Great tips for beginners. But allow me to add some advanced advice on two of your tips: 1. Getting away from an unwinable battle: Many beginners don't realize that you can make your troops retreat from the battle while fighting manually. Just order them to run to the edge of the map before the enemy reaches them and then give the retreat command, so they'll run off the battlefield and flee. When they are gone, ride off the map into that red invisible wall yourself and voila, you escaped the battle unscathed. To be fair, if your party is alone, you often won't manage to really get away with this, because the enemy army will engage you again immediately before you can get away on the campaign map with your scattered and slowed down troops. But in the situation you showed in the beginning of the video, where there is another ally party fighting alongside you, you can totally get away and let that ally take the fall for you. Your party of escaped troops will spawn on the campaign map right beside the battle that'll still go on for a while between the attackers and your abandoned ally, giving you a headstart to move away from the enemy. Also, fleeing from a battle fully replenishes your ammunition even if you get cornered again right away, so if you happen to have some elite horse archers (and/or you are one) and fight an enemy who doesn't have much ranged troops, you can actually wear them down by running circles around them and shooting them from a safe distance, flee when the ammo runs low, rinse and repeat. 2. Spawn suitable companions faster: If you can spare a few hundred gold, just hire any companion you find and if you don't like their stats, strip them of their gear and fire them immediately (you can fire them by talking to them from the clan screen while you are not in a settlement). Firing a companion will cause them to be "lost", so they are effectively taken out of the game as if they were dead and the game spawns a random new wanderer somewhere else. If you just don't hire the ones you don't like, they keep hanging out in various taverns for a long time and the game will be much slower to spawn new ones.

i've been playying for so long and never realized the first one dude to be honest I find your 1st tip more helpful than the entire video

[@dannyboybogdan2356]

I'm not sure about the companion one because I fired one of mine and he is still wandering around.

[@tjpatton8562]

Appreciate that second tip. I'm struggling to find good governors from specific cultures because I took all the good companions already for my party roles.

Great tips theres not many guides for things like this or how to win battles on certain maps.

Raiding villages is kind of bad. Hurts reputation, weakens future conquest, and greatly limits your future loot. Just force them to give goods and farm the militias for influence and gear to sell. Get low on men force them to give recruits. Can run laps around a kingdom doing this and with a good mercenary contract your gonna be making bank. Bonus if enemy lords come to defend. If your past early game mercenary contracts then you dont really need the recourses that they give you for raiding. Better off just taking the town/castle. Although forcing recruits is very helpful during long conquest. There's no negative relation until the final tick of raiding. So you can milk a few ticks and still have the militia back up and going for the next war/lap around the kingdom.

Great vid as always man!

ty!!

[@mykelhedge7299]

One thing I do that is sort of cheesy is cycle retreat from battle when outnumbered. I view it as a way of simulating skirmishes and ambushes as such things are not really modelled in the game, and so not as immersion-breaking…granted the same map spoils this somewhat. You still need to win and kill the opponents, and need to judge when to withdraw or how to engage to maximise damage for minimum losses. So not cheating, but definitely cheesy. Have taken out 600+ stacks with 100 men doing this…though only really works with fian champions or mounted archers. Mostly it just whittles down the enemy as you can still lose.

How do you get the wadar hotblood ? can you make a video on chances for the rare noble horses and are they better than the charge beast Royal destri?

[@stangametutorials]

i can do a horse video, will have to do some research on it, i got it from a battle

[@nestor1234ize]

I got one early in the game from a tournament, was dumb and sold it

[@chrisrudolf9839]

The wadar hotblood is an Aserai noble horse, therefore your best chance to find one to buy is in the Aserai culture cities that are close to horse-breeding villages and in those villages themselves. The chances of one spawning are still quite low there, but you will hardly ever find them outside of Aserai territory, unless an NPC got one as loot and recently sold it there. They also sometimes pop up as a tournament reward, which IMHO is the easiest (and certainly the cheapest!) way to get it. There is also a small chance to get one as battle loot if you fight a big battle against Aserai nobles. Whether it's better than the Royal Destrier might depend on your playstyle, but I prefer it any time, because speed and fast turns IMHO outweigh charge damage. Definitely if you play as horse archer, but even if you do like to charge into close combat and skewer enemies with polearms or mow them down with great axes, high speed and quick turns make you more efficient than a little more charge damage would (plus if you got a little too cocky and find yourself suddenly charged by enemy cavallery while away from the bulk of your troops, it's very handy to be able to outrun anyone). The Royal destrier might be better if you heavily rely on the tactic to repeatedly plough through enemy lines and run down as many at once as you can.

​@@chrisrudolf9839 for additional info, i also already confirmed that wadar horse is the most expensive..24k denars❤ Tournament wtih at least 10 Lords has a chance to get Wadar as reward..

[@chrisrudolf9839]

@@Gitsmasher And just to be complete, I forgot the cheesiest option to get a wadar hotblood: Marry one of your clan members to an Aserai girl with a riding skill of 90+. Unless their clan is very poor, spouses who join your clan usually have top tier equipment including the best horse of their culture, provided they have the required riding skill to equip it. They often even have a spare one, because they have a horse in both their war equipment and their civilian equipment. I haven't actually tried that one with an Aserai spouse yet, but it has worked with an Imperial (Palmatian), a Khuzait (Asaligat) and a Vlandian (Royal Destrier), so it should work with Aserai, too.

How do I get rid of a companion I don't like anymore? one that has weak skills for a better one after I am capped out of companions?

[@TheBitWarrior5]

Talk to them and say I don't need your services anymore

[@chrisrudolf9839]

Important: Talk to them when you are NOT in a town, for some reason the option "I don't need your services anymore" doesn't show up while you are inside a town
