If this EPIC SIEGE content is popular enough I may record and release either a second EPIC SIEGE some weekends OR an Epic Siege ASSAULT on Sundays. Let's try this, if this episode gets 1,000 views this weekend I'll upload a massive and BADASS siege Assault I had recently for tomorrow. Thanks for the support friends! (Don't forget to click 'like' too, assuming you actually did like it lol)
@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions I hope you have, started a new play through because of you lol, btw I vaguely remember you mentioning fire catapults in another vid and whether they were "real" , google "greek fire" ;-)
@@trevorhunt9358 Yeah I've known about that long before but apart from a few instances, it seems like it was mostly used as a liquid, sprayed fire. Still, you're right, it is a close analogy.
You are the only channel I actually look forward to releasing a new video. So yes, I am entertained! Keep it coming. I dont care for others exploiting etc that get better results, you play the game legit and also make it suspenseful. :)
Just to preface, I’ve been playing mount and blade since 2008, many iterations and mods, but I gotta tell you, I’ve watched a couple of your videos and I have been very entertained 🥳 My tactics usually end up over world, from cracking warbands economy making food too expensive for everyone to hiring all the good troops and throwing them away in fire and sword so my enemies were relegated to shit armies 😂 In bannerlord I’m slimy and tricksy, often working against who I want to work for so I can cause problems behind enemy lines, like buying up all the food just before they get sieged and leave the kingdom then join the army walking at the town haha. Or in a large battle, sign up for the enemy, take the lords out of action, abandon the battle, often breaking it up, then signing up for my allies again to crush leaderless troops 🥲 That was my “All is for the Empire/solo Senate” play-through. I didn’t have to be strong, just betray people.
Thank you friend, that's especially profound from someone with so much experience! I'm doing my best to entertain and edumacate folks! :) I love the idea that you're both roleplaying and playing out a guerilla warrior, something that has been effective through REAL world war history and it should parallel well to Bannerlord...Sometimes it's good to be bad. 😡
@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions Pfft, I’m in no way profound, the double square at the gate and square on the stair was genius 👌 I shall be implementing that, your archers riddled the fuck out of people for a laugh 😂 I am no more than an experienced schemer, willing to take control of an unit and calling for retreat so the battle is lost, but less so in tactics, I have splitting units and flanking shield walls instead of hitting face to face and the trusty hammer and anvil, that’s about it. Oh and ranged on high ground 🥲 I hope to learn more 🙌🏼
More of whatever you'd like, but hopefully you mean views, likes and subs - I think people are going to LOVE this Epic Siege series. Hope you stay tuned.
Not EVERY day but I have enough content now either produced(or planned) to cover the entire Summer - at which point maybe this Autumn a new campaign :) Stoked you're enjoying!
@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions I will have to try to get a defense over there, so far on my playthroughs once I conquer Vlandia it seems like it just never gets attacked
@@jaynizz582 No question the best castle is the VERON castle style. Fortunately it's duplicated in probably 10-12 Imperial castles, so it can be used all across Calradia.
How do you get that many javelins? From the looks of it you use 3 weapon slots of javelins for 35 javelins, but when i look at javelins they have 5 stack amount at most.
There are loot items that drop that have what are called large bags of javelins and they have seven then once you add in all of the perks you can get a huge amount of total javelins especially if you run with three stacks of large bags
What do I need to make this game harder.. after watching your videos I’m crushing 2000 troops with my 300.. yes on Bannerlord difficulty. 50% damage on my guy but I don’t really fight just command and clean up guys retreating. Maybe I should use fian champions anymore. Idk.🤷
I found that Beach area on one of your videos where it funnels everyone into one ally.. lost 34 and killed 1036.. crazy battle. Guys are just too weak. 😢
Add the Lord Retinue Mod listed in the description and that should make enemy armies MUCH stronger. You can edit it so that lord armies acquire 4x the exp so their troops are elite... THAT should make it much much harder... Goodluck! (and it's a good thing you're crushing it but obviously you need MORE of a challenge lol)
@@pronouncedseven652 I run a mod called StrengthenAI. It allows you to give enemy lords XP, gold, recruits and more. It’s not uncommon to find a lord or lady with max or nearly maxed skills leading an elite army of maxed out lords. And because I am a sadist, I run another mod called Heal On Kill and give them 50% life steal. Then if you want to further handicap yourself, do a full run only allowing yourself to recruit from your starting race. You can only use that factions gear, recruit followers of that ethnicity, marry other members of that ethnicity, and use only that ethnicity’s troops.
Good battle. Unfortunately I don’t have square formation right now and there is two breached walls on the castle I’m trying to defend from a sturgian siege
Probably the closest insight into the character I have of late, there may be some other videos floating around too... studio.ruclips.net/user/videozn79sEogri8/edit
@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions didnt know if it was different, im on console version. i think i am? lmao, just started a new playthrough, so at the moment not yet. have been learning alot from these series and i am greatly appreciative that you upload!
I continue to look into this. Not sure how 'portable' it would be as I often play/stream in multiple locations... We'll see, but thank you for the feedback!

