"no one really goes up to fisdnar" it is my favorite vaegir town because you can raid it like weekly and no one cares no one goes up there!
How can y'all forget about Aldelen and Kulum, like who goes there, literally I have -200 relationship.
Actually the Sarranids are incredibly good. The reason is because they train very quickly, they are cheaper than most others, and the Sarranid Mamlukes are on par with some of the best units in the game.
Your channel name is absolute genius.
it serves the purpose of instructing folks on how to pronounce my name and being punny
I didn’t even know you could spam the task button. This makes grinding favor so much easier!
went with the sultans, the first fief they gave me was a looted village in Swadia but I'd also have to travel over the Khans territory to get to it.
ProTipe: to increase the richness of your villages sell them your stuff and buy it back. It gets the village money ,but you do need a lot of money to do this
"He's going to get peed on and fall over"...I died
Eyeglass lenses
I'm so excited about this one!
Taking this guide is actually really working out!
Great guide I must say. Learned a lot so far, will keep watching until I learn even more.
Im in love with using huscarls, the only problem is the time and experience it takes to make them
Ps, it is also good to hav a good relation with the kings powerful friends that own major fiefs, so they can put in the good word for you too. Giving a higher chance of getting fiefs yourself
I try to only raid villages that are not soon joining my faction (be annexed), having a village with negative attitude towards me is a real drag to income and recruiting
I captured king Ragnar and threw him into a pit of snakes.
I only have 1 target for that game
*getting swadia to my side and destroying Sultan Hakim's army*
Going to buy this in 2017 lol just finding this and it looks good
Pack of Storm lmao here I am. Gotta play hollow knight and DMC5 and just saw this game. Needless to say I’m not playing anything else for a while.
Really nice videos love these guides keep up the good work! :)
Defending the Sarranides are fairly easy actually because they only have 3 entrance to the main land. Others are blocked by mountains.
Awesome guide series. Thank you for this.
"Hey there King, how ya doing?" *drop kick to crotch, made me laugh way too hard.
Its definitely personal preference and I love the rhodoks. Their army and terrian speak to my soul. If only they had calvary, but thats why i hit swadia first after conquering rhodoks.
If you watched the full video, type "Thor's Left Bicep" if you picked nords haha. Great vid Beau!
just started playing this game and these video are helping tons thanks :)
Can't wait for the next video!
Is it just my game or is Rhodok always chillin
Rhodoks are probably the hardest faction to conquer because their combination of crossbowmen and polearm-wielding infantry is perfect for defending castles and their mountainous land
I have king rangnar as a prisoner
I have Sultan Hakim, King Yaroglek, Sanjar Khan, and King Harlaus as prisoner
UnKnownPerson185 Gaming what are we supposed to do when we catch kings or counts?
I like how well rounded the vaegirs are. But my favorite faction is probably swadians because their knights are very chunky.
I joined rhodoks and got durigsem which is right in between the mountains just north of dunmar. So far I havent had any issues defending it. I only have to worry about mountain bandits attacking it.
I typically join the Nords because they sport some beastly infantry and you can quickly start taking over large armies if you keep your troops close. So what usually happens is that the Nords(with your help of course) push the Veigers back till they are left only with Rivacheg while the Rodox rape Swadia. Then the two victorious factions start fighting and because of their superior infantry(and the help of yous truly) the Nords are able to get the Swadian plain. Up till this point you should have good relations with a bunch of the lords through helping them in battles and with your king(talking with him every time after you mop the floor with some defenseless lore really helps), probably one or two towns or at least a few castles and the starting village(being a marshal with a bit of luck). From there you just revolt against Ragnar when he doesn't let you have another fief quickly make your NPCs lords and capture as much of the empire you've built up to this point before the lords realise what's going on. Form there on it's just a cleaning up work.
Just got into this game it's so addictive ,at the start do you just train up recruits instead of hiring mercenaries ?
Vaegirs are love. Vaegirs are life.
1) Their cities are all in a square rather than a line (makes travelling a lot easier).
2) Ironworks in Curaw and Dyeworks in Rivacheg won't be sequestered, because you won't be in war with them (cuz you're one of them of course).
