The lesser known tale of Captain Jack Sparrow...

[@MarkO-pu4yo]

you should use tournment arrows which will always know them out

[@spieschrl3a]

Will you use troops whose were the formers prisoners of the enemy. Also swinging with a speer only wounds the enemy and doesnt kill them.

[@nothinginmymind8747]

Wait what about SimCity is that still going? Please tell your making more of it?!

[@reina4969]

...Pirate so brave on the seven seas! A mystical quest to the isle of Tortuga Raven locks sway on the ocean breeze!!!!

[@justinlakey6838]

Other than tournament arrows, blunt weapons tend to knock out enemies, so if only one remains, go for the mace.

[@Pcspiker]

If you can find tournament arrows at a town they do blunt damage which 100% knocks people out with them instead of killing

[@ambiguousamphibian]

Ooo this sounds promising!

[@willhonorless2195]

I was basically screaming this into my screen whenever he went to sell stuff

[@wingofunny]

this, yeah found out the easy way what they did, fought 30 of those looter, captured 18 and killed none....

[@guillaumekaas6505]

*AA:* Let's use the mace! *Me:* Yes! *AA:* Puts mace away. *Me:* No! No please no!

[@christopherg2347]

@@ambiguousamphibian Every game that has a concept of prisioners (RimWorld, Kenshii, previous M&B titles) are designed to have blunt damage be way more effective at taking prisioners. If you find a slave hunter, headhunter or police-type enemy - those usually use blunt weapons. I had no confirmation, but I strongly asumed Tournament Arrows were blunt.

[@mareczek00713]

Has a mace, shoots a bow 100% of the time. "Why do they keep dying on me?"

[@SpiritoftheSands]

If they can handle a measly arrow to the throat then they arent strong enough to join

[@robin6469]

@Pud Pete due to the in-game mechanics, blunt weapons have a higher likelihood of knocking someone out rather than killing them, hence why the Slavers in Warband used maces

[@Brocuzgodlocdunfamdogson]

@Pud Pete blunt weapons are less lethal than blades, period. Can they be lethal? Of course. But there’s a reason cops carry clubs and not blades.

[@PugnaciousProductions]

@@Brocuzgodlocdunfamdogson Yes, but their clubs aren’t made of steel with 4 sharpened blades on it.

[@zerglinglover2303]

@@Brocuzgodlocdunfamdogson Historically, maces were far more lethal than a sword or axe.

[@RLCANNIBAL]

It's like you simulated the birth of Australia.

Good'a maits

I enjoyed this thank you

As an Australian, i agree this is our history

TIP : The color of the skull when you down an enemy tells you if the unit died or not. Red = Dead

[@ambiguousamphibian]

Ah cool! Thanks for this!

[@juicyfruit5444]

redemption

[@alitaher003]

Amphibian: Only one wounded. Shame. Also Amphibian: Shoots at them with pointy arrows when he's got a mace.

[@germanicknight229]

You can also buy special arrows call"tournament arrows" that deal blunt damage, so they have a higher chance of knocking people out

[@ambiguousamphibian]

Thanks! Just heard about this!

it boggles my mind how you dont have a million subscribers. i rarely enjoy anyones commentary but yours is top notch.

He really is a Frog above men

[@jamesharbor4893]

he's also been hard at work with art practice on insta. man's a absolute madlad and its amazing

[@TheBomb571]

A high medicine skill increases the chance of wounding I'm pretty sure. A companion is usually best, but you can always assign yourself as the Surgeon in your clan menu to get a little boost to level it faster.

[@ambiguousamphibian]

Thanks for the tips!

[@TheBomb571]

@@ambiguousamphibian NP! Love this game and I'm excited to see how the series goes. Also, while not important for some time, leadership seems to level up fastest while leading armies when you have a faction.

[@derekdrake8706]

This is basically the Genghis Khan challenge.

[@germanicknight229]

Tip: Blunt weapons usually knock them out better and a Longbow requires you to be dismounted

[@KrazyKaiser]

Jesus Christ, two videos in one day. Really getting a bang for my patreon buck here.

