- Mount and Blade Bannerlord was the perfect experimental environment to test out a childhood idea: the archers (mostly, that is) strategy. Behold the archers ONLY experience.

*STAYA WAY*
More segment challenges coming soon - I've been dying to cover more games and more ground all year - I'll be doing Rimworld (possibly a SeaBlock), made up religions in CK3, and another Factorio Death World of some sort soon - tell me what you'd most want to see!
*Winners of the Kenshi keys have been replied to from the last video - though there will be another giveaway for Kenshi soon :)
I want to see kenshi :D
I want more of that hilarious factorio death world philosophy. Maybe some fatalism this time? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
Idk what to comment
Reeeeeeee octane main go brrrr
To me it really doesn't matter what you upload, i just really like the narrating commentary you do.
Really helps with sleeping 2 ;D
I'd love to see another Rimworld saga begin. The struggle is real!
Alternate Title: playing Bannerlord the way you eventually end up playing it every single time.
It’s like Skyrim Stealth Archer
Weird way to write heavy cavalry there :D
@@RodnyAlDar no, I blot out the sun with archers
Sometimes you just gotta run full horse archer armies, it's not like I don't like the games mechanics. I just like to see the ai struggle
In Warband with the Floris mod:
RODHOK CROSSBOW WALL

Ambiguousamphibian's house motto should be "Don't touch me, or I'll scream."
Those faces...
I want them to stay as far away from my dreams as possible.
By the nine divines...
@@ambiguousamphibian I also would just like to explain why you did not get a castle. It was because you were not a high enough clan, you need to be tier 3 and formally join the southern empire. Hope that clears it up!
@@thomaswiltherford9265 So that's a good reason to do another video. *hint hint, nudge nudge*
Have you seen the mega weird smile bug?
Archer only experience sounds an awful lot like the “4 hours into my first play through” experience.
Yep. The veteran experience is milling about the map getting your ass kicked for 2 hours befriending the one NPC who sells Vigla recruits so you can buy Viglas and Forest Bandits.
true chads go for a companion only army using that mod that removes companion limit
Holy shit love your guys channel didn’t expect this crossover
Howd ya know? 🤣
Ahhh yes we used rocks, then smelted metal for swords, and finally used those shiny metal swords to sharpen sticks into pointy polearms. I remember seeing the great wooly mammoth hunt pictures in school. The brave cave man and their bastard swords and kite shields
I was thinking the same thing lmao, the wildest thing was that BOWS were at the end of it
@@PossumPunx closer to the start than weapon handles 💀
And by weapon handles I literally mean round wood
This guy could play that google browser dinosaur game and I'd still watch.
That dinosaur is on an extremely important spiritual journey.
"And here I am.
Running.
In the desert, completely alone.
Alone.
Alone.
There's nothing but me... and cacti.. and birds...."
i want this video now

"What're you doing Stappe Bandit?"
"Steppe bandit brother, what are you doing?"
"oh my god steppe bow you're penetrating so deep!"

clearly you've never sold crafted javelins
Now it's two-handed
A few tips for archer only challenges: Use Battanian Fian Champions, scan the battlefield for hills to place your troops on, spread your troops out to increase the area covered by arrows, and keep infantry units behind ranged units until enemies are close.
lol, what infantry units?
@@marcinzysko1653 peasants who haven't upgraded yet
@@MrLandShark55_55 nah infront is better. tank for muh archers
For a sec, I thought I was about to rewatch the legend of Hobin Rood.
I love this man's voice and the why he talks
Random inspirational/religious quotes?
The way and the why of his speech is a great wonder to all of us
Personally I'm a far of the where he talks
He's christian
Soon he and Sseth will become one
Hey buddy! Unfortunately you can’t take a castle until you’re actually a vassal of a kingdom, which requires clan tier 3, once you hit that then talk to the queen and offer your vassalage, you’ll get a high chance of a castle then since they try to even out the fiefs. Keep it up!
Glad you posted this as I’m lazy :-D but really want to see him defend one. It can be hilarious with lots of archers
You can be a vassal at tier 2, I'm pretty sure
@@cdru515 when you talk to the king/queen, it fades out the option saying it requires tier clan 3
No u
You can absolutely take a castle without being a vassal. I literally captured a town with my own faction's army and own three castles.
"Oh my God, my parents... They're awful." -Me at therapy
Plot twist: "They are dead because you ate them. But they tasted awful."
hey man.. love your work, but i kinda miss the continuous series.. the sea ice series in rim world is possibly one of my favorite contents here on youtube
Agree
I love Mount & Blade. You playing this is right in line imo. Keep it up!
"I need a voice that can intimidate"
It startled my cat so it worked lol.

