Can Forkwad Conquer the World with a Horse Horde in Mount & Blade Bannerlord?

[@HazzorPlaysGames]

Hey folks, Ring ring ring, that's the sound of the Bananalord phone ringing, you'd better pick it up quick! I hope you enjoy this content that I made for you in the breaks between doing house move things, I am a very tired man right now, business as usual very soon though, like the video and make some generically interesting and engaging comment so that Mr Gorithm gives me what I need... Which is Sweet, sweet validation.

Banner lord is great, gotta farm up that surgeon skill before you can spam alive cav tho

[@oscarsweeney7155]

Thoroughly enjoyed the video mate, keep up the good work!! Sounds like you’ve got a lot on your plate right now but all your hard work is, and will keep, paying off. Your content improves countless people’s days every day, I know it’s hard to absorb by just looking at view and like counts, but you’re a force of positivity in what is sometimes a hard world to be a part of. Love your work Hazzor

Don't you need to credit the music used?

[@sunkruhmhalaci2592]

Love your content and your voice alike! I've already watched this video and am now watching it again to share with others. :D I do that with a lot of your vids. XD

[@Strat-Guides]

That was a great campaign! I think with a couple tweaks, you could have done a full world conquest - well done :D

We'll get em next time.

Agreeable, comrade lordbruno

How the hell is this even possible? Yesterday after whole day of playing Bannerlord i found your channel on recommended tab and binge watch every rimworld video and thought "it will be cool of you record bannerlord video" and today you uploaded it 😅

[@HazzorPlaysGames]

Someone asks something like this every time I publish a video and the answer is always the same... I have a complex network of advanced sattelites paired with an extremely effective troupe of highly trained rats to spy on my viewers and intuit their taste in content.

Lol I'd like to see his take on bananalord too. But I would also like to make a much more deranged Bannerlord video with far more executions too at some point.

Had literally JUST finished re-re-re-rewatching the 300 days Medieval Rimworld playthrough while doing some late night uni work, then realise 20 minutes ago a brand new Hazzor vid was released!? Nothing like the soothing sounds of horseback combat to listen to before sleep

[@kotzka4626]

Can relate, they are very rewatchable videos. And the Artemis one too.

[@captaincole4511]

Watching him execute the kings and nobles was absolutely hilarious. It looked like his tiny arms could just barely hold the axe 😂

[@bobbacon1398]

What a glorious man Forkward is

[@Syz_gy]

Man, you never miss. I originally found you through your above-ground Dwarf Fortress, but I've since watched literally everything else. Your work is excellent.

[@coffeeconscript]

Great to see you playing Bannerlord! I was nervous to see if your video style mixed with it but you definitely pulled it off. Also through all of my videos and hours in bannerlord, that splash at 20:00 is also the biggest I have EVER seen, I made a guttural noise just seeing it in the video lmao.

[@attorneyonwheels]

I couldn't believe my ears when I heard the Age of Empires music... Nostalgic as heck!

[@zZzZzyxel]

Noice. Another one in a portfolio of endlessly rewatchable videos. Also, I don't know if it's a good house move, or a neutral or a bad one, so I'm not sure if i should offer congratulations, simple acknowledgement or my condolences.

[@HazzorPlaysGames]

Good, lots more space and far less neighbours, but it's been a lot of work. Nearly done though now.

I see a lot of people saying your videos are infinitely rewatchable, and that is very true. Something really makes your narration stand out.

[@dan_slnc]

bro i ran out of videos of you to watch, i need more content, this is almost like an addiction at this point. Now seriously i love ur content, keep the hard work up, these videos are of an amazing quality and i can't even get close to imagine the amount of time and effort this takes. Touché, mr Hazzor.

[@Fuer64]

I've always loved horse archers, it's just funny watching them surround an entire army and pelt 'em with arrows. Not the most useful in sieges tho but that's what the other noble's armies are for

[@JJJBunney001]

Wait until you recruit an army of exclusively Khan's Guards. Heavy armoured horse archers with the best weapon in the game

[@Gr3nadgr3gory]

Just send your troops for sieges, the game doesn't always understand that horse archers aren't great in sieges.

[@HistoryFanatic2024]

8:00 minutes in, here I am not criticizing but instead talking about what a beautiful man Forkwad is.

[@timothymclean]

0:56: Hold on. Forkwad becomes a mighty political leader, _after_ getting rich and famous in the entertainment industry? I thought that was a strictly modern phenomenon.

