@@meghansmith7884 smithing is the fastest way to a million denars from what I've seen grind it out with your max companions in the beginning and you'll get rich quick tbh
The difference between charging and engaging your enemy are as follows: Charging. Your troops will charge steadfast towards their targets without keeping composure to their original formation. Engaging. Your troops will keep composer of their original formation while pushing to engage their target's. 🎩 🧐 you're welcome.
@@Dolph_Vader if you use engage and move them towards the enemy they should keep formation and head towards your choice of placement. Please be advised this information has been collected via a PlayStation and not a PC so there maybe a slight difference as PC updates are more direct and current as apposed to console. I would also like to point out that i find your name hilarious Dolph Vader and very creative haha well done.
Also a good tip to finding companions rather than just roaming around looking. Open up your encyclopedia go to heroes, click wanderer filter and voila it will show every current companion, click on them and it will show you where they were last seen and if you have already met them, it will show you their stats
You missed the best advice you could possibly give to a new player - Find a sugar mommy, talk sweet to their dad, marry, sell their armor for an easy 60k. Put them on every Frontline for the rest of their lives.
My brother married a low ranking noblewoman and even she has gear worth around 25k. I didn't sell any of it because everything on her was better than my gear lol
Learned a lot of new things in this video even though I've been playing BL a ton lately. A few extra tips I guess from what I've picked up: Practice troop orders early on. While it might seem silly when you only have 12 units in total, I find it's easier to get in the habit of your formation keys and planning mentally with low amounts of troops than suddenly remembering to do that when you have 50+ in battles that carry more weight. Pressing left Alt while in battle will highlight all your troops icons, and your enemies icons telling you what kind of troop they are, and how many are left in that formation. Extremely useful at teh beginning of battle to figure out what formations to use and how to approach the battle. ALSO will highlight dropped weapons and shields in case your shield breaks in a melee. Think about what terrain you're engaging enemies in. If you have a very big focus on horse archers, try not to engage enemies in a forest on the world map because BL actually does a pretty fantastic job matching the battle terrain to the terrain on the map. In wars, listen to your army leader. If they say to charge the left infantry do it. I've found that you tend to win more battles following the AI's instructions than going on your own. At least in my exerpeince.
I’d imagine the thing about the AIs orders is that they ai actually expects that as if it was its own units. So if the ai expects you to follow that order and send the troops to the left it’ll be controlling its troops to handle the rest (if you target something else it’s exposing the left now as a flank that your ai isn’t planning for)
Why would I give the video a like and subscribe BEFORE watching it? I don't get why content creators keep saying this. Who rates something before they see it??
It's not a big deal, it just makes no sense. Nobody decides if they like something or not before they experience it. It's like getting a survey for food taste before the waiter brings it. The video is great and I DID like it but only after I watched it....
Very unique is an understatement for this game, it's literally the only one of its kind in the market, at least as far as I know, it's a breath of fresh air for sandbox games, I'm waiting for manor lords release next year, hopefully, it would be a great contender for this game.
You can either use a bow,or a polerarm,to circle around enemys on your horse. put block on movement,and attack on look direction. do tourneys for quick cash and xp,+ renown.
I'm 30 hours deep into this game now and have just started watching your videos. I think they're great. Appreciate the effort, edits, humour and information. Cheers man.
I didn't even realize you only have around 1k subs until now. The quality of the videos and the way you lay them out made me think it was a lot more, keep it up!
I have also not played in a long time (I think twice since it came outvof early access). Nice to have this to get me back up to speed before starting again.
For cleanups, at the end of battles. I use Calvary to form circles around the stragglers to slow them down, and have "scattered formation" infantry charging them.
Amazing video so far I just started today I have been doing Arenas since I got the game and a few battles here and there it’s slow progress but worth it
1) I like starting off with 15-20 Aserai Footmen. Because they have a mace, which means more prisoners. Crossbows and maces knock-out opponents instead of killing. 2) I first look for a wife/husband to start pumping out kids. They'll also be a skilled companion with great gear. 3) For companions, I first look for a Spicevendor to form a caravan and use most of my companions for caravans. 4)When I have all the caravans and workshop I can. I fill up on troops and wait for a Rebellious town to siege.
