BANNERLORD but I Become the BANDIT KING!

This is the third part of a series where I play as a lone bandit trying to rise to the top in Mount and Blade: Bannerlord
The goal in this playthrough is to climb from the bottom to the top in the criminal underworld of Calradia, starting as a recruit and working my way up to becoming the BANDIT KING! All while being at war with EVERY FACTION in the game!
Make sure to check out @Simo and his Bannerlord series, which inspired me to make this one!
Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is a strategy action role-playing video game developed and published by TaleWorlds Entertainment. It is a prequel to Mount & Blade: Warband, a stand-alone expansion for the 2008 game Mount & Blade. Bannerlord takes place 210 years before its predecessor, with a setting inspired by the historical Migration Period.
Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is a strategy/action role-playing game. The fundamental gameplay premise is the same as previous entries in the series: the player builds up a party of soldiers and performs quests on an overhead campaign map, with battles being played out on battlefields that allow the player to personally engage in combat alongside their troops.

[@nervousman_1417]

What's the mod called by chance since the freelancer mod isn't working for bannerlord if that's the mod that was used

[@tomshepard9050]

@@nervousman_1417 it is freelancer but u gotta down it to 1.6.5. Play as soldier don’t got this option. far as I know. Gonna downgrade mine too to play this.

[@nervousman_1417]

21:30 Think you added a medieval version of BFG division, and if it isnt, it has a great vibe to it. good job man

[@onevid1298]

" your mothers? You're going the wrong way, she's in the castle,in my bed!" What a battle cry 👏 🤣

[@Douma66]

It is extremely effective of making your enemys confused lol 😂

[@ez3079]

This man is like the mighty mr sins himself . Always changing his proffesions

[@jakeking974]

Yeah, I don't know how you didn't notice on Tristan's playthrough, but castles are, realistically, broken as hell. It's basically a deathtrap if you use it right, which the AI can't compete with actual strategy during sieges. I've never had a castle or city taken from me since I took the first one and learned that, even extremely outnumbered, a castle is game changer.

[@alexanderthegreat6682]

Historically accurate too

[@lorddukealayeneclipse3317]

As it was in history. The only good way to take a castle is to starve them out. And even that isn't for sure

[@robfus]

IA is not capable to defend properly.

[@brocksnyder5889]

Yeah I've done 250-300 v 1200 and easily won defending castle/cities. Defending is one of my favorite things to do on the game.

[@LuizAlexPhoenix]

Good thing too since you can't recruit as fast as the AI can so you need a way to counter them.

[@Zebo12345678]

The medieval backstreet boys cover did not go unnoticed by me.

[@MrBoodyx]

When I hear Koifish yell "ojojojojjj!" I just imagine a Mongolian man hitting his knee against the edge of a table and then yelling in pain "ojojojojjj!"

[@theprinceofthorns1762]

Around 5:00 I really appreciated the Warband charge theme playing for this glorious battle. This is an amazing series, keep it up!

[@aninditapaul9291]

This is amazing. Hope to see more of both Randall and Tristan.

[@kepone3121]

in the hall of the bandit king

[@cruzaider5339]

Koifish has some pipes, he should try professional throat singing some times

[@cjpoh6094]

This is a very surreal moment, being first, or close to it at least. I shall savor this as much as Koiboi savours frequent discussions about purses and belongings with the peasantry of Calradia First, or something close. Within the first few hundred, at least

[@akramgimmini8165]

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD ! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE ! GOLD FOR LOOTER KING RANDALL!

[@Monkeh516]

HEADS FOR C RAIDER !

[@sarchlalaith8836]

Deploy your spear men around your archers on any raised bit of ground and you'll be better vs cavalry.

[@jakeking974]

I vote you slay lords as fast and as often as you can, and slowly entire clans will die off, leaving castles lordless and ready for taking. Start with the Khuzait, then probably the Sturgians, then I'd say Eastern Empire cause anything else will inevitably involve having to break sieges across the map, maybe even failing to arrive in time. Just imagine the border of your kingdom as the frontlines, you want to keep pushing through instead of trying to get around.

