Bannerlord Tactics Skill World Conquest: Better Than Combat?

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

Comments, questions, corrections, and critiques welcome.

[@ShaunTheCrazyOne]

I've found the best way to level up tactics is to sneak into an allied castle that's under siege, just doing that will earn you several skill points.

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

Ah, okay. I actually never even thought to do that. Very good information for anyone who does a tactics run in the future.

[@doblingamez1731]

Also giving up troops to get away gives a decent amount

[@rockybalboa5611]

You get tactic for every troop that fall in battle. Just take all units from your companion's party's and enjoy XP.

[@MrChames-Gaming]

Will try this too, thanks!

[@crazyguy0_0]

Useful. Thanks

[@DrGreenMachine795]

you my sir received a new sub!!!! very good editing and content. very good and clear explanations. keep up this kind of content and quality!!!!!

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

Awesome, thank you very much, sir!

[@krawdad4600]

I always felt that medicine took forever to train, but tactics is a completely different beast!

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

Auto-battle will raise your medicine skill fast. Plenty of casualties.

[@MrChames-Gaming]

Nice! Being a very casual gamer, this tactics skill would be very helpful. Thanks for sharing!

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

Yes, sir. Try it out. Thanks for watching.

[@RPLAsmodeus]

I found a money bug on Xbox. I captured Danustica and sold my Hero prisoners at the tavern I own the town so I can look in the dungeon The prisoners I just sold are in the dungeon So I take them out and sell them at the tavern again They go back to the dungeon Repeat this process a bunch of times and I now have 5 million gold

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

Wish you didn't tell me this. I'm going to be tempted now.

[@RPLAsmodeus]

This method can work great sometimes I'm a save scummer I died 3 times trying to capture Ortongard Simulated it out of frustration and not only did my guys win, I only lost 3 troops lol

[@Vens10n]

15:32 if you get to 50% support it costs a lot more influence for the ruler to go against the council’s decision so generally you will get it if you hit that mark.

[@tylermiller1606]

We will watch your career with great interest

[@HaughsCausedit]

You can earn tactics points when commanding troops in battle, im not sure how significant the amount is though. And some skills help in commanded battles, so you might be able to physically lead some battles if you wanted to mix it up to break the monotony. Just noticed this is your first video, good luck to you sir. Already subbed looking forward to more.

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

Yes, great point. I think a really good strategy could be to do battles early on so you can solo looters and stuff like that, and then switch to auto battle later on when you are dominant just to finish up the playthrough. Thank you very much for the sub!

@@HistoricalGamingKZbin seems like the less you move or the more you are behind units ranks it up? something like that, because the few battles I've had where I've just sat there behind my line and gave some basic orders is when I notice tactics click up like 2-3 levels.

[@nothingtoseehere8299]

To quickly level your tactics get as many troops as you can get and raid enemy lord villages for troops. When they catch you sacrifice some soldiers for power leveling. It gives a lot of xp and you can get up to 200-250 with 5 perks and 8 cunning in about 1 in-game year

[@ResonantRTS]

nice video. I gotta try this

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

Wow, it's Resonant. Thank you! Love your channel!

Leaving a comment for the algorithm

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

Appreciate it!

[@calvnmorrs356]

Thanks for the video. I think after watching this video I can say I prefer the combat playthrough, but tactics playthrough if you want to actually beat the game 😂❤️

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

I'd recommend starting off with combat, and if you get bored but still want to finish, you can switch to auto-battle.

[@ferret3998]

You can cheese enemies if you sneak into an allied settelmeent being sieged (This gives skill points) and autoresolve greatly favors you defending castles, LIKE HUGELY

[@Shamankzn]

That was a pleasant watch, such a nice change from the shouty and meme laden videos that seem to be the norm. This concept, however, looks like it would frustrate the hell out of me, at some point, don't you just have to grab a pole arm and get involved? A similar video, but using the trader max "Everything has its price" perk would be interesting also. Subbed in the hope of seeing more great content, thanks.

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

Thank you very much!

[@MONKEYDLUFFY-or4kg]

Nice video!

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

Thank you, sir.

[@zandohrtv]

great debut

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

Thank you!

[@TheSpencerHaines]

Ironically this is pretty much how I play, except I like to actually command the bigger, closer battles when I need to

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

Yes, I think a hybrid approach is the way to go.

[@doblingamez1731]

This is literally how I play the game after hour 5 of a playthrough

[@warmad2596]

Probably the one thing that bugged me about his game was choosing between one or the other between perks. Like just let me unlock them both dangit... lol

[@warmad2596]

I think Tactics would be great when paired with the top skills for "Captains" and "Party Leader" stuff to give all the units nice buffs.

[@thomasnlynch]

There is a mod on PC that lets you take both perks. I did a playthrough with it and I became op very fast. It's probably best you can't.

[@warmad2596]

@@thomasnlynch I am aware of it and love it. I believe it's best we can and instead of picking one of the other kind of wish they had it so we could earn them all one unlock at a time. Same with the enemy lords as well. Which is why it bugs me. Personally, they have a great concept just I disagree with the route they took with it is all.

[@GazMCFCok]

Subbed, great video, like you've been doing it for years. Do you have a plan for what's coming next?