The upload took too long today then got interupted, but we'll get this up onto the channel soon! Thanks for your support fellas!
We are entertained , good job ;-)
Thanks mate, hope it continues - I have a lot of creative/destructive ideas ahead of me!

@@mrbritish6673 We all learn(hopefully) until the day I die. Stoked to meet more amazing enthusiasts...
masterfully done earned a sub
I appreciate that mate, hope I continue to satisfy your entertainment or tutorial desires!
Nice video bro. Very cinematic. You certainly excel at juggling units in hectic engagements. Very impressive.
Thanks brother, I appreciate all your support.
This deserves more!!
More of whatever you'd like, but hopefully you mean views, likes and subs - I think people are going to LOVE this Epic Siege series. Hope you stay tuned.
@@HeadlessHorsemanProductionsyour tactics are definitely impressive dude. If this gets a chance people would definitely love it.
Sieges are always a delight
Got some doozies coming along. Stay tuned!
Great video
Thank you hombre.
hell yeah brother, new day new video
Not EVERY day but I have enough content now either produced(or planned) to cover the entire Summer - at which point maybe this Autumn a new campaign :) Stoked you're enjoying!
@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions Happy to hear that, will be wathing them all
Loved it ❤😂
Thanks bud, I appreciate it!
YES i’ve been yearning for a castle defense.
You got it man, and more coming!
I think Vlandia has some of the coolest castles and towns in the game
Agreed BUT their cities are HARD to defend, some of the hardest.
@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions I will have to try to get a defense over there, so far on my playthroughs once I conquer Vlandia it seems like it just never gets attacked
@@jaynizz582 Yeah edge of the map benefits... AKA England :D
@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions XD. You have a favorite castle or city for sieges?
@@jaynizz582 No question the best castle is the VERON castle style. Fortunately it's duplicated in probably 10-12 Imperial castles, so it can be used all across Calradia.
Not really related to the video, but to use a 2 handed polearm (like a long spear or a glaive) do you need 2 handed skill or polearm skill?
Yeah to use a two-handed pole arm you must have pole arm skill not two handed skill they don't stack.

Why no square? Console?? You NEED it and flank the side with archers and skirmishers to stop a huge force in a castle with holes in the wall...
@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions yes I’m on ps5. I haven’t upgraded to square formation the most soldiers my guy can have is 275
My Lord what is Your Axe build. and Character Perks
Probably the closest insight into the character I have of late, there may be some other videos floating around too...

Sean Strickland?
Haha, amazing how often I get asked this...
everytime i defend a siege, it does not give me prep time. just automatically thrown in. are you on steam?
Are you the kingdom leader? That might be the problem. I use steam to download the game but nothing else.
@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions didnt know if it was different, im on console version. i think i am? lmao, just started a new playthrough, so at the moment not yet. have been learning alot from these series and i am greatly appreciative that you upload!
I enjoy the commentary, you should think about upgrading your mic. It doesnt even have to be high end
I continue to look into this. Not sure how 'portable' it would be as I often play/stream in multiple locations... We'll see, but thank you for the feedback!
