Fear not fan of epic battles, just as there must be some foreplay to any great sexual episode, this is our build up to a massive and hopefully epic Aserai campaign, heavily modded to make it brutally difficult. Cheers and thanks for sparing your time to watch this campaign, fellas (& ladies)... Count on two, maybe three episodes a week through the entire Autumn/Winter...
The commentary is more amazing than the game. I have been playing for a while and no don't have spare time to play. I just love watching and listening. Good work.
Great video. As always. You do a fantastic job at these. The escort caravans missions you can click on the next town and the A.I. pathfinding will have you on the same path as the caravan. If you ride in front of the caravan and fight the bandits without the caravan being involved they will usually go to more towns ( they don't loose any troops an can travel more) and get more of those leveling battles.
Legit the best bannerlord content channel on UA-cam. I feel personally attacked with the 12 minute attention span. I blame it entirely on having 2 young kids.
Loved the RP background stuff in the beginning. Funny and entertaining. Don't be self-conscious about jumping around in topics while you narrate. If people are watching a playthrough video, they're normally there to chill/relax. Sure, you'll probably pickup some tips and learn a few things but a narrow-focused video is not what they're after (in my opinion, anyways). Quite enjoyable. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!
@HeadlessHorsemanProductions even though I'm now in IN wasteland, after living in WA and PNW for the military my heart is always there and missing it. Happy to support!
IT'S HERE!!! I'm in the PNW too! I just moved and this time of year sucks for people like me who work outside, the Summer is, indeed, pretty damn amazing though.
Great start. I really enjoyed it. There's a lot I could say (all positive) but I'll stick with this. I like the different play style. I've started countless games. Each time I plan to play a different style and each time I repeating the same game. Looking forward to you insight on Companions, mods, etc.
Doing a run-through with max Dificulty: "Dangerous Bandit Parties", "improved AI Troops", "RBM", "Reinforcement System", and "Strengthen AI" amongst others. We shall see how it goes!
36:57 I hate that bug, its so annoying to deal with. It's happened to me a bunch of times too. It's RTS Camera that does that. If you do the slow motion/speed up time its what triggers it
First 6 minutes of this new series and I'm already craving some popcorn and cola. Also, just an interesting thing: Imperial recruits actually do have pitchforks, which, although utterly useless in terms of damage, actually can stop cavalry charges like other spears. In my observation, Looters are much better at wielding them than Imperial Recruits, but they still aren't hapless against cavalry bandits. I think Imperial recruits are the only such recruits (Sturgians have axes, Khuzait have maces, Vlandians have swords and Aserai also have maces?) which can actually stop cavalry charges from the get-go. I laughed my heart out when you confused the clan rank-up for the steward skill. Not complaining or hating, it's just such a hilarious misunderstanding and I think every Bannerlords player must've made it sometime or the other. I also really like how you explained the mercenary portion of this game. Winning big battles through tactics really does help you rake in money like crazy. Especially when you pair it with constantly raiding enemy villages/helping out in sieges. It's a very effective way to accelerate your character's growth in-game. You just gain elite troops, combat skills, levels, equipment and money all in one go. I like the way the campaign is shaping up and can't wait to see more of it. I'd love to see how this Calradia turns out to be by the time our Protagonist takes the stage.
The blackout during hideouts boss is because you entered that screen fast forwarding, just always remember to return to normal speed and the RTS mod doesn't break it worked that out in one of my playthroughs
36:50 The bug is with RTS if you're using the fast forward while they walk to you it bugs into a black screen. Just need to make sure the game is normal speed before entering that cutscene.
I don't recall if you mentioned it prior, but risk/benefit against desert bandits vs forest, raider or steppe is better. Biggest threat is number of horsemen in their party. All the other groups are highly armored, mounted, ranged or a mix of those. Cheers on your vid. Also, shout out to PNW - Originally from the Matlock and Bremerton side of the state.
At 32:48 (ish), what is happening is that each party's speed is determined by a variety of factors at different times. So, you might look at an enemy party and see that their speed is listed as '3.4', and your party's speed is listed as '4.8', so you think you can catch them. But their speed is dependent on whether they are travelling uphill/downhill, through forest, over plains, etc, and thus the party speed varies significantly (perks also play a role here). It can be frustrating, so you have to look at the terrain they are about to move through/across, as well as their current speed on the terrain they are moving through when you first assess their speed. Not a big deal when you're chasing bandits, but when in a more critical situation, such as trying to catch an army before it can join forces with an allied army, it becomes very important to consider that kind of thing. Just managed to join your Discord, and am happy about that. Thanks for the incredible content as always. Cheers.
Man i mean it when i say that intro was the most beautiful and cinematic 5 minutes of bannerlord content ever created. Cant help but feel bad for wazoos punctured testicle though, yikes..
I use Heal on Kill, but instead of using it to heal me, I use it to heal enemy lords. Sometimes it takes me and a couple companions to drop one. Makes couched lance hits worth the time to learn the skill so you can one-shot them before they heal back up.
@ I’m always on the lookout for mods to make the game progressively harder and harder. Reversing Heal on Kill to give enemy lords life steal was just a fun way to make them last on the battlefield.
Thank you for your videos man you changed the way I play this game, now it feels too easy 😅 I have a question. I tried to install "lord retinue uptier and improved ai troops" mods on the latest steam version of the game but improved ai troops mod makes the game crash (retinue uptier works fine). Do you know which version of the game is the mod compatible with? Or do you know any solution to this problem?
Interestingly, more recent studies coincide light north European skin being only appearing around 8000 years ago when agriculture spread through northern Europe. Seems that they were dark skinned until that spread.
I hadn't heard this with quite that level of granularity, but it makes sense to me. Some animals like hares have evolved incredibly quickly, so I guess 8000 years is plenty of time for us to evolve so uniquely too...
This was only something I fixed recently - it was happening for some kind of other conflict, even if I used normal player speed. I uninstalled the RTS mod, config and all, then re-downloaded it and it worked for me. Thanks!
@HeadlessHorsemanProductions it's not a perk! Higher charm , clan tier, how strong your party is , and how badly the kingdom needs you are all factors that are depends on your paycheck! You could also get more money if you have better relation with a noble! Sometimes this game is compicated! 😄👍
@@fkzx77AkaJonasTornqvist VERY often the game is complicated! It's part of the charm. Sometimes it's simple, other times it's awesome in it's complexity...

