Yeah it's pretty interesting what you can do just thinking outside the box a little. There are quite a few things like this, especially with the perk combos!
Finally the Judas manga got an anime adaptation. I’m really impressed that they kept the goose murder chapter. Most fans think it’s filler but I think it’s one of the most dense chapters in terms of character development and establishing motivation. I can’t wait until the Thousand Year Goose Revenge Arc gets an adaptation.
@@Strat-Guides Maybe you could have found a medieval version, haha. Played by lutes and flutes. EDIT: Actually found one haha. "THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR" Medieval Bardcore version.
I did a playthrough where I started as a peasant, then became a merc, rose to become the Emperors vassal then a year later I was chopping his head off. Truly a Caesar Roman power play moment for me.
Yeah Raynor must be following the 2nd channel :) I was sandbagging this idea for a little while because I didn't want to spoil anything for those following the Vercingetorix campaign. 2nd channel - ruclips.net/channel/UCE_tZVHe5vw6P2wyb5iLtxw

I need another full week since I'm doing 5 videos in 1 for the tactics guide. Sorry for the last minute swap! I hope this one was interesting to watch as I wanted to try a different format :) *Edit - Shout out to Nate for the help with the army disband tip!
Did they fix this or an I getting super unlucky? Cus everytime I make a lord in my kingdom get captured they INSTANTLY get freed.... Not one has ever made it even remotely close to a dungeon...
The fact that you can do shit like this makes me love this game even more. The funny part is that I don't think the AI has any way of reclaiming the fiefs if you don't create a kingdom
That's 100% correct :) What I usually do is break away, sue for peace, spend a year or so building up the fiefs (better defense, upgrade influence buildings, etc.) and then go become a vassal for the next kingdom, rinse and repeat. The 1st vassal takes the longest and it gets significantly easier after that!
@@ICaligvla yes, but the trick is to have enough money to sue for peace. If you are a clan, you don't have to spend money per day to keep kingdoms off of you. You can just spend one large chunk and suddenly you are safe again. Just make sure to have extra money for closed fisted characters, because they always hit your bank harder than generous ones.

@@1982bored how far did you go in KCD? Because in the start the combat is brutal and your guy is an untrained peasant who can't even block any attacks. The combat is great for duels, but a nightmare when fighting multiple opponents. Bannerlord's system is far better for directional free form combat, though there's no fast thrust vs strong swings

Thanks Phil! I appreciate that, you've been with the channel from close to the beginning if I recall?? I'll keep trying to improve my videos no matter how big the channel gets :)
Have to say that I absolutely love the "drain influence" shenanigans in Bannerlord. Sad thing is that given how stupid the AI actually is, this may be the only way to either enforce some good policies or prevent your kingdom from going to war vs the rest of Calradia. You need to be a bit careful though, coz other kingdom(s) may declare war on you and having drained the kingdom vassals dry, they will be unable to form their own armies and defend. Currently playing this game on Xbox and from what I've seen one of the best ways of farming influence is to abuse the "donate troops" mechanism. You just need to form an army with your spouse or other family member (they need to have a party of their own) and just support them with the best troops you have. Strait after that you can get those troops back, rinse & repeat. Tried that move several times earlier today. Donating something like 90+ Fian champions (or however these guy are called) + some cavalry to waifu for 105 influence each turn. Caladog was absolutely crying with his pathetic 160 influence while I was forcing a yet another peace agreement with the Khuzaits. To be fair - I really like this exploit fest. M&B has always been a bit clunky, so I appreciate the laugh - especially that theoretically one can just not use those flawed mechanics if they really like to be legit & all that stuff.