I had a 600 unit army but during a siege i lost everyone from an ambush. 900 people where in that army... Also a couple more tips here 1. Try to get Aserai Mamluke palace guards Or Sturgian heavy axeman Use these to charge and weaken the enemy 2. Imperial cav are amazing at pvp i clutched a 20V60 against vlandian cav with em/ 3. If your attacked by a higher party try retreating to a castle before they make it to you
Second time I'm giving mount and blade a try, first time was years ago. Same problem now as I had then. First off, I hate reading dialogue. So I don't do it, but now I have no clue what the game is about. I ended up just doing practice fights in the arena for like two hours then killed some looters. People say it's about what you want. That it's a sandbox, you set your own goals. But that's not how my mind works. I don't set goals, I never have. Even in life. I just do what falls in front of me. But in this game, i feel like nothing falls in front of me. Nothing gets in my face saying this is an issue that need resolving, except for a few lost siblings I've never seen. Maybe it's just not for me. The combat is fun though. Also, skill trees overwhelm me, so I tend to ignore them. Edit: Help, I'm addicted
Best advice, pick a faction and go to their main cities and seek out quests. This isn’t like an rpg that hands a story to you and railroads, it’s as you said a sandbox you have to seek the story you want (easiest way is building up a relationship with a faction and taking it from there).
already got 200hrs in the game over the last 4 ish years but still watching it because i quit everytime at a certain point when i feel like i dont progress anymore because, after 50hrs of playing, i have 100+ tropps and lots of money but idk how to fricking get a castle or otherwhise progress into lategame while staying independent
Easiest way that doesn't piss off the entire world: wait for a city to rebell and conquer it then. Otherwise if you get trade up to max you can just buy fiefs. The way I usually go for is join a faction, start war with everyone around by raiding them and then defect while keeping my fiefs, then you just have to defeat enough of the faction you left for them to make peace. Also you should set up companion parties (in the clan menue after you reached a certain clan level), as you can call them to join your army. So at the point of progression you are describing you should be able to muster about 300+ soldiers of your clan. Then while besieging make sure to build trebuchets to dismantle the defenders catapults before you start the battle and if you are undisturbed try to starve them out (will gradually kill all garison troops once the settlement runs out of food (remaining days of food can be seen on the top rider while besieging)
I recommend to build character atributes 1.Social 2.Endurance 3.Inteligence. Be mercancery than Vassal and get wife as soon as posible use smithing to get Lord orders and donate enemy Lords to the dungeon to improve lords relation for future kingdom Creation. If you dont use NPC in party role (as quatrmaster can be your wife with steward because she have to stay with you if you have born enabled). If you screw it you dont need to start new game. You can retier your character in the middle of the map location and play as another family member.
Do practice fights. If you're the last standing you get 250. My strat has been to stay ranged for as long as possible. Took me ages to get used to melee combat (blocking, etc.) A helpful tip for arena fighting is to stay mobile, you move faster when moving forward in comparison to strafing or moving backwards so if you get into a melee fight just turn tail and lead them to someone else in the arena so they get into a fight and you can stay ranged. If you run out of ammunition for your ranged weapons you can pick more up off of bodies or if you find it on the ground. Idk much else about the game yet.
I watch many of you videos for both entertainment or because I need a guide for something. In my opinion Bannerlord is such an underrated game but when it comes to your videos I see many, many views on them, but not really any appreciation like likes or comments. You are one of the only people who actually do good guides on this game. I also notice that some of your videos are quite unappreciated, what I'm saying is that your channel is very helpful and needs alot more support to balance out the work that you put into these videos.
Most the time I go empire calvary because I've found thar a horde of them hitting from two sides steamrolls most of the enemies, and the highest 2 tiers can steamroll in sieges too
Very helpful guide especially if you just started like me. When you send companions away on a quest, on return they seem to forget their role and you need to reassign them. Imagine this game with better graphics and less clunky combat. It's already great but that would be amazing. I might try combat with a controller, what do you think?