_"Therefore, today, we undertake a strategy that will make you say, 'No one will ever touch me.' Of course, I mean, everyone in our warband wields a bow."_
Joke's on you, I've already mastered the art of being completely untouchable, and it involves zero bows, and a whole lot of collecting and displaying sexy anime figurines all over my room.
God tier comment
"Warfare has always involved hitting people." Words of the most wise one.
Love your videos on mount and blade. It's very nice that you uploaded another one.
I’m sure any army would BOW down to yours, Archery Army 🏹
Heh, good one.
Every army would QUIVER before him
Love mount and blade with AA's narration style. Makes for great content every time. You're great bro keep it coming
Great videos as always, id definitely watch more of this gameplay. Keep up the great content!
For a minute I zoned out and went - huh not a single joke about tea, Spiffing Brit has changed :D
Awesome to see more of this game!! Would love to see more challenges like this or maybe another cool weird Rimworld save. Thanks for the great content AA!
Just started rewatching Mount and Blade playthroughs randomly again too, great timing
God I've been missing Mount and Blade Bannerlord content. I'm happy you picked it back up, it's awesome!
Mount and Blade is a surprisingly nice game to watch
I wouldn't mind a more long-form playthrough, either with a challenge aspect or just a normal (or modded) playthrough
Though challenge series are also super fun too!
I love how you say hello at the start of every video
13:03 You missed a perfect opportunity to say "I have the high ground."
I really enjoy your episodic videos, so please don't abandon that format!
To get a castle in Bannerlord you need to be a vassal of a Kingdom not a mercenary and then you will be able to participate in voting on who get a castle, most likely you will win because you dont have any.
Just discovered your channel, getting some Sseth vibes and I can dig it. cool videos pimp
We love you, you magnificent Amphibian of Ambiguity!
How about a merchant playthrough? Going from city to city finding the most profitable items and becoming the richest man in the world?
The most boring playstyle as well as ironically the poorest
“What are you doing Stepp-bandit?”
😂😂😂
Hell yeah. I've never been interested in this game series, but watching you play has made me reconsider. If you wanna make more episodes, I'll watch 'em.
This is one of the strats I used in Warband. Everyone would be in the same archer crew, with the exception of companions who were mounted. A few melee guys mixed in with the archers, but not more than 10%. Just a few mixed melee units, particularly spears.
Battle starts: archers moved to best high ground they can get to and remain on in time. If cavalry are coming at us, stand closer. If not, maybe stand apart. Depends on enemy charge.
After that: cavalry follows me. We wait for our archers to start unloading on them, then we just sweep by them in the front of the line, causing a portion to chase us. We drag them to the right or left of our front line, within archer fire.
After that: cavalry, charge. Make sure they don't get clumped up, let them charge when they're in the open, otherwise they just get themselves hurt.
Once we've cleaned up most of battlefield, archers are free to charge and shoot down fleeing opponents.
The video structure reminds me a lot of how The Spiffing Brit structures his. Was enjoyable to watch.
Definitely post some more mount and blade I love that
I just started playing this and I can say without a doubt it’s easier to be an archer on a horse than to be literally anything else. Awful for hideout raids but ultimately worth it 🤷🏻♀️
This is the spiffing brit if he drank coffee
in the original, im pretty sure you had to swear allegiance to the ruler in order to hold property for that empire, you would be given a Ummm "starter town", looking forward to these, I was wondering how this game was coming along
I have been binge watching your Rimworld content, now expanding to other content. Can I just say your voice and intellect are as good as your content? Of course I can say it and I do. :)
Please do more of these, of any videos, your commentary makes the videos 1000% times better like the moon walking dude lol
Thanks ambiguousamphibian. Very cool
"then we got bows, the longest of all weapons"
*The sling will remember this*
Absolutely love the videos!!!
I always love the mount and blade content!
Made my night seeing you uploaded. Cheers to ya.
No idea if you have done it but a Underrail playthrough from you with the concise editing and commentary would be amazing.
This was good, I liked this. Factorio death world was also quite pleasing.
Watching your videos is like speed running church 🙏🏻
