Debatable
>Shit tier archer armor
>Shit infantry
Just swarm them with infantry with shields.

If youre not manly enough to join the Nords you might as well uninstall the game.

Picked up Viking Conquest: Reforged during the Steam sale. Other than some weird fucking things like needing to bribe town leaders to hire I'm having fun.

>win another tournament
>"A laurel wreath has been placed upon your head"

JUST

Rhodoks for life. Only weak-legged ninnies need a horse to prevail in combat.

Vaegir and Khergit archers use better bows, armor and melee weapons. Their archers are on par with Rhodoks in terms of battlefield effectiveness.

>best archery units
>not having Rhodok Sharpshooters

get this shit out of here

Swadians. Once you have spent two or three conflicts developing your party, you're suddenly steamrolling everyone with 50 knights. Nothing survives a Swadian charge.

Khanate lancers are more effective as cavalry than mamlukes. Mamlukes are better at foot combat. If you're talking about how good a cavalry unit is over all, Swadians > Vaegir > Khanate > Sarranid

>all these plebs refusing to say swadia

Swadian knight is OP in its own right but the Vaegirs are the most powerful faction. Their combined arms are nuts.

Vaegir is the master race.

Shame their territory is filled with FUCKING SEA RAIDERS.

Vagerids. Rhodoks plebs need to fuck off

THAT'S A NICE HEAD YOU HAVE ON YOUR SHOULDERS

It's almost harvesting season.

KILL ALL SWADIANS HAIL KING RAGNAR

Google told me they were professional slave soldiers. How bout (you)?

Rhodoks
>tfw defending a castle or a hill

Kingdom of Nords under the rule of King selfish fief.

I always of a boat load of rhodok sergeants on stand by. They're so easy to get and great for filling armies out.

Based Swadia

If you aren't supplementing with disposable infantry and archers you're going to have a bad time the first real fight you get into with only swad knights.

I like to mix and match my factions, especially those that tend to not enter conflict:

>Nord infantry
>Rhodok crossbowmen

Literally perfect

>people play vanilla warband
>people don't play the weeb mod, the GoT mod, or the Star Wars mod

wtf

Same here but I use vaegir archers instead of rhodok crossbowmen. If the crossbowmen would always have shields I would use them but I prefer the bardiche and sword/shield combo the vaegir archers get.

>>best archery units
What
The best bowmen are Vaegir and the best Xbowmen are the Rhodoks

Those are all overhaul mods.

Their ranged is shit with every unit before last two tiers having fucking THROWING weapons.

> throw a couple of javelins
> become a meter unit that's worth is now minus 1 tier

Their archers are also OK. Better than nords and khirgits, around the same as season sharpshooter, not sure how they rank against virgirs, below rhodocks.

Marmalukes are indeed around a 0.5 tier below swadians. Melee is pretty ordinary.

Fair enough, I tend to veer away from Vaegirs though since that one companion said they are undisciplined.

Its fluff. The sharpshooters are WAY more affordable than marksman and better at sieges. The DPS of veigar marksman is just so high on open field battles that I cant help but use them. They demolish the other archer units.

Sorry, they demolish other archer units on open field battles is what I meant.

Ahh okay, I'll give em a go next time round.

BIG NORD COCK

HIDE YOUR WOMEN AND CASTLES

I AWAKE

WHAT YEAR IS IT? IS BANNERLORD OUT YET?

I think I fucked up my stating by being well rounded.

Is it true the only way to be emperor is through Charisma?

I sincerely fucking hate Tournaments in Viking Conquest

99% of the time you're given a spear, i.e. the shittest fucking melee weapon in the game while the opposing team gets swords and axes every fucking time. Native M&B wasn't this fucking one sided.

and strength

I've played every faction and the rhodok shield-on-back guys are by far the easiest and best to use.

The nord huscarls are best on paper, but in practice they're a pain in the ass to lead and they get fucked royally by rhodoks.

It's a pain in the arse alright, plus leveling goidelics takes forever.

But I already mainly stack strength and charisma.

>nord cock
>circumcised

Try again juden.

Well then keep doing what you're doing, it'll take a while if you want to be grand king of Calradia.

>Not having the skin pulled back, ready to penetrate at all times

Let's have a small survey here.

That dick isn't circumcised

Khergits, let me sing a song of our people.

I don't think I can this game anyway, Swadia has entered immortality.

>99% of the time you're given a spear, i.e. the shittest fucking melee weapon in the game
git gud
VC tournies are better than native ones anyway since they don't have horses and no bows/crossbows

>using Nords against cav.

