  • Today we are taking a look at an Horse Archers only challenge in Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord. The horse archer only challenge in bannerlord is nothing new, but I thought I'd give it a go owing to my unique skill as someone that has never ridden a horse, but I am however an archer in real life! Join me, Koifish, as I attempt to conquer Mount and Blade Calradia with nothing but my horse, my bow and a few hundred horse archers as the Khuzaits! Let our arrows strike true!
    So let's answer the question:
    What happens if you can only use Horse Archers in Bannerlord?

  • @insight1428
    @insight1428 Год назад +2

    Fighting the sturgians with the horse archers is probably the easiest. Most of the time the sturgians have majority infantry with few cavalry. All you have to do is make 2/3 separate groups of horse archers. The AI will for some reason only focus on one group and ignore the others. You can use the AI’s stupidity to your advantage by maneuvering the other group(s) behind the sturgian shield wall and just shoot their backs, and unless you get to close to them, they will continue advancing toward the targeted group and ignore the people shooting them in the back.

    • @1ManRandom
      @1ManRandom Год назад +7

      As far as cavalry go, they aren’t that bad in sieges, honestly. The fact that they get glaives mean that they at least stand a fighting chance on the walls, unlike similar units that tend to try and fight with lances.

    • @MrWolfxman
      @MrWolfxman Год назад +3

      they're not even really vulnerable in sieges. Dismounted khans guard are like 3rd best shock troops behind only sturgian heroic line breakers and aserai palace guards I would say.

    • @kakhakheviashvili6365
      @kakhakheviashvili6365 Год назад +3

      Line them up in loose formation 30-40 meters along the whole length (or as much as possible) along the walls and enjoy the show, lmao. They'll just destroy anyone on the walls. When they'll run out of arrows, they'll just pick up ones around them (from low tier enemy units missing). Then just charge. Pretty sure you can easily take castles with like 3 times more defenders than your army. It just takes more time, than a proper siege army with diverse troops, but it requires less micro managing. Also if you run out of arrows altogether and there still are too many enemies, just retreat and go back again.
