- Now that Bannerlord is popular, I no longer have to constantly explain to my friends that the game isn't called "Mountain Blade". Still, I kind of miss it, as it gave me an excuse to talk about Mount and Blade. I had to make this video to fill the void.

"Horse archers are a blight upon mankind."
- Everyone who ever fought the Mongols
If they brought infantry that is. The Hungarians made short work of the mongol spam the second time they came thanks to European war horses and armor.
or Huns, or Pechenegs, or Seljuks or.. oh no!
@@keerf255 Even the Byzantians struggled to defeat steppe riders, they had to create a whole war book on how to deal with them, and even then you could only fight them in specific conditions and with strict discipline and their own horse archers. It took the paradigm shift to castle building and the longbow (and many other factors ofc) to drive off steppe warfare as a credible threat to early medieval Europe.
@Alvi Syahri Strategikon.
In the game, Crossbows and light cav are the best option. Crossbows for Hunting the horses and light cav to Deal with Them afterwards.
I looked to the comments and saw above zero, so disappointed.
I'm disappointed that no matter
What ending it is Farid dies
Well u contributed lol XD
Well at least we last til 30mins
Yeah me too
Then why did you comment
Trust me, having 53 different types of infantry all mixing with each other has never had any negative effects whatsoever. Just ask the Austro-Hungarian Empire!
Pope Julius II: .... *TRIGGERED*
On the serious side, I know some good units can be handicapped when mixed with other good units. For example, having pike soldiers mixed with sword soldiers limit the damage capacity of the pike soldiers. Likewise, fast soldiers can get killed easily if the rest of the army cant catch up with them.
Ever heard of the Battle of Karansebes?
This one single combat displays the advantages of having a heterogen army.

@@GenkiGanbare hahahahja you guys are singing the song!!
Who needs cohesive lines when you can wheel 200 horse archers and delete armies twice your size
I know right? I only get the pleb infantry when I make an army stack for wining sieges and then complaining as to why my calvary archers are dieing shooting at the walls.
Why bother with either when you can stand archers at the top of a hill and achieve even better ratios.
For me it's Shock Cavalry for the win (Literally) since AI armies, seem to be about 75-85% recruits when I play, so heavy shock cavalry just absolute crush them, letting me wipe out armies that out number me five or six to one with no casualties on my own side
@@weldonwin shock cav is fine when used with tanky troops as you can get an excellent "hammer and anvil" flank on enemy armies after you wipe their cav. But they can get mauled when outnumbered with spear heavy troops, they are also expensive, and the best heavy cav tend to be rare.
That said archer cav are probably better because they whittle down every other army in the game, they are cheap, and can be obtained on mass from the start. The only thing they can't do is seige castles well.
I had a 60 manpower Kuhzait army destroy a 400 manpower southern empire army with minimal losses.
One time I was besieging a kuzait settlment with 500 men and an army of 700 attacked me, I was not bothered at first because I have destroyed southern empire armies with worse odds, but then when I loaded up the battle I shit myself seeing 124 horse archers riding towards me.
I love that theres so many playstyles. I only use Horse/Spear jabby jabberson so horse archers dont bother me. I just spam back and forth spear/shield and Leeroy Jenkins into them. Enemy Cavs affect my playstyle much worse.
I'm surprised they only has 124 horse archers
For reaaaaal hahahahahaha
everytime i start a battle against some Kuzait, i know the fight is gonna take 20 minutes to end because these guys DON'T STOP firing archers and running with horseees
NOW FOR WRAITH NOW FOR RUIN AND THE WORLDS ENDING!!!!

