Full Galadriel Campaign Playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLJYyY2q0WfPHMYl60KztThn65RYu8todk.html&si=CR_U8wwhNmU-civz *A couple notes for this video - I was about 60 hours into the campaign at this point in only 4 days, so my voice was shot and my temper was flaring a bit. This specific battle took over 2 hours to complete and I ended up editing out 20+ clips of foul language/complaining lol but I kept some in so you could see the struggle. This is the full battle and how it ACTUALLY went down. I reloaded and fought it a second time to get the win, although I don't consider this savescumming because the game bugged out. I'll be editing the full campaign into a single heavily edited video soon and will post the link here and in the description once it's done!
i feel these types of fights. though ill admit its on a lower difficulty and with some mods. still nothing worse than just joining a kingdom and getting the castle or city in the worst spot and you get 4 factions running at your town with 10000 troops non stop. and yeah as you discovered if you leave the battle from outside the settlement its a retreat lol. but if you try manually its a surrender its a nice little cheese still since ill play prevent defense on the outside sometimes.
@@unholyknightwhowanttowield5522 Carrhae was won similarly. The Parthians brought wagons full of arrows to restock, so they could keep up the loop of charging testudos and shooting before they reform.
To be fair, usually the Mongol's major enemies were fellow nomads(Jurchins etc.) or other bow loving ex-nomads(Turks, Koreans etc.). The crossbow/polearm/gunpowder based China mainlanders were the odd ones.
Thats crazy.. Banner lord was FAR more stable then Warband was.. I almost never get crashes in Bannerlord tbh and I'm runnin on a factory Intel Graphics card..
Monchug: you WHAT?! Messenger (mumbling): we lost, sir. Monchug: Fifteen hundred men against one woman, and you LOST?! Messenger: yes sir. Monchug: HOW? Messenger: she outmaneuvered us on horseback and pelted us with arrows for hours on end. Monchug: That's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard (weeps). ... The amount of patience to do this is ridiculous. And you're doing an entire campaign of this? Absurd. You're a maniac. This is amazing!
@@anniew4105there's no reason they couldn't. I'm pretty sure sieging troops can open and close at least the inner gates if they make it behind the walls.
I see the "run away and shoot their knees" strategy for killing 40 sea raiders alone from warband was not only not removed, but made even more broken lmfao
In fairness the last athletics perk grants +1 hp for every point past 250 and he has it at 330, so his unit has basically twice the normal hp of a normal unit plus some of the best armor in the game.
When you were outside the town, taking shots at them up on the wall…Why don’t they just close the gate and claim the fief for themselves 😂 That was the goal after all, get you out and them in
They were too confined by rage and wanted to chase lol I did several offensive siege battles in this campaign and it's actually easier because the AI is more passive, so it would have been better for me if they took it and acted like defenders :) I'll have to pick an offensive siege to post from this campaign soon
I just thought about how there should be a capture point in the castle. It would make defenses less cheeseable and would prevent troops bugged behind walls from breaking Sieges. Of course then we would have players just sneaking in and back capping but maybe if you need 10 troops in the zone for like a minute?
@@henrikt.183 yes, like Total War. Or maybe multiple capture points, like a couple on the walls and one within the city/castle itself, to represent total control of the location
I wasn't sold on this campaign at first; it just felt like it was so slow to start. But man, once you started tearing the kingdoms up from the inside, I was hooked. Always looking forward to the next episode.
