Bannerlord Bridge Defense for the Ages, as 10,000 Enemy Coalition forces swarm our Capital Epicrotea

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Heya fellas, part 2 of this monster brawl. Often the question is HOW do you get such gigantic battles? Well my campaign is such an extremely LONG campaign that many of the enemy forces are mature with very high level lords. I have an easier option for you though. This mod below(which I haven't used much YET), allows you to artificially boost enemy forces to an insane level. I was recommended this mod and I even saw the guy who recommended it facing an army of19,000. Not kidding! One army. So here ya go, tinker with the settings and enjoy massive battles(then come back to learn tactics if you're losing hahah!): www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/6002

[@JugglingJuggalos]

Thanks. Say you win all of these wars, will you occupy your enemies' land? Take their castles and build your kingdom?

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

@@JugglingJuggalos Yep, if things go better than expected. I may not try and conquer the ENTIRE map as it gets pretty obviously OVER after you have half the map(and tedious), but the plan would be to envelope the map from one side while we play defense on the other.

[@JugglingJuggalos]

@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions That'll be great content!

[@hehexD96]

So You dont use any mods in this campain ? Great battle btw. Love to watch that !

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

@@hehexD96 No, the mods are listed in the video description. The main mod that effects the strength of the AI armies is Lord Retinue Uptier, which makes their army stronger.

[@SnaketheJake87]

Please god. We want this game again, blended with Manorlord, but with the vanilla capacity for 10k troops rendered.

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

It would look incredible with 10,000 troops on the field but boy would it be hard to manage

[@mortezamasoudi8054]

I personally enjoy when you talk about historical fights

[@pocketsand9127]

Agreed. It tickles my caveman brain with violence while historical facts assault my smooth brain at the same.

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

lol, funny analogy. I'll keep it rippin' fellas. Thanks for the feedback.

[@pocketsand9127]

Me: ready to have an epic siege defense. Glass next to me of fine scotch, neat. I'm surrounded by leatherbound books. Also me: snapping my legs accidentally falling off the wall into an enemy gangbang within the first 3 minutes and losing. 10/10 would recommend this game

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Hahaha we've all been there for sure brother I can't tell you how many times I've faced planted or done something I regretted instantly in banner lord. I've just gotten to an extremely high experience level so they're far in a few in between now... By the way you're epic siege is tomorrow and it's another doozy!

[@jaydaytoday3548]

I actually was part of a 10000 man battle back in the early days of bannerlord. There you use to be a mod called bannerlord tweeks that allowed you to tweak almost every setting in the game like increasing party limits for you and your nobles and castle garrisons. The battle took so long that is was fatigued at the end and the cherry on top it crashed right after the battle finished so i had to fight the battle over again.

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

10,000 twice? lol, jeez... THIS was already grueling... Twice and I'd have to do it another day.

[@enesabube]

This guy is another level

[@Bern_il_Cinq]

Gotta be sore, not to mention Zuvan 😂

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Thanks mate, just VERY experienced :D

[@ptahh-gn8di]

when it comes to history + battles and great commentary im all for it id rather stay in my chair eat some snacks and watch your clips and i also love how funny it is when i hear you say things like " no bounty for you mfs "

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

haha, I appreciate that greatly mate

[@jared8331]

I like the commentary. Keep up the massive battles brother! It's what I watch when I'm bored at work :D

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Lucky fella to watch at work, but then again I get to PLAY at works, so we're both very lucky!

[@LyrikLondon-e2s]

Commentary is great especially when your diving into strategic parts of history, it’s like playing a game and learning about one of the most interesting parts of history

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Thanks for the feedback, I'll continue to try and deliver both some history and fun facts while we do battle. Cheers!

[@thewallie3]

Love your commentary during the video. Shows that you are passionate about the thing you're doing. And personally, i appreciate the lessons from history that you will throw in. Keep up the good work!