“If I could go back in time I would kill the first ever horse” that made me laugh, no one has ever said that in history up to this point
He killed the first guy to have that thought
Turns out that the ecological niche of the horse gets filled by even more annoying giraffes that can fit 2 giraffe archers on back.
"The southern empire troops are blue" sir, they are purple, one of three purples
FAX THO FAX
They are clearly blue
@@tendiesoffmyplate9085 it is purple literally due to the fact the empire split into 3, so each of those factions is a shade of the same color, which is purple.
@@OneRichMofo Im colorblind. How dare you assault my disability. I demand reparations.
They're Indigo
In my games Sturgia always gets stomped by the Khuzaits and the Vlandians almost immediately.
And Battania can end up conquering everyone around them in my games too. Their tight city position can actually help them reinforce each other. But yeah, I've had friends say Battania gets wiped off the map in their games.
Man, I tried to save Sturgia as a mercenary, every castle I captured was just retaken by the Khuzait.
Sturgia is my favorite faction, but they're always getting stomped in my games.
@@OfficialFedHater I like building own faction the most, but if trying to prop up other factions Sturgia and Aserai need the most carrying usually. Their incompetence is bad enough that it might even be harder than just grinding enemies to death with own faction before taking a holding or two and peacing out repeatedly.
@@OfficialFedHater dont try to take land if your goal is to save sturgia. instead fight the enemy army and kill their men. best way is to arrive in defense for a town when your enemies are sieging or, go siege an enemy town but don't attack, just wait till the enemy gathers an army to attack you. by the time you kill about 2000 men, their faction needs like a half year to recover before they can take down towns again.
@@storm0fnova Every time I took down an Lord, I'd capture them and imprison them in a town and they'd be out in two days with an army the same size as the one I took out.
Maybe they fixed that, but I just stopped helping Sturgia because of that.
Now they just get stomped every game.
They said no to the LEGO ideas project for bionicle sorry