average player "wow 2 V 1 is hard. skilled players "while my army was keeping them busy I flanked and killed like 50 then theres Strat... Strat just casually obliterating over a thousand single-handedly
Thanks! 250 bandits is pretty hard to do with a spear, don't downplay that. Melee is orders of magnitude harder than kiting idiot AI around with a bow :)
The enemy only surrenders all their troops after a siege assault if the party leader of those troops is wounded/killed. So if they are still alive when they retreat, then they can continue the siege if they feel strong enough to do so
Which would make sense IF they have the player a chance to finish the fight even while wounded. But as it stands, it makes no sense. I drove them off, killed everyone else and then they get to capture for free? Sounds like an oversight in their spaghetti code :)
well its taleworlds, i also kinda feel that they more or less stopped or at least slowed down the working/improvment of bannerlord, like this game is published since 1,2 years? dunno exactly but there are so many bugs even some mildly "game-breaking" like this one here, because i claim to lose siege and therefore a castle/city and get yourself in captivity can you absolutely lose the war...@@Strat-Guides
The sheer amount of editing to get every archer shot in there cut up so perfectly. Probably took twice as long editing this video than the entire battle took.
You get so much experience in engineering from killing enemies with siege equipment. On my current playthrough I found that out when I went in (assaulting) sent my troops to the rear and started picking people off with ballista. After 5 minutes I leveled up and noticed in my combat log engineering skill has reached level 70 (it was like 1 or 2 to start the battle). So I retreated, put my focus point into engineering went back out and by the end of the battle my engineering skill was higher than my engineer. So now I'm my own engineer and my old engineer is governing the town I took.
There should be an increasing morale penalty for each kill a unit (including the player) does. So the first kill doesn't do much, the 10th one costs some morale for the enemy, the 100th kill makes half the army retreat and if Strat is playing the enemies just kill themselfes by default.
Yeah that's a really good idea. It does seem linear and is offset by enemy deaths, so it doesn't really do anything until the battle starts to snowball - the point where morale is irrelevant anyways lol
Doesn't need to be increasing, just make it inherently unstable. It should be: You gain morale equal to the tier of each unit your side kills. You lose morale equal to twice the tier of each unit you lose. And lastly, army morale should not increase with it's size. That way, if both sides were killing roughly equal amount of unit tiers, a large battle would turn into a rout before either side lost majority of troops, while a small skirmish might be to the last man.
@@frantisekvrana3902 Elite troops should never rout, their whole premise is that those are the real full time warriors. Morale hit decreases based on unit tier, I mean, try to prevent farmers from retreating after a few dozens of them fall. but again, for that to be implemented there also should've a retreat mechanic for the AI, because retreating is not the same as routing.
@@matheusbee3441 There is a perk for tier 3+ troops that makes them avoid retreating, and it's so broken lol. The difference between having the last 30-50 men run or fight to death marks the difference Also anyone who plays Total War games knows that the units with unbreakable morale are a headache to fight
This was amazing, I usually only watch your guides and tactics because as console player I find it extremly hard to fight enemies myself and command so I just hang back and use troop tactics with minimal success. I still suck after 1000 hurs lol, but this video was a great treat in showcasing how to tango with the AI. So i'm def going to check more of this campaign as it gives me hope that when my armies get massacared I can still fight on
I've found after all these hours - the true skill is understanding the habits and patterns of the AI. Once you figure that, you don't need a ton of mechanical skill to beat them :) I'm definitely not the best at the mechanics of the game (watch me play online, I get crushed badly lol) but I can figure out the AI's patterns pretty quickly
@@Strat-Guides Thanks for the reply Strat, I have only really figured out the horse archer AI, I might need to play on the easier difficulty to give myself more time to watch the AI more as my pride gets in the way on campaigns keeping it on bannerlord difficulty LOL
Man, these enemies are just terrible. I know AI has certain limitations, but the fact that they couldn't do shit to you as you just kited them and shot them endlessly in the face is really unimpressive on their end.
This was from a solo-person world conquest campaign that took close to 100 hours to complete. The whole thing was pretty much this with maybe 20% melee combat as well, but mostly kiting massive hordes with bow and arrow lol
Imagine after the battle a messeger talking to their general like: Sir.We lost the battle. -What!? How many where they? Yall had like almost Two thousand soldiers! 1,sir. -1 thousand? 1Million!? One soldier sir. -Oh...god.. *Absolute shock* WE ARE SURRENDERING NOW!