[@LuizAlexPhoenix]

Somehow, the idea of playing as a steppe raider, leading an army of horse archers and heavy shock lancers, seems like a perfect fit for this playstyle. Basically, since everyone in the band is mounted and has a bow on their back, they can just kite and flee from any strong army, then wheel back and charge then once they retreat.

[@matthewsmith4710]

You know with Darius riding around hunting lords as well, perhaps a temporary alliance is in order…

[@codyritner3826]

The speech... the epic music... God bless this man and God Bless Lootoria!

[@petercooper456]

A toast to Randall the true bandit king, may he pillage and plunder for as long as he’s able and may he thwart as many betrayal attempts as he can. It’s been emotional.

[@hildus7222]

It’s always a good day when I get to sit back and enjoy binge watching Koifish. Although I will say, the sound effects you do is possible my favorite part 😂

[@dakkadakkadakka8269]

Holy shit this is awesome. Looking forward to the next episode!

[@donkface8509]

Im pretty sure something like this happened irl, where some madlad decoded to take a castle and defended it against every kingdom that wanted it back and his head on a pike

[@dylanmcshane9976]

ya. Multiple times. theyre called rebels.

[@jacavanheesch4593]

what i want to know if someone in history was ever badass enough to be called the bandit king

[@user-jn7jf3kv6k]

I Cry every time .

[@Njolmir90Greybeard]

"Come with me, I have a funny idea" Sees enemy cavalry "FUNNY IDEA CANCELLED!!" XD

[@TheWoollyFrog]

The bardcore music is always on point.

[@reivercaptain510]

Randall ran roughshod is a favorite folk song among looters to this day.

[@calebbreitner1822]

Any video you make Koifish, I will watch a million times

[@JohnVicres]

Randall has become Venom Snake, and Dinar Castle, Outer Heaven _Just another day in a war without end_

[@AlexDuos]

This is some of the best drama I've seen all week.

[@blecao]

The skulls of the nobles cover the whole gates of the capital of Lotharia as a reminder of DONT MESS WITH US

[@andreasballe7470]

Bandit King Randall the Great and Terrible! His eyes and mind grows ever hungry for the blood of his enemies. Like a wolf, he bites, he bites away!

[@necronzing]

Randall has got a fine castle to be sure... but doesn't such a Bandit King deserve his own CITY!

[@aidenzgamez2605]

The siege at 15:00 was genuinely emotional.

[@sunjimaru0731]

what a HEAD ROLLING Episode.

[@maxjohn6012]

Koifish my man, if you're playing as a bandit I cannot recommend highly enough the virtues of an all-mounted army. Around 50% melee cavalry, and 50% mounted archers. In battle, set the mounted archers to charge, and the melee cavalry to follow you. It's obnoxiously powerful and you get a big bonus to map movement speed (which you can boost further by looting horses and keeping them in your inventory!)

[@captncutlass4050]

Amazing video as always, Koifish! Your videos are one of the things I look forward too each week or so you release them, and I'm always undisappointed.

[@redx0266]

A valiant defence a true bandit king a true free man

[@andresantomattei5876]

To the King!!! It must not be over, we need cheese cow grain!!

[@YunsAvatar]

MORE!!! We Demand MORE! No nobles left in the world! Conquer it all!

[@carbonnerd2]

[@thewanderingbard8455]

Hahah I just realized that some of the background music is bardcore Backstreet boys. Nothing like running down nobles with barish hip hop music

[@christianslaski7143]

What an epic journey

[@yourdaddy5435]

A great series comes to an even greater end. I will miss Randal by knowing he is in his castle fending off every lord in the known world puts ease on my bones. Thanks Koifish, can wait for more content! Well it seemed like it ended but hope Im wrong hahaha

[@pashauzan]

Never underestimate Randall, the Lordslayer
