A sneaky thing you can do if you have enough money is buy all of the food in a town before you siege it. The game takes that into account and it causes them to starve much faster.
LOL
That’s evil af…I’m def going to do that 😂
Oddly enough I figured this out by myself and it proved useful. 180 vs 370. EZ
Better yet, stay neutral, buy all the food, wait until they starve, then sell it back for profit. Or, keep them starved until they rebel then take it without having to fight a war.
Word? Holy crap that's awesome, definitely going to be ransacking their traders before my next siege
Quick tip: dont make a kingdom right away. "KINGDOMS CAN ONLY DECLARE WAR ON KINGDOMS". If you get a town from rebellion, just sit on it and dont make a kingdom right away and watch as no one will ever declare war on you. But this doesnt let you become a mercenary anymore as mercenaries cant have fiefs. You can pledge as a vassal or just focus on building infrastructure and get rich first before making a kingdom to sue for peace with 2-3 other kingdoms while you focus on 1 specific weaker kingdom. Then you start snowballing this and go for world conquest.
This is the best tip I have seen yet!
How i can make Peace with other Kingdoms ? How IT works ?
an awesome tip!!! Great comment
Is becoming a vassal worth it? And will i be punished for leaving?
@@NeneTheToad you lost all
I have like 300 hours in this game and didn't know you could just put your siege equipment into reserves and deploy them all at once. Learning something new every day, trebuchet superiority here I come.
Exactly lmao. This actually changes a lot for me
With strong armour and a bow you can solo a town or castle, Just attack as soon as possible then get your army to retreat, The infantry comes out to attack you, draw them away from the castle and then ride quickly inside and close the gates, climb the nearest tower and kill any archers there, At the top will be a barrel of arrows for infinite refills and then start taking everyone down.
Attack before you even have a sige camp? So they can't use your own ladders to get in?
@@DIEGhostfish You have to build the camp but you don't need the ram or anything else, And they wont use the ladders, Sometimes a couple of infantry get stuck inside the castle and leave later and open the gates so keep an eye for a short time when you close yourself inside.
tnx to this..I will try this with my strongest 2H sword with my most expensive armors
Cheese
Seiges are easily one of my favorite things about this game. I just love the chaos and desperation of defending a castle with 300 troops against 900 or more.
The castle you say not to take was the first one I took white meca an epicrotea 4 factions went to war with me an I been defending since the last castle to stand is the one you tell us no to get😂
One important thing to note the daily activity is only done if your town is not currently doing a project. If you're doing a project the activity won't happen and you'll still lose loyalty if you're depending on the festival to keep your loyalty up
Holy smokes I never knew this. Great to know! I've always been pissed because the +3 loyalty from bread and circuses never worked.
@@prwillard2 same with me I only found out cause I was gone for a long time and I noticed a +2.5 loyalty. The ideal strategy is to build until you get negative building progress then spend a couple days building loyalty back then start building again
Oh my god my eyes have been opened i didn't know this
Just a PSA for everybody skip the ram, ballista, and catapult. Build 4 trebs and then let it rain on them until the walls are gone. Your troops will annihilate the garrison because they can just walk through crumbled walls vs being funneled through the gate or single file ladders
You don't want to damage the walls, otherwise your spending gold and time rebuilding them
@@jamiehughes5573 I'm okay with that. When I knock the walls down I can just go from city to city because I don't lose men in the seiges. They might take some back but I'm doing a lot more damage than I'm taking. When the AI seiges even against a low garrison they take a lot of casualties. Being in the battle yourself makes a big difference, when I auto resolve those same crushing victories I end up taking heavy casualties
@@jamiehughes5573 my go to for taking castles is assault right away with ladders, ride horse to ladder and be the first up the wall to hold it for your men. Same story, if your troops are good enough you'll lose almost none of them. That just never seems to work out with cities because the walls are taller and usually the garrison is a lot better so they can hold back my first wave
This is basically the only true thing said in this video or the comments, it’s all about trebs… and taking a fief is easy, keeping it is hard. End of story
It's still good to starve them a bit and 4 trebs. Less men and easy access to the defender's assets
My method.. work as a merc. Attack target and take it for the faction that hired me. Then quit that faction and attack the weakened target. This way i am behind lines of a faction that is hostile to the faction i attacked.
