- 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.

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

@@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?
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

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?

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
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.
"I need a voice that can intimidate"
It startled my cat so it worked lol.
For a minute I zoned out and went - huh not a single joke about tea, Spiffing Brit has changed :D
I’m sure any army would BOW down to yours, Archery Army 🏹
Heh, good one.
Every army would QUIVER before him
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? 🤣
"Warfare has always involved hitting people." Words of the most wise one.
I love Mount & Blade. You playing this is right in line imo. Keep it up!
“What are you doing Stepp-bandit?”
Just started rewatching Mount and Blade playthroughs randomly again too, great timing
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."
Vlandian sharpshooters only...... seeing 250 of them mow down a group of horse archers is one of life's simple pleasures.
"then we got bows, the longest of all weapons"
*The sling will remember this*
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
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.
We love you, you magnificent Amphibian of Ambiguity!
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.
Watching your videos is like speed running church 🙏🏻
5:10 what are you doing step bandit
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 🤷🏻♀️
here's me 1 am in the MORNING after watching invincible good show btw
watched all 15 minutes, what an experience
this was uploaded 6 minutes ago
"Warfare has always involved hitting people"
Ah yes, indeed. I do concur indubitably.
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...
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!
1:40 COME ON I WAS SO CLOSE
Love mount and blade with AA's narration style. Makes for great content every time. You're great bro keep it coming

Love your videos on mount and blade. It's very nice that you uploaded another one.
Well, I Never knew violence could be so entertaining.
Me: Sneezes
Ambiguousamphibian: 00:03:09
Me: "Thank you... oh wait."
This was really entertaining. The sassy commenting mixing forced enthusiasm with roasting the game engine was gold.
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 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.
as a Turkish guy which is quaranteened for over two weeks that's exactly what i needed to get my mental health recover. THANKS 🙃
What are you doing? Step Bandit?
This was good, I liked this. Factorio death world was also quite pleasing.
God I've been missing Mount and Blade Bannerlord content. I'm happy you picked it back up, it's awesome!
Archers, OP. Especially when you command to hold fire until the time is right
"Then came swords, then came spears"
I know it's a year old video and a lot of people probably know this already but this is actually how you cheese through the game. Get only archers and then destroy even the most organized armies even when they have cav. Get into a fight then run when they get close. I have no idea if they've patched this tactic tho since I haven't played bannerlord in such a long time. I don't even know why this is in my recommendation but it was an entertaining watch.
I really enjoy your episodic videos, so please don't abandon that format!
You get around shields by using horse archers. Just f1 f2 and give your enemy formation a wide berth. Make sure your circle counter clockwise. Retreat your forces when your boys run out of arrows. Sturgians gave me the most trouble, but I was able to destroy an army of 600 with my 120 khans guards.
You can't mooch a castle while a mercenary. You only get a free castle if you are sworn to them or if you take it without anyone while not serving anyone.
Yup I thought he would've known that by now. I wanted to tell him the whole time I was watching xD
Definitely post some more mount and blade I love that
The video structure reminds me a lot of how The Spiffing Brit structures his. Was enjoyable to watch.
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. :)
His characters voice killed me for about 10 minutes... this is gonna be a good video XD
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.
"... a shield wall of peasants." About spat out my coffee lmao.
It's surprising effective
The part sayin' victory was hilarious. 5:20
0:34 *angry knights catapulting dead cows into enemy towns to spread disease noises*
I always played Warband like this. Maybe not as many archers, but a lot!
*"What are you doing steppe bandits?"*
Please do more of these, of any videos, your commentary makes the videos 1000% times better like the moon walking dude lol
Solo challenge: Farm torunies until you are famous enough for a merc contract. Invest in horses, buy obscene supplies and join armies.
ambiguousamphibian: *"Don't touch me, bro."*
Thanks ambiguousamphibian. Very cool
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
MORE MOUNT AND BLADE !
Horse archers are OP!
Been vibing as a merc in Mount and Blade Warband as I'm watching this. 🙂
This has very spiff energy
And a similarly luxurious voice
War...war never changes. It's basically all fists, just with different ranges and destructive strength.
Ah yes, the Spiffing Brit way of avoiding battle in Bannerlord.
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.
You don’t need to capture steppe bandits, just get regular Khuzait recruits (or aserai) and train them into horse archers. You need to buy them horses but it’s far easier in bulk than steppe bandits.
This is why I go crazy on battania archers they are the best archers in the game and when you upgrade to the fian champions they don't just have high level bow skill and 2 quivers but a 2 handed sword and a high 2 handed skill making them have the ability to block out the sun with arrows but will cut down the enemy like any infantryman
Amphibian... Amphibian that isn't how you get castles. Fiefs are awarded by votes, not by participation. It defaults to being owned by the ruler's clan, and then like a day later a vote is held for who gets it. I don't know how you've supposedly played this game a lot and not known that
Another gane I didn't know... great video, super interesting UwU
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.
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!
When this game first went into early access, I bought it cause I loved warband. Well I instantly saw the value of the Palatinate archer.... I got an army of like 250 archers and well... let's just say no cavalry charge made it more than 100 feet from spawn, and infantry were dead before they reached the half way point.
10/10 would play again.
The archer not shooting is the smartest one you have. Waiting till they got close enough to actually hit them
You need to be a proper vassal to get a fief. You can formally do that at clan lvl 3. Also, you don't want a castle, they don't make enough money. You want a town.
Gotta see more! That was awesome
Great videos as always, id definitely watch more of this gameplay. Keep up the great content!
4:58 What are you doing, step bandit?
This is the spiffing brit if he drank coffee
I would love to see more mounting and blades
It was basically what happened in Western Europe for like a hundred years armies were just Giant brigades of archers.
With maybe some Cavalry and hopes to Corral the enemy archers into the line of fire
Hey, have you ever heard of amazing cultivation simulator?, it's basically magic kung fu rimworld and seems like it would be right up your alley!
Go full on horse cavalry. Seriously, look it up. Once you get enough horse archers, you just send them in with a charge command and watch as they orbit around the enemy formation in a glorious counterclockwise circle. Enemy has a shield wall circle formation? No problem. Charge in the horse archers and they'll break formation. Retreat the horse archers and watch as they charge hopelessly into your flurry of arrows. Rinse repeat.

_"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
Just discovered your channel, getting some Sseth vibes and I can dig it. cool videos pimp
Wow! The spliffing brit has a really good American Accent!!!
