I’m using a similar dirty tactic for fiefs. Gather army, declare war, take fief, declare peace. The tributes are disgustingly expensive but money isn’t really an issue for me.

Thanks!

Thanks for watching! Conquering too much can get a bit boring after a while. Even in these runs where everything goes pretty quick, the middle part is a bit tough. Near the end when you are almost done it gets more exiting again.

Thanks for watching! I can pick a lot more skills in social/intelligence since I don't need to fight myself.

Yes, if you are playing 1.7.0 then smithing is a lot harder than it is in this run. It can still make money, but not as much and it's harder to get good parts.

@@realitycheck908 I was sad when my sword that normally got me 60-70k only got me 25k 😭

@@realitycheck908 my guy im still pumping out two handed swords. Literally only took 30 mins or less to grind smithing up just enough to where i can sell swords for 50k at any city.(average amount a city/trader has) Got millions and I'm chillin. Once you find that part combo that sells for high you're chillin

@@SloppyCanada I make 2 handed polearms (long glaive) and sell them for 23k each. It requires a wood 2 fine steel and 2 steel. What's ur recipe for the 50k sword?

Same, I like to usually play at my own pace and enjoyment, as a way to chill out over how fast I can take over calradia. Everyone bought the game though, plays it how they find amusement or enjoyment out of it. Though most bannerlord videos and playthroughs on KZfaq seem to be focused on speed runs.

Thanks! It really helps me

Final idea before i go to sleep: Stick to a kingdom all the way through as a vassal. Then give up all your fiefs so you can get voted and always have the city nearest to the warzone, because that's where your allies will deposit all the nobles they capture. This way you might be able to get a bunch of NPCs to do your job for you, but i have little idea if it would work other than "it kinda worked for me by accident a couple of times". Another risky move would be to leave a city with a small garrison and close-ish to the front but not as the first line. The enemy comes to siege it, your allies break the siege and immediately deposit all the enemies in your dungeon. I've done this by accident when my kingdom was at war on multiple fronts and it works pretty well... until the enemy actually took the city, but by then i had already gotten like 8-10 heads without having to fight for any of them.

Wow! I'm honored that you took the time to write such a detailed reply. I won't respond to everything, but I'll take the suggestions into consideration. I'm sure there are a lot of things that can be done faster, but it'll take some time to identify+verify+practice the fastest strategies. >> when you see "cavalry: 54 + 2w" you know they have two lords captured I didn't know that. That's really neat, thanks! >> If i might ask though, why not kill the mercs? You'll have to fight them over and over as they switch from one kingdom to the next. >>I get that they'll die if they stay to the end, but at least when the opportunity presents itself you might as well. >>Costs half a second, and has a good chance of saving an allied army or keeping a village from being raided so you can recruit from it. >>Even if they're neutral, its more parties taking up recruits. If I kill a merc lord, another one will spawn and take their clan party slot. So keeping them as prisoners actually minimizes the merc parties on the map, I think. >> Stick to a kingdom all the way through as a vassal.

This way you might be able to get a bunch of NPCs to do >>your job for you, but i have little idea if it would work other than "it kinda worked for me by accident a couple of times". I'm not sure I fully understand how this would work. Sounds like it could be good, but I'm just unsure. My strategies for farming prisoners as a vassal are underdeveloped at the moment. What I can say though, is that I need to make my own kingdom pretty early so that I can farm enough influence to pass all the policies I want and 500 for the first vassal. All of this should be done before the first inheritance. In this particular run the inheritance was delayed by like 45mins so I had plenty of influence, but I'm not sure that is always the case. >>Another risky move would be to leave a city with a small garrison and close-ish to the front but not as the first line. The enemy comes to siege it, >>your allies break the siege and immediately deposit all the enemies in your dungeon.

Again, sounds like it could be good, but I'm unsure since it sounds like another thing were you'd need to stay as a vassal for longer.

To illustrate my point of an ungarrisoned castle: around 2:50:00 you accidentally leave only like 4 dudes in Veron Castle and they immediately go for a siege. That's a great bait, since even small lords will go for the siege. And once they start building the siege camp they'll be disorganized if they try breaking the siege.

And yeah, i've been giving this sort of strategy some thought because it's very similar to a "autoresolve-only world domination" challenge i've been doing. Can't do sieges with autoresolve, so eliminating all the nobles is the way to go. Which reminds me: autoresolve gives less weight than it should to elite troops. So you can actually use bandits and militia to a decent extent, or at least dump them in a castle somewhere. This actually makes breaking a village raid pretty good, since you get some 5-10 militia for free. Another trick i'd never use in a normal playthrough but might be good on a speedrun would be to leave wounded troops in a garrison. Sometimes you're walking around with like 90 troops and 130 wounded. That's when you should consider putting the wounded ones at a castle (when you transfer units away the game always sends the wounded ones first) and picking fresh ones. The downside is not leveling your medicine, but it should speed things up quite a bit.