Dang, that plot twist in the end was great! And the narrative was wonderful! 💯❤ Looks like the Waifu didn't appreciate your stomping and betrayal of her family. 🤣
I am just about to watch this video but before I do I wanna say that when I knew I will be declaring the kingdom soon I gathered most of my current kingdoms parties into army then disbanding and declaring own kingdom and fighting them all defeating big amount of them which was a good head start
I love this so much, I'm doing a variant of this I call the gaslighter The game as of 1.1-1.2 has a funny mechanic: - proposing policies/peace treaties/to revoke settlements doens't cost you any Reputation. Only the actual votes give you - or + reputations with specific clans - clans always lose influence if they appear in ballots, so you can drain their influence without losing reputation (and instead, gaining a massive amount of reputation with select clans, by being smart with what to enact) by voting in favor of certain clans (but that will cost you your influence too) So here's how it goes: - I stack up a lot of influence (thanks to the charm perk) - I trade back all the shitty castles the king decided to give me - Drain everyone's influence, without losing reputation. To do that you propose policies, wars or peace treaties that no one wants, then vote in favor of the clans, you will lose influence, but so will they. BUT you are not going to lose reputation, instead you are getting it maxed out with everyone - once everyone's drained check the fiefs you want, - ideally sort kingdom fiefs by prosperity, that is not held by the ruler, and propose to give that to someone else - vote no (in favor of the owner clan) just to make sure you are maxed in reputation with them and that their influence is drained (they will not appear on the ballot when that happens) - do it until their reputation with you reaches 100 and they drained their influence, propose to resettle the fief one more time, and vote with 20 influence so you would lose the least amount of rep - a new vote will happen, and you will most likely appear on the ballot, again, vote for yourself, with the absolute minimum required influence You can gaslight everyone into giving you their fiefs (except the king), with very little impact on reputation I love the stupidity of this game's diplomacy system so much lol Edit: as an addendum, you will cap out in the amount of fiefs the king is willing to give you and you will no longer appear on the ballot, to keep getting fiefs, you can then start kicking out clans, you can do it in a way that won't ruin your reputation by voting against it initially then voting for it with the absolute minimum amount of influence
I once had a similar plan, but not near as wicked. Leading the shifty Apple Bandit clan I started out from Battania so I could make friends with Vlandian lords (catch and release) and hoped to eventually get a nice town at the edge of the map before switching to Vlandia. It's been a long time, maybe I'll get back into Bannerlord, or maybe try a heavily modded Banner Kings campaign.
@@Strat-Guides I loved the Improved Garrisons (2.0?) mod, but you'll need to be careful or it will feel like cheating. And, if you let the garrisons level too high, will bankrupt you. I love the patrol, it helps against bandits a lot. And not having to travel, recruit and train noobs that die a lot. So I set the mod to automatically recruit up to a hundred and level slowly up to level 3. My savegame broke and I recreated it with the console (giving me a start army and money), but I went for independence to fast. The first fiefs I got were north of Ortysia and soon got neverending war with everyone, Battanions, Empire, Vlandia and even Aserai, all close... I was gonna get back into the game when the economy was fixed a bit, but haven't started a new game yet. I'm curious how it plays now.
Recently found your channel and just finished binge watching almost all of the videos I'm so glad youtube recommended the world conquest video Keep it up ♡
Nice, that was a good first video to see haha I spent like 100 hours making that video :P I'm glad you are getting some use from these videos and I appreciate the support!
Truly amazing video man, I enjoyed it from start to finish. Took me about halfway through the video until i realized the /s and was still thinking this was truly a guide to be the best vassal haha. The amount of influence you kept having was all due to charm perks? I'd love to recreate a playthrough like this myself. Again thanks for the video!
Thank you! Lol yeah I probably should have been a bit more clear :P The charm 275 perk helps a ton, but also some of the other charm perks that boost battles influence gain. You can get 70 - 90 influence in a single battle, especially if you catch a solo party and defeat them by yourself. It all adds up pretty quickly. So this style can work for a complete WC too - you can repeat with each kingdom and just neuter them completely, start executing people and do a solo-clan WC :)
Lot of people mentioning the fresh prince reference but they’re all sleeping on the Lorraine Swanson throat clearing sound at 1:18. Well done, great video.