You can also hold down Alt key and click on the caravan to follow.
Thanks for this tip!
This is the perfect niche Bannerlord channel. Never switch it up mate. Brilliant intro.
Thanks for the kind words - I have fun with a little story telling...
It’s finally here! Love the rich narrative. 4:09 I’m cracking up at the assault by ornery horses.
haha thanks! I've been busy elsewhere, but stoked to see so many fellas enjoyed it! more coming!
Another Perfectly times insomnia save, you sir are outstanding!
Thank you for the kind words!
Keep it up brother! Keep dropping these gems and I'll keep watching!!
I'll do my best bud!
So glad I found your channel
Me too friend
Legit the best bannerlord content channel on UA-cam.
I feel personally attacked with the 12 minute attention span. I blame it entirely on having 2 young kids.
Appreciate it! And for those who have young ones, gotta work around the chaos! :)
I haven't finished the video yet but i just have to say, i love the format so far and I'm really looking forward to the rest of the series!
Glad to hear it, hope you enjoy the rest of the Aserai journey! it's going to be looong, but I think a lot of fellas seem to want that. Cheers!
i watch both u and strat love u guys!!!
Thanks, welcome aboard!
Very nice
Thanks

Yes! Been waiting for this blockbuster series! I can see you've spent a lot of time on this! Thanks brother! 😀
You bet! Won't be cut scenes to every episode, but had some fun with it and trying to set a good narrative/story. Cheers and thanks for the support!
How dare you release this while I slept 😄 🤣 (uk time) 8am now watching with breakfast lol
hah! It's almost random, almost!
Intro 10/10, excited for this campaign!
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck yessssssssss brotherrrrrrrrrrr i'm so piqued right now. rock hard piqued
Great video man, awesome background you made! Love this RP story! Can't wait to see what will happen in this campaign!
Pumped for this
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Oh I am excited for this video, love a good rags to riches story!
Might be rags to riches to rages LOL, just to warn you...
@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions You're only human after all
Bruh. The back story had me laughing my ass off 💀
haha thanks!
Loved the intro man! Great job, very high quality
IT'S HERE!!!
I'm in the PNW too! I just moved and this time of year sucks for people like me who work outside, the Summer is, indeed, pretty damn amazing though.
You're in the PNW too?! And yeah, it's brutal in the PNW this time of year, but the summers are worth the wait!
This video taught me that you still have a lot to learn with 1v1 combat. If you can't chamber, you can't play. Enjoyed it all the same though.
Yeah, I'm still trying to figure that out! I may just grab a two-handed axe at some point, but my strength is tactics, not so much fighting...
A great destiny is waiting on Wazu! Thanks!!!
It’s here 🙌🙌
Congrats on the new campaign :) going to enjoy this
damn just read the thumbnail, didnt watch the video, finally full campaign! been waiting for so long!
Glad to hear your up here in Washington too, US to old farms will have to get together and have a couple beer and bulshit some. Good video bud!
Cheers fellow rain-washed mate.
Awsome dude, the azerai are great to play.. I've been really looking forward to this campaign ! 😋
Cheers, thank you!
10/10 intro loved it😂
🍿👁👁🍿Great start for the campaign 😎
It's finally here! 🎉
Wazu the Tall! Long may he conquer!
Finally, we get to see how you play a campaign. Great content, well paced.
PS. Prisoners slow you down 😉
yeah, I ALWAYS carry too many prisoners, oh well lol
Can’t explain to you how much I needed this!!
Glad to be there for you mate. Cheers!
Loved the video man! Please keep it up
Will do thank you!

Each time I plan to play a different style and each time I repeating the same game. Looking forward to you insight on Companions, mods, etc.
Will do! Happy to share my thoughts and campaign.
I like your commentary style, reminds me of a foulmouthed PNW Northernlion.
lol, I get similar suggestions sometimes, I'll keep on being myself and hope fellas enjoy it...
Oh hell yea! Let’s go
now THIS is a series i wont miss
Thanks for all your support brother!
Up the Waazoo!😂
Won't overuse this I promise!
@HeadlessHorsemanProductions one should never strain ones wazzoo... wot wot.
Yep it rained so hard yesterday. My dog hates it. Lol we are the Evergreen State. I'm going to enjoy this playthrough.
Thanks for the support!
Nice! Will follow this one for sure

Yeah let's do this, hard = fun!
Enfin ! Ça promet d'être épique !
Merci, mon ami, et j'espère visiter bientôt votre beau pays avec ma femme ! Acclamations!
been waiting for this a long time 🎉
Please keep up the tips and tricks because there are definitely people who aren't pros that are watching(speaking for myself lol)

No offence brother, but Arabic is pronounced how it is spelled, not airaibic. Just don't want people to start teasing you for that.
No I GREATLY appreciate this and hope you correct me(gently) in the future when I show western ignorance. I am eager to learn and respect the culture.
I just gotta say, without the history narration and the tactics, the video would be boring