You should beat my time. Then I'll have to adopt your strats :)

If you have an older pc, you could try out the prequel, Warband. It has worse combat and graphics, but it's more balanced and has more mechanics & stuff to do.

@@LesserScholar thanks for the tip! love the vids :)

@@LesserScholar The combat being perceived as worse is very subjective. Most mp-focused people prefer Warband's combat and many still play it to this day. Bannerlord is undeniably prettier though and the exploits are a lot of fun. They are the reason I found this channel and I am glad I did.

@@jedrzejlipowski173 Fair point. I never got into Warband mp, but I've heard a lot of good things about it. Warband combat has higher skill ceiling so it's better for competition. But I think Bannerlord has better game feel. Hits feel satisfying, the way horses move is smoother, etc.

When all the lords of a kingdom are dead, their lands are given to a nearby kingdom/clan. In this run, I make sure everything is given to me. So I get all the fiefs by executing all enemy nobles.

@@LesserScholar How do you do it :D Everyone is just mad at me no free fiefs

@@TigeroL42 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r9-qarupl8-rgo0.html

@@LesserScholar how do you conquer the world, without executing everyone?

Elefheroi just got lucky. They'll get what they deserve next time :)

Thanks! I use trade 300 to guarantee I inherit the fallen kingdoms, e.g. at 2:58:08 3:48:14 4:04:15

@@LesserScholar Please explain. I've watched, but I still don't understand how they gave them to you. I've tried that and they give them to minor factions that don't even have fiefs instead of giving them to me, so I'm left killing everyone on the map who isn't in my immediate family. Its exhausting.

@@keithreed5952 The basic version of rules of inheritance is as follows: Geographically closest clan inherits; Player's own clan cannot inherit; If inheriting clan is a vassal, their liege inherits instead. As far as I understand landless minor clans should not be able to inherit, but rebels clans with land can. If you have a save file where landless clan inherits I would be interested to see that.

@@LesserScholar Ok, correction...it was a landless minor rebel clan that I hadn't exterminated. They were still at war wtih the eliminated kingdom. It was just my clan and two landless minor rebel clans (living in my cities) and I didn't inherit anything. One point of clarification..."Geographically closest clan inherits"...closest to what? The main city of the eliminated Kingdom or to their Kingdom as a whole? Players own clan cannot inherit...then how do you get them? This helps a ton. Thank you so much. I've spent hundreds of hours with my current playthrough and it has been frustrating...I've quit multiple times and played other games. I haven't watched the entire play through, but are you "buying" captured Lords to execute from other Kingdoms? I love that mechanic. After a large, failed siege, you can scoop up half a dozen easy and then declare war on the wounded party you just purchased them from and eliminate a dozen Lords in one blow. Great videos. Thank you!!

@@keithreed5952 Position of a clan is a weighted average of their settlements. So just imagine where the center of mass is located. I create a vassal clan that inherits. So I trade castles until my vassal is close to the center of the dying enemy kingdom. I sometimes buy enemy lords for executing, yes. I probably didn't do that often enough in this run.

It's very advanced :) Instead of going chomp chomp, it goes bonk bonk and chop chop!

I should pick my character name from GoT next time. Probably Cersei

@@LesserScholar Fitting one... Like how Tywin's early moves is getting rich then viciously overpower enemies killing them all like Cersei

@@LesserScholar thank you very much! and I really enjoyed and learned a lot from your speed run. many thanks and happy new year!

I guess I'm pessimistic or really bad at estimating. Or both :)

I don't think I got any rebels in this run. Sargot wasn't part of my empire when they rebelled. Also I had both of those policies, so they do work :) Not saying that I handled the Sargot rebels perfectly or anything. I did lose some time to those rebels, but the solution is a bit different, I think. Next run will be better in other ways as well!

@@LesserScholar oh, nvm then, i was just skipping through and guess i wasnt seeing those parts. sorry!

After this run I did a lot of research into how noble recruitment works. I'll try to use it in my future runs, but I have to be careful since vassal clans can be annoying at times

I use trade 300 to guarantee I inherit the fallen kingdoms, e.g. at 2:58:08 3:48:14 4:04:15 I don't know any way to get enough money to buy all the settlements in 6 hours.

The prices don't fluctuate when you sell to a caravan so you can just dump your whole supply. I made a video on this trade exploit: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pNl_fZiL0ba3nYU.html I guess the relevant chapter is the price manipulation one.

Enable death and birth. - if not than the new feature of not allowing anymore executing when u execute him he goes back to his fief as a with 0 troops.

Late reply, but in 1.7.0 you need to have aging/death option on to kill nobles. They changed it so that all heroes are actually immortal if you have that option disabled.

The closest clan inherits all the fiefs, but the player can't inherit directly. So I make sure that my vassal is close to the center of the dying kingdom. When my vassal inherits the fiefs, they come to me because I'm their king.