BUUUUTTTT I prefer Rhodoks troops. :(
***** That's because they are specifically designed to counter the Nords. :P
+Μаρκ Εκεvстаλερ what are Vaegirs troops like he skips over them in the video
kindestdemon1 They have a pretty even mix of infantry, cavalry, and archers, BUT their archers are the second best in the game (behind Rhodoks' archers)
TIL you can just spam NPCs to ask if they need a task done for them. Good to know when I play the game later.
what if i want to join the sarranids
Usually my whole army is made up of usually 70 swadian knights at about 150 days. Great army that destroys everyone, but the faction (nobles) and their armies to me in the swadian kingdom are super squishy, and the troops are fairly expensive (2k deners a week). Usually after a while, even if I do not attack the swadian kingdom, the swadians just get demolished without my help by either the rhodoks or the nords. Idk, I usually have trouble with moral during end game because I usually take the swadian kingdom first because easy castles... anyways, the 2 largest and most difficult kingdoms that destroy my army are the khergit and the Rhodoks because of their lances and polearms, but everything else in the game is easy to destroy, even castles and towns with just an army of 75 knights. I just usually go with nords because they can war with most of the factions at the same time while destroying them, but once you get to the khergit and (especially) the Rhodoks it is hard to defeat even armies of 50 without taking somewhat major losses.
PositiveManiac that's why I ally with them. I become friends with almost all the lords then once I'm high enough I start a revolt do a few battles then let the country tear itself apart. No matter who wins the forts will bearly have any defenders due to all the fighting
Is this one of those games where you're screwed if you don't do everything right from the get-go, or can you recover from mistakes?
You can recover, I have lost soldiers many times but it's easy to get them back etc
sometimes you may lose your entire army and it seems you will never recover or it will take a long time it really wont. it isn't too hard to train an army but I have quit many times because I lose my entire army but if you mess up at the start it is recoverable
yep lost my first army after getting our ass handed to us by sea raiders. even lost 2 companions, only found 1 of them though. After that my second and current army has been murdering shit.
How many trained troops should I have before joining a faction? I mean, when you joina faction and start going into wars, you're gonna need to protect your villages
@@arbperzhaku6496 Well, since i never got an answer and finished warband a couple times since then, i like to go around with 50+ tier 4 or 5 troops, while having built a workshop in a couple of cities, so that income covers the upkeep of my army
Before i join swadia i has get task from king Graveth(king of nords) to collect taxes from Sargoth.I collected taxes and run away.Now he attacked me and i am prisoner xD
Lol i wondered what would happen if i dipped on the lord. Was it possible to fight lol or they had too many soldiers?
the keep asking for task is really handy to know
I know this is late but if you do get an army of Swadian Knights they are gonna ruin you so if you get broke just go to The Vaigers coastline and spam kill sea raiders just use tactics when u get 2 giant sea raider groups and I mean big like 49
in my game the swedians are pretty much dead. the rhodoks and the nords have all there land and they have no city anymore and just a few castels what do i have to do now?
With the Nords you most likely get Ruvar but the thing that sucks is the fact that there is a sea raider landing right next to Ruvar so 60% of the time Ruvar is looted
Amazing mic quality
I like playing with Vaegirs.You get Vaegir Knights and you can easily avoid the Sea Raiders early
BUt if u get attacked by swadians knights you will lose fast bcs swadians horsemans are strongest
If u join swadia and upgrade almost all of ur army to swadian knight u will win almost every clash/land battle but u will lose almost everytime in sige.
I tend to be mercenaries first, raiding town, then build economic all over the faction I want to join, The vaegir dyework are amazing. Rivacheg gives me 1200 a week, You also have mercenaries payout. and all of those economic. After I have around 3/4 economy building setup, I tend to actually join after. to get a village for more wages. and well, then take over castle for more economy.
Just bought this game and am using this as a guide! Any LP ideas? :)
my game doesn't look like this
my friend gifted it too me about a week ago whats wrong?
The king gave me rduna a kegirt place I raided 5 times affection for me -100 now it's at -40 still a long way to go
Love when king harlaus told u can he borrow the a guy u Kno u was like oh God no I was like that too when king y from vaegrir wanted to borrow my homie bonuck
How do I change faction after I've sided with one
I look at my renown and we had the exact same stats
Swaydians, Kherigites, and Sarranides?
Your pronunciation is so silly :P
They aren't silly, those names at funky and we all pronounce them differently. Maybe your the one pronouncing them weird, or me, or maybe him, we don't really know.
