I made STURGIA into the most OP FACTION in Bannerlord

This is a series where I play as a lone soldier of the Sturgian army in Mount and Blade: Bannerlord. The goal in this playthrough is to climb from the bottom to the top in the Kingdom of Sturgia, starting as recruit and joining the army to become glorious Viking King of Sturgia!
Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is a strategy action role-playing video game developed and published by TaleWorlds Entertainment. It is a prequel to Mount & Blade: Warband, a stand-alone expansion for the 2008 game Mount & Blade. Bannerlord takes place 210 years before its predecessor, with a setting inspired by the historical Migration Period.
Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is a strategy/action role-playing game. The fundamental gameplay premise is the same as previous entries in the series: the player builds up a party of soldiers and performs quests on an overhead campaign map, with battles being played out on battlefields that allow the player to personally engage in combat alongside their troops.

*STURGIA BEST FACTION THE BIG 100%!* Hello Hello! Guess who is VERY excited for the full release of bannerlord? That's right: Me More adventures to come very soon, next one will be a *REAL* big one!

[@regnor961]

I know you are a Viking but named your child Bjorn Bjornson it's not good it's Ulf son so he must name Bjorn Ulfson ... if it will be a boy Btw Svana look better than Idrun :P

[@missblinwry6130]

I love your videos so much they're just great ❤️❤️❤️

[@DestroyerOfOgis]

Sturgia is good because: - Heroic Line Breakers (best infantry) - Druzhinnik Champions (best cavalry) - Svana (best marriage prospect) - Brutal aesthetic (Bathing in Vlandian blood 🌚) - Based banner (Gundaroving and Vagiroving best) - Meme potential (So much Slavic memes)

[@Dubinitout]

Ulfs legend has faded😢

[@theemries4766]

If Ulf's kid is a boy, name him Haesteinn. It'll be the ultimate crossover event of the century.

[@mikiewhite2152]

THIS, RIGHT HERE IS LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE

[@saulgallagher5668]

If Ulf's kid is a girl, name her Haesteinn anyway

[@robertlott8766]

Haesteinn? Why not just name him Chad, lol.

[@DarthVictious]

You are easily the BEST Mount and Blade youtuber currently, every video is a god damn BANGER

[@Pentagathusosaurus]

If your firstborn son is a daughter please call her Fafayene

[@blank2809]

“ if your firstborn son is a daughter “

[@DestroyerOfOgis]

"son is a daughter"

[@certifiedredditgenius]

@@DestroyerOfOgis "SON"

[@Bobotix]

Bannerlord is such a good game

[@cazares7005]

Fr I’m waiting for it to drop on console

[@brekiel_scripts]

Stay Viking? Okay. I'm off to a LARP this evening and will follow Ulf's example: no shields, only more axes!

[@Ludrovisco]

Your enemies can't kill you if they are dead!

[@deusvult6920]

Can't stay viking they're modeled off kiev/rus not the vikings

[@brekiel_scripts]

@@deusvult6920 That's a misconception, actually. Viking isn't an ethnicity or nationality. It's more accurately used as a verb or describing a profession. While the Norse stereotype is what comes to mind when you say Viking, that term was used to describe coastal raiders all across the northern seas from Iceland and Ireland all the way over into modern-day Russia. So being Rus and being a Viking aren't mutually exclusive.

[@gre3nishsinx0Rgold4]

As someone currently in a khuzait campaign. Seeing the khuzaits not have that many horse archers look heretical. Also I hope the devs would give more flavor to the empire units. Unique units trees specifically for each of them would be nice.

[@bettmo7494]

I mean they nerfed Khuzaits into the graveyard. Unless the player joins them, they get absolutley shit on

[@kegen121]

​@bettmo7494 wyd if you don't matter explaining to me they got nerfed just picked up the game last week so I don't know much. They are doing really well on my campaign map though.

[@luiz7962]

youve not only beat your girl, but her mother aswell at that tournament, true sturgian chad move

[@TacticalSpray]

"You look like a Battanian, no thank you" haha.

[@LuizAlexPhoenix]

Ulf is an unit but Koifish is actually really into the berserker role, he pushes ahead and breaks the enemy lines with such naturalness that it looks easy.

[@MrLogan2600]

Imagine a guy at a party just going up to girls and picking out every flaw

[@patkub3214]

Name your kid Haesteinn. It would be fitting name IMO.

[@cityofmagic4370]

Ulf is the greatest athlete in all of Calradia! Also I really enjoy the fafen redemption arc & friendship with Ulf

[@nivledequilla3600]

A great content once again! Thank you koi fish! Hehe

[@LordJohnako109]

You should name the child Fafen Ulfson! Such a proud and strong Sturgeon Name!

[@lordbiscuitthetossable5352]

Like the steel hammered in the forge, Fafen became better with time. Naturally Ulfson is the anvil.

[@MrHat.]

Bannerlord players try and understand that Sturgia isnt the vikings challenge (impossible)

[@DestroyerOfOgis]

as a sturgaboo, this had me rolling 😭😭😭

[@derkylos]

Less talking, more raiding.