I'd argue that Viking Conquest is one of the hardest games to git gud at.

I know these are turks but whenever I see khanate post I think of this image.

>Rhodoks
>Cavalry
Pick one

...

there's harder mods, not to mention vanilla bots are shit in melee in comparison to brainybots

Rhodoks don't use calvary and when they do, its light cavalry.

>not being able to chase down Nord armies by the time you get a fief
Maybe entrusting you with a vassalage was a mistake.

have you ever played a multiplayer shieldbattle and had 400 axes thrown at you?

it's pretty scary

>this kills the Swadian

>Tournaments in 1257 AD
Until someone gets unhorsed its never ending matches.

I don't know why, but looking at those base stats makes me feel really comfy.

perfect response

Nords build nothing but infantry get some vets and some huscarl and you can win 50 to 300 battles easy

>People forgetting how quickly you can train Mamlukes and how cheap they are
>Forgetting those morningstars
>All those slaves
>All those broken shields

Did they change 1257 back to not having an absurdly large map? I liked the big map the old versions had, but they stretched it too far.

native setting is the most comfy
i usually dismount them first then infantry 1v1

Rhodok Sergeants, Sarranid Mamlukes, Khergit horse archers. Trifecta of budget army.

What said.Various terms were utilized by the Muslims to define their slave-warriors - "Abid/abd" usually referred to their black african slave-warriors while Mameluke or Ghulam or Askari (just means a personal retinue/bodyguard. Could be freemen in there but would likely also be slaves) would refer to slave-warriors recruited among the Greeks/Armenians/Turks/slavs/Caucasians, being white or for some Turks asiatic.


Though complicatingly Slave-warriors were often(always? At least for white and Turkic/asian ones) freed by the time they really started their service and finished training.

The White/asian slave-warriors would have fought almost entirely from horseback with exception for the Janissary corps of slave-warriors, while the Abid black slave warriors were usually infantry.


There were various slave-warrior dynasties but the famous ones were the Mamluks of Egypt who rebelled against the Ayyubids and seized control of Egypt for a few centuries.

Vanilla tournaments were shit. Get shoved a bow into your hands when you have piss for archery skill.

Speaking of Blacksmiths Curaw is one of my main Iron stops when on a trade route.

Give me one reason to ever help Rhocucks who just hide in their fucking castles in the fucking hills and get destroyed when they fight in the plains.

>Vanilla tournaments were shit. Get shoved a bow into your hands when you have piss for archery skill.

Trick is to pick up the next best weapon from the first person to fall.

you shouldn't have to do that in the first place
having a bow, crossbow, horses, and javelins in a tournament with wooden weapons is pretty stupid anyway

You don't have to siege the Rhodocks if you're one of them.

swadian knights has been my go to for years

you're talking about the star wars mod for the OG mount and blade right? I felt that a lot of good assets were there, but the overworld was crappy and the battle maps were way to small/smaey to keep intrest

based

What gets me is that in real life a whack from a wooden sword to the head has a moderate chance of killing a man; yet it's always unconscious.

>that cock
>circumcised
Found the Jew.

Speaking of Viking Conquest, why is it so hard to level troops? Most of my army is just Mercenaries because actual soldiers take 10 years to upgrade.

i'm not really bothered by that, i think there should be a difference between steel blunt and wooden blunt though
where steel blunt has a chance of killing but wooden blunt doesn't

The GoT mod is just full of unecessary bullshit, Gekokujo is fun shit though. Oda is love, Oda if life.

I agree

I have some questions about Nopoleonic wars

Aside for picking different uniforms stat wise some clases are better? I know russian partizani and sailors to be melee monsters

cool europe you got there

yes
>line infantry are good with muskets and polearms, bad with anything else
>light infantry are better than line infantry at muskets but worse at polearms, bad with anything else
>riflemen are the best at muskets but mediocre with polearms, bad with anything else
>officers and cavalry are the best at 1h weapons, bad with everything else
stat wise sailors/partisans aren't that good but they have body armor = to cuirassers and sailors can spawn with a musketoon

woops should specify sailors only have high body armor, partisans are the same as normal troops

Nords

are sailors related to the boats and sailing in viking conquest or are they just another tree of soldier

I keep trying to get into this game but in all honesty the stiff animations, barebones sound and graphics are making it difficult.

Thanks for the info

if you want more detailed info then get morgh's and open NW

just bought the game. any mods I should use 1st time through?
