What happens if you can only use Archers in Bannerlord?

- That's correct, today we look at an archers only challenge in Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord. THe archer only challenge in bannerlord is nothing new, but I thought I'd give it a go owing to my unique skill as an archer. Join me as I attempt to conquer calradia with nought but my bow and a cheeky bit of tenacity. Oh, and thousands of arrows that blot out the skies. Mildly unfair for the opponent.

So what if you can't hire any troops and are forced to become a pacifist in Bannerlord? - ua-cam.com/video/4V3MWdcViXs/v-deo.html
So you are playing just how I always play.
"Historically speaking, one thing you don't want to bring to a cavalry engagement is Archers"
Says the Englishman...
Patay tho...
There are a few conditions for it to work though.
There was the caveat of the field being extremely muddy.
Agincourt merely proved that tactics are important
While Agincourt was a thing, it's because French noblemen were so arrogant and undisciplined. But, once they got motivated (thanks to a certain peasant girl), you got something like Battle of Patay.
F4 tells your archers to hold fire/open fire. F2, then F3 will put your archers in loose formation, allowing them to fire more accurately. You can click and drag when ordering your troops or just look a certain way and press F7 to make them face a certain direction.
i was never sure between loose vs line bc in line fits more of a wave than random shots so i believe in more structured battles the pure spam is more effective
but i always try to get into loose if there cavalry and i dont have enough front line, or scatter in woods
Additionally, stay on your horse and run around behind the enemy troops to get their attention on you. Don't engage, just keep their attention. Then your archers can mow them down easily.
Strat Gaming has tested this and claims that Line is slightly better than loose formation for archers.
Thanks
@JohnDabs420 depends on if you actually spread your line out which this guy doesn't know how to do
this is such a pleasant surprise, would love to see more bannerlord

@@imspuduswhat
I know right I got completely jump scared by seeing bannerlord 😂
Agreed
@@valtontony826 Its a Joke I Think
Another tip! When attacking bandit hideouts, for some reason the default setting is for ranged troops to hold fire. You need to manually activate “fire at will”
Its so that you can initiate at your own discretion, instead of the fight immediately starting whenever the map loads.
oh damn and i thought it was scripted for them not to shoot lmao... I lost so many hideout quests because of this. I feel pretty stupid now XD thanks for the tip
@@unhommequicourtyeah it’s because raiding a hideout is supposed to a stealthy night raid hence why all the troops are passive at the start
another tip, learn to play the game before doing challenges
Laith uploading bannerlord? Nice, can't wait to see the video!
Small tidbit but when you take archers into a hideout, just tell them to fire at will and they''l use their bows.
Laith, buy some horses! They let you travel faster on the map and increase your carry capacity
Also the Battanian archers are a noble troop, so you can only recruit them from villages 'connected' to a castle
Wait wtf are noble troops and which other units are noble
Is the imperial vigman recruits noble ?
@@Whiskers4169 Noble troops are special troop lines, one for each culture, that you can't just recruit from towns.
Vlandian squires, Battanian Highborn youth, Sturgian Otroki, Khuzait Noble's Son, Aserai Youth and, yes, Imperial Vigman recruits are all the first tier for noble troops in each culture;
and they progress to Bannerknights, Fian Champions, Druzhinnik Champions, Khan's Guard, Vanguard Faris, and Elite Cataphract, respectively.
They are consistently the best troops you can get for their respective tier, though Khan's Guard did get beat by the Khuzait Heavy Horse Archer and Mamluke Heavy Cavalry a while back, embarrassingly.
When you join a faction for good, your King/Khan/Sultan/Emperor/whatever will give you a few of the high tier noble troops of their culture for free.
@@johnfraire6931 bro tysm i have like 400 hours and didnt know what noble troops were
Huh, I never realized that’s how you got them. I always assumed it was tied to prosperity or they just appeared in random villages.
you can use other weapons in the tournaments, laith. it wouldn't break the challenge, since the game forces you to use things that arent a bow and arrow. additionally, you should do tournaments outside of battania, as battanian tournaments dont usually involve archery. go to the far right of the map, the steppe people (forgot the name) use bows usually.
Khuzait
@@timothyh thanks. i was gonna say khergit, but i am pretty sure the khergits are from Warband.
@@th3w1zard248 except their finals and often semifinals is using a glaive. The 1v1 is tournaments is never bows
I Love Khuzait ❤️
Also I guess the tournaments are non-lethal games. So not technically kills without archery
27:53 Last words before predicted death.
Wonderful video Laith! A little tip: If you hold ALT while in a battle, the game will highlight weapons/arrows in the ground that you can pick up
I am glad that Laith is starting to play bannerlord
You can make friendly troops use bows in hideouts. As it is sneaky mission theri default setting is not to fire, you have to use "fire at will". I believe it is F4, F3 or something after selecting the group in question.
Legolas' distant cousin, Megabloksas and his army of rabid fishermen
Short answer: You win.
Longer answer: You put a lot of pointy bits into enemies to win.