I did this without ever considering it a challenge run. The power of bows and crossbows are terrifying. I used to do this with the Rhodoks in warband all the time.
Definitely interested in more M&B content delivered in the amphibian's soothing voice.
Great vid. Definitely interested in more
Amazing video, amazing editing, love it.
This was great! Please more Mount and Blade.
Hey Ambigious, wondering why there was no Rimworld uploads came recently just to see that you played the same game as me! :D Keep this in mind: Battanian second Tier archers (highborn youth) are the absolute best archers in game... Fian Cahmpions are just elven Archers! If you manage to get 100 of them in your army, you are unstoppable. You can gain them by luck in Battanian settlements or just clearin Forest Bandits hideouts with a blunt weapon for prisoners. You need the Leadership skill at i think 225 to upgrade bandits to regular troops (Forest bandit to Fian if i remember correctly) Keep up your Work, i admire your way of commenting things and the sound of your voice. Best regards!
I absolutely love ranged and Tournaments in this game I saw the title and watched it... I soon remembered I watched it a week ago then continued to finish it. I enjoyed it again lol.
Gotta see more! That was awesome
I have Onica Castle in my current play through. I was the buffer between the Western and Southern empire, and the Empress keeps trying to break down my door.
I have defended from like 20 seiges at this point in that castle. I approve this spot for keeping the enemy away.
Id love to see more! To get a castle you either need to be a vassal, not just a mercenary.
Or you can take it bott yourself (i think)
Vlandian sharpshooters only...... seeing 250 of them mow down a group of horse archers is one of life's simple pleasures.
This was really entertaining. The sassy commenting mixing forced enthusiasm with roasting the game engine was gold.
1:40 COME ON I WAS SO CLOSE
More of this series would be great
Thank u for reminding about this game!
5:10 what are you doing step bandit
More of this please. I really want more bannerlord from you.
It would be cool if you did another short series of this
i really love the video that this man makes
bruh I just got into the series with this game the other day, and now my fav content creator makes a vid on it :> hell yeah
here's me 1 am in the MORNING after watching invincible good show btw
Staya way. Father and occasional abuser of Goa Way, the mad musket-hermit of the dark mountains
to remove 1/10th of your enemies army without taking a single lost is known as decimation
No it's not. When a Roman legion was punished it was decimated.
@@BudMasta yes... but the term means to remove 1/10th of an army... wether or not it's your army or your enemies is irelevent...
While sieging a castle and using a bow, along the wall where the NPC archers spawn are large containers holding arrows (12:55 to the left of your character is this object) and if you interact with it you will resupply your arrows, and I believe it also refills spears.
I think there is also some barricades outside the castle that spawn with this resupply, or you can literally pick up arrows NPC's have fired and use them, even taking them out of alive and dead NPC's. I am not even joking about this.
I seriously couldn't stop laughing for 16 minutes, thank you for the entertainment man. Keep it up!
This video is awesome! Have you thought about doing Bannerlord solo and seeing how far you can get?
I would recommend a blacksmithing video. You can do some absurd things like making 100k plus value two handed swords at low level and making harpoons that sell for 250k+ out of wood and crappy metal. Once you have as much money as you want the high value weapons make great gifts to lords.
Well, I Never knew violence could be so entertaining.
"Why would you retreat into the enemy?"
The Imperial Commissar would like to know your location.
I always played Warband like this. Maybe not as many archers, but a lot!
Nice i like segmented videos but i also like the multi episodic ones
Another gane I didn't know... great video, super interesting UwU
I definitely want to see more mount and blade :)
love these weird challenges :)
Id like the prisoner only series to continue that one seemed like you had the most fun lol
You better do more was a great watch
Love the M&B vids, I'd like to see you continue the archer playthrough, take a castle and declare war on everyone. See how long you can hold it.🥴
I need more of this
watched all 15 minutes, what an experience
this was uploaded 6 minutes ago
I would love to see more mounting and blades
"Warfare has always involved hitting people"
Ah yes, indeed. I do concur indubitably.
Please sir I love this stuff Please continue the series
5 Days is much too long a time of a wait, the feeling of an eternity between true enjoyment.
would love to see more!
just found my new favorite channel
