I copied this in my total war game and i won!

[@Raddosseuss]

Hahaha I try same but couldnt win the first try the enemy had too many pikes XD

[@JeTsTreAm_cAt]

I mean i love this vid and I love the spartan units are pretty much accurate but the bad thing is the Persians are the Hollywood version instead of the historical one. I meant it’s not your fault it’s just an opinion.

[@SpartanIsGaming]

The mod author did a super great job on all the Spartan units and the Hero units. He added the Persian units for fun as a side project.

[@Raddosseuss]

So refreshing to actually see tactis at this game and not only spagetti lines

[@demomanchaos]

The RBM mod really changes the entire flow of battles as well as the weapon viability tier list. Hoplite style units and pikemen are really strong with RBM installed.

[@SpartanIsGaming]

Hope you guys enjoy and subscribe to join the Spartan Army! I trained and tested my Spartan Army in 5 different tactics and multiple different formations to find the best tactic to use in a large scale battle. I tested Feigned Retreats, Flanking, Partial-Feigned Retreat, Double Envelopment, and mixed unit tactics in order to find the very best way to defeat a large army on an open field.

[@niknekbuk]

i tried this tactics on total war rome 2 it worked suprisingly great ngl

[@nrfolk8298]

Bro love to see you are still doing some videos, this is an awesome video 😁

[@pantherxdoesit3425]

Nice tactics man!

[@funklelester8646]

Once you have the left and right flanks secure, draw the center of your sheild wall back

[@jimmyc2223]

So basically 1 sturdy center line with 2 shock troop like flanks to block initial cavs. And during infantry fight, open small windows to let the missile units to do their work. I can't imagine all these can be done back in the day without communication tools, great strategy sir!

[@adrianrafaelmagana804]

Cool video, for any of those interested in history...That's not specifically a Spartan tactic, that's actually very similar to the formation of Marathon...a battle the Spartans refused to participate in due to a holiday they were celebrating....this here is a ancient Greek tactic, made famous by Athens. Some say their victory at Marathon is what led to the Peloponnesian war as Sparta began to fear Athens

[@SpartanIsGaming]

That is true, I combined Spartan, Athenian, and even some of Alexander the Great’s tactics for this battle to improve upon Sparta’s tactics.

[@GaborSzabo747]

If I'm not mistaken Hannibal used this against the Romans. And won.

[@SpartanIsGaming]

Yes he did, Hannibal used a double envelopment at the battle of Cannae to destroy the Roman army.

[@That_oneguy25]

I’ve been watching you for two years now including another year when I didn’t have a KZbin account

[@DVader_1000]

Great video keep it up and can you please do anything Spartan campaign

[@SpartanIsGaming]

Thank you Spartan. I will do more Spartan videos and a custom Spartan campaign if that’s what everyone wants.

[@DVader_1000]

Yes that is thank😃

[@danieljardim5245]

Is the 300 spartan mod applied in custom battle? That is awesome

[@SpartanIsGaming]

Yes, it works in custom battles.

[@kiblo2541]

Hey, i am french and i love your channel ! I could say i would be nice to have more dynamic vids, there is a lot of blank, or could add music/sound at some moment but i think it's hard to have dynamic vids on this game. But nice channel ! But can you tell me if you have mods ? And give me the names pls ?

[@vitorfariasbosco7134]

Please make more series using those mods

[@MaximTustin]

This is great, but when will the next Viking episode come out??

[@SpartanIsGaming]

The campaign got corrupted from a Bannerlord update but I will remake the campaign eventually. I have been wanting to make a Spartan campaign so Ivar's story will continue before or after the Spartan story.

[@MaximTustin]

Dang that sucks, as a bannerlord player myself I would hate for something like that to happen, but this content always keeps me enjoyed keep it up man, and can’t wait for the next series!!

[@robbiesarris9072]

Do you use any cavalry overhaul mods to make cav more effective? I sometimes grow frustrated with cavalry in this game but I don’t want to make the game unbalanced

[@SpartanIsGaming]

The Realistic Battle Mod I used in this video actually also makes Cavalry way stronger. That’s why I lost multiple heavily armored Spartans from the charges alone.

[@aaronclzt2361]

Have you ever made a video about defensive spots in cities or castles? There are some very OP chokepoints and defendeble buildings in the cities and castles. Especially in batannian lands 😈

[@SpartanIsGaming]

One of my first videos on the channel was holding a tower in a siege defense. But yes I have plenty of siege tactics videos, like this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6enaKWGqJ1po5Ysi=03Pe_NKR4P-a_Ayp

[@nylrej]

I love your vids bit can you make videos more consistent pls

[@ElijahMensah-nb6rb]

Continue Your Viking life

[@DeyHateJay1]

I watch all your videos

[@SpartanIsGaming]

Big PP

[@martinfroze8925]

hello sir just one question. I saw you are using RBM do you have combat module active or you are using just AI?

[@SpartanIsGaming]

I believe I have everything active for RBM. So realistic AI, armor, damage, cavalry, fighting, and stamina.

[@AlonbF9182]

Make more walkthroughs bro haha

[@aorethesecond8939]

sweet what spartan mod is that or is it custom?

[@SpartanIsGaming]

I used the 300 Sparta mod for the Spartan, Persian, and Hero Units.

[@daod2404]

Can you get mods thru cracked version?

[@TrueFRESHICe]

anyone else game keep crashing within the first 2 mins while using sparta mod? ( this only started happening yesterday )

[@ReaperFH]

What Spartan mod did you use for this ?? Could you drop link.?

[@SpartanIsGaming]

300 Sparta mod on version 1.2.8: www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/2220

[@Salaci]

What mods do you have?

[@alfonsowangs4236]

i also use RBM mod, but then all the vanilla ranged units become trash.. did i miss something? what do i do with the rbm settings?

