Bannerlord Tactics: The Great Peasants Revolt of 1154, Episode 2: Death and Taxes

Welcome back future Khans, Emperors, Jarls and Sultans of Calradia!
Who doesn't love a good revolt? The LITTLE guy standing up the oppressive tyranny? Whether you're a fan of revolutions, David Vs. Goliath or just a little vengeance against the Powers than Be, we have a treat for you in this episode...
Episode two continues our enraged peasants as they rampaged about Calradia, holding back the crushing weight of tyranny and facing foes of superior might but less superior intellect. Join us for this series and watch the rise of the little guy.
As requested from a subscriber, we venture into battle with a watered-down force of most middle tier troops and scrubs, disobey our lords and take on our foes in this new mini-series designed to put us into the ranks of a peasant revolt against their lords. In this series, we'll try to thwart the mighty powers of the lords, band together with other low and middle-tier troops and try and beat back the hordes using more brains than brawn. If you want to see more of this series, subscribe or check back once in a while to the playlist.
This series, a side-branch of my late-game campaign, demonstrates how an army of mediocre and weak troops can take on, clash against and even WIN battles against the most powerful armies in Bannerlord, using tactics. This series is designed to inspire players to further their field command to the point where they will fluidly move troops depending on situations, and win battles like a Legend.
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.

Love it brother! Keep it coming!

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Thanks! Will do!

Zuvan picking up a sickle towards the end of hilarious, the leader of the revolution carrying a hammer and sickle.

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

LOL, didn't plan that but you're right, it makes sense... Hammer and Sickle, mauling the powers that be...

[@maxxgrumpy]

I wish someday see you start a campaign from ground zero...

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

I have about four different bannerlord projects that I'm working on right now and I'm still formulating in my mind how much of a campaign I would upload but I definitely hear and appreciate your request. If you can be patient it may be something that I start later on this year.

[@maxxgrumpy]

@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions lovely

[@Taemoco]

I wished Tale Worlds would put some real Peasants like in the "Calradia at War" Mod in where you could raise a Army with Town Guards, Cooks, Butcher and so on, that would be really funny.

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

It would also be realistic! I would love a mod where you could join how rebelling town and be part of their decision making and fight in the rebels army. As far as I know there's no way to do that other than to attack a Kingdom that's attacking rebels

[@pronouncedseven652]

Yeah with that “Party Ai Controls” mod you can set it so where your Ai parties with not upgrade but to a certain level

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

Yeah, right now the mod is not compatible with my current mods, but I'll keep it on the short list so I can use it when it is...

[@pronouncedseven652]

@@HeadlessHorsemanProductionsI’m using all the mods you are plus that one and more.. I wonder why it’s not compatible for you.. well there are a couple you use but I don’t

[@matasjuodzevicius4176]

FREEEEEEDOOOOOOOOM!!!!

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

That's been the worlds main rallying cry for like 500 years!

[@wetworks8]

Already pondering what would be my next campaign or playthrough. Also considering pulling the Pc out of storage or hooking up M&K to xbox. Similarly have issues with Siege's on console,pretty much all the time,Flickering or straight dashboarding is common which is unfortunate as flanking through the city streets whilst your archers take wall tops is highly satisfactory. But to quote a great man... "You think your good with that bow?,you little twat,a cowards weapon. I like to fight a man up close.I like to see a mans face when I put the steel in." Anyone who knows that quote heard it in his voice.

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

lol... I have been working through keep sieges lately and learning what works better/worse, and had some EPIC sieges! Whatever kind of campaign you play, I hope you keep coming back so we can chat and share tactics/stories!

[@wetworks8]

@@HeadlessHorsemanProductions Totally hooked and here to stay.Thee only Bannerlord channel I find and make time to watch,Not knocking any other channel as there are quite a few that put out great content.Everything just hits the mark here every time.

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

@@wetworks8 That's extremely high praise, but I'll keep trying to produce good content and hopefully it improves as I go :)

[@GenericHuman]

I'll just comment for engagement..why is your cursor out of position? Or is it just a recording software thing?

[@HeadlessHorsemanProductions]

I think so, I've noticed this and have tried looking through various settings to see if I can fix it - I use nvidia's geforce experience to record, but I haven't found any options to correct it!
