hi! im trying to do this, but i cant understand why my party (just me and 3 companions) is super slow, speed 3. we all have horses and no extra burden, i cant even chase 6 looters How is it possible?

I've done this type of campaign once and seeing this video made me want to try it again. It was really fun and I grew very attached to the whole party, so it killed me inside when my save got corrupted and I lost pretty much everything.
Im doing this challange like 100 hours and its really amazing. Im still not bored because game does not enter the same loop after u declare your kingdom. Having like 25 soldiers is not easy so u have to make your decisions well. U cannot just gather an army and conquerer lands like u do in previous campaigns. But i need to say that it takes so much effort and patience for the first 10 years. Killing looters and raiding villages over and over and over again is a bit too boring. But after ur companions and family members reach 200+ at bow and riding everything starts to get fun. If u bored of playing same playthrough like me i definitely recommend this challange.
I also only use companions for my army, I actually have 160 of them. It's really cool being able to equip and upgrade them as I want to form a really unique army of veterans, the only thing missing is the ability to put the companion in the units I want but apparently the 1.1.0 Beta is on the path to let the player choose it so it's a good thing. That combined with mods that let you change your companions's names and appearance and that's all I needed to enjoy this game !
@@warthoggoulags1679 With the cheat "campaign.conceive_child" you can get hundreds of familymembers even without a mod, as it bypass the cap. Even 90 year old women gets pregnant with that cheatcommand. Mods will speed it up however, like a mod to switch clanleader so you can use the command to make every woman in the clan pregnant, as the command only works on the clanleader.
Haha looks like fun. Imagine the freaking FAME your clan would have! They would be legendary and all of your companions are the stuff of myth. Technically every kingdom would be sending you piles of gold and fiefs to get your loyalty in hopes you could swing wars in their favor
@@ChristopherHoover-g9o FR I straight up don't get companions until I have atleast 20K, then I bling them up with mid tier gear so they don't die to forest bandits or caravan guards in the early game. In warband I just brought them, they came in a neatly packaged set with skills according to the weapons they had and I let them fight as is. Can't do that with bannerlord because all companions suffer the Jeremus disease of being unconscious unless you give them mid tier armor
imagine nowadays history class: "The lands were torn apart by constant wars between the lords. The legend says that the man by the name of Godfrey came and united the realm with his party of 19. Of course its a myth, there is no world where a party of 20 could ever do it, but it is what the records of those times say"
As much as I admire this... I can't believe you dedicated the time and energy into this. I wish I could enjoy Bannerlord on that level- I did with Warband. Excellent work my man.
This is legit. I have do the same playthru. This video edit out the part of all the grinding. So we didn't see the part where he was grinding in arena fights just to gain 250 gold per win and only a tiny amount of xp gained from it. Also grinding up the companions by fighting looters take ages.
I just started Bannerlord and even while using advantageous mods I still have difficulties in the game, seeing your video, what you've done is amazing.
I did this kind of campaign on Warband. 1 of the most fun I ever had because the start was super hard. But at some point its like a switch was flipped and we just started wrecking people. Same kinda set up. I had Bow/arrow/arrow/Heavy morningstar for each of them and they could do it all. Was so much fun to just watch the kill feed every time.
I'm glad you like it so much! I'm currently in the middle of another clan members only playthrough, where I'm conquering Calradia. This video will hopefully will be up next week!
I did this the last time I played, but in a sandbox with no family. Also using the trick of recruiting reset women from the mission of the lost daughter (I don't know if it still works). It's really entertaining, I dedicated myself to transforming them into Fians, I went in to help my allies in sieges and my 10 companions and I killed half of the defending army, I ordered them to charge using their two-handed swords and a terrifying carnage began, literally, Because they had the two-handed sword terror perk, you have an idea of the morale damage caused by 11 characters with that ability, killing unstoppably. If you want a different and entertaining starting suggestion, once played as a mercenary "drill sergeant". I would recruit low-level soldiers, train them, and then donate them to the armies my faction created. I trained sturgia infantry and donated them to the southern empire, it was fun to see my old soldiers win battles for their new masters.
@@omareshaaq3913 Hi Omar, unfortunately in the last patch they corrected it. But if you play the previous patches it will work without problems, search the TW forum "Glitch to get female companions" there I explain the step by step to get female companions, young and with undistributed talents and attributes.
Did something similar in one campaign. All characters used mace, shield, braceable and swingable polearm and 1 set of javelins. High level perk for throwing let them penetrate shields. Fun when multiple companions have it and I skirmish high tier melee frontline that are approaching slow with shields up!