Yeah, I think you had too low health to redeploy at the end of the siege, and with one of their units making it out alive, they technically had an army left to capture the city from you. That's the only explanation I can think of. Still one hell of a fight!
@@Strat-Guides Since you can retreat and redeploy as many times as you want, so long as you are not too wounded, it's only fair the AI gets to do it too. And they even have to make it to the edge of the map, unlike you.
That's some maneuvers that I can't perform. I love the siege defense, especially ambush mission because I have "family planning". Perhaps it's dev oversight your companions and family have unlimited arrow outside the wall and melee units won't engage you outside of destroyed siege machine range. I used this to max level up their athletic & bow skill.
This was such a great stream, and so was your last one. I learned a lot, reinstalled the game and have been playing successfully and having fun. I'm still a noob but some of the late game stuff is making much more sense, and your videos really help fill in the gaps.
Nice, I'm happy to hear that! If you ever get stuck on anything, leave a comment and I will try to answer (I don't get 100% but I do get to a lot of them)
For this reason, in Brutenwald's mod for Warband, almost every infantryman carries at least one stack of javelins that they don't shoot immediately. You would have been turned into a hedgehog in a sec
I'm using a noble longbow which has the highest damage in the game, have bow skill up to 330 (max) and have all the perks that increase damage. This is the highest possible damage with a bow :)
I'ma be honest, I skipped ahead when you were safe. But once you were 1 shot away from death, I watched every second. It was like watching a horror game full of jump scares.
This is one strategy that would *_never_* work in real life but is extremely funny to see XD I can't believe I spent 40 minutes of my life watching Galadriel shoot people in the legs over and over and over again
I think that if any of their lords had the perk that gives them back 30 - 40% hp after a battle (don't quote me on this) and if you don't have enough hp or units to either attack or send in the units to fight, you automatically lose. I could be very wrong but it's just an idea.
I think 500 renown and influence would be way too low. Imagine hearing of a warrior single-handedly taking out 1500 trained soldiers by themself.and they'd be considered as impressive as some leader winning 5 scale battles with a numbers advantage.
GG wp , in the end one escaped , that one last guy must be like "yes , you killed 1,5K of our soldiers but I take you as prisoner anyway" - said the looter who joined the enemy (just guess)
reminds me of how i cheesed sieges back in warband with the long 3m pollaxe i had an elite guard of like 25 swadian knights and i just kept overhead swinging the pollaxe. The hitbox was so far that i swung past two ranks of people, more if i timed my jump
How in the world people find motivation do do something like fighting 2h+ battle, winning it, then realizing that game counted it as "lose" and being like: "welp, lemme redo it one more time"? xD
Peak Bannerlord; two hours of grueling grind to win an impossible victory and got captured because the game is not able to make the difference between its head and its behind.
Insane video strat, I admire the patience and diligence output into this video. I think the fief was given to the khuzaits because of their single troop who had retreated though which is stupid for being implemented into the game.

*A couple notes for this video - I was about 60 hours into the campaign at this point in only 4 days, so my voice was shot and my temper was flaring a bit.

doing a campaign this difficult is an exercise in skill and patience even if you DO save-scum so go nuts as far as I'm concerned
reminds me of the time @LegendofTotalWar spent 2 hours in a single TWWH2 battle swooping the enemy to death
Why enemies never use bow? 👎 don’t like that kind of videos 😢
So basically you crushed 1.5k troops with just a horse and bow? Now I see how Genghis Khan conquered half of the planet
Along with walls, catapults, and a limitless supply of arrows.
Yeah pretty much lol it's all about that resupply and bringing extra mounts
@@Nurk0m0rath that's... also basically how genghis conquered the world. At least the arrow isn't exactly limitless though, and maybe without wall
Also explosives
@@unholyknightwhowanttowield5522 Carrhae was won similarly. The Parthians brought wagons full of arrows to restock, so they could keep up the loop of charging testudos and shooting before they reform.