This has been one of my favorite ways to play a campaign; the traitor. Join early on, do everything in my power to make the lords like me and dislike the king, capturing lots of officers and then releasing them near the King's domains hoping the lords will respawn closer and attack his areas, destroying the economy of his fiefs by completely monopolizing things, before finally (using Diplomacy mod) forming a sub-faction, causing a civil war, and then seceding to start my own kingdom allied with the rebels. Takes awhile, usually by the time I get my kingdom rolling in this style my children are almost adults (at 2x growth speed), but it sets you up very nicely for the early-kingdom game. As long as you help the rebels keep the kingdom at bay for awhile. I usually go with the Khuzaits, Vlandians, or Southern Empire for these runs, they have a couplereally nice defensive positions to start a kingdom in
@@papalagoon3959 It is from Diplomacy mod (and a few others have similar). I don't remember what it is called in game, but the mod allows different "parties" to form within a kingdom, wanting to either depose the ruler or secede.
I'm new to the game on PS5 and have found your guides the most helpful. Thanks very much! This video was great and gave me a good laugh. What an amazing game this is!
I did this on accident once while playing a modded play through. I got sick of derthy handing my fiefs out like I wasn’t the one who lead all the sieges. So I gave myself unlimited influence banished all the lords from Vlandia took all his fiefs I think I left him with like 5-6 to his family clan then left the kingdom while keeping all my holdings. The only thing I should’ve done was f up his economy like you did by forcing tribute payment. I will implement this tactic next time. Loved the setup of the video ❤ btw
Judas spent more money and influence on these schemes than he'd ever get from those fiefs he gained. My man has some serious dedication to betrayal and revenge.
Thanks!! Oh good, I wasn't sure if this was the right move, but it seemed much better than a typical guide just showing the moves. Hopefully the strategy is still clear as this is 100% viable in a legit campaign :)
@@Strat-Guides yeah nah when you had did those Influence strategys to neuter the whole kingdom I genuinely was like wtf this guys on another level. Keep up the videos man👍
Thanks for watching! I wanted to release the tactics video this week, but by Wednesday I already knew I didn't have enough time so I pushed it back a week and worked to get this one out instead so you at least got something this week :) Next week is going to be the massive tactics update for 1.9
another good way is to use a mod that allows you to marry more than one person and stay as your clan no matter who that person is then marry all the heirs of the clans you can then only work as a merc for the time required never ask to be made a vassal and dont join any faction keep your army as small as possible using mainly family members and a small number of high tier troops to fight from a defensive stand point and while aiding allies in battle have death come to said allies if its in battle you wont be blamed and the clan that lost the member will lose a general and also a large amount of power within the kingdom i used this to become the most powerful kingdom in sturgia and was voted king by a vote of 99 to 1 by all the minor clans
you know, I had thought I had a really nice nest egg of 1mil denars I finally reached last night, and here you are casually saying "sued for peace for only 900k". CLEARLY if I thought blacksmithing was "broken" I was wrong, its necessary
Usually if I want to destroy some kingdoms from the inside,I would take as much fiefs with me as possible,then pull out all the garrison troops and milita for a battle I know I would lose.The fiefs and castles are left undefended,easy targets for anyone to take on.Or I could just steal garrison troops from my"fiefs",and done.Leave the kingdom,the lords hate you,but what can they do?You have the elites that will help you relinquish your hold before joining other factions as vassals
Derthert was my op. Once his army was super small so I defended them and kidnapped derthert, planed to sell him but he escaped. Tried to take him on 2 times after that lost my whole army both times. So on the third time after leaving a big battle I attacked him and won, initially I planned on taking out his whole fam cuz he’s my op. But I had him and his men where moving in fast so I killed him. Hooray
So at 3:04, The Betrayer is a tier 6 clan with Average wealth whilst spending tens of thousands of denars on military. At the same time, the faction leader has a party size that outmatch any army. 😂 If I was role-playing Derthert, I wouldn’ve been worried as hell and started colluding with other nations to take him down
Wow. what are these super strats. Dude i am still hunting looters 20 years in my game. This is insane. I would have never thought that bad policies are a good way to become rich? Can;t believe you pulled this off.
