According to dante the deepest layer of hell is very cold. Its so cold that the blood of the ppl there freezes inside their body

Those chokepoints are where heroes are made

I think the bridges at epitoc… (what ever that city name is) is super good to (better?). There’s like 5 bridges there. All good chokes… won many battles 1v4 with the use of a party consisting of mostly fians, and then some infantry and cav to help clog the bridge though. The coastal cliff chokes are good but doesn’t offer all that great of angels for archers. You really got to have better skilled fighting infantry(shock troops) to hold off mass enemy infantry in those chokes. In this video, the ratio is pretty even

Yes, unfortunately melee cav needs a lot of babysitting to be useful. Follow and move command are the only thing preventing them from getting stuck inside enemy formations and being slaughtered by peasants and recruits. There should be different commands for "charge and engage" (like infantry AI), "charge through" (like cav AI) and "charge through and regroup" (like real life heavy cav).

100%

@@iamdanieloliveira game I used to play kingdon under fire you could shift-queue commands and with cavalry you could attack-move to a point after the archer group and then shift-queue the same command to a point on the other side so the cavalry ends up moving either side and charging through the group like they should.

@@iamdanieloliveiraI never even use melee cav because of the upgrade costs and it lightens my command load to just archers and infantry, which don’t need too much babysitting to function, while I harass the approaching Calvary with a couple of horse archers, who’s AI actually works sometimes so they don’t die instantly

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! Haha I know that feeling - it's hard to stay away from Bannerlord for long :)

Lol I know what you mean :) When I do have an intro, I try to keep it to 5 - 10s at most

Bows maybe but i highly doubt for armor, weapons are set up for crafting, even standard weapons in markets are just crafting pieces put together. I can't see how can they implement a similar system for armor. Maybe they divide it how it is used for modifiers in game files ( plate, chain, leather, clothing etc)

Probably not. There’s so much that still needs to be fixed before I’d start implementing new things. I love this game, but there are a few things that can be so annoying.

There's a really great mod for that. Bows, shields, armor, projectiles... even horse armor

I really wish armor crafting be a thing. I personally much more would prefer to be armorsmith than weaponsmith.

@Kolby Williams 8 bandit groups for quest and not a bandit to be found lol. And when u do find one it's got a 6.1 speed hehe

Yeah this is one of the better ones!

Thank you! I'm glad to hear that :)

I'll have to try this out sometime!

Glad they are helpful!

The algorithm is an odd thing lol I still have no clue how it works! Glad you're enjoying my videos :)

I'm glad you're enjoying my videos! I've got a lot more coming soon :)

Anytime you see the green posture bar in the bottom right, that is RBM

Yup! I've got the full mod list (in proper order + links) in the description of this video in case you were interested: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jZ9kYMJ7uprDnGQ.html&ab_channel=StratGaming

It's a really fun way to play too!

Thank you! I'm working on the Battle of Cannae right now :)

Thank you! It's been pretty crazy for 2 - 3 weeks now

Lol the dreaded mule charge!

@Strat Gaming the slower the charge the more time they have to contemplate their demise!

Wow that does sound like a nasty unit to go up against! As long as they aren't the first ones in, they should wreck the enemy

Couldn’t you do it early firearms style? Ride over to position and demount, shoot your shots, remount and reposition. Wouldn’t work very well against harassing cavalry though and you’d probably end up with a lot of your guy’s horses running off without them

@@snaile2876 I think the correct term for what you describe is hobbies/hobelars, but I just wanted a Khan's Guard equivalent. Honestly though mounted archers are just too OP, at least now they have to get closer to throw the javelins and eat up damage through the mediocre armor. I COULD give them noble bows and Cataphract armor, but that would just make them space marines lol

Ooh that's a really good idea! It's pretty annoying have it exactly in the way when I'm trying to aim haha

:D

Oh wow, interesting! Thanks for letting me know, I'll suggest that to others when they have issues

Yeah I can do that from now on!

I've pretty sure I've seen that done, just not sure of a specific mod that does it.

Tfw you're in the final round of a tournament, against a noble. Hack n slash quickly turns into a chamber block battle...ending in a single head strike, ending the tournament. Win or lose, it's fuckin amazing gameplay.

Lol it's just not that common to see the AI perform well so when it happens, it stands out :)

That's RBM! Once you hit a certain skill level (I think it's 75 or 100?) you grab 3 from the quiver and can shoot rapidly for those 3.

It wasn't the most difficult, but it's pretty fun seeing real life tactics used in a game!

Thanks! I've got the full mod list (in proper order + links) in the description of this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jZ9kYMJ7uprDnGQ.html&ab_channel=StratGaming

Great question and I'm not really sure! I've got a ton of hours on RBM but feel like there is still so much to learn

I recently made a video covering the False Gap tactic that Alexander the Great used! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fs6aiMmpq6jQe2Q.html&ab_channel=StratGaming I'm currently looking for a mod list for the next campaign, will definitely keep this in mind :)

Sweet, thank you! Yeah it's a lot of fun, especially once you start adding mods to make it more realistic :) The biggest difference between this and TW is that each unit is individually controlled by AI. So each unit has it's own physics, will react differently to what's going on, etc. In TW, groups are 200+ units, but as far as the game goes, it's just one "thing".

