How Elon Musk Broke Bannerlord - THE Workshop Guide

Makes sense. I thought it was because the empire fractured in a civil war and the unstable economy was a byproduct of the political turmoil tearing Caladria apart… but I like your explanation better.

[@Strat-Guides]

@@valipunctro The prosperity is set from the start of the game and is fixed, but that can change drastically depending on if they get raided a lot, wars, caravans bringing supplies, losing castles that were bringing supplies there, etc. So many factors so the best early game may or may not be good 5 - 10 years in!

I see people posting this doesn't work anymore, but it does.

Go to 5:25 and pause at minimum to make sure you're following the steps correctly. I'm assuming you aren't doing it properly if you think it doesn't work.

[@Strat-Guides]

Yeah I forgot to cover the other steward perks. So the 275 perk gives wage reduction and if you get to 330 it's 65% discount. Level 25 perk give 5%, the being in an army perk gives 25% and the 250 for sieges gives 25%. If you add them all up it's like 170% if I recall, so basically you get 70% of their wages as an income LOL It works with regular troops, but I like that extra 50% :)

[@Strat-Guides]

Thanks for watching my guides!! You don't ever have to apologize for asking a question, I'm here to help as best I can :) As far as luring clan parties - it's possible but would be very unreliable and difficult. The only way I can think of doing it would be to create a clan party near a group of bandits and have them close enough to give chase right away. I guess there could be another way... If you go by yourself and have bandit troops chase you, you can bring them to the clan party in hopes that the clan party will chase the bandit who is chasing you lol I don't think it would work very well though. I know I had a section in one of the houses where I released a clan party near an event that was too fast for the army to catch, but the small party could, you could try the same thing by creating a party. Yeah Bannerlord is amazing! Don't hesitate to let me know if you have questions in the future.

@@Evrimomono that's a good question, I have only played with the Bannerlord settings because I enjoy pain and dying 5000 times before I learn my lesson lol I don't think I have a guide on that but it's a great idea! One setting I'm familiar with is battle size. Bigger battle size is more difficult imo than smaller. Also if you're playing a combat heavy character, smaller battle size generally means you will have more opportunity to change the battle results. For example, on 1k battle size maybe I'll average 30 kills put battle but on 400 battle size that could easily be 100. You just have not changes to get in the action before it's over.

So I've swapped out every silversmith on the map to a brewery apart from the three in the most prosperous cities in the empire and two things I have now observed after ~2 years. 1) jewelry is dumb prices: the prosperous towns don't mind paying 700 for the locally produced jewely, and the edges of the map have no supply, relying on caravan goods at 900 a pop. 2) there is no grain, only beer. Beer global average is 25, cheapest I've ever seen. And the only way I can find grain to feed my army for under 20 is through the Art of the Trade. The economy is a mess and I love it. Thanks Strat!

Lol I was trying to get some interesting scenes where it looked like he was studying the locals, but then she did that and after started messing with her shoes! It was just a pure accident but when I went back to edit I knew exactly where it needed to go :)

[@stans2994]

It will do exactly as your u want it to ric. Its just a matter of how fast is fast to you.

7:45 got me rolling great video

[@witsendSOS]

None of this made complete sense to me but I'm working on it 😅

[@lupus_lupi]

Another awesome video, I love your humour

[@Strat-Guides]

Thank you! If only I could get my wife on the same page haha I try showing her some of the memes and she rolls her eyes :P

[@Laucron]

Oh my god the monopoly idea is genius

[@Strat-Guides]

It's pretty crazy how much money you can make once you get stuff switched out! Thanks for watching :)

[@AzoiatheCobra]

1:39 Not alone... she was there *cough* making profit *cough**cough* and with A LOT of company... sometimes at the same time... while still bearing th... OH MY GOD WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!

Oh hahaha that would have been an amazing twist to the story! Elon puts his wife to work... in the tavern ;)

[@AzoiatheCobra]

@@Strat-Guides i swear im writing this as im watching the video (kids dont let me watch it in one go...) 4:34 3 random strangers huh? guess the wife made a few friends in the tavern

@@AzoiatheCobra I know the feeling! I have to respond to comments in the morning on my phone while I feel my two kids lol Clan Bezos has a lot of renown I guess haha her milkshake brings all the boys to the yard (what a song that was...)

