers. A very big warning, which you didnt mention, is that food shortages will mean any garrison in the castle will start to lose soldiers to desertion. This can and will mean that your backup high level units you left in the town will eventually disappear over time. Of course, the game is EA so there needs to be some balancing and changes (example, reserving X food for military garrison consumption). Until that time I am using a mod which allows me to modify town and castle bonus food production. I have given both a 300 bonus to food production (magically appears, not linked to villages) to offset the negative from prosperity. After a few years playing with this mod I am actually considering to remove it. It isnt solving the problem, I still cannot reliably place garrison soldiers and expect them to still be there later. Effectively the mod just increases the time it takes for the town or castle to reach the critical prosperity cap to become food-negative. It also has a side effect of making siege defender militia number near 1000 units :O which is great for archers, but not so much for my choppylads. edit: having the modded boost in food makes the games factions less steamrolly. Because militia quantity increases, there is less chance for empires to siege, or successfully win a siege. This is most noticable when factions havent conquered several new towns and castles.

Been loving all these Bannerlord videos, been watching them with my morning coffee. :) :) Keep up the great content, especially the Let's Play.:D

Question: does having a governor automate wall repairs and siege defenses? If so that may be worth having. I’m sure we can get mods for recruiting more companions

Thank you mate you are amazing. Your explanation really helped me

Dam, what a great job explaining this. Thank you, it helps so much.

Big shout out to ESO! Just binged your M&B2 playlist and some epic and high quality content bro! Can't wait for more to come. Its a must watch!

Millta, grainery, kill me now ffs lol

Love these videos man👌

Thanks for making this video it helped a lot.

Nice video bro. Idk what would i do without your videos. They are really helpful and informative. Keep up the good work bro ♥️♥️

Hey ESO. love your work. just wanted to ask if its possible to release a new guide to the game as some of the new updates have completely changed some of the city and castle mechanics as well as the general world mechanics. would be awsome to watch some new bannerlord content from you. cheers

You all know exactly what he means so I have no idea why you're bothering to pick up on his pronunciation. -,- thank you for the awesome guides, dude!!

Thanks for the video it helped me a lot

This video gave lots of useful information thanks. The Italian Spartacus video didn’t tell me anything

Nice and clear guide. Thanks a lot. Why not putting all the guides in a playlist?

You really love this game huh? Soo many uploads, awesome

First off noone should have trouble managing food on a 2.2k prosperity city ... when it hits 6k prosperity, then its another matter then ur prosperity gives u -150food. They should increase the stockpile of the granary by atleast 3 times the amount. So ur garrison doesnt starve in 2 days while beeing sieged. Every 2k prosperity gives u -50 food, every 50 men in the garrison gives u -2 food. Every bound village gives u +4 -> +12 food depending on how prosperous the village is. So irrigation is +1food (town passive when not building) and the faction policy "hunting rights" gives u another +2 food. (every bit counts i guess) Every village produces a bit of grain. So grain is ur go to food in a city. (it gives u the best food bonus aswell) Which is still not enough to supply a high prosperity city. Having bound villages that produce food stuffs will provide ur city with extra food. (if the villagers reach the city offc) 100 Fish is like +13food 100-200 grain is like +75 food. So if u take a city like Reyvill as shown in this example. Its 1 of the better cities to have cos of all the villages that produces food. But if u take a city like Mizea its a prosperous city with no bound villages that produce food then u really gonna struggle keeping it fed in peacetime. But luckely its a city and u can sell food to it to keep the city food production positive (up to a certain prosperity lvl). Also trade caravans bring in the non regional foods. Now during war as soon as ur settlement gets sieged expect to loose garissoned troops within 3 ingame days. (yes 3 days is alot u can travel across half the map with a 200-300men army) Lets just say ur city has 6k prosperity -150food Grain +73 fish +13 meat +8, olives, grapes, dates and all the others combined +30 or so. Total +124food from food in the market(trade window) Minimum 2 villages/settlement , max 4. So that makes +8 -> +48food This means during peacetime u r allready loosing -2 food on average, lets say ur villages are prosperous then ur making +12 food total. As soon as ur city gets sieged or 1 village gets raided ur in the negative on food. So a maxed out granary has 160 food, which is enough to feed ur city for 1 day and a half, a well stocked market lets say 300 grain 100 fish and some of the other foods will add another 2 days. In short for me its not worth putting any sort of garrison in a settlement. Unless ur city is far behind the frontline so the chances of getting raided/sieged are low. Or if ur staying within 1-2 days travel from ur city. So u can kill the attackers before they do any damage. U can micromanage ur food supply in cities by trading food to them if there short on food (which is a good way of making money) But this basicaly stops u from doing anything other then beeing the food runner of ur city. So leave a garrison in ur settlement at ur own peril. On the good note militia troops dont use food production. But if the food production goes negative they do get a starvation "bonus" :) Also a militia of 100-300 will defend your city for a fair few days. Usually enough time to get to the city and break the siege. Thats kinda what i do when i take a city just hang around till its militia is about 50 men and a positive food situation I hope this helps. I dont find it worth my time to leave garisson troops in my settlements. But i do leave a garrison of 50 low tier units in my garrison occasionally or when im over the troop limit(after battle) U never know when u need a bulk of troops after a battle but i wont recommend it as a standing defense force.

Thank you, very helpful. +1 to ESO information

thank you for an in depth guide.