Ever tried shooting a bow towards your right side? Yup, doesn't work that way. Maybe riding all the way to the enemy's rear....

@@mongiovisantiagonicolas964 You can rotate the formation to face whatever way you want, and horse archers especially will do that on their own when they're stationary.

I was thinking this as well… the archers are better off on the left

Horse archers are better on the right because they can’t shoot on their right very well. Archers on foot go on the left, horse archers on the right to flank and shoot on the move. That’s my set up and my horse archers get 50+ kills per skirmish.

@@interabits Archers on foot are better on the left. Horse archers are better on the right because they can’t shoot on their right side. If Strat had to roll them out to flank, they would have been useless on the left side. Horse archers shoot right to left very well, they can’t shoot left to right well at all, though.

It's very effective, but get's boring real fast :(

Yup!

I have a lot to learn when it comes to using cavalry effectively : (

No I haven't seen that one before. Oh wow, it's ruining your save files?! That's brutal

@@Strat-Guides Yeah it’s been really aggravating. I’m pretty sure it’s related to Distinguished Service or Banner Kings. All it does is cause an endless loop of the game freezing and having a crash exception, but it happens ALL THE TIME, nonstop, endlessly.

@@dharmeshmistry342 I ran into that with my previous campaign using banner kings. I wasn't able to go near certain parts of the map or it would crash with no way around it

Not sure if I understand the question correctly, but throwers as in Javelin or throwing axe troops I assume? They do a ton of damage in a short amount of time. Often times they won't do much damage, but they will remove a lot of shields, making the enemy much more vulnerable.

Not very much typically, unless you specifically want to play with a lot of cavalry. Individual results may vary, but I like to go something like this 50% Infantry 30% Archer 20% Mixed Cav and Archer Cav It also depends alot on the type of tactics you use, different plays are better with different armies. Another strong general build is to go really archer heavy, with another big chunk of infantry, and a very small cavalry force. For something like that, you’re relying on your archers to deal out the death and your infantry is really only there to stop the enemy from getting to your archers, and you use your small cavalry force to lead the enemy’s cavalry away from your main force, and harass the enemy’s archer line to stop them from firing

@@snaile2876 I enjoy playing Battania alot so I usually am Fian dominant. Their infantry is so mediocre though, I like to recruit sturgians & legionaries. Horse Archers are op but they don't really flow w my army unless it's like 60% horse archers lol. I think I've been around 30-40% Cav, so I'm going to adjust now, ty!

I think you can make it work with pretty much any army composition, but personally I tend to go heavy foot troops with maybe 10 - 20% mounted at most.

Character reloader! It's a life saver for sure

Lol yeah with that mod list, they go up to 350+

Stole it from a dead Vlandian Noble :)

Thank you! I got it from a dead Vlandian if I recall lol

@@Strat-Guides surely a custom job.

It's the RTS Camera mod! There's a function in that mod that slows down time, but I change the speed the other way so I can speed the game up for those boring, grindy parts.

@@Strat-Guides ah ok, was confused cause I knew there was a slow mo key but didn't notice a speed up one. Did you just go into the mod files and change the speed then?

Yup! It adds a realistic weight to each one so the drop is more realistic. It also changes the physics of the flight path to be more realistic, so it's more parabolic and not as flat.

Yeah I do read most all the comments and take notes :)

It was for the campaign - those are all bandit/companion only and the main character is Amir Timur, who was known for having hordes of horse archers. It's more for the roleplay and not for a strategic reason. Good observation by the way! It's much harder to win battles without a good set of foot archers

@@Strat-Guides Oh that makes a lot of sense, what a cool way to play the game too haha. I was going to say, I feel like my Fians are my most productive units, so was curious if there was a secret sauce I was missing! Appreciate the response, keep up the awesome content!

It's a 90 lb recurve warbow with 110 gram bodkin arrows (also have the perk that does +40% damage to mounts from bow skill)

@@Strat-Guides oh dang, there's such perk? Didn't know that lol. I'm using the Noble Bow with Bodkin Arrows too, but only deal 40-80 dmg, with no such perk. Maybe that's why. Thanks man!

I'd love to know the mods list as well.

You can check it out in the challenge video from 2 weeks ago, the combat was taken from his challenge playthrough on his other channel(Strat Plays).

Thanks for watching! Glad it's helpful :) I've got the full mod list on the description of this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jZ9kYMJ7uprDnGQ.html&ab_channel=StratGaming

That's actually a setting in the base game! You can turn them off or use the sliding scale to make them more or less opaque

Sorry that's friendly troops - if you're far enough away from the enemy formations and holding left alt, it will show the center of their formation, distance from you and how many troops in that formation

@@Strat-Guides Thanks!

I've got the full mod list in the description of this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jZ9kYMJ7uprDnGQ.html&ab_channel=StratGaming Main ones are RBM and De Re Militari

Yeah I've played about 5 or 6 of the TW games! They are so much fun

That would be really cool! Imagine a ballista on a small hill??