[@bibby659]

After watching a ton of your videos...I honestly feel generally overwhelmed from the amount of information that goes into alot of the crap in this game in comparison to the 1st. The first was so easy to abuse or even understand but in this one it seems like all that prior understanding is thrown out the window...especially due to TW seemingly not wanting a repeat of easy market minipulation or even easy currency gains.

[@RaphaelAmbrosiusCosteau51]

Fr, the first one straight up just told you how much each property would make every week, in this it’s a gamble whether or not it’ll even make any money

[@derfuerst5996]

Trade bug failed. Twn had +183% over average price. Is it important to have a very lot of smithing materials? I only had a few (like in the video) and bought all the materials from the trader back (even the ones he had before).

[@Strat-Guides]

I've had a few other people test it for me and they said it's still working. The only thing I can think of is making sure all the steps are being followed exactly?

[@Bananacatcryhappy]

so basically change all silversmith velvet to tannery brewery so the ai wont change the workshop type, then we buy silversmith velvet in high prosper town right ?

[@Strat-Guides]

Yeah that's probably the best way I've been able to come up with so far. It also works for others like the linen weavery, etc. but those were the ones I decided to show in the video. The AI will eventually change the production so keep an eye out when you visit towns and change them when you see it.

[@mortache]

So basically the silver ore went from costing $100 in 1800 to costing $100 in 2022 lol

[@Strat-Guides]

Well when you put it that way lol that would be a pretty nasty crash in the price!

[@Rychleji]

Thank you. Every tutorial ever recommends to trade at a beginning to get good money and prepare good army but I was loosing money on it. And just kept googling how to trade profitabily but nothing helped. After 850 days I'm trading with good profit but now I know that it's not just me who can't get early game trading going.

[@Strat-Guides]

Most people that make videos on YT don't actually do any research - they have one game where something worked out in their favor (or worse, a single trade) and decided to become experts in that field for a video hehe. You can still make money in the early game, but it's much harder than in the later game AND much more risky! Glad the video was helpful

[@stans2994]

told fless workshops were linked to prosperity days after 1.8 and all the changes. this video just did all the proof work for my statement. thanks strat :)

[@Strat-Guides]

How did you figure that one out? I had no idea until I dove deep into the numbers - I was always curious how they managed inflation and just thought it was some passive number in the code but it's pretty cool that they worked it into the actual game as a mechanic. So a campaign with a ton of raiding could potentially cause prices to shrink!

[@stans2994]

Correct. Lets just say.... I did some testin similar things yours. Changed ton of shops... Manipulated markets... And just noticed how shop prices reflected prosperity. Higher the prosperity.. higher to buy shop. Higher prosperity and i was getting larger returns.... Obviously not as min maxd as urs with graphs traits perks etc. But sometimes good ol logic wins

[@stans2994]

I will say that i even noticed ur bit on fiefs creating things out of air... As i tested with breweries. Silver. And smithies. And would notice fiefs without those resources somehow keeping workshop for unresourced shops going due to high prosperity. Told him that too. :P but he doesnt always pay attention in streams and im quickto leave after i spew info from my head.

[@stans2994]

U and him do good detective work. Keep it up bois. :)

[@team_ribs]

Can someone just give a list of the perks that got mercenaries to pay strat cause I can't find them in the video

[@Johnsonman07]

Awesome guide! Just wanted to know if this still works in the current patch? Cheers

[@Strat-Guides]

@Johnsonman07 they keep trying to tweak workshops so every patch is different, but I'm pretty sure you can still create monopolies in the current patch. Just be aware, the ai will change so types every few years so maybe just keep an eye out for the type you're trying to control and leave one slot open so you can buy, change and sell still

[@Davonskevort]

wonderful video.... a work of art.

[@Strat-Guides]

Thank you! I've got some literal art planned for next week - I'll share some screenshots tomorrow or Monday when I have it done :)