I have done this in the past, one of the most fun playthroughs IMO, in the end game you can make them lords and castles etc but destroying armies with just a handful of troops that upgrade over time is the most fun element.
Awesome. I remember when this game was new, it was sloooow to level up companions. Good to know this has changed; the way you play has been my preferred way too. Looks like I need to reinstall!
I did a Lord of the rings companion only challenge where I was Gimli and I could only have Legolas and Aragorn. I gave them all elite skills and equipment. My goal was to help the "Men of the west" (Vlandia) win lol
I have over 1k hours and this was awesome sir I always wanted to do this but didnt want the stress I thank you believe me when I say I get how hard this was
then I destroyed the southern empire. Landless Rhagaea was pissed and was constantly raiding the villages of my town and castle that used to belong to her. I got frustrating with constantly having to defend those villages that I just gave the fiefs away, and conquered and took a couple of sturgian towns. Then I gave the dragon banner to N. Empire, everyone was attacking them, then I became a mercenary. N.empire got completely destoryed while my newly founded kingdom conquered their very last town. I was indeed 200 moves ahead to destroy what remained of the Empire from within.
Man I am giving this a go, and 3 years into the campaign i have 4 sons and 3 nephews - my sister hasn't even aged up yet! I went straight for a marriage to Abbagai and used the Long Glaive and my Chad ass wife to free my family within the first few months of the game. Its really easy to get the persuasion if you have high atheletics and get Having Going first. Then after you get your brother back, you often get a marriage proposal right after - just accept it, because its so early in the game it will take a million years to afford a wife. Then (although its really painful) just wait till they're both pregnant. I missed out on some juicy raiding for this, but i think its worth it. Now I think im going to kill my brothers wife by having her charge sea raiders naked and get a new one - those noble chicks sure do got nice gear!
This is very similar to my current playthrough (console), I wish I saw these videos before they are edited well and very informative. I currently only have a clan army/ parties but my 700 or so can decimate any faction even when outnumbered. Just wish I chose campaign instead of sandbox. Keep up the good work bruh
Hey man that was a very fun video to watch! How did you get your party to have 20 companions? Ive only recently started to play Bannerlord, and have 55h.
Insane man! I only used soldiers in the garrison, which was to prevent rebels. I have 900 hours of playing time and I have never played so eagerly and enjoyably. So many mods in vain this real fun. By the way, there was only one mod I used "Marry Anyone" and you know what I'm doing.
Man you have a legendary companion around you, their name surely be spoken and echos through centuries. People that time must have hated them so much and call it a witchcraft, a sorcery of some sort due to the incomparible force they have. Play bannerlord normally : impossible 😂
Your companions after 100 hours. > I am worth an army. My companions after 200+ hours. > Sword and board squishy squishy boy. I'll be honest after 600+ hours of Bannerlord, Companion AI seems even stupider to me than regular troops so i'm not sure i believe this.
My companions are dumb and lame as well. They are all wearing Lordly cav armor with OP weapons, but they just get wounded and hardly ever get kills. Even in tournaments, they easily lose to crossbow sergeants and shit.
Man I remember doing this in vanilla warband but without children obviously and just companions fully geared this seems way more fun and much harder (vanilla warband can be super easy)
it was a lot easier in Warband. I've played warband for thousands of hours and 90% of the time it was just me and the companions. even companion only playthroughs are not that hard, just a bit more time consuming, but also super rewarding. I never cared much about arena (not that it gave items in WB), I was just gathering the guys fighting looters on the way. by the time I got all of them, I was ready to take out out small parties of sea raiders. all you need to do is farm them over and over again until you get everyone in good chainmails and helmets. of course, all horse archers + 2 handed, except Rolf with throwing and Bonduk with crossbow (just for the sake of variety). after that, it's all about leveling up and making money for better and better weapons and horses. once you start beating lords, you farm top tier armor pieces, keeping the best for yourself and passing the restm over. sieging is also way easier in Warband as you can get 50+ kills with the bow yourself and if the rest get another 50, the garrison is already withered down. all it remains is to go to the choke point and maul everyone as you would do in every single siege (you can literally win a castle by yourself, so much easier than in Bannerlord). holding the captured castles is the hard part, especially once you have lots of them, as you can get attacked in multiple places all at once but all you need to do is to ensure you're behind the wall when the big army attacks, tediously kill everyone at the choke point and then, when the enemy is weak, try to capture more castles than you lose.