Fun tip, based on this particular siege scenario. Before attacking, you could have taken the time to build multiple trebuchets and not only destroy the enemies siege weapons, but their walls as well. This way less troops are killed on the ladders and from enemy siege fire, as well as making the battering ram redundant.
Exactly what I was about to comment. If you are not in a rush, you may as well just wither it down with the catapults for easy assault access.
This is great advice when taking the rebelling towns, as in the 2nd example. If you do this however I would suggest creating a regiment and manually getting the AI to follow you through the opening in the wall.... otherwise they do some wired things that often result in death.
Yes!
But beware enemy armies, should watch hundreds/thousand of them. If they are close to you while siege, just run for your life or they will got you. Idk in easy difficulties, but in high difficulty you can't just fight them with 100 soldiers.
The only downside would be that u have to rebuild the walls if you break them down
Sadly you have to rebuild the walls if you wreck them. Unsure if that is in the game or not at this stage.
I really wish you could make alliances in this game. Would help not having 4 factions declare war on you, by being friendly to some of them.
You can with the diplomacy mod. And then if you still want a achievements you can download that mid as well.
@@football37fb Thank you for the tip but I have the game on xbox. So not sure if you can mod that version.
@@donaldmartin8031 Dang man I don't know how to mod console. I forgot it just dropped there.
@@football37fb yea mods for consoles are rare. Microsoft doesn’t like mods because it generates no income. It’s really stupid.
@@michaelschauf3542 I can mod Skyrim and fallout on Xbox they just didn't release it it's not Microsoft's fault
You can actually take down the walls to make sieging easier if you let your trebuchet and catapults attack the walls after dealing with their catapults
tho, the town will be starved, i prefer not to
@@sultanhamzah8974 you can sell your food for profit afterwards it's a win win
Great video,well explained and made simple.....tip:at 4:50 ....insted of manualy add the money for the negotiation for "peace whit Vlandia" you can clck on the round "shake hands" icon on the top at that window....the game will then add the right sum of money for you.....also you dont need to have enough money....items in your inventory can be used as well....like horses,armor,weapons and so on.
Lol I love how Svana is fighting the people of the settlement in which she was born pretty funny and hilarious at the same time
Thank you so much, you just got a new subscriber and your sound is so smooth its like listening to a very good teacher. thanks for the tips.
I feel like the 'get a castle/town' stage could be alleviated if every mercenary clan start off with a castle, a town, and their assortment of villages somewhere nestled in among the rest. Not only does it display a bit of cultural/structural divide within the factions, it'd also give a player a springboard to take their own castle or town to build a kingdom from there, and easier access to the mercenary clan troops, while still allowing that mercenary clan to exist like they do now without any fiefs (plus you'd be able to wage war against them specifically without waging war against whichever faction they are working for )
Most of the time minor factions are at war directly and/or as mercenary of a kingdom. So once the player would be strong enough for a siege, the minor factions fiefs would've likely already been captured by established factions. Exacerbated by the fact that nearly all minor faction troop types (since the nerf to them circa version ~1.3) are very weak compared to their 'regular' counterparts.
If having trouble with the transition to your own kingdom, I can recommend a mod like 'Party AI Overhaul and Commands (rebuilt)' which among other things enables you to order your clan parties to follow you, making your first siege(s) much easier.
@@MrF00tie the problem early kingdom is not having enough vassals to help form an army because as soon as you declare a kingdom everyone and their mother is chomping at the bits to take you out
This is unfortunately one of the cut concepts that didn't survive development.
Notables like 'Gang Leaders' would level up and become their own mercenary forces/clans, this would create division within the factions and allow them to break up (like the Empire does before the game starts), with new leaders rising from towns/villages.
@@wuxiagamescentral poor bits, always getting chomped on.
@Wuxia Games Central not trying to be that guy, just an interesting tidbit I learned a few months ago, the phrase as actually champing at the bit. What it means idk, but it's an equestrian term.
Upload it three minutes ago this is the fastest video I’ve ever clicked of yours. keep up the good work, I’m loving the continent❤
Actually, you should make trebuchets and move them to reserve until they're all built. Then, deploy them all at once. They will destroy all the enemy siege weapons. Optionally, you can destroy the walls. This will make the settlement really easy to take.
also makes it really easy for a huge army to come by and take it back from you
@@daytimerocker3808 Yup. But it's safe it is a rebellious town.