Help me Obi Wan Kenobi.... you're my only hope! 😂

Thanks for this. Game seems promising but without these guides online I'd never power through the steep learning curve. It's just too hardcore for a casual gamer.

This video was great. You Explained everything very well. You got a new subscriber👍🏼👍🏼

I just started playing not to long ago, after 3 different games I've successfully capped Car Banseth after the rebelled from the Vlandians. did the same with one of the castles. it has -17 food currently and my issue is none of the attached villages sell food, just clay and silver. I have the garrisons full of rank 4 troops but thats because I'm expecting Vlandia to attack me any day, they're on a battanian conquering spree and i just sat myself right into the center of it.

I wanted to mention the militia thing because its driveing me mad, but I Can see others have done that. Good job guys!!

@ESO - Production is to do with the building of further upgrades/building. It is nice to have, and should be prioritized when all else more important is squared....loyalty for example. Cheers.

Culture refers to the base cultural background of the individual (i.e. Vlalandian, Battanian, Imperial, etc.). People with the same culture as population in the city will provide a bonus, whereas different cultures will be penalized. This means that if one of your companions is Sturgian and you capture a Sturgian city, that follower will add a bonus to the morale of the population.

Great video with lots of useful info! How have you played games like this so much and don’t know how to say militia/granary though… so confused

since everyone is correcting stuff Id pitch in that lime kilns are for the production of buildings as in mortar for bricks and the making of mud walls not fertilizer.

Great Vid battle brother!

"Ive been killing all of my enemies" Ah, a man after my own heart lol. Im so glad we can do this now in M&B. Great video btw, really helped me understand alot of things better.

what do you think will happen if someone found a way to capture the values of perks and skills, and maximize them from the very start?

tip here: If you own city and it's running out of food, (you should have granary ) just go into your (future) enemy city, buy all of their food and then sell it to your city.. It will help for some time.

Oh my God how I was thinking the hammers meant that they want you to build so I clicked on them thinking I had built whatever it was asking. my God this game is huge. I literally have so many countless hours invested into the game and I feel like I still am about 10 to 20% of learning the game in general. And I was thinking I was about to take on Skyrim. 🤦🏽‍♂️

You cant trade castles but can you trade castles villages to help the castle?

Good video and thorough info, although i'm pretty sure the negative culture is a result of the governor not being a local (same kingdom).

he still doesn't understand how stewardship Works in this game leadership now affects morale stewardship affects party size stewardship is the most important to level you get more companions and troops as you get perks unlocked under it not just taxes

There are settlements that just don't produce enough and can't sustain food. Especially notable is the large city of Ortysia whose attached villages are far as heck, and it constantly starves. Low prosperity cities usually do fine on their own and can sustain a reasonably sized garrison. The far south town of Askar takes this to the extreme and can swim in all its grain and beer for years if a certain bannerlord doesn't decide to take its entire stock every few days.

Without any governor, I couldn't build several things in row, even tho I put the hammer on all of them. But since I put one, alle the chosen perks had been built

you have probably clicked on this video if you have a castle. don,t have the game just love Danny,s personalty keep up the good work.

Thanks for the tips

Muh-Li-Shuh MUH-LI-SHUH MUH-LI-SHUH

I gotta say I hate getting a new castle and not being able to just put food in it. It feels like that's what a stash should be for.

i have problem with food shortage as well , I would like to try according to your advice but I still have some problem as well about invited lord to my kingdom mostly successful persuaded lord to my kingdom but soon they left the kingdom if you have any advice how to maintain lord not to leave the kingdom that would be great

I got a City (Chaikand) and it's always out of food, it has all upgrades but it can never hold food when I mouse over it Prosperity makes it go down by 255 or something, but because my food is low it takes away from my prosperity anyway. So I can't seem to get food to mitagate the prosperity loss and having high prosperity is causing the loss so is there a way to solve this catch 22 or is it even worth to sweat over it?

ESO will you continue posting the play through more often- your my favorite mount and blade 2 player rn!

I have another usefull tip for bannerlord combat: don't ever get an arrow in the knee, or else you end up as a whiterunguard protecting nazeem

How do you deal with the random declare war issue currently in the self kingdom system?

Nice video

Can you change the production of villages? Maybe like in the North Wood to fish

Granary is pronounced GRAN A RY. Love the videos

thank you love your work. are you running any mods ?

A governer with high engineering not only helps in times of sieges but also reduces construction time for all projects like gardens, or barracks etc.

All my projects on my settlement are upgraded to the max with 3 villages (not raided) and i have still food issue.

A Governor with high engineering also builds building like lime kilns faster too as well as siege equipment

can you please make a video on how does trates work? and what effects what?

Really like your style of explaining issues :D SUBSCRIBE!

Thank you!

You are 100% right. I clicked on the video because my people are starving

in battanian culture, vandal vassal i dont get option of lime kilns. near strong empire so need huge garrison wat i do?

So don't be a bad governor like Danny and Gardens. got it. keep up the good work.

"muh·li·shuh" & "feef" damnit

i was listening not watching at the time when you said Militia and was like wtf did he just say and had to bring the video up to see.

How exactly does each cities production match with every Workshop

I have a city øhh the small once but they are like minus 22 rep so cant do mission to get the rep up any iders how to help it up ?

What can I do when the settlement has - in building?

Can you do a update on it? Also can someone explain why it takes AGES to upgrade a city? Even tho my engineering skill is max.

How do you get construction is it’s at 0%? I’m struggling with my castle. Little help!!
