Love this game.
I helped the nords capture half the continent, held dozens of lands and was probably the richest person in the realm. Then I threw it all away, convinced the king to release me from my oaths and gathered a 100 man mounted force to terrorise the northern steppes and deserts as a mercenary lord. Overall a good experience, looking to cheekily establish my own kingdom in the north and slowly encroach on the other nations once I have enough right to rule. The long con.
Just sell some slave bro. Make enterprises.
>he doesnt like swadia
Pillaging villages makes you honour rating plummet, meaning that if you are part of a kingdom theyll be far les inclined to gift you with lands or favours. Try winning tournaments for easy cadh while setting up businesses and land holding in all cities friendly to you.
>sell slaves
i cant,didnt level up my prisoner management
i also never seem to find slavers to sell them to
T b h join with swadia sometimes makes the game hard mode since everyone (or harlaus) declares war on swadia. Swadia in my game mostly get ass raped by Nords, Rhodoks, or sometimes Vaegirs
oh,i dont need that many lands tho
i already own 2 towns
Just take a look in taverns at each city you travel to. Also there are ship slaver dudes that will pay a flat price for each prisoner but its nowhere near as efficient. Invest in prisoner managment dawg its a key skill.
yeah,maiby,but the nords are weak agains knights and the vaegirs are practically wiped out in my current game
but fuck the rhodoks
Always rhodoks getting the dick in my campaign. They always fight with swadia and the sand niggers and just end up.losing horribly. Nords just comes down to pick up the pieces and conquer everything while russia and mongolia ass rapes each other
next playthrough i be a slaver
for now,i m just an asshole that fills his walls with archers and only uses knights in the field
Be ambitious user. If your nation is at war try capture a castle or town on your own and you king will be obliged to give it to you provided your influence is high witg him and other lords and you honour isnt in the gutter either. Cities make you fuckloads of money too but keep in mind that you have to keep their attached towns safe and you cant just turtle behind the walls
yeah,but how am i supposed to keep the villages safe?
whenever one of my fiefs gets attacked i cant defend it because i m too far away
Dont underestimate units of archers, volleys from high tier archers will shred armies in the field, invest in rhodoks for those and mix in Nord melee units to protect them
You don't.
Get a castle then a town.
Dont spread urself too thin, its better to protect one city with a few towns and a castle close by rather than running from province to province fighting off people, especially if youre at war on multiple fronts. If however you are a ruler of a kimgdom then you can gift towns to vassals and they will protect them for you (hopefully)
Ranged units dont really start killing before the enemy is in melee and they stopp blocking
Is Floris mod pack still the best module to use?
Formations dawg, let the AI come to you, shred them, engage with melee units then sweep flanks with cavalry.
i ve got 2 towns,why would i want a castle?
yeah,but i cant get rhodoks cause we re at war with them,i am stacking up on nords tho
yeah,i currently lead praven and reyvadin,which are kinda far
Oh. I didn't read that.
Castles are an easy way to stack garrisons in areas, they wont be taken easily if you invest in troops to hold them.
The more mounted units you have in an army the faster your map speed as well, plus the map movement ability means that you'll be able to bounce between your settlements rather fast. Keep your main force in Praven and have a "Response Team" to deal with raids on Reyvadin.
oh,thanks for the advice
quick question
if i want to improve the wealth of a town or village what do i do?
>the nords are weak against knights
>basically every faction except them have kngihts
I tried to be a Nord for my first playthrough only to get plowed by calvary
Do you think Bannerlord will be released this year?
>basically every faction except them have kngihts
all except the rhodoks
mountain niggers are not too diffrent from sea niggers
Don't let it get attacked. The wealth of a town slowly goes up when caravans/villagers visit it, and villages you can build mills in for a boost
...
Keep it safe over time, they'll bring up the overall prosperity of the whole province too.
>mfw its probably gonna be 30+ euros
It better, i don't think I can make it another year
what do feasts even do anyways?
whenever i ”join” one i get nothing
the only one that seems to be using feasts to his advantage is harlus,other than that what other pourpose do they have?
Hobnob with nobles I guess, arrange marriages and get missions. Also if a nation is cranking a feast then there may be no one protecting those juicy border towns..