Great video and congrats on the channel growth. This looks like a cool game and is currently available on Game Pass. I'm gonna check it out now, thanks.
@@WindsOfficial it helped a lot I’m up 10k now that I know to loot and sell everything. I was thinking since the numbers were so low it wasn’t worth it but it really helped! And I didn’t know about companions either, you don’t know how much better you’ve made my time in just the 2 hours since I watched this🤘
that is really a beginners guide :) here is my advanced beginners guide: 1. start a new game!!! 2.make a character, no matter what yo do, dont put ANY point in to vigor or control, you are forced to put 1 point into one of the weapons sadly, but other then that, NOTHING into weapons or vigor/control. simply because EVERY other focus and attribute tree is MUCH better in long terms. the 7/5 rule lets you max out a skill at 275!!!! a MUST have 275 at the end is steward, medic, charm, leader, tactic!!!!! 3. when your game starts, skip the tutorial and just run DIRECTLY towards bettania and get yourself 15+ battanian youth archers. 4. fight some looters and dont fight yourself, give the exp to you archers. 5. as soon as you have around 7 or 8 battanian heros, go an do only hideouts. they give very good loot at the beginning of the game. 6. while you are looking for hideouts, also check out tournaments. and depending on the price, win them. especialy noble mounts can give good money at the beginning!!! a tyal horse can sell for 15k early game. 7. after a few hideouts, you will reach clan level 1, get yourself a wive ASAP and join a kingdom as vassal. (NEVER capture a lord, ALWAYS let them free after the fight, that will give you charm 275 in no time and will also build relationship very quickly) 8. look for a companion you can use as a scout, with the possibilty of getting 10 attributes in cunning and 5 focus points in scout (maxing it to the fullest) 9. look for a companion that can max out on smithing (10 attributes on endurance and 5 focus in smithing) 8 & 9 EXTRA. if you plan on a really long game, get yourself a low level wife that has points in endurance and cunning.) it takes a while, but you can make her into your maxed out scout AND smith!!!!!!!!!!! with that you open the space for 2 more companions because you dont need a smith and scout companion. 10. you are ready to rule the world!!!!
i’ve been playing for years, even on warband. with the games lack of direction it’s hard to know what to do once you’ve hit a certain point. id say after 5 years of playing the mount and blade series very on and off i’ve never been able to successfully make my own kingdom
Is there ANYWAY that i could play this game on mobile...? Like on psp or something? I have Steel And Flesh 2 and it haven't been updated in 2 years and I'm waiting for the big update since an eternity
Enemy army size is half (usually more) of the total size. I.E. If you set max army size to say 400 and you fight an enemy with an army of 300 the game tries to auto balance the number of troops so both sides are close in power. The rest of your troops "should" show up somewhere on the battlefield and move toward the player character as reinforcements after the total number of troops on the field falls below that 400 threshold.
I feel like cav are the way to go most of the time. Especially the upgraded ones. I steam roll every infantry army with like 60% cav and 20% for both archers and Infantry. One your party is like lightning quick and you get bonuses for Norman’s traditions for footmen on horses so you even move faster. Then you bully the low tier armies get that free renown and your infantry just shield wall mode with archers on engage and you can slaughter any army that is 2~3 times your numbers. I they do have to be upgraded to tier 4+ to do the bigger armies
the mechanics sure i can keep up, but i don't know how to progress the game. i keep doing tournaments, building up my party to a respectable 40, fight raiders and cull the ones who can't level up in time, but by the time i get to t2 or t3 all the raiders are gone, im fighting kingdoms as a mercenary, and all my units are back to t1 because the veterans are dead. i carve one fief out for myself and almost immediately i am besieged, or go broke trying to keep my finances afloat.
