Bannerlord "300" Challenge, Volume XVIII: Riders of the Storm. 300 Spartans Vs 2,000 Vlandians??

[@jackl4742]

Facing your party size in heavy cav plus 1600 other inf and archers is a nightmare, well played, glad to see you make it out on top!

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

No easy challenge(as the attempts show), but it was incredibly fun to piece this puzzle out...

[@sparkyfromel]

good formations , calm , steady and using the ground , Yes Yes

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Thanks mate, it's a pleasure to meet fellow tacticians!

[@poohberzz]

so glad to see you using battle size !

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Me too, though I can't always use it, it's nice to add in for some variance(and DIFFICULTY!)

[@hmveteran]

These videos are awesome!

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Stoked you think so mate, more to come, our "300" is still upright and foaming at the mouth for more battle!

[@iemandja4208]

Great video, i will definitely use some of the strats next time i play 👍

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Music to my ears bud, hope your next comment is something like, "dude, we @#$(&* WRECKED the enemy with these tactics", because that's my favorite comment I see. Cheers!

[@amritanshdayal3124]

This peekaboo ridge tactic seems to be a mainstay wherever possible, but personally, I'd like to figure out how exactly you pick out battlegrounds/ensure you get certain maps, since it's always very tough for me, to end up with an wide open field map when outnumbered. Also: Sun Tzu did very well state once to his students "Try to avoid dying, that's usually not a very wise tactic."

[@EthanGray-g7r]

I’m convinced you are Sean Strickland

[@Roickt]

Hahaha that's hilarious

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

lol, this is how I recover from fight night, playing some bannerlord in my penthouse mansion...

[@angrygoldfish9607]

Lol

[@adensmith8553]

That a good one, I was thinking the same thing be we all know Strickland doesn't play video games.

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

@@adensmith8553 Maybe he's a long lost cousin or something. My uncle sounds EXACTLY like me on the phone...

[@chrish1872]

Not the music from Requiem for a Dream tho...... 😂😂😂

[@ScarTalon]

Is the battle size mod your using the latest updated one called "BattleSize Updated" by Tzechionz? If yes, have you run into any crashes or issues i should know about before using? If not, could you give me the link to the one you're using? I'd really appreciate it 🙏

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Looking this up today specifically for you bud...: Battlesize mod 1.2.3.0, I think this will work: www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/6784?tab=files I'm also on Bannerlord vanilla 1.2.8.31530 Hope it works for you!

[@ScarTalon]

@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions Yep, thats the one i was guessing you used. Thank you!!!

[@angrygoldfish9607]

Im still watching your videos too Bro, even though its a lot harder while trying to produce an episode a day. This was one for the books. Beautiful stuff. Well worth the 8 attempts. How can you consider ending a series with episodes like this?

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Thanks bud, I don't always see every episode of your campaign but I enjoy when I do(I feel like that beer guy lol), I don't always watch bannerlord content but when I do it's Angry goldfishe's lol)

[@angrygoldfish9607]

[@wesselbooi]

My holidays are ongoing now friend! I have time to watch your campaign now 😁👌

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

@@wesselbooi I'm not playing as much these days because of the weather, but I have enough videos ready to upload that it's all gooood. Enjoy your time off dude.

[@wesselbooi]

@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions thanks brother! I will enjoy it, however The Netherlands has sh*t weather even in the summer 😅 I can always stay inside and watch you guys’ videos 👌

[@jefmorard5923]

After asking some help, I found a mode that increase the lord level it called "StrenghtenAI" I think it's the mode you have forgoten

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Not the same name but it seems you are right - perhaps just a new mod but it looks like it does a lot of the same things...

[@joelhall3820]

I use strengthenAI. I like it on 500XP to lord and enemy troops per day, 2000 gold per day to enemy, and 5 civilian and 5 noble recruits available per day. You will suddenly see armies in the 4-6K range and sometimes approaching 10K doom stacks roaming around filled with maxed lords and all elite troops.

[@DwightEdradaDiaries]

great🎉

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Thanks bud.

[@rockybalboa5611]

I am thinking when you start battle how is the body count ratio. 300 vs 700 or tactic skill do some advantage calculation Like 300 vs 500.

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

This battle size mod makes it instead of 250 vs 750 on the field, 300 vs. 1500ish(because the mod COUNTS horses as men), and a maximum 2,000 total horses and men...

[@ItzAndy25]

Id love to increase battlesize but then i wouldnt be able to move lol. Not enough fos for that

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Needs a strong PC, and gfx card, yeah... Glad I can show folks how awesome it is...

[@DwightEdradaDiaries]

Please answer and give me tips. What happen if I give a Town or castle to my family member? and made them independent and it become there's and not in my control anymore. will they rebel against me? because it's hard to control so many Town or Castle to myself I think. that's why I want to give it to family members .

[@rockybalboa5611]

You can't do that. You can only promote companion, if you want to do it without leveling than Aserai Golden/Falcon is suitable or you can try to promote famele companion and let's see what will happen. I recommend high level companion 25-30lvl to make strong childs within age 45+ and give him your young doughter with all potencial to get a chance to become Clan Leader 10 social and 10 Inteligence. When companion die. Overall if Clan have a fief positive relation and avarage wealth than they will not deflect. You can give him 50k cash if is very poor. I train Companion's for leadership but never hit 250 perk +1 party (1 medicine /2 Leadership /3 Tactics). Social is 5-6 avarage within age 45. They get most leadership if they create Army but you can't control that. If you don't give him spouse it's fine he get his own within few years but her age is probably random and could start 30+. (Best leveling is smelting and smithing +75athletic stamina you can do lvl 22 in few days even low level companions are not an issue anymore) 6fine steel 2h sword gives most XP and orders with 100k reward +40k experience. (Another tip - Find a Clan lvl 4+ where is Lord you can marry and try to recruit them)

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Like he said, you can't give family members cities and castles, but you can marry them into clans within your kingdom(the women), who can then technically own a city inside the kingdom...

[@joelhall3820]

Look up a mod called Improved Garrisons. It lets you que building projects remotely, among other things. You can make your family member a governor for extra bonus perks and control the city remotely via the Improved Garrisons mod menu.

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

@@joelhall3820 Seconded this comment. I've used this some time ago but haven't lately. Joel knows his stuffs.

[@stephenbest8805]

1600 troops

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

At once, yeah....