"My lord, the enemy has arrived!"
"How many are they? Hundreds? Thousands?"
"Just... twenty sir."

This is genius. The best part is that they’re cheaper, and DONT DIE
Amazing!
Good luck to your companions and your patience!!💪
Thanks for the super chat! Good luck in your playthrough too!
This was my favourite way to play the Warband earlygame. So much lordly sea raider loot...
I saw the thumbnail and thought it was lame but seeing the vid… ngl “godfrey and the 20” sounds pretty feckin epic
because of videos like this i can never stay away from the game.
I miss my mongolian archer rider horde... Was such a fun playthrough having like 120 or so horse archers.
There's a guy who conquered every kingdom solo in less than 30 years. You should try that next.
I get the same feelings when i fight an enemy with my 290 khan's main party
I had the most fun in Warband with companions only. Never tried it in Bannerlord. I will now, though. Thanks.
bro made Plot Armour from movies and shows a real thing
this is a good video. would be cool if there was a video with full battles linked somewhere though
Are you ok? He stated that the full battles are already linked multiple times lmao. Check the description the link is literally there.

This has the same energy as a Warhammer total war doomstack
Awesome. I remember when this game was new, it was sloooow to level up companions. Good to know this has changed; the way you play has been my preferred way too. Looks like I need to reinstall!
2h, javelins and bow - all it is probably OP things in Bannerlord, so i am understand your choise. Its my too
Nothing is stronger than love, except an M32 rotary grenade launcher

How did you get your party to have 20 companions?
Ive only recently started to play Bannerlord, and have 55h.

I did this with sturgian armor and had a full hero shield wall, gave them viking names too and I had my own little viking raiding party
It’s more easier in Warband. No compagnions limits
Currently I'm playing a trader, building family business.
I like this idea. Just a band of misfits roaming the lands and fucking shit up. Will try it after my current playthrough
That was awesome man
So, you turned bannerlord into Fire emblem?
This is a really cool idea, I think I will try it too!
This is legit. Nor with actual patch you can go insane too - but faster ^^
How many years? 50 or more?
Those skill-highs take a while, dont they?
Awesome campaign! Gotta try this myself

I've played warband for thousands of hours and 90% of the time it was just me and the companions. even companion only playthroughs are not that hard, just a bit more time consuming, but also super rewarding. I never cared much about arena (not that it gave items in WB), I was just gathering the guys fighting looters on the way. by the time I got all of them, I was ready to take out out small parties of sea raiders. all you need to do is farm them over and over again until you get everyone in good chainmails and helmets.
of course, all horse archers + 2 handed, except Rolf with throwing and Bonduk with crossbow (just for the sake of variety).
after that, it's all about leveling up and making money for better and better weapons and horses. once you start beating lords, you farm top tier armor pieces, keeping the best for yourself and passing the restm over.
sieging is also way easier in Warband as you can get 50+ kills with the bow yourself and if the rest get another 50, the garrison is already withered down. all it remains is to go to the choke point and maul everyone as you would do in every single siege (you can literally win a castle by yourself, so much easier than in Bannerlord).
holding the captured castles is the hard part, especially once you have lots of them, as you can get attacked in multiple places all at once but all you need to do is to ensure you're behind the wall when the big army attacks, tediously kill everyone at the choke point and then, when the enemy is weak, try to capture more castles than you lose.
"Give me 12 good men." lol
Imagine having an army, full of cataphract or Khans guard besides your companions and family
Unstoppable
Love this video!
7:10 Do you have to level each companion's Athletics to 275 to get the Mighty Blow perk?
Yes