I'm not really that well known for my pronunciation but you get the idea ;)
I know the game has Turkish devs, so personally I say it with Turkish pronunciation in mind :)
"Shapeshift or whatever" - made me laugh. I think it's a lot more fun if he pronounces those words his own way, especially the names of companions. Those names are weird anyway, so I enjoy hearing everyone's own funny versions hehe.
Hmmm I know I want to join Swadia but I don’t know when I should, how much money and people/level should I have? Thanks
SOO WHEN I GO TO KING HALL THERE IS NO KING AND WHEN I GO TO OTHER PLACES KING I DONT GET THE OPTION THAT U GOT
is fun, i wanted join the snow faction, but speak with rebel princes and now be mistake have to conquer all swadia alone xD
I am subbing.
I was a vassal for the nords and they decided the literally take over swadia to the point of swadia being left with 3 castles...
THX YOU VERY MUCH
Hellp Beau!!! I have a problem. I play my first campaign with Nords. Got pretty far. Swadia and Vaegyrs are almost gone. I am a marshall right now. Have about 100 men army. My problem is that whenever i take city or castle king never gives it to me. And i am only in Nord faction to actualy do something. Is that a bug or can i do something to make king like me more and give me stuff? Thinking about starting my own kingdom if he does not give me something in return. Tnx.
Have to have high enough relations and honour with him. If he keeps denying it make your own kingdom and go from there.
My army consists out of Nord Veterans, Elite Knights, and Huscarls. In the field, no one has a chance against me but against Vaegir archers and Rhodok Crossbows in Villages and Castles.. I have no chance...
how do you move the map view without moving your character ?
Might have worked it out by now but just in case you're still wondering, it's WASD to move the map around
I chose nords becouse I had productive enterprises in rodocks and in nords as well
so what is the best faction
another thing to note. Rhoduk spearmen are totally useless against heavy calvary. In open battle. a line of nords will hold up better against everything. Just hold the line and squish them together. nothing can penetrate it. Horse archers will be a annoying. But with that many shields. That big. That's all they will be.
+KyleBurnsMusic I haven't played the game much but I joined the Rhoduks and we wiped the Swadia faction off the map they own 1 castle and 1 village so ya I disagree with them being useless against heavy cavalryNords though they kick my ass every time without fail
How did you get vassal immediately, i only got mercenary and the king is all like "you have not proven yorself, take your sword to my enemis"
A Mountain Blade video not narrated by a Swede? Crazy!
One of my companions got really mad when I raided a village. Do they get angry and leave if you raid enough villages?
0flamebreath0 look at his companion guide, it'll tell you who to get, he also has a super helpful spreadsheet in the description
I used to side with the rhodoks because of the terrain and the troops until i got bored of them doing crusades on the sarranid sultanate every game.
the fact that Swadia is surrounded by everyone except one is a streangth, not a weakness.
the king is the last person i want to increase my relationship with, bcs hes the one that will disappear with the faction, while all the other lords can be persuaded to join ur faction.
if u got bad relations with king of your faction he will not give u castles,cities...
Vaegirs knigth are just to good and i dont know why but i like king yaroglek ( vaegirs )
So I have to find every companion first?
So my companions left me they was fighting is it possible to get them back should have wrote this in companion video but can't be bothered lol
My king is awesome! I retook Harim from the Sarranids by myself and he gave it to me and I went from making 2000 denars a week to making 20000 denars a week.
So......you joined up with the horse banging shits you call khergit?
I hate those guys so much those lancers of theirs are annoying but they arent useful at all on my side with their tough armor and couched lance damage...
...plus get this....I was on like my third run right? and sanjar khan attacked me with 57 against my 45 troops I destroy him and set him loose dont capture him nothing... a few days later he comes back with 154 and crushes me......would've lost all my troops there if not for emir atis of the sarranid. so yeah I hate em all of em.
+MrMarkedMantis (looking back I seem a bit aggressive with that first statement and just want to say im playing to my character and nothing more.)
Now im playing as a male character and i joined vaygiers. They are the best faction in my opinion. In all the games they beat the nords and khiergits
the way my current games ran is i was a merc for the rhodoks for a month left khan wantd me to be a vasaal did that for about three ish months killed the sand ppl i didnt help at all just raided their town for moneys the whole time and then left them went back to being a merc for rhodoks
Please help I know this is a simple question but what button do I press so that loot automatically goes from the defeated enemy's inventory in to my inventory because all the picking it up and dragging it is driving me crazy.
i accidentally joined a faction that i didnt want to be in.
