I just started my next campaign where my first fief was Quayaz so this was perfectly timed! Great breakdown of the siege battle! This was my first time watching one of your videos, but I guarantee it will not be the last!
Within your UA-cam bio you have the link to your discord channel. What you need to do instead is create a server invite link and select the option that makes it never expire, and then you can copy & paste the discord server invite link, instead of the channel URL.
Quyaz has changed hands so many times in my playthrough lol. Unqid lost it to Vlandia before I even became a vassal, and it’s a priority target for whenever the empire declares war on Vlandia, so now it changes between Vlandia and Empire every couple weeks lmao. And the castles in the area around it are bordergore hell. But hey at least we (I) wiped out the Southern empire and crippled the Khuzaits, so in my campaign the Aserai are basically migrating northeast. They said fuck the desert, let the Europeans fight over it!
In my Aserai campaign it is always lost to Vlandia too. But it always rebels, then Vlandia retakes. This devastation cycle goes on and on except when the Aserai takes it back.
One of my tips is I always groom my younger sister (assuming playing campaign) as my engineer. Set her INT to at least 8 and max out engineering and she will level up very quickly. Much faster than the engineering wanderers with 3 INT anyways.
If playing vanilla, slaughtering that 1900 strong army in a siege defence only leads to the enemy AI spawning a new stack of 2000 just outside of your sight no matter how many nobles you have captured.
Big fan of your channel from the middle east i think most of us aka medival and history nerds love your channel keep up the good work … and can you share the mod or the mods that you are using to get bigger enemy army i understand it is late game but still i think you are using a mod that makes it difficult ❤
Did that episode I covered on the strength and AI mod help you here? I hope so. Cheers and it's amazing to know that I have fans across the world. I appreciate it friend!
Ik im not him but If ur a mercenary you can’t command the battle unless ur alone if u wanna take castles alone what I do is I usually get trebuchets (build them and hold them in reserve until u have enough for all slots) and destroy their walls defenses so you can focus on one ladder and use ur higher tier archers with infantry in front in a square to not get shot and the archers can out shoot them then push the infantry in a square when most of their archers are down and just avoid city sieges cause there’s way more men
For an offensive siege if you have elite archers its kind of easy. Just place them far away from the walls and let them shoot with a shield wall in front. They are to far away to take significant damage and will kill a lot of their archers, then retreat once you run out of arrows and repeat. Once they have no arrows, just climb one side of the ladders with archer support close by. You can also use the trebuchets yourself to kill some of the infantry thats closed by
Unfortunately I don't have any save files that can help me with this. I'll do my very best to defend a castle or city in the next campaign as the mercenary. I can tell you though this is very difficult and I would recommend mostly archers since who knows what the AI is going to do...
You said you hated the city layout for the defensive siege, but you didn’t really go into detail for the reasons why. Would you mind going over the specifics as to what you look for in map for siege defense? I’d like to know how you’re viewing the setups to figure out what I’m not seeing as a difference in our playtime
I can make this kind of episode, sure. The BIGGEST thing is very poor line of sight for archers. If you go back and watch I talk about it a little how ESPECIALLY the left side has lousy positions for archers to spread out. You want LOTS OF SPACE for your projectile units if you're not manning the walls, and Quyaz doesn't have it...
Yep up to 2000 but it includes horses so typically you'll see about 1500. Be warned that occasionally it causes crashes though it's pretty rare but the bigger effect I think is it does overpower the outnumbered side.
@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions I now have it every playthrough! Playing Realm of Thrones with an army och 500 tier 6 units (all 3 dragons) vs 4000(1500 on the field) of wights is so fucking awsome😂 Btw, do u think it is worth it to try the Warhammer mod if I know nothing about Warhammer? Looks insane.
We covered this in one of our recent epic siege series. I don't have the link handy because I'm on the road but take a look at the epic siege series I'm pretty sure it's in there.
Great content. I listened to this while my wife was sitting nearby, and she was nothing but complementary to your narration style. We hada few laughs during the battle. However, you should know that yourube ads are riding your channel bareback. Hard and sweaty. I got 4 ads. One interrupting the intro. Two during peek drama during the battle and a final one interrupting the exit blurb. It seems its not enough to advertise on content, but they have to ruin the content and the viewing experience. This is in no way your fault or the channels. But the ad algorithm is fucking making up for lost time with wild abandon, the corpo fucks.
I hate to say it brother because you're a VIP member but I'm giving in. Most of the music is what is causing the ads as the owners of the music have the right to advertise when I use their music which I guess makes sense. I find music to be an integral part of these battles and so I'm getting two different subscriptions for music licenses and offset that cost I'll be running some sort of AdSense as well. It's still possible down the road I run some form of patreon but no matter what they're going to be ads because UA-cam reserves the right to advertise even if I am not monetized. We're all just pawns on the corporate chessboard here.
I just didn't appreciate them dog piling onto good content with their cash grubbing ways. Purgatory is full of folk in marketing... and HR. The music MUST stay. I've Two new playlists because of your channel. I'll just rant and try to chew my eyebrows every time an ad comes on but hey, if it wasn't that it'd be something else that'd piss me off 🙃 ...rings of power for example. My wife is the best. Poor taste in men but. 😆
PLEASE attack TYAL. That gate makes both walls and the courtyard killboxes. Most difficult city I’ve ever had to take and I barely won with 1600 troops
When you're caffeinated in speaking a hundred miles a minute you're undoubtedly going to say something once in awhile that you regret. Fortunately I believe in forgiveness as long as it's an accident and I hope others do too! Especially considering that by now there are literally 500 hours of me just talking and I very rarely go back and edit something out LOL
I always enjoy when Sean Strickland uploads more war strats for me to copy
Haha! Hope he doesn't sue me some day for impersonation!
I’m obsessed with your channel man. I’m so glad i found it. Keep doing what you’re doing
Stoked to hear it bud, I'm ONLY doing this because you folks enjoy it. More to come, but you knew that already...
10:25 yes, those explosive pots are strictly for fire catapults, not regular ones, but some fiefs will have them laying on the groud normally
That end scene is what you would call your quintessential charnel house. :D
I just started my next campaign where my first fief was Quayaz so this was perfectly timed! Great breakdown of the siege battle! This was my first time watching one of your videos, but I guarantee it will not be the last!
Stoked I could help friend and hope you drop by again. We have lots of tutorials and epic siege battles that may help you in your own game...
13:07 those are called murder holes btw. Awesome videos!
Thanks! (and thanks!)
Thank you so much. I was waiting for this. This city always gets devastated on most campaigns
Glad I could help!
Just found the banner lord game recently and this channel. It’s fucking great. Keep up the good work
Thank you hombre hope you stop by again I'm happy to share what I've learned with you fellas
Honestly, I'm happy to watch the setup stuff. I feel, in many cases, that it makes a HUGE difference on the outcome of the battle.
Thanks for this feedback - and I agree completely!
Quyaz: ahh what a wonderful to-
literally every faction: 🗿 i must say i would be a shame if i just.. (proceeds to devastate town)
Quyaz: 😭😭😭😭
Also, it likes to become independent, too. So that thing is constantly changing banners.

