Warlord - Mount and Blade II Bannerlord / Ironman Raider Playthrough / Episode 19

[@elijahbrown8250]

I love this series and no matter how bad it gets treated by the youtube algorithm I will always be sure to tune in.

[@Halcylion]

People like you are the reason why Balon keeps fighting.

[@elijahbrown8250]

@@Halcylion And I enjoy watching the havoc he brings to his enemies.

[@TheOriginalElkstone]

It's probably the big nono words in this that get it buried Oh it turns out it's because he's massive ableist. Yeah that would explain it

[@rustyshackleford1508]

I'm a fan of all the different ways you come up with to say "I killed them and looted their shit"

[@Halcylion]

It would get boring if I always said "I killed them and looted their shit"... I mean, that's 80% of Bannerlord's Gameplay. :)

[@BBughii]

I'm so grateful to you for your commitment. It feels like such a anachronistic thing to do, to stick to a project that you care about! We (and our comments) are here to help you against the algorithm! 😅

[@Halcylion]

Maybe one day, this series will bring more than just satisfaction. :)

[@notoriousnobody6639]

This, and the merchant series, is some of the absolute best content on KZbin. Truly. Masterfully done.

[@Nroll3x6942]

this is the best channel EVER even the series itself even every other series , tbh this guy deserves some love or be accepted as a good youtuber without any hate at all.

[@jenlifh2871]

500 views and 25 comments it really shows how much people who watch this series really love it

[@alexandersen1987]

im always pumped when i see one of these pop up

[@ucsmastara4975]

It would be realy sad to see bandits ballads end next chapter 😢

[@Halcylion]

All good things must eventually come to an end, besides... Balon is now a respected king all across Calradia. How can he call himself a bandit anymore?

5:57 Not only did you make the same joke I thought of the moment I saw that name, you even pronounced Vlad's nickname correctly, that's a rarity. Mad respect, best Bannerlord content creator on KZbin

Best series yet, hope it gets more traction.

So last wave of the black tide is coming up. It's been one hell of a run man, thanks for keeping this series running in spite of the low numbers.

[@BracownReclidobo]

Yeeessss bro thanks for getting this up! I love you've kept this going! Watching it right now!

[@Halcylion]

Hope you've enjoyed it!

[@mr.k1946]

Comment for the algorithm! I’m gonna be sad when this series ends but that just means a new one can begin! Keep up the great work man best banner lord content around!

[@BracownReclidobo]

It's official bro: you are a poet. I can't imagine that this is done in your second language! I absolutely love your attention to detail. For example the quick flashes of Vlad himself when you mention tepes Castle. Hilarious, entertaining, creative, and brilliant. Amazing work bro!!

[@StoneyTullip]

Your storytelling/editing/humor have no match on this platform!! Its amazing how you can turn a playthrough into what feels like a tv show. I tune in for every episode, thank you!

[@Halcylion]

Thank you, Tullip!

[@DANEonDOPE]

Man you deserve better. These videos are great my dude. You are just as good or even better than kilian experience (your styles are somewhat simmilar) and the jokes are on point. I really hope the algorithm treats you better, because your potential is amazing. You could be one of the biggest gaming channels on KZbin.

[@averageforestfish]

perfect ambiance to when I’m raiding villages and a group of 234 Khuzaits rolls up on me in half a day of raiding Amprelas surrounding villages

[@strategistone1235]

Thank you for the episode, I love this series and have loved every episode.

[@edwardglass9602]

Never commented before, but this has been one of my favorite Bannerlord series so far! I say damn the algorithm, full speed ahead!

[@Halcylion]

I appreciate your first comment, my good sir! We can do nothing but maintain our current speed, because the journey is almost over.

[@takkar7763]

This series is rewatchable Bannerlord art!!

[@thomasechols8834]

Since when does an ironborne pay anything but the iron price?

[@Halcylion]

Since people started depending on him. But the gold he spends on his people was earned by paying the iron price, and it has the exact same transactional value.

[@ephoo4609]

HE HAS BLESSED US WITH ANOTHER EPISODEE!!!!

[@LordTiddlyWInk]

I have a feeling it might go from bandits ballads to a new series with baylon the same way it went from trader sorties to cooperate reports

[@Halcylion]

Balon's adventures won't be part of a usual series with a episodes 1,2,3 and so on... Instead, I'll be doing various challenges that fit his theme; but that will be coming much later on... if the save game is still playable by then. 'Till then, Balon will be enjoying his position as king for some time, while I'll be pursuing other projects. I'd like to give other games a chance as well. :)

[@chengkuoklee5734]

​@@HalcylionMaybe Starfield? We don't need guide, we want story, and maybe the glitch that ascend your character into godhood?

Pov: halcylion comes out with another bandits ballads episode 😮😮😮 🎉🎉🎉😊😊

[@helpfulmushroom5918]

Thank you so much for this series. I look forward to every new episode.

[@itshenry8977]

Much respect for still giving us the content we enjoy! Why maybe the Algorithm and the masses herded by it like a flock of sheep doesn't enjoy it I have no clue. But sometimes you got to go out of your way and out of the mainstream to enjoy a greener pasture

[@Halcylion]

This series isn't more popular because of a simple concept: if the algo recommends this video to a new viewer, he's gonna be like: "Interesting... but I'd have to watch the first 18 episodes to understand all that", and that's too big of a time investment for most people. I do have a plan to make it perform better, though... let's see if it actually works.