Props to the squire that decided to stock 2k plus arrows in each of the barrels that morning. Not all heroes wear capes. 💪
Lol exactly!
it's like that American cop that carries like 1000 9mm bullets on patrol after he almost died to a wolverine type of criminal
Props to the attacking idiots who did not take away all those arrows although they had all the town for themselves )
@@sakesaurus it was closer to 150 or 200, still an insane amount
@@sakesaurus wolverine type of criminal?...
The beautiful irony of the Khuzait getting destroyed by horse archery. Well done!
Haha I didn't think of it that way, but so true
Their shields are smaller and less numerous, so other factions might actually have taken a lot more time.
Should have brought their horses with them
This is like before Janissaries Ottomans use mostly horse archery after europeans stole it (winged hussar cossack and baron)
To be fair, usually the Mongol's major enemies were fellow nomads(Jurchins etc.) or other bow loving ex-nomads(Turks, Koreans etc.). The crossbow/polearm/gunpowder based China mainlanders were the odd ones.
imagine sending 1500 troops to take a town with 1 person in it only to return with 1500 troops in caskets
No caskets, then crows will grow fat off their corpses :D
More like you send 1500 troops, 100 caskets, 1400 families paying ransom to get their men back home.

I am amazed you was able to play a 2h battle not only once, but twice without crashing. Mine would have crashed right at the end.
I had a fair amount of crashing this campaign actually, but luckily not this battle. Mostly during sieged
Seems taleworlds fixed a lot of crashing. Early in the beta/release, crashes on campaign map were often and battles too.
Thats crazy.. Banner lord was FAR more stable then Warband was.. I almost never get crashes in Bannerlord tbh and I'm runnin on a factory Intel Graphics card..

A little tip of dismount , your character will dismount from the oppisite side of where you current looking at.
Interesting, I wasn't aware of that, thanks for sharing! :D
Imagine if the AI just shut the gate behind you as you left…
I've got over a dozen battles from the campaign where I solo'ed a fief on offense, so it wouldn't help them. Galadriel cannot be stopped :D
They would be like:
We have what we came for, now go away pls
Well that will be the logical thing to do
"I refought the Battle again."
My reaction: *Ahuuueh?!*
Lol sometimes you just gotta get it done, ya know?
When you were outside the town, taking shots at them up on the wall…Why don’t they just close the gate and claim the fief for themselves 😂 That was the goal after all, get you out and them in
Yes, and game should allow you to escape hopeless battles this way

Nice, I'm happy to hear that! If you ever get stuck on anything, leave a comment and I will try to answer (I don't get 100% but I do get to a lot of them)
For this reason, in Brutenwald's mod for Warband, almost every infantryman carries at least one stack of javelins that they don't shoot immediately. You would have been turned into a hedgehog in a sec
Realistically, this battle probably would have won this woman however many kingdoms she wanted.
So many arrows to the knee. now we know who is the guards supplier of skyrim.
Lol they all used to be adventurers...
I have 2 questions:
1. How are you making so huge damage with a bow?
2. How long did this battle take?
I'm using a noble longbow which has the highest damage in the game, have bow skill up to 330 (max) and have all the perks that increase damage. This is the highest possible damage with a bow :)
@@Strat-Guides Do you have a video on that too? (Just discovered you by chance)
oracle: to defend the castle you must let it go.
me: that doesnt make sense at all.
you: ^
When those long hours of playing COD zombies pays off in a different game
I was just thinking this lol.
I'ma be honest, I skipped ahead when you were safe. But once you were 1 shot away from death, I watched every second. It was like watching a horror game full of jump scares.
Lol yeah it was a tough fight! I've got a few more like this from the campaign I'll upload soon :)
lol so we not going to talk about the 'The Biggus Dickus' banner? 😏
This is one strategy that would *_never_* work in real life but is extremely funny to see XD
I can't believe I spent 40 minutes of my life watching Galadriel shoot people in the legs over and over and over again
I think that if any of their lords had the perk that gives them back 30 - 40% hp after a battle (don't quote me on this) and if you don't have enough hp or units to either attack or send in the units to fight, you automatically lose. I could be very wrong but it's just an idea.