Step 1: gain renown from tournaments, killing raiders and clearing out hideouts until you reach clan level 2. Step 2: Choose a faction you like, find a lord of that faction and offer yourself as a mercenary. Then continue to fight raiders, looters and if your leige is at war, their enemies. You'll gain influence for any of those tasks and be paid quite a lot daily based on your influence as well as small sum for each battle you fight. You'll level up quickly doing this and unlock more troop capacity through perks. Step 3: Use your cash to outfit yourself and level/replace your troops. That'll get you entirely through the early game grind. I don't bother trying to take fiefs or anything else until I have reached clan level 5. The kingdom manager side of the game is late middle to late game. Just focus on being a merc and building cash and an army of T5+ troops.
Oh and it's worth mentioning, if at any point the faction you're fighting for asks you to become a vassal, just ignore them. It ain't worth it. As a merc you can leave their kingdom and go fight elsewhere without taking a hit to your relationship with them. If you're a vassal it'll cost you some hard won relationship points.
So two months ago you were going for 1k subs. Two months later and you are pushing 4k subs! Impressive my dude. So if you get around to reading this.. What did it for your sub explosion? Was it a certain video that really tipped it over? Was it a certain game or video subject that made your numbers jump? Your loyal followers would like to know! Seriously I'm not asking for youtube channel advice or anything like that. Just curious for real. So many think being a streamer / content creator is easy but it's actually quite difficult and takes real hard work and dedication 😊
Man honestly, I think it’s just focusing on making quality content. A lot of creators forget that there’s actual people on the other side of the screen watching what they make. People’s time is valuable, so you have to try and meaningfully add to it, either by being entertaining, funny or insightful. Currently I’m just focusing on Bannerlord, which has done well to build up a bit of an audience. But very soon I’m gonna start to branch out a bit and try out other RPG’s, so wish me luck!! Thanks for the comment man!
16:33 What are those troop recommendations bruh... Unless the stats have been changed, imperial has the best infantry and cavalry, aserai has the best archers (battania has the best elite but they are a pain to aquire) they also have the best shock infantry, kuzait has the best horse archers as well as the worst infantry, valandia has decent infantry considering they have maces but still not as good as imperial, and sturgia is bottom of the barrel in like every regard, having like the worst archers and cavalry simultaneously with mid infantry.
My first try is a pure bow on foot and kinda sh** specially in arena so i reset and created a 1 handed both in horse and on foot and i rule the whole arena.
Played for couple hours. Lad was pretty cool. A lord asked me to get him Five catelon chargers. Didn’t have the gold. Failed the quest. He killed my soldiers and took me prisoner. Wtf. 10/10
I like to travel alone, with a crosbow and two stacks of bolts and beat marauders meanwhile i go from town to town selling and buying stuff to make money. I don't hire troops or companions until i have some workshops or caravans to make passive income.
The game will run on surprisingly low end machines with the right amount of tweaking to settings. That being said, look up the system requirements on literally any search engine and you'll know for sure
All the tutorials I can find seem to assume a person understands how to open this or that. What about a simple explanation of the UI first as a reference. I just got this and can't even find how to open the market where I'm supposed to buy some grain as the leader of this first village mission tells me. The fricking tutorial is useless. Push a button on the left to move some grain... Oh, what fricking button is that supposed to be? I've pushed every fricking button I can see. About to delete the game because such a simple thing is so fricking frustrating to find. If it's like this for other stuff, fk it.
They still need to come out with the mod exspansions like War Tides,an the rest from the first mount and blade should be very cool once those all come out

Great vid man! The I was unsure how to tackle bigger battles and this helped a lot!
Glad it helped!
Any news on the Viking raider play through?
I think I’m going to release a more raw version of Bannerlord playthroughs, so keep an eye out for those
Less talking, more raiding.
really important question.. during the video you opened up/extended the combat log notifications in the lower left, how do you do that?? which button
Do you mean the menu for troop actions? If so just press f1 and the menu should pop up.
Just got the game finally, sick video bro got a sub, will watch some of your other vids sure you’ll get big soon 🙏
Wow thanks a lot man! Means the world to me 🙏🏼 🙏🏼
love it great guide!
Thanks dude!