Amazing video! Ive played when it was in early access, and never was able to take a castle.
Your video was amazing and so cinematic! Loved the siege! I have to reinstall and start grinding again, it looks amazing!
Thank you. You explained a lot and we're actually enjoyable to watch
As a solo clan, wait for a rebellion in a town, and go attack it. I took marunath with 115 troops against almost 400. It was close but I took it and since I haven't made my kingdom yet, I was able take the town and not have anyone wanting to war with me because they cant yet.
Just catch a rebel party, attack it and wipe them out, then attack the town. It gave me ample time as well to build up my engineering skill since no rebel party was big enough to stop me. I now have Seonon as well with barely tier 3 clan.
Way easier than being in a faction
When you go to make peace, In the trade screen, you can click the hand shake in the middle, and it'll give the amount of money needed to make them accept
Yessss I love that y’all are making videos on banner lord!!!!!!!
As I mentioned in a previous comment, I came across your channel a few weeks ago. I appreciate how you make things clear for players new to Bannerlord. Greetings from Canada.
Would love to see you delv into Old Realms... thats a fun one great video btw
Thanks this was really helpful!
Thank you for all the great videos!
More videos with tips please! Loved this one
So far,this is the only gaming youtuber,who just gets the point.Its amazing.He honestly just explains things,simply,without adding unnecessary fluff.What a God!
flesson19
@Johnson Howard He is a God,as long as there are those that believe he is.The existence of any God is purely based on whether or not people still hold belief in their existence.
@@jeffdroog If God's existence is objectively true, it's objectively true outside of what we believe and ourselves. AkA, me believing Biden isn't real doesn't change the objective reality of his existence. People aren't 'Gods', worship the creator not the creation
Your videos are great they help me out so much
Awesome video thank you 🙏
Loving the content Battle Brother!
I really appreciate these videos they are carrying my first run on banerlord and teaching me alot for my next run
I just bought MAB2 bannerlord on ps5, thank you for your tips it's really a big help since I don't know what to do since the info on tutorial was so vague 😂
He puts way more effort in to defeating hideouts then I do, usually just let my maxed lv men charge then duel the boss
Excellent guide !
Btw the red eyes bug can be overcomed if you safe game and then in performance options change the texture streaming budget to very high value and save it. After that exit the game and load it again . If It ever happens again do the same aproach. Ussually it happens when the settings get reset to default after error pops up.
There is plenty of good tips and thanks 🙏
I have always loved the why Tyal looks. When make a new kingdom I make it my capital.
Intrigued by this game. Looks quite gud. Cheers Danny.
I’m so happy he’s playing bannerlord now
You could easily take the town with 450 defenders, just go there with a ton of food and starve them, as its a rebellion you wont get anyone attacking, so you can sit there for weeks, ive done this and reduced their defenders to less than a 5th it was before
But you deny your men the glory of climbing the walls and putting those 450 defenders to the sword
I swear on realistic difficulty its borderline impossible you need to almost wait till a castle gets captured to even have a chance at taking one.
hahah realistic mode (early on) is complete horror.
most enjoyable way to do it though 😅
FYI this was recorded on:
- Friendly Troops Received Damage: Realistic
- Combat AI difficulty: Veteran (hardest)
- Player Received Damage reduced by 50% (easy, since i enjoy being a raid boss)
It has mainly to do with the tier troops you have. Often it can be more beneficial to auto resolve instead of watch the AI try to navigate the walls vs some cities.
@@ESOdanny this is good to know I tended to use mediocre units because I needed just a ton like 200 men and it was financially destroying me at the time.
Bide your time, level your clan working as a merc and as soon as you see a rebellion pop up in a city head there after ending your contract. Youll probably need around 150 high level troops. You could prob do it with less but have them all highly leveled. Fight with the rebels patrolling around the city then treb until the garrison is highly weakened or gone and the walls are crumbled. Then just march in there and take it and boom your an independant city state. I got lucky and ended up with pen canoc as a battanian character. Getting my ass kicked by a never ending imperial war now but it started great lol, I'm up to like 18 cities and 26 castles I think
And if you didn't know you can store seige equipment so it doesn't get shot by the defenders while you're building them. I like to have at least 3 before I start trebbing. The reason this works so great is you don't have to worry about anyone stopping you because you're only at war with a single rebel faction
Thanks!