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Thanks, will do! I greatly appreciate the feedback.

[@WakenBaken]

I'm glad I'm not the only one dropping my weapon during a battle. My dumbass usually doesn't even notice till I start hitting 2s with my fist

[@WakenBaken]

Your commentary is great how it is. I mostly listen while multitasking, so the explanations and details are perfect bro. Hell ramble on if you feel like it 😂

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Thanks! Glad to be worthy of your time!

[@rockwest001]

Part 2, let's go!

[@nick2910.]

All I can say is WOW and HOW

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Thanks! I didn't use this mod here but if you want massive battles, take a look at this mod: www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/6002

[@drahzio]

These battles are actually insane for a late game run.

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Yeah we've had a little bit of help over the years for a mods but mostly it's from massively mature kingdoms all enraged and in a Perma war against us

[@aBeekeepersLife]

Man, that was a real epic battle! I like your commentary while fighting, so much so that i sometimes miss it while i am fighting my own bannerlord battles 😊

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

lol! Well, if I get around to it, someday, I'll narrate or play other people's difficult battles and they can get a little bit of both...

[@tarzan12235]

10k is just crazy! keep up the good work btw my grandpas grandpas grandpas dad fought in the battle of Leipzig for the sweds and two of his horses got shot down while he was sitting on them. Hope to see more of these crazy battles in the future

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Amazing family history! Leipzig was one of the most important battles in recent history. A lot of attention to Waterloo, but Napoleon FELL at Leipzig.

[@delcarsdungeon]

Wooooo another one already? You're editing is getting even better as well. Coming from an older dog that reads too much, 'm in the camp of don't change a thing, and ff the intricacies of nuanced language elude your watchers, that reflects a limitation of their own comprehension, not a deficiency in the expression itself.

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

And you don't learn unless you endeavor to expand your horizons. Cheers and thanks for the advice!

[@AaronSpringett]

Warlord effort!! During these epic battles just pausing with the commentary while in the most hectic situations can add a element of suspense. Otherwise the channel is rad. 💪😎⚔️

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

I tend to think that's what others want too, thanks for the feedback, it's super useful.

[@rampart236]

Fantastic two videos. Love the campaign & enjoy the commentary over the fighting, please continue w/ that! I learn a lot from listening to it

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Thanks, will do!

[@MalcomDhill]

Waaaaaaah! This is so cool, incredible battle, thanks Zuvan!!!

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

You got it brother, my pleasure!(literally)

[@kehlynjarvis3358]

You are the man! I love your content and it inspires me to be a better Bannerlord! Keep it up friend :)

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Thanks brother, happy to inspire and indeed others here have inspired me too

[@steffens260]

Imagine a multiplayer campaign. You join up with 100 others totaling 10,000. You look across the bridge and see this guy. $#!+

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

I'd rather see all 10,000 subscribers here lined up on our side of the bank against a million of those F1 f3 clowns

[@corym.johnson7241]

I like it when you have luls in your commentary. It's natural in everyday speech. Also enjoy the historical lessons.

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Noted, Will continue to have lulls and probably time them with critical moments in battlers...

[@steffens260]

I enjoy the commentary but moments of silence aren’t awkward. Reminds me of early LegendOfTotalWar commentary (not forced, just natural albeit “caffeinated” commentary). Really glad you picked back up your axe btw. Your 40 some vs 1000 offensive siege with companions had you drop your weapon early on and not noticed for the longest time.

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

I still can't decide my favorite weapon I'd really like the fast hammer it's for sure the most fun I'm just not sure if it's the most effective

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Oh and thank you for the feedback I appreciate that!

[@DarcyAllenStrong]

Rest that wrist up battle Brother, you've done your ancestors proud today!

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Thought I replied here, but thanks! More to come, you know it

[@jamesdungan6065]

😂 less commentary? Dude I could listen to you talk about Napoleonic tactics for days. Keep up the great work!

