Bannerlord Tactics: Companions in Blood Vol. 1: Introducing our 40 Elite Companions

Welcome back future Khans, Emperors, Jarls and Sultans of Calradia! We're continuing to show our late-game campaign including huge battles, and winning(most) of these battles by deploying advanced tactics to overcome superior enemy forces. Our entire channel is dedicated to helping players improve their field command and if that's your desire, or just want to see huge, dramatic battles, you've come to the right place.
This small side series is a branch from my main, extremely late-game campaign in which we explore the destructive killing power of an ALL COMPANION army. Most companions are highly advanced killing machines and some are practically gods of war, so let's fire this up, take on some foes and see what this nasty force can handle. This is episode 1 in the series.
This channel and series of battles were the result of my crazy war against all of Calradia in which army after enemy after assaults out small Kingdom and our small forces dig in, fight back and give it all they have got.
Please comment, like and subscribe if you're interested in more of my ultra-late-game campaign, that may end up ending in utter despair, but that's the challenge of it. Any challenge where success is assured is no challenge at all.
My campaign is an extremely late-game campaign where I am resolved to give no peace to these scum Kingdoms attacking me - seven of the eight have been at war for years, with only Sturgia at a neutral stance. My family of warriors is now large though and with what remaining strength and valor we can must, we stand against the map of Calradia.
Join me on this adventure if you like huge battles, the use of advanced tactical maneuvers and intense Bannerlord gameplay, and subscribe to my channel if you want to follow along. This campaign is very lightly modded:
I use five to seven mods:
Time Pass Mod: Realistic Lighting for battles and town scenes(the time CHANGES):
www.nexusmods....
RTS Mod(for better unit flag colors/overhead view and using other characters in battle):
www.nexusmods....
Immersive Battlefields:
A great mod that adds battle cries, roaring troops and more:
www.nexusmods....
Lord Retinue Uptier(Makes the enemy forces stronger, much less peasants and lower ranked troops)
www.nexusmods....
Improved AI Troops(Also makes enemy lords and their armies tougher by giving them a higher daily xp rate. This means you'll routinely face armies with HUGE numbers of the highest tier units, sometimes four or five times the normal amount in vanilla Bannerlord): www.nexusmods....
Death for all: This mod allows you to set the rate at which nobles die more often. I want both a harder challenging late-game but also a more realistic game. If you're cut down with a massive aserai two-handed axe, you shouldn't just be injured 99.9% of the time. It's a very customizable mod so you can just a little more death or set the death rate so high you get several deaths every battle. The number I often like is '10', some deaths but not a massacre of nobles...
www.nexusmods....
I also use the Dismemberment Plus Mod: It's highly customizable and works seamlessly with the new beta(and versions back to 1.28). I thoroughly recommend it if you enjoy carnage!:
steamcommunity...
I've also used Realistic Battle Mod in the past and highly recommend it for Ai and battle realism BUT I find the pace too slow for my taste and the AI is actually rather predictable after a half dozen battles. Still I wanted to put a plug in for it here, it's a GREAT mod and highly configurable. www.nexusmods....
Much of the music and inspiration for this and other videos in the channel are inspired by Epic History TV - probably THE best channel on youtube(and the internet for that matter) covering the Napoleonic wars. With amazing work Epic History TV takes you through the dramatic and incredibly story of Napoleon covering all of his most famous battles. I HIGHLY recommend it.

Private Douglas reporting in for gamer duty. I loved your breakdown of how to form a killbox. Unfortunately my Banner Kings modded game crashed when I besiege a Khuzait castle. Breaks my experience but your videos make me want to come back.

Great first episode of this series. I like the introduction to the clan and showing a bit of what they can do (but not too much). I'm looking forward to seeing where this series takes you. There was an issue with the upload of my 1v120 vid. I'm sorry about that. I think I've resolved the issue and it's reuploading now. In the future I'll wait till my videos are successfully uploaded before I ask you to watch them.

Why you don't use smithing? 4FP in smith converting in 1 Skill Point in Vig/Ctr (rotatable), so you can max up perks to 330 only with 9SP in this. And rotate 1SP in endurance with 1FP in one handed + 1FP in two handed. So one and two handed need for max up only 9SP and 4FP. Perks 150 and 225 in smithing.

I did with my original character and I know it's a great way to make a stronger overall warrior/leader, but I just can't fathom the smithing grind again. Maybe again some other day - but I appreciate your suggestion, it IS correct.

Companions start to 'stack' their powers once you get 10-12 high level ones. Then you have a thunderous force...

Pretty cool. I think its going to be absolutely insane what you will be able to do with this small group. While you are on the smaller scale where kiting won't be as crucial I think it would be visually cool to try and run circle infantry and try to keep some archers in the middle but I know with such a small scale of guys and trying to actually use circle formation the juice might not be worth the squeeze.

@HeadlessHorsemanProductions 4 ай бұрын

I've tried(and failed) a few times with circle defenses against an enemy but I have found success using this in another way than just archers. I'll have a demonstration video coming soon :)

@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions That was awesome! So Cinematic with the background music too. I need to do some research on what music I'm allowed to use in my videos. Grygor was awesome. Not to say that Zuvan isn't but if it were me, I know I'd miss Grygor. It's kinda funny how a person can create an attachment to data and pixels, but I do.

@@angrygoldfish9607 Yep, I was stunned when he was killed in battle. :( Ah well, that's what makes battles intense too though, the fact that the characters CAN die adds to the intensity.