I've missed Bannerlord content ever since your series ended. Thanks for filling the void
For some reason, the Vlandian missile units always have really low melee survivability even though they have shields, but somehow the Battanian archers can win most melee confrontations because they have BIG SWORDS.
I realize this is an old comment but for the rest perusing this comment section: the shields for the vlandian xbows are there for missile protection. When they bend down to reload, they essentially put the big shield over themselves by bending down.
@@hi14993 Yeah, like pavise shields for Venetians or like Medieval Italian crossbowmen.
@@hi14993 They also use it as a slide in the renowned annual butterfest.
Bold words to say for someone in throat singing distance
From my experience:
Vlandia has the best knights
Sturgia has the best Shield troopers and 2H'ers against shielders
Khuzait has the best horse archers
Aserai is just Khuzait's little brother
Battania has best foot archers, but a pain to recruit
Empire is an all-around, strong archers, footmen and cavalry
I don't mind any tips, this is just from my observations of M&B
Battania actually also has the best two-handers and melee infantry because Fian Champions are insane and have the highest two handed and athletics stats of any infantry in the game and high quality armor and fuck-off greatswords, you know, on top of their machine guns we call bows.
In patch 1.6.0. Imperial cav destroys Vlandian cav, but Vlandia always has more because Imperial cav is noble only while Vlandia has both knights and light cav.
Sturgia's troops suck, they're behind Imperial legions and Vlandian sergeants. Even the 2handed axeman is behind Battanian Falxman, Imperial Menavliaton and Vlandian Voulgier. Sturgians seriously need a buff.
@@mortache Haven't played in a long time now, that's a shame, Sturgians used to be the best shock troops on foot in Warband, Odd that a 2 handed sword is better against shielders than a two handed axe, I could understand if it was against polearms or non-shielded units and cavs.
Wait, what? Elite Menavliaton are better, aren't they spear users?
I used those mainly against cav units.
@@norXmal Menavliatons can swing their polearms too. When I was running around with 1000 Khan's Guards, the only casualties I'd get are from those guys. Swinging polearms are OP in this game. Especially if they manage to whack the head with it. Check the video of Veteran Falxmen vs every other troops by a channel with chicken in its name
Garios: The military should rule the Empire because they have swords.
Me: Can't argue with that logic.
In my experience, Battania steamrolled both Sturgia and the Western Empire before I could even learn how to play the game.
Even joined in on an army battle where Sturgia outnumbered the Battanias 600 to 200, guess what, battanians sat on a hill and rained the worst volley i've ever seen in my life
What can i say except Archer Supremacy.
1:51 Technically hes advocating for a Republic, but the point stands.
Yeah
But also i like your pfp
That bionicle blue pin comment brought forth an emotion I all but forgot about
I've missed that pumped up kicks execution theme ; -;
I haven’t gotten past the first line in your video and I’m commenting to say you earns any like for making my laugh so much with the line “We should have known something was wrong with 2020 when Bannerlord actually came out.”
When he said outro right before khuzaits, I was literally about to close the video
It’s interesting to see what’s changed since this video came out horse archers aren’t nearly as OP and Sturgia is usually the first faction to die now with the empire factions just divvying up the land between the three of them.
I love the way his second channel become more of a main one
Its basically a "cuuurve ball"
He has a main channel?
I don't get it
@@lordsucuk9316 he has a second channel where he uploads stream highlights almost daily and it gets more views than his main channel most of the time
Cant argue with garios, him having all the weapons is verrrrryyy convincing.
"Battania doesn't last long"
Rare occasions: Battania destroys everything
Sturgia is my favorite faction. I was cracking up with the other ones and was curious about how he would present Sturgia. I was not disappointed.
Played BannerLord SinglePlayer for the first time recently and I went for the Sturgians, besides how annoying it is, watching Sturgian Leaders basically stalemate themselves with other factions, they were fun constantly desolating the Empire boys
The chad Sturgian grindset:
- Heroic Line Breaker is the best infantry.
- Druzhinnik. Yeah, just Druzhinnik.
- Kill all Battanians please.
- Rhagaea sucks.
- Vlandia sucks.
- "SHIELD WALL!"
- Northern Decorated Two-Handed Axe
- "PLEASE RAGANVAD DECLARE WAR ON BATTANIA BEFORE THE TROOPS' WAGES KILL MY TREASURY!!"
Battania is my favorite faction just because they’re so fucked at start. I love slowly building out buffer states surrounding them and turning the relatively disadvantageous start into a recruiting power-house. Seriously, I just do a quick circuit of the tightly bunched together towns and villages and am back to full strength and ready to demolish some more armies all over again
I totally agree! They are the best choice, if you wanna feel the challenge of guerilla warfare. Plus, I decided to stay on foot all game, like their nobles do, and I didn't foresaw it but being at 280 athletics at 30 years old is aaaawesome. I used to lead my armies uphill while heavy armored and only the cavs could keep up, hilarious! That and the insane HP bonus, reduced falling damage, feels like a monster.
@@mehdifchouch4313 Are you even playing mount and blade bannerlord if you are not hitting 1000s consistently with your 300 reach swingable couchable 2H polearm?
@@bronzejourney5784 Oy, gotta play several builds to truly grasp what warfare is ! Vlandian-style lancing is fun, but my favorite will still be Khergit arrow and glaive rampaging.
Furthermore, fighting on horseback is easy! On the ground, the need of careful planning granted me better tactical insight and real fu***ng adrenaline rushes!
5:28 , **a distant throat singing could be heard**
😂😂 IMO Mongols- I mean- Khuzait are the best
This may well be the best vid I've watched today. It randomly came up in my feed and I'm so glad I clicked on it. I'm still laughing about the olives/holy text mistranslation. Definitely hitting subscribe.
Goodness gracious, I genuinely appreciate your humor. The segue commitment with the Skyrim bit got me so good.
obo: horse archer bad
me with horse archer only army: :o
U're a bad person
I see, You are a man of culture
My tip for fighting Khuzit with ground only. You need shields, and Spearman behind them. If you're Empire or Valendia back then up with Crossbows to take help your wall take down the lancers. Then circle formation into shield wall, put your self and your ranged units inside. Wait the arrows and return fire with preferably with Crossbows. When they're out of ammo, shields and spears. If you got javelin throwers save them for them the horses pass by. Its not impossible, just a bit of extra work.
You discovered pike and shot warfare, my friend
Spanish tercios bro
@@deusetveritas Lmao, basically. Just a little more medieval
came here for some lore, left with a barrell of laughs. Amazing video.
This was the Most entertaining CZcams video ever
3:51 WHAT I love their pants!
I love your Sturgia/Skyrim Lore 😂
Dude! That was the most hilarious review I have seen in a fair while. SUBSCRIBED!
Came for the video title, subscribed due to the awesomeness of the commentary.
I would love more videos on Mount and Blade, either Warband or Bannerlord!
Have you seen his series on his second channel
bruh, did you not see his mesage near the end?
Oboe: *mentions Bionicles*
Me: *happy nostalgia noises*
Was not expecting this to be so good, subscribed
Good channel glad to find it. I hope you get better bc you deserve more
I’ve spend nearly 7776000 seconds on this game, but I still refused to say I’m addicted to it even though I was struggling by various of BUGs and majority of time I was trying to report and resolve those BUGs. So far, I’m amazed by vast of creative mods, and thanks for those mods, without those mods I can’t even continue.
My experience with the Azerai is vastly different. I completely eliminated the Empire and Husn Fulq has always been with the Azerais.
Okay, I have never seen your CZcams channel before and it randomly got recommended but I’m glad it was. That was hilarious and entertaining all the way through 😂 SUBBED
Maybe one of the funniest video I've seen so far
Oh god that intro. HAHA I too when I saw that Bannerlord came out I was like "Wait what? That's not right."
why did I hear a OoooAAAoooOoooAAAoooAoAA in the back of my head during the Stormcloak part of the video?
Never watched your channel before, glad I did, earned your self a sub.
One of my favorite videos
"Your video is being raided by Monchug's party of Kuzhait"
In my games(yes, it happened in 3 different games) Sturgia gets wiped out first and is mostly occupied by Vlandia. All the other empire factions are pretty weak aswell.
Yes, same. Vlandia crushes Sturgia bc their army stinks, Battania just stays at war with Vlandia, the Northern Empire always immediately gets creamed, and the rest of the factions gang up on the Western Empire later on.
i jsut got the game today and tryin to learn about it and this has to be the best video out there , full of facts and jokes .
you crack me up man :D, love the content
Bannerlord being my first mount and blade experience. I chose to be a vassal for battania and whipped out the khuzait because I saw the threat early on. Literally executed every noble and clan member except the main king. My relationships plummeted with my own faction but battania now rules over everything
"We get dirty, and the world stays clean."
mate i laughed the whole way through this ahahahah. great job XD
this wasnt informative at all. im more confused.
Guides and reviews don't get any better than this.
This was both amusing and informative
Thank
"Candy can pants." That's a new one.
Sturgian nobles definitely has the most ridiculous pants, bc you can easily recognize them and take out
This was hilarious 😂 and accurate.
This is a very good video wich made me laugh AND helped me figure out i wanna destroy the khuzeits in my next playthrough
This is perhaps the greatest bannerlord comedy video ever
You know you can trust him when he says horse power is garbage because he is from the USA and is an expert for bad units of measurement
true