This is what they get for trusting a clan called "The Betrayers"
Lol maybe the word betray meant something else back then?? :)
@@Strat-Guides not so sure about that thing... if you watched how it went for them :D

- vote no (in favor of the owner clan) just to make sure you are maxed in reputation with them and that their influence is drained (they will not appear on the ballot when that happens)
- do it until their reputation with you reaches 100 and they drained their influence, propose to resettle the fief one more time, and vote with 20 influence so you would lose the least amount of rep
- a new vote will happen, and you will most likely appear on the ballot, again, vote for yourself, with the absolute minimum required influence
You can gaslight everyone into giving you their fiefs (except the king), with very little impact on reputation
I love the stupidity of this game's diplomacy system so much lol

The goose was hilarious
Haha It reminded me of that game where you play as a goose and run around causing trouble!
But the way you went all serious then played the music lol
That goose was stronger than a prision guard
Judas lived by and died by the knife. His legend will forever go on.
30 seconds in and you use the Benny Hill Theme - i know this is going to be good
Lol that goose was so hard to hit without using a crosshair! Thanks for watching :)
Im glad to see the passion for Dertbag hasnt extinguished
Hahaha it will never end :)
This is some awesome thinking outside the box. Great video
i love these story driven tutorials
This!... this!! Was what I needed to know!!!
love the choice of "judas" for this set of play lol very ironic i love it idk if it intentional or not but well done lol
Really enjoyed that story, especially like that sneaky reference to fresh prince :)
Haha thanks for watching :) I loved that show back in the day
The prince of Bel-Air reference was the funniest thing I've ever seen
Lol Thanks for watching :D I used to watch that show all the time when I was younger
You really improved in your storytelling. That was a nice Video :)
Thank you! It's not easy for me since I usually speak in numbers and databases :P
@@Strat-Guides You did a great job here :)
lol well done, this is epic, I am usually not into comedic gameplay but this is done so well
Best BANNERLORD vids. Cheers. 👍🏻👍🏻
Once again, you've shown me something new.
Once again, great things, horrible but great
Thanks for watching Tom! Where's Jerry btw? :D
Mum: What should we name our son?
Dad: Something trustworthy and honest!
Judas 18 years later:
Its like watching an episode of Nathan For You lol. Awesome work
Thank you!!
Judas spent more money and influence on these schemes than he'd ever get from those fiefs he gained. My man has some serious dedication to betrayal and revenge.
Lol it's a long term investment :) It will pay off after a few years I think!
Another great video. I love this format of video as well
Thanks!! Oh good, I wasn't sure if this was the right move, but it seemed much better than a typical guide just showing the moves. Hopefully the strategy is still clear as this is 100% viable in a legit campaign :)
@@Strat-Guides yeah nah when you had did those Influence strategys to neuter the whole kingdom I genuinely was like wtf this guys on another level. Keep up the videos man👍
Without Judas Jesus wouldn't have died.
I feel like he could have said "Et tu, Judas" on the cross lol
Peasents: So what kinda animals guards your treasure? Lions, tigers maybe crocodiles ?
Judas: canibalistic gooses
@@OliverMichael8 geese*
love the story you should be a novelist such great work really at least a screenwriter loved the fresh prince of Bellaire
Thanks, I appreciate that!
Wow needed this guide thank you for all you do brotha
Lol who are you going to Judas first?! :) Thanks for watching
I haven't played Bannerlord and I have no idea what you were doing the entire video. Keep it up :-P
Haha yeah this was a bit of an advanced technique :) Thanks for watching!
@@Strat-Guides Well thanks for making the video! I know and knew nothing about Bannerlord and it was still fun to watch haha.
Your videos are great keep them coming😁👍
Thanks for watching! I wanted to release the tactics video this week, but by Wednesday I already knew I didn't have enough time so I pushed it back a week and worked to get this one out instead so you at least got something this week :) Next week is going to be the massive tactics update for 1.9
Great vid my friend!
Thank you!
At 2:04 you had a good fight. Well done Smeagol 😂
my god, ur video always inspires me to play a little more "creatively" and I LOVE IT Lmao
Glad you enjoy it!
This is amazing! Well done :)
Thanks!!
This went quickly to 300+ Banner Knights....
Being weak against a mere goose started his villain arc
Very creative, well done!
Thanks for watching!