Nice work with those sieges thank you for the tips
No problem 👍
nice you give your tresholds for archers on the wall. like this mic btw

Yeah I'm glad I covered this city because it does seem to switch hands a lot in the campaign.
One of my tips is I always groom my younger sister (assuming playing campaign) as my engineer. Set her INT to at least 8 and max out engineering and she will level up very quickly. Much faster than the engineering wanderers with 3 INT anyways.
Also, my sister NEVER gets married lol
with me she is always the one on the catapult.
she is always my partyleader with level 1&2 troops so she has to do a lot of healing.
Love this tip I'm going to steal it for my campaign and make it least one siegemaster who also has high medicine skill great stuff dude
If playing vanilla, slaughtering that 1900 strong army in a siege defence only leads to the enemy AI spawning a new stack of 2000 just outside of your sight no matter how many nobles you have captured.
lol, yeah I know the feeling - on the other hand, it's one battle after another for you making you better at the game!

What are the commands for redistributing troops into units mid battle? Been going crazy trying to figure it out
F3-F5 on a PC
Select the squad you want to take units out of, then f3-f5
nice video bro. what are your pc specs?
In the description, I'm on the road right now so I can't type them out but rather they're on the channel profile
wait what, I didnt know you could have more than 500(1000) units on the battlefield?? Mod called Battlesize?
