- Alright friends, in this episode, we take an in-depth look at one of the tactics we have highlighted on the channel, the Killbox, one of the most destructive tactics that can be employed in the game. Here we employ both the use of the RTS mod to give an overhead, detailed look at this savage tactic and I hope this helps all of you to add this to your tactical 'toolbox'. It's a complex process, but incredibly powerful once you master it.
Welcome back future Khans, Emperors, Jarls and Sultans of Calradia! We're continuing to show our late-game campaign including huge battles, and winning(most) of these battles by deploying advanced tactics to overcome superior enemy forces. Our entire channel is dedicated to helping players improve their field command and if that's your desire, or just want to see huge, dramatic battles, you've come to the right place.
Please comment, like and subscribe if you're interested in more of my ultra-late-game campaign, that may end up ending in utter despair, but that's the challenge of it. Any challenge where success is assured is no challenge at all.
My campaign is an extremely late-game campaign where I am resolved to give no peace to these scum Kingdoms attacking me - seven of the eight have been at war for years, with only Sturgia at a neutral stance. My family of warriors is now large though and with what remaining strength and valor we can must, we stand against the map of Calradia.
Join me on this adventure if you like huge battles, the use of advanced tactical maneuvers and intense Bannerlord gameplay, and subscribe to my channel if you want to follow along. This campaign is very lightly modded:
I use four mods:
Lord Retinue Uptier(Makes the enemy forces stronger, much less peasants and lower ranked troops)
www.nexusmods....
Improved AI Troops(Also makes enemy lords and their armies tougher by giving them a higher daily xp rate. This means you'll routinely face armies with HUGE numbers of the highest tier units, sometimes four or five times the normal amount in vanilla Bannerlord): www.nexusmods....
Death for all: This mod allows you to set the rate at which nobles die more often. I want both a harder challenging late-game but also a more realistic game. If you're cut down with a massive aserai two-handed axe, you shouldn't just be injured 99.9% of the time. It's a very customizable mod so you can just a little more death or set the death rate so high you get several deaths every battle. The number I often like is '10', some deaths but not a massacre of nobles...
www.nexusmods....
I also use the Dismemberment Plus Mod: It's highly customizable and works seamlessly with the new beta(and versions back to 1.28). I thoroughly recommend it if you enjoy carnage!:
steamcommunity...
I've also used Realistic Battle Mod in the past and highly recommend it for Ai and battle realism BUT I find the pace too slow for my taste and the AI is actually rather predictable after a half dozen battles. Still I wanted to put a plug in for it here, it's a GREAT mod and highly configurable. www.nexusmods....
Much of the music and inspiration for this and other videos in the channel are inspired by Epic History TV - probably THE best channel on youtube(and the internet for that matter) covering the Napoleonic wars. With amazing work Epic History TV takes you through the dramatic and incredibly story of Napoleon covering all of his most famous battles. I HIGHLY recommend it.

One is never truly a friend with a sturgian, just a target currently not worth attacking.
lmao, love it.
you're gonna blow up soon, I can feel it. Keep going brother!
Thanks, will do, I'm still 'hard at work', which translates loosely to making these videos and playing Bannerlord at work(in between calls at our Firehouse). Even if the channel doesn't blow up, I'm having a lot of fun fighting these battles and knowing others get to enjoy them later. MANY more episodes coming! :)
@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions looking forward for more!
lfmao imagine you're an enemy unit and you see this commander shouting commands while horse jumping over your entire unit
Hahaha! I hadn't thought of that perspective. Intimidating to be sure. Just flying above you: Infantry, Wall, NOW! Cavalry, Wedge, Charge!!! Enough to make me rout...
damn i could never pull thing like this, will drown in micromanagement for sure( Plus i always play ultrarealistic without identifications, reports, and with 1st view). In conditions like this I would usually apply combo of hit-and-run+ local numerical advantage. And killbox too. But I usually refrain from making so many separate regiments. 1 infantry, two/one archers, two/one cavalry. and actually AI works good for horse skirmishers. Helps to forget of cavalry and focus on managing footmen.
For sure impossible without unit identifications and the UI necessary to see where you're placing troops/who they are, etc. - but I fine it necessary in some cases to kill huge forces of infantry. I think in time bud, you'll command more units and I have a playlist almost custom suited for this, the intermediate tactics series, 10 videos that make it easy to advance from 4 units on the field to 8. Happy hunting!
