I did pretty terrible in this first part, but I SWEAR second ep is much more fast paced, better combat, bigger fights and much more progress! Hope people stick with it!
I just noticed this series and I’m hooked. Somehow I’ve missed this game coming to full release and I’m buying a copy. Please keep this series going! And do another infantry or something.
I actually really liked the humble start. I've never played this game before so it was super useful when you explained the UI and everything. Looking forward to seeing how this game progresses!
I have not seen this game as of yet. It looks really good. I love how you explain the different regions/empires. Definitely looking forward to the next episodes and how you explore and expand into different regions. All in all i am super excited 🙌🏽🙌🏽
As a lover of bannerlord the first episode and maybe second are going to be slower than later episodes, I look forward to seeing our aspiring Noble become a fully Fledged Valandian Knight in service to his king
This is an awesome game -- I'm so happy that you are playing it! The only other person I've ever Patreon'd hooked me with this game. Excited to watch your take on it.
Never played M&B before, got Bannerlord from the wife on Steam for my (getting old) birthday. And must say this game is a ton of fun, three days and pumped a good 30 hours into the game. Look forward to seeing how your play through continues.
no need to apologize mate for not doing everything like a pro or something like that . its more fun when mistakes are done especially in such sandboxes where actually mistakes and failure are part of the story and it make them intresting
When I remember right, by pressing RMB you can equip the clothes directly, and you then do not need to drag and drop it on your character. Was no friendly fire on own troops with melee an option, or is that always like that? I remember it with FF on.
@@WhatDarrenPlays ah, okay, good to know. But advanced recruitment is not online as I see it? I hope I will find some Online-Battle servers with FF on in melee.
@@Finndu Advanced recruitment is not online? Not sure what you mean. And personally I've never played the game online, though there are mods to play the campaign online, and there is a battle pvp mode.
@@WhatDarrenPlays sorry, it is called realistic recruitment and that is on. I got a bit confused. I played quite some cRPG with Mount and blade. Pretty sure I will try cRPG with Bannerlord.
Would you recommend the campaign mode for a first playthrough? I have started the game but haven't made much progress. considering starting over now that I have got the basics. But, I like the idea of just jumping right in, and starting in my home culture.
The campaign really is just like most other quests but its just longer - i do recommend having it there for the first playthrough as you get a few items along the way. To me it was just a bit repetitive as ive done it multiple times and I dont think it makes for good viewing as it doesnt have a strong story. Thought itd be best to just make my own story!
A little late but just my 2 cents: The campaign really just feels like an extended tutorial with a very basic story, if you're comfortable I'd just jump right into sandbox.
Vlandian Sharpshooters are mad lads. Recommend them if you are sticking with the pure Vlandian force (though a good army is a balance of different cultures)
Would be kinda cool, but I just rip em out and bin them after a few days :P The satisfactory ones were cool to look back on, like a baby engineers notepad with “flow rates” abd little diagrams on them 😂
Yess love this game, if you're gonna try out mods at all in this series, I highly recommend Bannerkings, RBM, and Improved Garrisons EDIT: Bannerkings is apparently kinda unstable in 1.0
The reason I'm not using mods is stability. For a youtube series I can't have my save breaking 10 episodes in. For that reason I'm not using any, but I've used many in the past.
I mean I haven't played since near when the game came out, played about 200hrs and companions died constantly for me Now the fact you can place them in formations at the start of battle its probably easier to keep them alive

Could u pick a specific faction for ur units plz
@@malustargaryen5824 Yes I'll be recruiting Vlandian only
That's just how M&B games play lol

I loved your Project Zomboid playthrough and already loving this. There's something about your playstyle that is really immersive and fun to watch!
As someone who hasn't really played this game.i really appreciate the build up and Intro information. Let's turn that immersion up to 100 ROPCHEER
Never seen this game before. I love it. It’s so open, with so many possibilities. Can’t wait to see ep. 2!
Welcome
TIL I don’t have to do the tedious walk through the city/village everytime I want to speak to a quest giver 😂

Tremendously well done, Look forward to seeing how I... I mean Darryn gets on.

I thought Darren was going to say “They like to get up in your face and beat your shit in”. I was like damn Darren, when did you become a menace.
I love this game and really hope you keep playing it’s really enjoyable to watch you play
I just got interested in checking this game out and then I saw you uploaded this. Talk about timing!
Never played M&B before, got Bannerlord from the wife on Steam for my (getting old) birthday. And must say this game is a ton of fun, three days and pumped a good 30 hours into the game. Look forward to seeing how your play through continues.
Glad you're enjoying it!
Definitely do a first playthrough and than add mods to add some spice to your game
Nice intro - pretty concise summary of the state of play..
Looks interesting. I'll be keeping an eye out for the next episodes.
no need to apologize mate for not doing everything like a pro or something like that . its more fun when mistakes are done especially in such sandboxes where actually mistakes and failure are part of the story and it make them intresting
Love this game, hyped for the series!
Always wanted to play this game! Now I will!
My biggest tip is proficiency at every weapon in tournies. You never know what garbage they'll throw into your hands.
Even tho I'm a total beginner I found your video very helpful
Damn Darren, I’ve not even finished the first episode and you already have a fifth out! 😂
Great new campaign!
Cant wait for the rest of the series!
The only troops you will ever need are Fian Champions and Elite Cataphracts xD
I know im 5 months late but damn Caesar is an intimidating gentleman.

Its always like that, if you melee your own troops it cancels your attack

I’m here for the play through
id love to see a lot more!
Vlandian Sharpshooters are mad lads. Recommend them if you are sticking with the pure Vlandian force (though a good army is a balance of different cultures)
Yeah love them!
When are the Anno 1800 videos coming back?
When the videos stop getting copyright claimed. Working with Ubi on it in the background
This is going to be awesome
I would love to see your notepad filled with gaming notes, go through it and figure out what note is from what game.
Would be kinda cool, but I just rip em out and bin them after a few days :P
The satisfactory ones were cool to look back on, like a baby engineers notepad with “flow rates” abd little diagrams on them 😂
Oh yeah, this going to be good
Much appreciated mate. Thanks for the entertainment :D
Love it when looters used bait to lured you in, they maybe cowards but pretty smart ain't they XD
"lucky" :P
Can't wait for part 2 ❤️
Ooo this gonna be good

Vanilla is better
@@WhatDarrenPlays that's understandable, hope Darryn Caesar will end up conquering all of Calradia!
Someone plzzzzzz tell me how to save my sandbox playthrough. Plzzzzzzz!!
Press escape, click save. :P
Lets go
749th view on the first video, can’t wait to watch the series
i really struggle with this game
This is gonna be goood
20:40 im dying just speed the time 😤❤
If I speed up all of the Sea Raiders could've got me.
@@WhatDarrenPlays got it!🤥
yeahhhh🥳❤
Nice 👍
Broooooo don't play in first person 😅😂 honestly third is way better for blocking and seeing around you.
it's not about doing well, its about **being** there
@@WhatDarrenPlays ah right gd luck with that 😬.
You are so wrong about companions dying a lot, lol. Isn't hardest difficulty if you turn off companion death.
I mean I haven't played since near when the game came out, played about 200hrs and companions died constantly for me
Now the fact you can place them in formations at the start of battle its probably easier to keep them alive
Had heard of this game but never seen it played before. Am now hovering over the buy button
Let me know if you end up getting it!
@@WhatDarrenPlays I did buy it and I have to say you have been making combat and troop management look a lot easier than it is.
@@WhatDarrenPlays in fact I have now purchased Anno 1800, End Zone, Dune: Spice Wars, Sweet Transit and this because of your videos lol