Fun fact: The reason the middle finger is an insult dates back to medieval times around 1400. English longbow men were so deadly, that if they were captured, their middle finger was chopped off. The middle finger is extremely important for archery because it bears the brunt of the string's force when drawn back. When the English longbow men learned what the French were doing, they started taunting them with their middle finger.
I think it was originally the index and middle both, not sure when it changed to just the middle finger.
Stoked for the Mongolian horse archer only sequel
Once you get to a party size of 20 you get the deployment overview before the battle, in that you can set control groups to specific unit types.
I would highly recommend that you create another archer group and then use the slider to split your archers 50/50 and set them up with some distance between eachother to create a crossfire which works wonders against those pesky shielded units and lets one continue shooting if the other gets engaged by cavalry (though batanian fians shred through anything that gets into melee with them)
when in a hideout your units will automatically hold arrows so you gotta tell them to not do that
Love how his thumbnail is him dominating a battle with the kill counter on the side, and I see the video and it now makes it look like that’s the amount of casualties HE’S taken.
This is a similar challenge done by Halcyion: Be at war with every faction (not minor) and the goal is take over a castle or defeat a warband of 100+. To be at war with every faction proceed to attack their own villagers, you do not need to kill all of them.
"Our arrows will block out the sun."
I am enthralled by the 5,000 IQ play of putting archers into a shield wall, allowing only a fourth of them loose even a single arrow throughout the engagement
If you tell them to engage your archers will try to keep a max distance while firing arrows. It helps when you have people trying to rush your archers
When doing a camp with arches they start with “hold fire” but you can press a button in the control menu to make them fire at will
Keep playing this game and you’ll love it Laith, you’ll LOVE it
for hideouts they are automatically set to hold fire so you have to set it to fire at will.
As a 2x battania high king, I learned every battania village that has the name of its castle has archers. I love me my fain’s
Don't worry Laith, my aim isn't better sometimes and im horrible on horseback. Also about tournaments... I rarely do them as your allies die in one hit and then you have to fight 5 people at once which is extremely annoying. Best race for you right now would be Khuzaits for the horse archers so you can swarm the enemy like a certain Mongol warlord 🐴
Skill issue
I suck at combat and still do tourneys
And I win most of the time
Theres some tactics if u want
In multi team battle u just need to last longer than others like top 2 teams usually
So as long as u run and let the other teams die first ur good there
Anything 2v2 where theres a ranged and a sword and board the enemy usually charges and leaves range behind just gang up on the charger with ur other dude either move up with ur mate or wait until the courage gets to u two at the back
Also bonus is jumping on horse back once riders are down to run
Now the gang up tactics is usually good even in 4v4s etc
Stay with a guy and try and get extra and grab horse if u start losing and try drive boys might take a while but usually doable
Also any good companions u got sometimes go into tournaments and will get the prize for u so u loose bets but win the prize if one of them win
Anything sword and board 1v1 I focus shield basing to get damage
And anything with throwing here the enemy focuses using them for some reason so dodge fairly easy throw a couple as they close distance and then sword and board tactics from before u can usually kill with body shots as they approach after u dodge their ammo
Now I'm worse once we start getting to culture that use more 2 handers etc
But I find u can run away and start a swing then spin ur aim back and hit them as u flee this I use as I'm out numbered other wise gang up tactic as usual
Now horse heavy can be worse but try and couch lance people usually here if u deal with archers u can win there
If u get dismantled and theres sno other horses a few areana have rocks tree etc to hide behind and use to break a horse charge
But now im forgetting what I've said so far but to summarise
Gang up at all times and fuck range unless ur decent with it
And run and try and last in multi team fights
Jump on free horses
Good luck with these strats even tho I really suck I win more than loose and they are broken as fuck for money and rep and even influence especially if u take certain perks like rogue deep pockets for more betting or the first charm perk that give 3 extra renown and I think theres a one handed perk that can also double renown gain but dint quote me on that
But yeah frankly I find tourneys almost broken for me I can get clan timers very easy especially early
Any good luck and hope this helps a bit
Not sure if you already know since this video was a bit ago, but you can teleport to people by clicking On them In that screen thingy where you choose what you want to do in the city, top right corner
Very cool, glad to see some banner lord on the channel.
Lord Laithgorn returns to Bannerlord
F4 will make your archers toggle between holding fire and opening fire, F2 + F3 will put them in loose formation making cav charges less effective while also letting more archers shoot, F1 + F4 will make your archers stay at range to the best of their ability.
"He's got a shield"
Random person passing by: That's what she said
“He’s probably in Tripoli right about now”
About cracked a rib.
Hey... You do know you can hold the ALT key to highlight stuff on the ground right?
This is Day 42 of me asking you to do a mega campaign from ck3 to hoi4. (Wait for the Vic 3 to hoi4 converter)
Literally me on my first bannerlord play through lol I love L'aigle a lil too much so I decided to do medieval L'aigle
I like how you picked a elf from the Lord of the rings because elves consist of only archers
Always nice to know Laith straight up sold a person at 13 😂😂😂
He won’t accept you as a mercenary because you declared war on a kingdom independently and are still currently at war with them
In Hideouts Troops Are by Default Holding Fire. You gotta tell them to Fire at will.