Thankyou so much for the support Battle BROTHER!
After 70ish hours playing Bannerlord, I think Aserai castles and towns are the most difficult to take, but easier to defend.
I'm gonna conquer Aserai in my next playthrough. You can win by defending it with 250 troops against 800+ troops, in highest difficulty.
With all respect for you, my Bannerlord brother, most of US did 1000+ hours and more. Please keep on playing until you hit four digit number
@@DziaduSwierznowski I will brother, I've been playing more than 1000+ hrs in warband. It will be the same story with bannerlord, I just bought the game 3 weeks ago.
I've found that building the catapults and a siege tower or two is better than the ram. Sure the walls are a tight spot to fight in like the gate, but there are fewer places for archers to rain arrows on your men and for rocks to be thrown at them as well.
Hello ESO, fancy seeing you here
Also the kraken lord with depth gaurd units with his corsairs such a epic looking charge that would be
Thanks for your hard work.i really enjoy the game hopefully Santa will send me a PC I play it to cheers mate
It's so sad that there aren't any territories on the islands of the map, including the in-lake/in-sea islands. Those would be SO MUCH FUN to own! 🤩😭
excellent ....best teacher
Thank you!
It’s exactly the same mecanichs of total war and that’s why i love this game😍
if you have enough money you can make extra parties so you can attack with more men .. (let's say you have about 60 men in your party at top you make nogand a party + 60 is 120 + every family member plus spouse of your brother.. and Varec + Alda + companions.. give very fast 200+ army..)!
14:48 LOOL. Nice one, m8.
hey eso i never expected you to play this game its super underrated
dam this game is so fucking good and fun, i discover yesterday your channel, subscribe instant, your content is really good and help me .. tks for speak that slowly and crealy english ✌🏾
😎😎great vid
0:12 absolutely based
Really underrated channel u should play some popular games u with get rich
9:08 No need to reserve rams and siege towers, they don't get attacked by defender siege engines.
I love how he does the voices, lel. Makes the video for me
I just got my first town, it was a rebellion town so I just kept murdering all the armies coming in and out of it, as well as executing the lord's, and starved them out. Eventually after 30 days of seige I stopped to go get food and all the defenders left, I walked through and took my pick.
Was just watching Skyrim but ig I’m here now 😂
hey man im really enjoying your videos on bannerlord do you think you'll do a modded play through
You make my life better by making great videos, let me repay you with making your life better:
You can save with F5
I got my first castle when I had around 250 troops and made sure it was one that was against a losing kingdom and that was one that had just been liberated (battania is a good one)
Same I take Aster Castle in Battania while working with Vlandians making 100K in the process but you only need like 100 troops 250 is pretty overkill
Thanks for sharing all the loyalty content so useful battle brother I was wondering how to help that in my play through
i think the better thing is bulit 4 trebuchets and hide them, then putting them all at once while preparing the siege equpipments while they destroy their catapults cause they are op af
Are you gonna put up your live today's live stream. I didn't have a chance to catch it. I dnt see it.
The northern empire to the south really threw me off there for a sec.
hi,i hope u could answer this.I was battling and bc my troops were outnumbered,i had to leave some of them in the battle,to save the main character,kind of a retreat ("try to get away "option).However,since then,the main character lost daring trait and the influence always stays zero.Even why i made peace to any kingdom and have a castle and win battles,still influence is zero.What should i do to raise influence?
14:51 my man just tripped
which order do you give to your mens to make them break the main door, climb the walls, and shoot arrows, at the same time?
Lets just honor that he has 50 party speed and 30 party seeing distance
30 speed would've been so much better )
I was waiting with my wife if you know what I mean, and ragnvad and the boys just gave me 2 castles across the map while I wasn't even actually playing.
You could aways buy a rebel city's entire food supply then then the defenders numbers will go down as you seige them for a couple days
Does anyone got sick by the Istiana Plan and the redundant searching for cospirationist caravan or hideouts? Most of the time you have to do that in the middle of a war, in the opposite part of the kingdom... I finally decided to try to abandon the kingdom I choose for Arzagos, and it seems I failed the main quest. Do anyone knows if I can still create a new kingdom or is it better to load the old savegames and continue to the main quest?