Nice video, this clarified a lot
Glad I could help out man
Do practice fights. If you're the last standing you get 250. My strat has been to stay ranged for as long as possible. Took me ages to get used to melee combat (blocking, etc.) A helpful tip for arena fighting is to stay mobile, you move faster when moving forward in comparison to strafing or moving backwards so if you get into a melee fight just turn tail and lead them to someone else in the arena so they get into a fight and you can stay ranged. If you run out of ammunition for your ranged weapons you can pick more up off of bodies or if you find it on the ground. Idk much else about the game yet.
I just got the game. Havent played yet. It looks good
I watch many of you videos for both entertainment or because I need a guide for something. In my opinion Bannerlord is such an underrated game but when it comes to your videos I see many, many views on them, but not really any appreciation like likes or comments. You are one of the only people who actually do good guides on this game. I also notice that some of your videos are quite unappreciated, what I'm saying is that your channel is very helpful and needs alot more support to balance out the work that you put into these videos.
Here at 3.7k keep it up homie
❤️ ❤️
Army comp: battanian fian champion.
That's it. That's the army.
Most the time I go empire calvary because I've found thar a horde of them hitting from two sides steamrolls most of the enemies, and the highest 2 tiers can steamroll in sieges too
Very helpful guide especially if you just started like me.
When you send companions away on a quest, on return they seem to forget their role and you need to reassign them.
Imagine this game with better graphics and less clunky combat. It's already great but that would be amazing.
I might try combat with a controller, what do you think?
Haven’t played with a controller before, but I don’t mind the combat on keyboard and mouse
@@WindsOfficial I'm usually keyboard mouse person but for some things like Dark Souls for example, controller wins
lol i love hearing road to 1k subs and seeing you have 3k good guide, congrats
It’s been a crazy journey so far. The support has been incredible, still only the beginning but ❤️❤️
Great video and congrats on the channel growth.
This looks like a cool game and is currently available on Game Pass. I'm gonna check it out now, thanks.
Thank you🙏 I just got into Mount and blade and was getting frustrated with not having enough money this really helped
Glad I could help out man!!
@@WindsOfficial it helped a lot I’m up 10k now that I know to loot and sell everything. I was thinking since the numbers were so low it wasn’t worth it but it really helped! And I didn’t know about companions either, you don’t know how much better you’ve made my time in just the 2 hours since I watched this🤘
Great tutorial video!
Thanks!! Glad you liked it!
Nearly 5 thousand subscribers now
It’s insane man 🙏🏼🤭
that is really a beginners guide :)
here is my advanced beginners guide:
1. start a new game!!!
2.make a character, no matter what yo do, dont put ANY point in to vigor or control, you are forced to put 1 point into one of the weapons sadly, but other then that, NOTHING into weapons or vigor/control. simply because EVERY other focus and attribute tree is MUCH better in long terms. the 7/5 rule lets you max out a skill at 275!!!! a MUST have 275 at the end is steward, medic, charm, leader, tactic!!!!!
3. when your game starts, skip the tutorial and just run DIRECTLY towards bettania and get yourself 15+ battanian youth archers.
4. fight some looters and dont fight yourself, give the exp to you archers.
5. as soon as you have around 7 or 8 battanian heros, go an do only hideouts. they give very good loot at the beginning of the game.
6. while you are looking for hideouts, also check out tournaments. and depending on the price, win them. especialy noble mounts can give good money at the beginning!!! a tyal horse can sell for 15k early game.
7. after a few hideouts, you will reach clan level 1, get yourself a wive ASAP and join a kingdom as vassal. (NEVER capture a lord, ALWAYS let them free after the fight, that will give you charm 275 in no time and will also build relationship very quickly)
8. look for a companion you can use as a scout, with the possibilty of getting 10 attributes in cunning and 5 focus points in scout (maxing it to the fullest)
9. look for a companion that can max out on smithing (10 attributes on endurance and 5 focus in smithing)
8 & 9 EXTRA. if you plan on a really long game, get yourself a low level wife that has points in endurance and cunning.) it takes a while, but you can make her into your maxed out scout AND smith!!!!!!!!!!! with that you open the space for 2 more companions because you dont need a smith and scout companion.