[@goinklersupreme]

That cliffhanger had me bustin fam

[@mariusbehr925]

Hot damn been waiting for this, part one was a banger

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Stoked you fellas are enjoying it!

[@ZacharyDarkes]

Watching two parts of this is insanely I couldn't even imagine trying to play it.

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Wore me the fuck out, just like the siege of 8000...

[@MaStummyHurt]

Think you got the right amount of commentary/energy brother. Definitely a lot of youtubers that get way too animated, but wouldn’t say you fall under that category. Wanted to ask if you have videos showing how to craft your weapons?

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

No but I'm getting pretty close to trying to find a cheat code how to artificially regain smithing skill so that I can make an episode. I don't have any Smiths anymore, my original character in The campaign was the Smith and that was literally 70 game years ago.

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

And I appreciate the feedback thank you!

[@wannacheats3676]

no need to change way nor the amount of you talking, that natural way of you expressing emotions and sharing pure experience with viewers is what makes this channel many people's favorite, bannerlord themed atleast

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Wow thank you, mighty high praise but also nice to know I can just be myself and others enjoy. Just like my marriage, it's the best long-term arrangement. Cheers!

[@anubisftn]

Congratz! Nicely done.

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Thanks! 10,000 down 100,000 to go LOL

[@anubisftn]

@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions Oh, I decided to give the Time Pass mod a try and was curious: What settings do you use to make time seem to pass during a battle? I'm assuming that 1.0 IRL won't be doing that.

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

@@anubisftn you can edit it, so somewhere between 5 and 10 is what I prefer. If you set it too fast, you'll get bizarre lighting effects. It's better at a rate like 3-5 where it's more gradual. 15+ is pretty jarring sometimes.

[@Whoops374]

More historical facts during battle!

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

I'll do my best - thanks for the feedback.

[@dongerdongson9474]

Amazing battle! Shame you didn’t show the loot screen, even though it’s abysmal loot at best most of the time lol.

[@fkzx77AkaJonasTornqvist]

I have never seen nothing like this!🎉 🥳👍❤️

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

It was craaaazy

[@Davestrong420]

I personally like the current balance you have of talking/silence. You’re only quiet when things are intense, like you said in the episode, and it fits with watching it cause we’re focusing on what you’re focused on. And definitely never stop cursing I think it fits and I do the same thing while I’m playing. This is a lot of fun. I would have liked it if both parts were in the same episode, I like the long episodes. I’m not saying every time but I live on a mountain with shitty service so it’s easier for me to let a long video load for a bit then watch it all at once. Like a movie haha sorry, long comment

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Understood! I think the overwhelming majority of people prefer one episode which surprises me. My wife can't handle more than 20 minutes conversation with me so I remain surprised that guys are enjoying 60 plus minutes of me monologuing LOL. Thanks for all the feedback! I wish I lived on a mountain lol

[@wasdawow4608]

You're gonna need to have an even bigger battle to celebrate 10k subs here pretty soon.

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

lol, I CAN say that there is another battle in this size range coming up. We'll see if the timing is right haha!

[@SnaketheJake87]

What’s your favorite way to play this game? Conquest for me got boring really quick. I wanna try a new game where I just try to hold on to what I have. I can’t mod, so the ai will be vanilla, so I wish I knew how to provoke the map.

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

I think if I was playing on console and wanted a real challenge I would start a new campaign play it like normal but and this is where it gets contrived, I would let the map develop then stall fifteen years have children then and join the weakest Kingdom to try and help the win

[@MrSquigglies]

Pretty sure the bridge would have collapsed from that amount of bodies haha I do wish bodies would be more physical on the ground, like epic battle simulator.

[@MrSquigglies]

Also "screening" is also a visual tactic in real life. It would be like having a smokescreen in front of your formation to hide how your troops are arrayed.

lol, interesting, yeah be amusing if you had to trudge through all the bodies...