[@diogogomes9168]

I love it that system of a down is playing during the tornounment

[@BobfromAccounting-ut5lf]

[@t.j.aarons889]

[@florens3445]

[@JDWMAN4565]

Love these do much, started my own serve as a soldier playthrouhh and it is working on v1.1.2

[@Diarmuhnd]

"Who are you talking to? ... What game?" Hahaha, thanks for sharing the fun.

[@mareczek00713]

That feeling when I realize your tournament theme is a bardcore of SOAD "Toxicity"...

[@andyjax7816]

Just realized that too lol. Seemed familiar...

[@nilredowski]

The best video I watched this week!

[@kollebg]

[@Gmac92]

This is funny one of the funniest playthrough I've seen

[@centurionfox7429]

[@georgepats1168]

Name the child Hæstein

[@strategistone1235]

I love this series.

[@TriumphantDisease]

Good to see Steven again!

[@jamoecw]

Sturgia are the Vikings of MB2, so they are already the OP faction. that means in order to make them the OP faction you have to corrupt them first, so that you can OP them later.

[@Rhaizzo]

"I'm a linebreaker! I will break the line!!" - Koifish, 2022

[@AlvinAnakMudaGameandfun]

Sturgia really is OP, look how fast Ulf and Idrun work! For the name of the young lord: Haesteinn and if a lady: Sigrun

[@anthonydecarlo9566]

Name him Jarl Hastein!!!

[@destrall586]

[@TheGaiusVigus]

I'm way too invested. this shit's great

[@CarlosianBigWang]

Funny enough I’m just finishing up conquering sturgia, AS BJORN IRONSIDES THE TRUE KING OF THE NORTH!

[@YoungClarke]

I am invested in The Bachelor:Sturgia and I am not sure how to handle this

[@cityofmagic4370]

Ulf defeats Apolonea with his tiny ax!! Edit: it makes perfect sense that Ulf married a women with a raiding ship banner

[@AfaqueAhmed_]

Hopefully this marriage of Ulf stays strong .

[@walnzell9328]

3:57 Yes, but the Sturgian chef is funnier. Bork bork!

[@kraygarr688]

[@connorbarton4308]

11:10 me too koifish me too

[@Nimyn]

Alright am I crazy or is the music playing during the tournament a medieval version of Toxicity by System of a Down?

[@danieldesalles3138]

One thing I would want a bannerlord not to be is the normal calradia mixed with the game of thrones world like imagine how cool it would be to see sturgions fighting lannistars

[@DummyThiccCheeseCake]

Little baby Ulf's!!!!!

[@walnzell9328]

6:48 It's Morbid time.

[@Skin-Walker]

Have found that Vlandian cav (the ones that turn to Banner knight) Imperial infantry legion Battanian archers Makes an incredible combo Pretty sure i did 100 ish against almost 400 and won Eventually lost because i had too little health to participate in the last battle… But before that i did 26vs 2 lord with i believe 60 troops each and won no infantry Edit: Oh and this was open battle field… Wasn’t a siege Also maybe it was just the nobles and their troops that are weak? Alltho… They had pretty upgraded troops… And they were part of the Empire…

[@honzapobisCZ]

What a good time to be online for some Koifish

[@vietnguyenhoang5795]

First time I actually saw Sturgians doing well against Khuzaits:) Anyways,is that an ai mod that you are using?The AI seems to get better

[@Garroburg]

Ah I remember when my big oaf of a character married the daughter of the Battanian High king. He was willing to give it for free but I still gave a cow for good mesure

[@TheOrangesEverywhere]

Heres how you make Sturgia OP: nothing, they already are

[@ottogade28]

HAHAHAHHA I LOVE THIS MAN

[@sean00172]

it be medieval times if the lady isnt interested just buy her from her father

[@tinayemari4954]

Ulf is literally Thorkell from Vinland

[@kbyD-gs2nq]

Q:what is the best castle of sturgia? *(not a city, just castle)

[@adamsalt9423]

How about naming the child Hæstein? Don't know if that's spelt right

[@salonez91]

I cant stop laughing :D

[@vietnguyenhoang5795]

Assassination of the king again next episode?:)

[@aclotheses]

Whats your modlist for this campaign? and what version? 1.8.0?

[@regnor961]

I wish to see Ulf i difrent helmet this one maby look good but not enough good for lord

[@ven173]

When do we see Haesteinn in Bannerlord?

[@robkstr_]

Is Koifish from russia and lives in sweden? I think so because of his profile picture and banner!

[@cameronmurray5973]

Gets dumped, hits on his best friend's wife, immediately rejects about ten ugly women, but sounds pretty enthusiastic about the prospect of a man. Goddamnit I'm in tears this is the most beautifully told story of our generation.

[@zaroncraaybeek2186]

Can you show how you downloaded these mods? I tried and can't figure it out

[@suk4ed]

you forgot about Svena!

[@DestroyerOfOgis]

The reason why the Vlandian horde has crippling weakness when fighting the Sturgians.

[@Ravertine]

press z to dismount without looking down

[@pedroazevedo3337]

what mods did you use?

[@mikeadriaansen4621]

do u use mods to get companions?

[@memazov6601]

I believe the prophecy will be fulfilled soon I can sense it my friends believe

[@DestroyerOfOgis]

"Ulf" is a based name.

[@andyjax7816]

9:30 is that SOAD Toxicity but Feudal...?

[@thwrealmarcosm]