Do i have to talk to the king to be released? or any noble?
And you start out with Tosdhar
*Huge camera pan*
Yeah it's already looted.
really shitty.
Yea he gave me a village that was right in the middle of the green castles....it's always being raided and useless lol
Canyon F However that is hownthe gamenworks- you gain a little respect for being a landowner, but you are given a village so crappy you almost never get anything out of it.
How do you become a soldier
I can't get king harlaus to show up? Do I have to get more renown?
No, you have to find him. Normally not at the capital, I was made a Vassal during a seige
Good
litterally 2 minutes ago i tried to join the nords faction but it wont let me?
"take your sword to my enemies and prove that you are worth"
what do i have to do?
I did it with 100 renown. Idk why but some Boyar guy who was on the side of the Nord's rivals had like 30 men and came to fight me so i took him prisoner and I was made a vassal straight away
So here's a Dumb/noobish question... at what relationship lvl with the king does he start giving you you just dues? Cause I upped him to like 15 and he was giving everything I took away to random crappy lords
typically you'd wait an in game year until you're one of the longest lords who've been with that faction and up to lvl 30 or 45 with shit tons of renown.I got 5 major cities and about twelve castles and villages just by doing that
I always thought the sarranids were the coolest faction.
Yeah I am kinda tired of knights from other rpgs I played. I prefer playing as a mongol or a sarranid.
Noob Move: go into battle with a lord without considering battle order. So.....if the order of your troops in your party screen is the order they enter the battle in, Whats an ideal order in your opinion? Troops then companions ?
I put companions at the top since they don't die and eventually get really strong. They're especially good for attacking bandit lairs.
Hey, my relationsship with Swadia is 16, I have 134 renown and still I can't join Swadia. Help?
For me he says go figth my enemies and then you will become my vassal .
What shud i do i am new to the game
Sanita Osa Raise you renown, you can do it by killing bandits, winning tournaments or completing quests
Always rhodok then conquer Swadia for knights then conquer nords for archers that's broken
Oh Yeah I do raid villages. FIGHT SMALLER PARTY LORDS
oh and I expand my Village a lot so I can Get more income.
I also make a lot of Land in Towns
But then Bam. The game broke and crashes
Whenever I try to load the word up
( DECAPTION AND DICEMBER MOD )
So I changed to The native one
The one where you download from steam
and start again as swadia
Fun fact : I joined the nord later after.
Currently defeated 2 lord and currently is a mercenaries of nord
Nords and Rhodoks. Allways!
I play on ps4 anyone know how to kick on the ps4?
Bravo Company Major Nelson its X on xbone my guess would be square on ps4 just check your controls
I find the birds get wiped out early on in the game
At one point I had so many mercenaries that it took 1000 denars a week to pay for it. And I had no village
how do you get dudes on horses? from recruits ? help!
JusticeSlaya Rhodoks and Nords dont have calvary. But you can hire some in Taverns
Why does your map look so different whan mine. Did the dev's update the map at some point in the last 5 year's?
Sarranid for da win
I choose the vaegir without knowing about the range unit focus, oh god, so many defeats against fucking Sea raiders
Protip: Never, ever ally with Swadia. I ran three games in a row just to test and without interference, Swadia was wiped out within the first four months of the game. Vaegirs took Dhirim and Uxhal and Nords took Suno and Praven. King Harlaus the Fat of Swadia kept throwing feasts in fucking Rindyar Castle while his capital city was under siege.
The Avenger at Ilipa lol
Yeah, with the player one their side, any faction can conquer Calradia. I guess I just noticed this because I like to play female characters for the added challenge, which extends the early game quite significantly, allowing time for utter chaos to reign on the map.
Weirdly Swadia seem to conquer the nords straight away in the games i've played to the point I joined them just so I could get the renown from helping them, haven't once seen Swadia be wiped out in any of my games. Though King Harlaus does throw feasts like no tomorrow the fat bastard.
The Avenger at Ilipa di would go with Nord but I'm basicly exiled so ya
For me Swadia is taking over the whole map