Not gonna lie, I’ve never wanted to follow someone into the hellfire of battle more than I do watching this man right now
Haha, let's go then, you grab a man-sized shield and long sword, I've got my axe, forward, to death and glory!
@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions on my way brother
maybe I should stop f1 + f3ing
Most certainly! I'm producing an episode right as we speak that shows the clear value of tactics. It's complicated and it has a steep learning curve but once you start getting good at it it's incredibly rewarding. We also have a playlist series for intermediate tactics that helps you advance from a relatively new stage of command to an advanced, dominating stage
😂😂 this was fun, i will try to study this tactics and use it in my playthrough
If you have a hard time setting it up(and timing it), there is an entire playlist that covers the killbox including more instruction/top down views. Hope you can master it because once you do, the REAL fun begins. :)
I'm only 50 hours into this game and I've discovered kill boxes are some of the better tactics. I've gone 500 vs 1100 and won with these methods. Very effective.
Awesome - and that's pretty stunning you're already trying complex tactics at 50 hours! A major prodigy here...
What i usually do is split my legionnaires into 3 groups, my fian in 2 groups, and put them into checkerboard formation the infantry at the front. I have menavliaton at the back as reserve.
My strat always starts by sending khans guard to skirmish, 3 legio on Shield Wall, 2 fian groups on loose formation in the gap between legion, and menavliaton in the middle to charge when the melee start.
During the melee, I'll lead the cataphract to charge the enemy range unit and my khans guard flanking on the other side or behind the enemy if the map is big enough. I dont usually set the melee cav to charge early on because they usually got stuck. I'll just lead them, and later, when the melee starts to break down, I'll send them in for clean up.
This strat works most of the time. The only problem is when facing the khuzaits horse archer. Because my khan's guard usually doing the skirmish to draw the enemy cavs, but khuzaits got superior horse archer so it is troublesome. I need to withdraw my khan's guard early to the fians guard to clean up the horse archer with support from the infantry
Sounds like an excellent plan and something like the tactics I've done as well over my 'bannerlord' career'. You might still benefit from some of the tactics we share but some guys like you just have it figured out already.
@HeadlessHorsemanProductions nah, the fun is in the process. Keep it up, dude. U doing great
@@BoneKrakka Thank you - Hope you come back again some day!
This guy sounds exactly like Sean Strickland
Amazing how often I hear that and not a single other name...
@@HeadlessHorsemanProductionsit’s distinct man but not a bad thing you’re well spoken lol
@@D1ON1S1S I appreciate that mate.
I always use F6 for footman and archers. I comand cavalry and with squere formation dealing charge dmg to the Archers behind the line.
But I hate reinforcement mod. Its always bring enemy to the battlefield but allies never come help to me. Maybe because I am mercancery or I have to low relation? Dont know how that mod use decision logic. There should be option that they offer help for money 100denar for a troop tire level or something like that. (100 units tire 3 = 30.000 denars)
I like the idea of calvary in a square but does it slow them down on a charge? I often use shield-wall.
@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions archers don't wear a shields but thay often use loose formation so horse keep charging. I charging footman only when they are charging my footmans. They don't use shield formation in close combat.
Das a lot of pounding!
Lots!
nice, tell me when i do on full realistic mode. 👍👍
Will do, I think you mean can you pull off this tactic with a newer, less experienced army?
No quarter for the craven!! 🫡😤
NONE!
I want to tell you, very big thanks, from a spanish talker tiny content creator, that recently found this amazing game
De parte de alguien que esta aprendiendo espanol, te doy la bienveneda al canal y agradezco tus cumplidos.
thank you
You're welcome
Great stuff man. And I like the little bits of history. Fun channel.
Thank you brother, I appreciate that! Huge fan of History here and it seems a really good venue to discuss it since sometimes there are lags in battle or between battles...
You will get at least 100K subscribers. Great work.
We'll see, just a small fish but hopefully as people find how effective this kind of tactic is, more will come learn! Thanks for the encouragement!
Outstanding! Thank you for your tips and strategy!
My pleasure, and glad it's helpful!