10. you are ready to rule the world!!!!
Whats the 7/5 rule?
How do I know what to buy in location A to sell in B ??
idk but im hyped to play so only listening to audio to not avoid blind experience
Enjoy man!
underated fr
❤❤
i’ve been playing for years, even on warband. with the games lack of direction it’s hard to know what to do once you’ve hit a certain point. id say after 5 years of playing the mount and blade series very on and off i’ve never been able to successfully make my own kingdom
I want them to do a mash up with dynasty warriors
Ever played dynasty warriors tactics?
*dynasty tactics*
Is there ANYWAY that i could play this game on mobile...? Like on psp or something? I have Steel And Flesh 2 and it haven't been updated in 2 years and I'm waiting for the big update since an eternity
I can recommend Medieval 2 for mobile.
I’m a vessel in the empire, their 4 clan and I didn’t even know the difference between engage and charge till I watched this video, thank you man 😂
No worries my man!!
excellent guide!
Thanks man!
Great guide. I've been playing for awhile and the tips are spot on.
Also, what's the music at the epic montage scene?
Thanks man! Hmm I’m not too sure, I know I got it off Artlist
My question is why there’s only like 10 troops in each group in custom battles when I set the troop number overall to over 200?
hmm not too sure about this man, is it still happening?
Enemy army size is half (usually more) of the total size. I.E. If you set max army size to say 400 and you fight an enemy with an army of 300 the game tries to auto balance the number of troops so both sides are close in power. The rest of your troops "should" show up somewhere on the battlefield and move toward the player character as reinforcements after the total number of troops on the field falls below that 400 threshold.
I feel like cav are the way to go most of the time. Especially the upgraded ones. I steam roll every infantry army with like 60% cav and 20% for both archers and Infantry. One your party is like lightning quick and you get bonuses for Norman’s traditions for footmen on horses so you even move faster. Then you bully the low tier armies get that free renown and your infantry just shield wall mode with archers on engage and you can slaughter any army that is 2~3 times your numbers. I they do have to be upgraded to tier 4+ to do the bigger armies
the mechanics sure i can keep up, but i don't know how to progress the game. i keep doing tournaments, building up my party to a respectable 40, fight raiders and cull the ones who can't level up in time, but by the time i get to t2 or t3 all the raiders are gone, im fighting kingdoms as a mercenary, and all my units are back to t1 because the veterans are dead. i carve one fief out for myself and almost immediately i am besieged, or go broke trying to keep my finances afloat.
Step 1: gain renown from tournaments, killing raiders and clearing out hideouts until you reach clan level 2.
Step 2: Choose a faction you like, find a lord of that faction and offer yourself as a mercenary. Then continue to fight raiders, looters and if your leige is at war, their enemies. You'll gain influence for any of those tasks and be paid quite a lot daily based on your influence as well as small sum for each battle you fight. You'll level up quickly doing this and unlock more troop capacity through perks.
Step 3: Use your cash to outfit yourself and level/replace your troops.
That'll get you entirely through the early game grind. I don't bother trying to take fiefs or anything else until I have reached clan level 5. The kingdom manager side of the game is late middle to late game. Just focus on being a merc and building cash and an army of T5+ troops.
Oh and it's worth mentioning, if at any point the faction you're fighting for asks you to become a vassal, just ignore them. It ain't worth it. As a merc you can leave their kingdom and go fight elsewhere without taking a hit to your relationship with them. If you're a vassal it'll cost you some hard won relationship points.
As new player and the actual state of the game you have no chance in early gane to win a tournament. I like that, it was to easy in the past.
When you've played the game forever and are watching guides to see if there's anything you've missed.
I'm still trying to figure this game out lmao! I literally get bombarded in sandbox before I even walk
This looka like top tier potentially one of my all time faves.... but cant digure out wtf to do. Make momey or find looters or whatever
I'm thinking of getting the game is it worth it and is there going to be a Bannerlord number 3 soon?