Archers only is basically how I start the campaign
Bro should have named him leggrowless
0:43 don’t worry Aragorn also forgot Legolas’s last name
One tip don’t sell your loot in the villages as it is discounted so sell your loot in the towns
I have alot of settlements and castles with about 100 in each garrison. I noticed that the buildings inside say "never" now for days tp complete. Anyone know why???
I’d love to see this contined
If you allow your troops to use swords since they are still technically archers, then you can use the same Logic in the arenas and use swords and shields since you are also still technically an Archer.
Loose formation is usually better for archers, regardless of the enemy
You can buy mounts for you foot soldier to increase your party speed. Also when you do attack a hideout by default your troops are on "Hold Fire" press F4 so that they will fire at will :D
I'm doing the same thing currently but Heavy Cav only. Currently going broke every few days if I don't get multiple large battles.
17:40 HES GOT A SHIELD killed me
My own face kinda looks like the Battanian default character.
Or at least it did before I lost some weight.
"There has to be a way to teleport straight to who you want to talk to" *The tutorial that taught you how to use the visit option: "Am i a joke to you?"
You have to tell them to open fire at the hideouts
My only question with this series is do the horse archers from the khuzait count?
Laith, I be drunk but you're still a legend. Keep doin waht you're doin homie :)
During hideout missions archers are set to hold fire by default
F4 commands your archers either to hold fire or fire at will. In hideouts their default is to hold fire, so pressing F4 will command them to fire.😊
Use archer cav, if the enemy gets close just run back and set up your lines.
Some tips loose formation is best fo archers noble troops are only available in vilages bound to castles
Yooo I wasn't expecting Bannerlord here but that surprise is real pleasant
Just by the way, in bandit hideouts you have to tell your archers to shoot, or they won't
Why dose everyone one ignore the vlandian sharpshooters
They shred through horse archers and armor a lot better because well they use crossbows that’s their entire point
You dont need to walk around in cities to talk to them. Just click on their pictures and you’ll be able to talk to the notables
MORE BANNERLORD PLEASE
Lezgoooo, we need to know the legend of Largowless B) Such a good video, i hope we'll se him back soon
The plural of 'fian' (Gaelic, both Scottish and Irish, for "warrior"/"champion") is 'fianna'
Battanian Archers are only found on settlements bound to castles, not to cities
"Can't have anything not felled with a bow" is gonna be a pretty hard thing considering once archers run out of arrows they pull out their 2h
08:29 “Why is everyone shooting at me?”
I thought you said you had a shortage of arrows? They are delivering some to you …
The madlad strikes again
30:33 I did not expect a camel
That's a hilarious Legolas
its much easier to take over a city as part of a faction, then declare independence later
12:53 your not selling them into slavery. your ransoming them back to their families.
Bruh fought with catalog and didn't even notice him
Caladog?
You really said " i hope they're good" bro they are future fian champions hahahahaha
you end up with fian champions. is the answer to the question.
i lit just started playing bannerlord so this is a cool vid
split your archers into 2 groups so you can hit them from both sides. then kite them using "Advance"
More bannerlord, love it man!
Hit f4 to toggle free fire in hideoutes and also archers shoot better in loose formation
You make money not by fighting in the tournament grounds, its by killing bandits and selling their shit, grabbing wood and iron, melting it down, lvl up smith for coal making, then make two-handed swords, smelt two-handed swords to gain more parts once you get to tier two your swords are worth close to a grand each if you make the right designs. Once you get to top tier its worth over 10 grand for each sword.
first time seeing you play bannerlord
In all of my campaigns I just spam getting fian champions 💀
bro i just started playing it again
haha raiding a hideout they are always hold fire but you can press F4 to let them fire. it was so funny to see you struggle haha
This vid is just what i was wondering if it would work out in game xD
Now i don't need to waste hours myself to know the answer :D
Do more of this plz
Next time, Laith, u better installs some mod that can increase the fun of this game, like “the land of Sika”
I have a long campaign going of only fian champions. Works out very well with tactics and terrain.
i Conquered the whole map using only fian champions and abusing the retreat and re attack button
@@ashcanlas1089 haha that’s awesome. It’s so easy.. their close range melee makes them S tier.
laith ignorijgbthe ransom, getting mad at them escaping and executing the rest was funny ngl
Tldr every bannerlord game I ever played
Dude learn the commands, you can spread archers out, so they are less likely to get hit by cav as much. In hideouts, you have to order them to charge and put free fire on. In hideouts the archers are put as not to fire in hideouts unless you set them to free fire.
so uhm.. if you press f4 while in a hideout, your archers will start shooting, and they basically always completely destroy anybody in their way (at least the fian champions do) so hideouts with archers make easy renown, money and opinion
Bro you need to yell them to shoot in the camps
I do this all the time just go battalion fian champion and khuzait arches and them f1 f3 most fights and watch the enemy get mowed down
If you wanna continue this horse archers are absolutely insane in this game. If you travel out east to the mongol people you'll find some nice ones. Best in the game are Khans Guards