I’m new to this game and took a village last night so my question is, is it easier to take a load of villages around the castle or just go straight for the castle?
I went through all the effort of reducing the defenders with the seige and just as the last archer dies and im moving to lead the assault they stop rebelling and go back to being sturgian not a war I was ready for
during a siege i stay on the horse, jump over the guys who have just knocked down the main gate, and teh defenders, and cause chaos in the backfield. Works a treat
do you kno whow to move companions to cav or archers. i know you can put one as captain but what if you want them all to be away from battles
So I just started the the game and building a relation with the southern empire. So when I got enough man I should declare war to the southern empire and take on of their castles?
How do you get the gold to keep a large army without joining a faction or having land? Just merc and grind?
How do you have your flag show up on the battlefield? I've been having troubles trying to get mine to show.
You can also just defend the castle to the point where they pay you to declare peace (always defend castles with auto resolve)
how for send your army to use war machines ?? i had deployed on the field but they ddidn't use
Hey guys. I’m trying to find the correct Twitch channel for ESO. The one in the comments is over a year old with nothing new posted to it. Is there another one and if so (no offence) it may need to be added. Also thanks 🙏 for another insightful video. These guilds really help out us newbies and players that haven’t played since the betas 👍
i have never got the enemy has fallen back to the keep for a last defence in bannerlord i thing due to me only ever attacking with such numbers that i dont leave any able to get there
How can you check the kingdom territory by color like that? example minute 1:05
damn in used to watch you about fallout new vegas
the fact his character is named ragnar such as mines and im looking at this three months late 😂
What I am trying to do is getting my army to be very powerful so I can kill the king I am following (he picked a fight with 4 kingdoms at once and was losing bad) so any tips no how to over throw your own king.
Tyal was originally Svana family’s fief
ESO you're very smart if I have 200 men in the game only lets me put 80 of them on the battlefield how do I put all of them on battlefield???
The best siege method is slow sieges... build 4 trebs, move em to reserve, build 2 SIEGE TOWERS, wait until garrison died, when militia alone stands put trebs to fire ( build speed depends on how many troops are actively defending it ) and when all defenders siege equip are destroyed wait and keep bombarding the town so walls get weaker... here you have 2 options: A: full archers ( either fians or palatine guarda ) or B: full infantry (either imperial or sturgian )
W option A you will weaken their walls BUT DO NOT DESTROY THEM, keep em w as low hp as possible, weak walls have no cover, which means defenders get exposed to archer fire, then you must set MANUALLY archer groups in front of the town w good angle and distance from tje walls... after you do this choose 1 of the 2 siege towers and climb it yourself ( go w a 2 handed long polearm, preferably the rhomphaia and a big shield ) open the bridge between tower and wall and FALL BACK to the ladders, some infantry will follow you and your archers will shot em down, then go up and bait em till no one else is there, go down the siege tower and repeat on the other side, when the walls are free select everyone and put sergeants on command and you should win w almost if not 0 casualties...
Now option B for gigachads you do not build siege towers, build the battering ram and 4 trebs but this time destroy the walls and siege equip from defenders. After doing this assault and when you start the battle select all your troops, order them to follow you and go to one of the breached walls, take on account infantry divides itself on 3 groups so bringing all your troops to 1 sector most of the time gives you victory there, after that clear the gates and then the other sector and boom. Done.
This is what 1k hs of bannerlord campaigns look like.
Glory to the Empire!
What do I do about the huge army that surrounds me when I attempt to siege it?
The easiest way to take a city without joining anyone or being hostile with another faction. Do merchant guard and poacher missions at different cities to build your reputation and gather troops. Then, wait for a city to rebel, then swoop in and claim it before a faction can. Free city no hostile relations
You can just chill there durring the seige and starve them out until there are barley any defenders at all
Man, these purple clan guys are quite well equiped, Ive captured many castles yet they get me eventually with a 100 kill dif and my other army chill to take random castles instead of freeing me 😂, so done, their leaser is dead now, i showed him mercy 2 times, this is it
How do you defend when the rebels SALLY out with 300 militia, and you are only 130 troop clan tier 3? I never get to the siege because they sally and push my tier 4 archers with 200 infantry