The nation of rohan needs no infantry 😅
So two months ago you were going for 1k subs. Two months later and you are pushing 4k subs! Impressive my dude. So if you get around to reading this.. What did it for your sub explosion? Was it a certain video that really tipped it over? Was it a certain game or video subject that made your numbers jump? Your loyal followers would like to know! Seriously I'm not asking for youtube channel advice or anything like that. Just curious for real. So many think being a streamer / content creator is easy but it's actually quite difficult and takes real hard work and dedication 😊
Man honestly, I think it’s just focusing on making quality content. A lot of creators forget that there’s actual people on the other side of the screen watching what they make.
People’s time is valuable, so you have to try and meaningfully add to it, either by being entertaining, funny or insightful.
Currently I’m just focusing on Bannerlord, which has done well to build up a bit of an audience. But very soon I’m gonna start to branch out a bit and try out other RPG’s, so wish me luck!!
Thanks for the comment man!
Can I give army item what I want? I mean if I want to give my inflantry good axe,can I do it?
16:33 What are those troop recommendations bruh... Unless the stats have been changed, imperial has the best infantry and cavalry, aserai has the best archers (battania has the best elite but they are a pain to aquire) they also have the best shock infantry, kuzait has the best horse archers as well as the worst infantry, valandia has decent infantry considering they have maces but still not as good as imperial, and sturgia is bottom of the barrel in like every regard, having like the worst archers and cavalry simultaneously with mid infantry.
What weapon is that, is it some type of polearm like a glaive
It’s a glaive that I made
Love ur videos fam ❤
Glad you like them!
how do you not have liek 100,000 subscribers??
❤❤
How is your daily gold change so low
Good stuff
Glad you enjoyed
My first try is a pure bow on foot and kinda sh** specially in arena so i reset and created a 1 handed both in horse and on foot and i rule the whole arena.
Heck yeah man!
Nice Guide, thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Pre watch:I struggle with being able to afford the army wages
I hope post watch it is better now
How do you do that wide swing on horseback
How can you tell a tournament is going on?
Batthans with javs are fucking scary when your on horseback and get to close just due to the number of spears coming at you
can you drag a unit formation out on console?
Not too familiar with the console versions
You can. you have to select it with the directional button and hold L2
Played for couple hours. Lad was pretty cool. A lord asked me to get him Five catelon chargers. Didn’t have the gold. Failed the quest. He killed my soldiers and took me prisoner. Wtf. 10/10
I'm here for the peasant shakedown
I like to travel alone, with a crosbow and two stacks of bolts and beat marauders meanwhile i go from town to town selling and buying stuff to make money. I don't hire troops or companions until i have some workshops or caravans to make passive income.
I have played the first game quite a bit. I wish they had Swadians... King Harlus needs his butter.
Very nice video I’m an expert at this game but this coulda helped a year ago. I literally had to fight against the algorithm 😅
But how am I supposed to know which lords to have good rep with early game? Am I just supposed to know??
Can i run this game on my Rayzen 5600g pc ?
Hmm not too sure man, but it sounds like a big number so probably..
The game will run on surprisingly low end machines with the right amount of tweaking to settings. That being said, look up the system requirements on literally any search engine and you'll know for sure
Thank you for Teaching Me The FN Game Coach!!
All the tutorials I can find seem to assume a person understands how to open this or that. What about a simple explanation of the UI first as a reference. I just got this and can't even find how to open the market where I'm supposed to buy some grain as the leader of this first village mission tells me. The fricking tutorial is useless. Push a button on the left to move some grain... Oh, what fricking button is that supposed to be? I've pushed every fricking button I can see. About to delete the game because such a simple thing is so fricking frustrating to find. If it's like this for other stuff, fk it.
Its relatively similar to warband
They still need to come out with the mod exspansions like War Tides,an the rest from the first mount and blade should be very cool once those all come out
Great great tutorial
how to upgrade your max recruit
930 subs lol one year later over 18k well done mate ill give you a sub if you teach me this game.
Just about to start god help me 😂
Good luck my man!