[@SpartanIsGaming]

For the archers you can mess with or turn off combat overhaul through the RBM mod settings or turn off the damage overhaul and leave AI overhaul on.

[@rezarasolipour3300]

as a persian i agree with this technique...those damn old days:((

[@mohamadrezanamvari]

Hello, in this mod, the soldiers do not have Spartan armor for meYou can tell me the complete tutorial on how to install 300sparta mod

[@SpartanIsGaming]

If you are using 300 Sparta I’d recommend going back to the version it uses 1.2.8 instead of the current 1.2.9. On the Spartan series I created I had problems with the Spartans being naked without armor on the current version.

[@Thaddios]

Sparta is OK, no Thebes mind you, but ok.

[@hobbitsatplay9542]

Calvary was the hill outside of Jerusalem where Jesus was crusified. Cavalry are horse mounted soldiers.

[@user-st6ve5gt8e]

Can we play Persia camping in this mod?

[@SpartanIsGaming]

Yes, you can play a Persian themed campaign with this mod.

[@SoldierCraft-nx9hn]

What Mod do we need to use our Army to 100%?

[@SpartanIsGaming]

Realistic Battle Mod and RTS Camera are essential for utilizing your army.

[@SoldierCraft-nx9hn]

@@SpartanIsGaming Thank you!🤝

[@su1thor760]

Rts camera work on 1.29?

[@SpartanIsGaming]

I used RTS Camera 1.2.8 on 1.2.9 for this video.

[@su1thor760]

@@SpartanIsGaming oh that one work for 1.2.9? oh thanks

[@user-dq4bq7zn2g]

How this spearmen so discipline? In my game spearmen very suck and unreliable but at your game they were scary and look like unbeatable 😮

[@SpartanIsGaming]

Realist Battle Mod combined with the skills of the Spartan Hoplites make them devastating despite being a low tier unit. The realistic hesitation to fight and addition of stamina also helps an army in a static phalanx.

[@user-dq4bq7zn2g]

@@SpartanIsGaming wow, gonna try those thing and make some spearnen being great, thanks

[@sebastianpaterson1649]

what faction should i use if i dont have nods

[@SpartanIsGaming]

Almost any faction works if you follow the steps for this tactic. Empire, Aserai, Battania, Vlandia, and Sturgia could work. Khuzait wouldn’t work since they are focused on cavalry. Battania and Sturgia would be the best for the battanian fians and the Sturgian 2 handed warriors for flanking.

[@spartan9963]

Oh no, im with the Khuzait empire ): ill try anyway lol and use cavalry to flank them. ​@@SpartanIsGaming

[@SpartanIsGaming]

@@spartan9963 Good luck!

[@XMPhoto]

Does this work vanilla?

[@SpartanIsGaming]

Yes, just use shield infantry for the front and shock infantry for the square formation.

[@Deafus]

what mod is this?

[@SpartanIsGaming]

300 Sparta is the main mod, the rest are listed in the video description.

[@JeTsTreAm_cAt]

I think the spartan champions are meant to be the spartan royal guarf

[@SpartanIsGaming]

Yeah the Spartan Champions are most likely the Spartan kings guard like the 300 that fought with Leonidas.

[@icyBramos]

How do I play this mod

[@SpartanIsGaming]

You can play with these Spartans using the 300 Sparta on PC from downloading it on Nexus Mods.

[@Defender0fDead]

What he didnt do is add 100 cheap archers because it would of wrecked him

[@SpartanIsGaming]

With this tactic you could battle 500 archers and they would still do the same thing. The archers would watch the fight without having anyone to fire at then retreat after you destroy the rest of their army. I will say horse archers would be the biggest problem that would require a new tactic.

[@ironheartbannerlord2815]

was it Ca-val-ry not Cal-val-ry? just asking

[@hobbitsatplay9542]

Correct, Calvary is where Jesus was crucified. Cavalry are mounted soldiers

[@zishuredi3908]

cant the cavalry just flank from behind...

[@SpartanIsGaming]

The AI will focus on the square formation since it’s closest. If they attack the archers from behind they’ll get stuck in the front-line infantry blob as well and not escape alive.

[@zishuredi3908]

@@SpartanIsGaming well if the AI were smarter that would be the better option

[@amirfarhang5169]

they just can move around and charge from behind with horses ,in real life and in that place ,spartans with out horseman, have 0 chance to win ,

[@SpartanIsGaming]

In history the Spartans would outsource Greek spear throwers that would fight in and around the phalanx and would be trained to retreat into the phalanx to avoid cavalry or any enemy attacks. Sadly you can’t use that tactic in Bannerlord but would work very well for this tactic.

[@user-ee6wd3nr6l]

Like if you wat 40.000 spartan vs 300.000 emortals

[@user-wq9mw2xz3j]

without the stupid ai of rbm I'm not sure it'd go as well

[@SpartanIsGaming]

Without realistic AI and realistic spacing you would just have to use short swords instead of spears for the Spartans.

[@user-ms6ov1rb4h]

Izem may lose yashakk

[@KopaiSverli]

don't you just using higher tier infantry that wins anyway

[@SpartanIsGaming]

Both sides have the same amount of each tier. The Persian’s just have infantry with weaker equipment on all but the last tier (the immortals). The Spartan Hoplites are tier 2.

[@Vi-uu2zo]

Worst... Enemy units are trash and your units are at high tier, probably L6.

[@SpartanIsGaming]

The enemy army consists of 1,000 tier 1 - tier 6 units with an even amount on each tier. The Spartan army had tier 2 - tier 6 units with an even amount on each tier as well. The Persian army did seem terrible but that’s because their strength is archers and cavalry and this tactic’s main focus was to completely counter that threat.