I think 500 renown and influence would be way too low. Imagine hearing of a warrior single-handedly taking out 1500 trained soldiers by themself.and they'd be considered as impressive as some leader winning 5 scale battles with a numbers advantage.
Now it is clear where so many guards with a shot in the knee come from
all the advancements in equality... and the girl still shoots the shins.
You are one of the best Bannerlord youtubers I love your channel man
They all were adventurers like us, then they all took and arrow to their knees 2:51
Imagine in real life, an entire army of elite soldiers gets murked by a single dude with a horse and a bow.
That's just how Galadriel would roll IRL (if Rings of Power is to be believed, anyhow lol)
Every video I watch, I learn something. Didn’t know you could man the armaments in the castle
GG wp , in the end one escaped , that one last guy must be like "yes , you killed 1,5K of our soldiers but I take you as prisoner anyway" - said the looter who joined the enemy (just guess)
3:19 the sped up "Die you bastard!" 😂
The skill and stamina are insane. RESPECT!
Thanks!
Imagine the conversation with the commander in cheif after losing 1K guys to a single person.
You should call yourself Robin from the Hood not Galadriel
would be cool to do this w/ like 7 other friends see how many ai a small elite force can hold against
I was going to skip through but ended up watching all of it, epic fight!
Thanks for watching! I did my best to edit it, but it's hard to make 2.5 hours of the same thing interesting lol
YOU sir, win the Legend of Total War, Max Cheese Award ! Congrats ! :D
Welcome to the jungle, we got fun and games. We got everything you want... OH SH!t, archers! Serpentine! SERPENTINE!
Lol I've got a great meme for that! It's not the one from game of thrones either - I'll put it in the final video for the main channel :)
reminds me of how i cheesed sieges back in warband with the long 3m pollaxe
i had an elite guard of like 25 swadian knights and i just kept overhead swinging the pollaxe. The hitbox was so far that i swung past two ranks of people, more if i timed my jump
How in the world people find motivation do do something like fighting 2h+ battle, winning it, then realizing that game counted it as "lose" and being like: "welp, lemme redo it one more time"? xD
I needed to win that battle to keep the solo-person world conquest campaign going :) I actually completed it not too long after this battle!
No army of 1500 can overcome plot armor.
Lol
Wow that was a master class on bannerlord siege defense. Well played!
Oh my Bannerlord, that's alotta corpses
The grave digger will earn his keep for sure!
I thnk the archers shoot when you're up high. and also above their teammates.
I love how you get TW'd at the end. Just wow
Haha yeah, it has to end that way. Good thing I had a save for that battle so it wasn't too much lost time
Bro's aim is fire🔥🔥🔥
Insanely good archery and maneuvering.
Thanks for watching!
Riding perk “Horse Breeder” plus tournament horses in inventory = snowballing infinite money?
25:00 into the video when the 1k troop deep looter gets called into action. This is about over. Sees dozens more Khan Guards and sweats.
Lol they had SO MANY Khan's guards, it made me sweat too
I just watched your joker playthrough video again a year later. Those were the days man. I hope you have a great day/night, take it easy.
Yeah that's where this campaign idea came from actually! Thanks, you as well :D
Man I remember watching this in the campaign. It's amazing!
Peak Bannerlord; two hours of grueling grind to win an impossible victory and got captured because the game is not able to make the difference between its head and its behind.
Lol well said
The MVP of this battle is not you, but that one guy who decided to retreat and won thanks to that.
The sped up "Die you Bastards" had me dying lol
Insane video strat, I admire the patience and diligence output into this video. I think the fief was given to the khuzaits because of their single troop who had retreated though which is stupid for being implemented into the game.
Yeah I think you're right. It's a poor game mechanic (or a bug) that they can still win the battle after losing the battle lol
The sheer will of strat gaming is 😮