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

Thank you very much. General plan is do games based (if sometimes loosely) on history. Things like Bannerlord, CK3, etc. Videos probably won't be very frequent as the focus right now has to be on improving the quality, not just pumping out subpar content. Also, these take some time to complete just by their nature. For example, even with send troops, this playthrough took several weeks to complete.

[@GazMCFCok]

@@HistoricalGamingKZbin Of course, take your time; quality over quantity - I'm patiently waiting for the next one

[@Mors2108]

I'm only halfway into the video so i'm not sure if you mention this later BUT in my experience i've noticed that using commands in a live battle will yield you tactics rank ups as well as only using simulations. If anyone has a concrete answer if this is more or less than just sim would be nice to know!

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

I didn't mention it in the video, but you are right that it does get trained in live battle as well. However, without specifically testing it, just going off my memory of playing both ways, I think doing auto-battles trains it much faster.

[@randylahey4831]

you can level it also by let you captains in mary to take over which would be F6 button

[@rockybalboa5611]

Field battles are excellent to simulate but always checking what army composition and advantages and disadvantages are for battlefield. But never simulate when you are injured because probably no bonuses are used. I was fighting 1050+900garison vs 2800 empires. Able to fight them 3x to cut down numbers (TW should fix this hack) and 900x800 simulation goes badly with alot of killed units. Have to look deeper to analyse this situation. I could take them easy with defending but I like to level up leadership and give all troops to my companion which benefits from my 275 tactic army leader perk.

[@piratefrogg]

Why didnt you break into the caste at 11:54 , you would have 100% won the battle. I mean for a simulating battle build a siege defense is pretty much the best case szenario right?

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

To be perfectly honest, I think you're 100% correct now that you mention it. I got into the habit early on in my playing days of never using that because I don't like to take the casualties. But in this situation it would have been beneficial.

[@philjohnson1744]

I rarely get more than halfway through a cunning playthrough before giving up.

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

Then this might be the build for you. You can finish a playthrough a lot faster.

[@connahbourton5097]

Wait this is your first video? That’s pretty impressive. the mic volume is a tad too low for the volume of the music but other than that it’s perfect.

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

Thank you very much for the feedback. I'll work on the volume going forward.

[@davebennett5069]

Music's way too loud sir. But an interesting video!

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

Thanks for the feedback. I'll get that fixed on the next one.

[@victorjuarez2095]

If I played this way for myself I’d like to still fight in the tourneys. Iirc most fighting skills say “for your formation” but are there any that affect simulated battles?

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

I think a hybrid approach will work and might even be ideal. However, any perk for captains will not apply to autobatttle.

[@The_Custos]

Get roguery up to the no negative traits on items, and you will get so many legendary items from one good battle.

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

Yeah, roguery is good.

[@jasondimaano8003]

There is a big difference in just sending troops and on battle. Sending troops has high casualties than on battle mode.

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

Yup, huge difference. Conducting the battle is much more effective.

[@SindoriTV]

Hey look at that im the 100th sub

[@RicWalker]

Tactics wins you siege defenses. The sht my tactics skill managed to pull off... my 100 and the 200 militia slaughtered 2000 empire attackers. no way in hell to defend this difference in manual battle. but the hidden bonus the wall level of the town or castle gives to defenders in auto resolve, absolutely crazy.

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

Yeah, the wall level is huge. When I'm doing a normal playthrough, I rarely bother with taking down the walls. But in this playthrough, taking down the walls was pretty much a necessity.

[@TheRealKiRBEY]

music is a bit loud but nice

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

Thank you for the feedback. I'll get it fixed.

[@maxxgrumpy]

u know... I really love this game, the big problem is that this game is cool until you get about 100 units, then it becomes the same shit, the AI fights always the same i do not like to play with mods like realist battles.. so it gets boring super fast, I play 10min and turn off everytime

[@zandohrtv]

facts

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

Yup. That's what led to me to do this.

[@ShamanicArts]

funny. I must have 1000 hrs in the game & tactics is one of my essential skills, especially late game. breaking in to defend sieges s the only way to play siege defense, & field battles between 2 armies of 5k each are just too long & should always just be autoresolved. men are cheap, time is precious ( especially when most casualties tend to be lower tier troops which can be easily replenished with no negative penalty , by just forcing notables of villages you are at war with to give you recruits )

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

Agreed. That's how I'll play in the future. Start off with battles, then switch to auto-battle later on.

[@eriklarson4504]

how long did it take you to finish?

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

About 3 weeks.

You can complete the game before seeing the tactic skill being useful 😂

[@lovis1188]

I feel like for specifially this Challenge, you could have just given yourself the desired amount of tactics, instead of grinding it for hours on end. But you do you, maybe the grind has some Advantage. Also as im watching this video, you seem to be more or less ignoring the medic trait and siege traits, which give massive advantages to simulated battles

[@BajoniGoblin254]

I slightly disagree with you. In my opinion he couldve modified the game to level up Tactics faster, but just giving yourself a thousand tactics seems a bit too cheat-y.

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

For a short guide on the tactics skill, that would probably be a good idea. But this was more of a test of its practical application in a playthrough, including how difficult it is to level up.

[@gundarvarr1024]

Tactic level faster IN COMBAT. Just spam command and act like a true lord commanding the battle. STAYS IN THE BACK

[@HistoricalGamingYouTube]

Are you sure, man? I know it levels in combat, but I don't remember it leveling faster than auto-battle.