It depicts the legendary Lord Sanders of Kentucky
1 1/2 Mins in the video and I LOLed really hard :) nice vid, was really fun to watch, watched until the end and still laughing, what a fantastic word dude :)
Best Faction Guide i´ve ever seen ;D
i always make my own kingdom actually. i use this video to decide with who i want to ally xD
also making your own kingdom is frustrating af xD
This guy sounds like the Heavy Rain #1 Streamer
I rlly wasnt ready for how funny this video was
Hit and run archers with heavy cav to provide support is the ultimate combo. A sheild wall is an bonus when enemy cav outnumbers yours.

And here I thought it said “Fashion” not “Factions”.
Whoops
lord oboe has finaly uploaded
It's a lot of fun having a ragtag outfit composed of a variety of pure cavalry from different factions. You can outrun anyone, raid caravans, and carry out hit and runs on armies.
did they fix that every faction declares war on you every 30 days after establishing a kingdom?
Yes
@@jordanhanson5702 thx

Bonkles and butterlords that is combination that i didnt expect. And its glorious.
the music at the end is wild.
all we need now is a breakdown of the twitch made smb3 teams
Only when he's 2 weeks into uploading the next series.
Played my first game and I went with the Sturgians or rather, The Russian/Viking Nation
I love how good their heavy soldiers are, though it’s hard to tell what their true potential is as all 3 Empires declared war on the Sturgians and I forgot to add the “Kill Nobles” button during the beginning, real shame as I probably would’ve killed 20 of their nobles by now. The entire campaign feels like one massive stalemate.
Love the medieval pumped up kicks outro
I just couldn't stop laughing. Great job man!
They need a naval mode.... especially just so the Azerai can leave the God Dang desert. Also Viking Long boats.....
Best faction? For me kingdom of rhodoks, jk
Only true mount and blade veterans will understand this
nah bro it's kingdom of nords. although we can both agree that swadia is trash at least.

i love that little twist towards sturgia
Damn dude great one timers! Got me good!
I would never join the Roman Empire if it existed in mount and blade.
That's normies in comparison to my Ptolematic bois.
I'm going to buy this game.
Clever video well done 👍
Best video ive seen so far
Beyond Two Souls?
Will you review the dlc of ace combat 7?
That intro sentence. Pure gold!
The ending execution song is the best part of the video
More like reasons not the play the game until they add some content to actually make it worth playing
Southern Empire is blue? Am I colour blind? Its a dark purple.
More blue than purple, but it does have a tint of purple in it.
Such a great video and comment .
That closing tune is freaking perfect! 😂😂😂