[@apocalypto2788]

man i dont want this series to end

[@chengkuoklee5734]

That Iron Man landing really match your story theme!

[@Halcylion]

Now that you say that, I realize I should've added Iron Man doing the superhero landing. But you know... Home*lander* is a more obvious choice for that.

[@jbb4105]

one of my favorite series on the platform 😄

[@ravager2-636]

Siege engines are for the weak.. The iron born will either climb the wall or breach the walls and slaughter the defenders.. All hail King Blacktyde

[@Sayinclay]

yet another amazing video. Thanks mate! Even though they arent that popular they are top-notch

[@castsmith6783]

I used to wonder why people love 800 long episode of some soap opera. Now i know why.

[@TheTank1900]

Another excellent episode. I look forward to Balon finally fulfilling his ambitions and resting for a while.

[@Halcylion]

So am I... trust me. :D

[@martinkunz7155]

I enjoyed the show. I can see why you'd want to end it, though. One of the most entertaining gaming video series I've watched. You deserve a lot more viewers, honestly.

[@infernoflame7320]

I haven't even watched it yet and I already know I'm going to love this episode of bandits ballads

[@nichoasgresens-chilnd3655]

Great and entertaining series. Thank you for being you Halcylion! Would Love to see a bandit playthrough where you did a world conquest. You have an amazing story telling talent and I think it would be very worth listening to a reason why you united the lands.

[@Halcylion]

There is no logical reason for Balon to risk life and limb to unite all of Calradia. That doesn't mean he won't ever do it, but the possibility of that happening is very low.

[@subzeroacademy8568]

Love your content please keep Balon's adventures up to date and thank you for you work ❤

[@eliashoussney995]

Love this I have no clue why the algorithm doesn’t

[@Halcylion]

The algorithm follows the will of the masses, and most people won't click on a random playthrough episode because they can't commit to watching 9 hours of content just yet. :)

[@giorgioblack]

Epic. Any plans on what series you're going to do next? You should try the Inworld AI mod, Halcylion talking with an intelligent NPC, that would be gold.

[@unitone6851]

Idea: Balon should reurn to Westeros (Using realm of thrones module) and bring the Ironborn to new heights

[@areyoufcknkiddinme]

YEEES! double that!

Oh no, I can't dedicate another 2 years of my life for another series like this one. I do appreciate the suggestion, though. :D

[@thefooltouchstone3569]

Would love to see Balon conquer Calradia and turn it into his own "Bandit Empire"...one can dream! ;)

[@Halcylion]

If Balon does that, I won't document every step of his journey, every encounter, every battle. But our hero has already accomplished all he wanted to, he has no reason to unite the world under a single banner. Who would he even raid, when finances start getting low?

[@thefooltouchstone3569]

@@Halcylion Well...there will probably be many in Calradia that won't appreciate their benevolent and nurturing "Bandit Emperor" and so will revolt...they would be fair game for raids, would they not? It is also completely understandable that Balon would be satisfied with his accomplishments to date and so put his conquering days to rest....but what of his heirs...will his son be able to preserve the kingdom his father worked so hard to win? That could be an epic saga in and of itself! ;)

[@Halcylion]

As soon as this series is over, I'll start streaming while I test the new trading mechanics, and once I gather enough info, I'll be glad to put another trade guide together. But I gotta warn you, I'll also be playing/streaming other games, and work on videos for those games in parallel. :)

[@ahlaoe4]

Im so hyped for the next episode! I am currently doing the same campain for Idrun - the prostitute that had enough, killed the pimps, ran away with nothing but her underwear. Only to be captured by looters and forced to do what she was earlier forced to do and only survived from the scraps she was tossed to eat. Idrun have come to the point that she is in war with the whole world exept Vlandia who paid to have their villages in peace. Idrun now spends her days raiding caravans but it seems that squeezing and robbing had been patched out because even if I leave survivors after a battle, they magicaly disapear from the map... Do you know anything about that? Thanks for amazing the content!

[@Halcylion]

Thank you for the comment, and good luck to Idrun. As for why the survivors disappear after a battle... they actually don't. Those who are routed from the battlefield are added to those who were injured when you take prisoners. Running away doesn't help them escape, it just counts as a surrender.

[@ahlaoe4]

Thanks for the answer. So then I need to leave the prisoners be for them to stay on the map and be able to rob/squeeze them?@@Halcylion

[@Halcylion]

@@ahlaoe4 You can't do anything to leave the survivors on the map. If you don't take prisoners, their caravan will disappear anyway after you defeat it. Only thing you can do, which I do NOT recommend, is retreat after defeating 99% of the caravan's troops... then, the survivors MIGHT give you everything. But if you do this, you abandon all the battle loot, meaning the weapons and armor dropped by the slain soldiers, and that can be worth more than what you get by robbing the caravan. So just kill them all, take everything you can in the first attack, and move on to the next one.

[@ahlaoe4]

@@Halcylion ok, I remember that it used to be as you describe it in your videos, that you could repeatidly attack them... Sad they changed that. I went thru patch notes and could not find anything about it tho... Verry well, more killing to be done I suppose :)
