How to Play the Kingdom of Rhodoks

My favorite part of warband is still how bloody your character can get during the battles, if you kill enough people you just become R E D.

@Amergin Giles I agree absolutely. I was a pretty much day-one purchaser of Bannerlord; after so many years waiting I jumped on it. To date I have...80 hours in the game, and I don't feel the urge to continue. Its such a strange difference. The modding scene is a powerful bonus to Warband, some of the overhauls are just incredible. I've played Prophecy of Pendor for hundreds of hours and loved it. Here's to hoping that Bannerlord can one day meet our expectations.

The scariest thing about the rhodoks is with a small strategy of having your infantry in from 20 or so paces and your archers behind you can take on forces 5 times your size. I had got caught by the Swadian army as a merc and had to battle them where it was 400 troops vs my 100. Half nord infantry the other half rhodock crossbows. Using the shield wall strategy we won the battle even with only about 20 dead and 50 injured. That was when I realized I could build an army to conquer the whole land.

[@poisonousvictory8622]

Swadian knight spam is also busted

[@goodcomrade2949]

@Cullen Pinney it was the satsuma rebelion the samurai charged beceuse they where out of ammo so went last resort. They rebbeled beceuse their power was being stript away by the emperor. Samurai always used guns even before the 19th century in the 16th Century the peak period for samurai most of them used guns. When they opend after the edo period they quickly adopted new western costums and guns.

[@cheevo7680]

I once abandoned mass hordes of infantry and tried to become a Swadian equivalent to a Steppe Lord, I had a lot of Horseback Swadian Knights, but since I also mainly operated in defense of Halmar, a city the King gifted me, I was supplementing losses with Khergit and Sassanid Horsemen who get horses very early in their progression tree. We were wiping armies several times our size, I even captured the Khan at one point, but eventually we got caught too deep into enemy land and I could not make up for the losses of Elite Swadian Cavalry. Had to run, and thanks to no help from fellow vassals, we lost Halmar.

[@mezzykrazy]

Nah I just spam cavalry. Unless I want something specific to throw in my towns, I only spec into cavalry and just charge and I usually come out with like 5 injured AT MOST. Its so strong

[@LordDucarius]

just take vaegir knights, they destroy all

[@szymonrozanski6938]

Like i dont care crossbows lose in a 1 v 1 vs archers because of the fire rate. You know what archers cant do? Use all their arrows in a siege and instead of retreating to replenish you charge in melee. Thats why Rhodoks to me are the best, huge shield, very strong one handed. And straigh up headshotting full armor knights. - This post was posted by Rhodok Gang

Rhodoks were the first faction i played with when i first started Warband. I didn't know what the hell i was doing and learning the game at 100% damage and no saves was HARD. After so, so many hours of playing, I had finally gotten to *that* point of being good... our kingdom had taken over half of Calradia and we were at war with the Khergits. I had a force of about ~120 sergeants and pro crossbowmen and we found the Khan roaming around with 800(!) troops - or rather, he found us. It was an open field battle and 800 horsemen with the luxury of a bow's distance would make quick work of us... But we were lucky. There was a modest hill in the middle and we made our stand there. Sergeants forming a ring around the crossbowmen at the top, the kills were coming in at an astronomical rate. Holes were poked through the lines and we lost almost 100 men... But we made it. An infantry-only force defeated a superior cavalry-only force by the skin of our teeth. This happened over 10 years ago at this point and I still remember it. One of the best video game moments of my life.