[@mueezadam8438]

I feel like Forkwad executing the emperor was less of a political move and more of a symbolic castration of the popular male leader he could never hope to compare with.

[@עומרייחיאל-מ1ב]

[@davidavila608]

Hi! I love your videos. A few tips on doing a horse only run as I have done my fair share is that you should mix up your comp to not be pure cataphracts instead for a late game army of around 300 men I would recommend 1/3 of that to be horse archer and the other 200 to be mostly cataphracts and aseri vanguard faris I halos have around 20 dirshnick champions and the occasional vlandian cavalry but nice job on a first horse only run

[@notlucas011]

I would kill for Forkwad without question

[@HazzorPlaysGames]

nice.

10/10 video. Just started playing banner lord and you’ve made my day

[@DrMalbin]

Great video once again. It's good to see Bannerlord on your channel! Hope to see more of in the future!

[@GreatZarquon]

Great video, gotta love some emperor executions! Before you declared yourself a kingdom, you could have negotiated peace with the trade screen, with any lord of the western empire! It is so fun/broken to give 10 crafted polearms to some random poor lord, and get peace and keep all those fiefs you just stole!

[@sirfancy3876]

18:50 I didn't think I'd be hearing Rimworld music while watching a Bannerlord video, but I'm incredibly pleased by it

[@8cto289]

11:00 as a male who rides horses and practices archery in real life, this speaks to me.

[@idrescyrilaeithusritikamaq896]

Validation sent. You are just a little better now. But is it ever enough? To bump that self-esteem that little bit higher, have a subscription... and this mental pat on the head. Well done sir.

[@TroaBarton]

Year this is a year old and you likely know this by now. But a nice trick when in service to another kingdom is to refuse all castles and give away any they force on you. By the time they take a town the AI will see you have no holdings and very likely give it to you instead.

[@privateuser3726]

A little bit of advice. The Kuzait nobles have better stats and can reach higher tiers, standard recruits can only reach tier 4 while nobles get tier 5. It will take longer to recruit exclusively nobles and max them out, but it's definitely worth it. With maxed-out Kuzhait nobles you can regularly and reliably take out armies double your size and if you min/max by getting all the perks that increase your party size and the law that gives kings a flat 100 troop increase you can field a party of around 500-600 meaning you could take out armies between 1,000-1,200 without even needing to form an army

[@DCdabest]

That smooth Age of Mythology soundtrack as you become the man, the myth, the legend that is Forkwad!

[@Rifolas]

As a bannerlord nerd, i prefer the forest people because of their two handed warriors and javelin throwers. They're easy to get and the javelin dudes are essentially melee/ranged units so it's a two for one. A few hundred javelin throwers defending a fort are pretty much invincible, i have yet to lose a fort while using them

[@Dars2097]

Finally, someone else who uses some.. debatable.. techniques of winning tournaments. It's just so easy to take on people in tournaments with a shield or bow.

[@IZZAUH]

One of my favorite ways to cheese bannerlord is to go solely archer units, set up on a hill and let them pelt the enemy as they charge, then as soon as the enemy hits your front line you retreat. Then engage again, you lose no troops and wittle down the enemy army at the same time

[@Ssdcommander]

I love the random Top Gear references in your videos.

[@matthewmarting3623]

Yeah, I did this with Khans Guard only and it’s very doable. It just takes a lot of time to replace/recruit your losses in the last phase where you’re trying to siege out the last 20-30 settlements.

[@adrienbroditore]

What a perfect combo, love your content dude

I remember buying the original game when I was in college off of a shady website and processing a payment in euros for the very first time. Back when it got really hyped up on the Something Awful forums. This was before steam existed. It was early access before the term “early access” even existed. The version of the game I got they didn’t even have the arena implemented yet. There was a black knight ball that rolled around and would destroy you, that’s if you weren’t fucked by the Swabians and their incredibly fast world map horses

I use Khuzait horse archers with any melee cav that can get to max rank: I let archers pummel them until they get close and then send melee cav to force them to turn shields around while pulling archers slightly back as needed - 120 army against 1k+ army no problem, with the retreat and rejoin option always available + patience

[@finnickumgalbard597]

Im stuck on a Vlandian playthrough. I have 12 fiefs as a vassal, but all surrounded by would be enemy Vlandians and Northern empire that spawns 1500 men strong armies in an NY minute. Can field an 800 army with companion parties without influence lost. But all the enemy armies are much larger, including my would be Vlandian enemies.