That was fucking wild. I'd feel filthy if I did that, but it was amazing to watch.
In all fairness, most of these kings are filthy animals and deserve it :D Thanks for watching!!
that KCD soundtrack is awesome! I wish bannerlord would have something like that too
I could listen to that soundtrack on loop for a year straight and not get tired of it. I can't recall any game that had it that good!
another good way is to use a mod that allows you to marry more than one person and stay as your clan no matter who that person is then marry all the heirs of the clans you can then only work as a merc for the time required never ask to be made a vassal and dont join any faction keep your army as small as possible using mainly family members and a small number of high tier troops to fight from a defensive stand point and while aiding allies in battle have death come to said allies if its in battle you wont be blamed and the clan that lost the member will lose a general and also a large amount of power within the kingdom i used this to become the most powerful kingdom in sturgia and was voted king by a vote of 99 to 1 by all the minor clans
So this is basically a summary of PLC's history.
Lol good analogy!
you know, I had thought I had a really nice nest egg of 1mil denars I finally reached last night, and here you are casually saying "sued for peace for only 900k".
CLEARLY if I thought blacksmithing was "broken" I was wrong, its necessary
This was amazing 🥺
once again the master of bannerlord (aka the shaft master) uploads
haha the shaft master, that's a good one :)
Usually if I want to destroy some kingdoms from the inside,I would take as much fiefs with me as possible,then pull out all the garrison troops and milita for a battle I know I would lose.The fiefs and castles are left undefended,easy targets for anyone to take on.Or I could just steal garrison troops from my"fiefs",and done.Leave the kingdom,the lords hate you,but what can they do?You have the elites that will help you relinquish your hold before joining other factions as vassals
Lol what a throw back with that throat clearing from mad tv...those were the days. Story time was good too!
Haha yeah that old lady was hilarious!! I always remember the buffet skit in Vegas with the same actor that plays Stewart :)
@@Strat-Guides Lol yup that was a good one, they don't make em like they used to.
Amazing. It's like a character straight out of Shakespeare.
Lol I tried to make this one nice and dramatic :) Fortunately the AI does a good job of that on it's own too!
@@Strat-Guides hahah it was definitely dramatic for sure 😂
This is better (or butter) than recent Game of Thrones series.
Lol love the butter reference - Derthert has no more butter after this whooping! Thanks Ivan :D
I laughed, I cried. Thanks man.
Lol thanks for watching :D
Absolutely glorious
Absolutely fantastic!!
nice reference there in the beginning
Lol thanks for watching!
@@Strat-Guides of course! I love your videos, they’re quite informative
My man used the Kingdom Come Deliverance music and thought we wouldn't notice
On the contrary, I used it because I wanted everyone to notice it! It's one of the best sound tracks ever, game or not :D
Derthert was my op. Once his army was super small so I defended them and kidnapped derthert, planed to sell him but he escaped. Tried to take him on 2 times after that lost my whole army both times. So on the third time after leaving a big battle I attacked him and won, initially I planned on taking out his whole fam cuz he’s my op. But I had him and his men where moving in fast so I killed him. Hooray
This guy just banned every vassal of a kingdome while starving to death, respect
This was amazing!
Thanks! I had fun making this one :)
The beginning reminds me of Monty pythons holy grail scene where the peasants are just stacking mud piles on top of each other lol
Hahaha that's true! I was actually thinking about trying to add in some Monty Python in my videos soon, I'll have to get some good clips :)
Bro ran when he saw you were strapped
lol
So at 3:04, The Betrayer is a tier 6 clan with Average wealth whilst spending tens of thousands of denars on military. At the same time, the faction leader has a party size that outmatch any army. 😂 If I was role-playing Derthert, I wouldn’ve been worried as hell and started colluding with other nations to take him down
Wow. what are these super strats. Dude i am still hunting looters 20 years in my game. This is insane. I would have never thought that bad policies are a good way to become rich? Can;t believe you pulled this off.
It's actually a lot easier than doing legit conquests lol all you need is some influence :)
Wonderful work
Thank you Francisco!
Fantastic video, thanks!
The snake emblem is perfection