[@Wenzel368]

This inspired me to do my own challenge of bandits only, use only what you find, no buying from shops except food

[@iwilltomorrow]

I have to say, newer to the channel but I'm really liking it. I find myself very disappointed when the video ends when there's not another video of whatever series it is. Thanks for the videos and keep making more :D

[@jiggyjustin2292]

Every video you make is enough to make me cry tears of joy, seriously tho thanks for all the great content I’m so glad I have someone as enjoyable and interactive as you to watch. I hope you earn more subs and I wish the best for you, btw stay safe. Thanks

[@jakub1763]

Man i remember watching your first all negative traits run in project zomboid when you had like 10k subscribers good to see your channel growing so much

[@nathankincaid9814]

It might be a good idea to become a vassal, as leading armies is one of the only ways to increase the leadership perk. It goes extremely slow otherwise.

[@MrSuckafish14]

"Be friends later" that got me, laughed too hard at that. Well done ambiguousamphibian... Well done.

[@Forten2150]

This is exactly looked up. I looked up Mount and Blade Prisoners Only and this is it. Thank you so much for making my night so much better 👍. You got my sub

[@tommeakin1732]

In warband blunt damage weapons were always the go-to if you wanted prisoners, and I think in this game there are arrows that do blunt damage

[@lililillililillililillilil2116]

my favourite youtube channel currently thanks for the uploads man u play all the games i like to play and u make them so much more interesting then me even playing them

Well this and the drone series are oddly refreshing xD keep it up Double A

[@kingcrafteroderderfahradtu7331]

I’ve watched the two prisoner only challenges on KZbin multiple times now. This is my fourth time watching this one. Why is no one else doing it?

Finally I've been searching for a playlist that does this.☺

Ngl I thought this was the hive

[@Corsiare]

11:56 - I love that you absolutely decimated one of your looters, then followed up with 'Gotta make sure we don't do any friendly fire here.' WE saw that. That looter had a FAMILY you monster! :p

lol same I watched all the rim world ones now I'm on this. Kenshi looks like a fucking weird acid trip game and I don't know what it is and it scares me so I passed on that seires.

[@Flesson19]

I love this idea, I think I might want to try it, great idea.

[@finnagetemp3186]

That feeling when you find a new ambigamphibian series 😌

[@MrScottSilva]

Those Battani Fain Archers are, by a very large margin, the best unit in the game. Also you are going to have a tough time chasing down bandits once you get an army. Horses will allow your infantry to move faster, as well as boost your inventory size.

[@Fragtastik]

There was a time in development when all crossbow troops in the game were equipped with tournament bolts and did blunt damage. By the time I was fighting in big army battles I was pulling in enough prisoners to ransom or convert them and fund my war effort while replenishing any losses I took.

[@HugeESmalls]

11:55 "Make sure we don't do any friendly fire...and we did lose a guy." You literally killed him a second before saying that

[@christophebedouret9813]

Ambiguousamphibian : slaughter is friendship...

[@Vok250]

You could have cheesed this by just joining an ongoing siege by sneaking into the castle. Defenders usually win in this game 4 to 1 and you get a literal instant army of gear and freed prisoners.

[@Mr.0s]

I suggest using a Mace Some Sort. Instead killing then, knock then XD But good challenge idea.

[@JamesIbis]

Smashing!

[@brandonhudson484]

Well you just made me buy the game because of this series of videos, I too will soon have an army of prisoners and they will rival yours in every way

well game 2 im trying because of you rimworld was a blast ty

"Non-lethal, Friendly headshots." Me: HA! of course that is exactly what a longbow is for.

best channel. best boy. :)

[@didiwin78]

4:00 Spare arrows, or.... Sparrows, if you will.

[@pinstripe4254]

I actually love this game and it’s strange seeing Ambiguous Amphibian being (somewhat) less knowledgeable in a game than I am. I kinda just always expect him to be incredible at games but it’s nice to see that he’s not instantly great at all games I love… although he’s totally better at the combat than I was when I started

[@A_Baguette_]

Best quality videos on the web

[@peagames2002]

It's like Fishy game, but fishes are roaring men.

[@boshi9326]

I almost choked on my fig newton when you said huzzah, haha

[@ph7517]

You could go to the Khuzait area and try to capture Steppe bandits to get Horse archer. The Desert Bandits also upgrade to some sort of Horse units.

[@cheeseloafyodels]

How do you not have more subs? great vids :)

[@Jibbzz]

Jack Sparrow and his prisoner legion are born! If only Calradia was ready...

[@michaelmcnally9737]

How can I make you money by buying the games you play? You're probably the most effective game advertiser for me. And it's entertaining no less.

[@olvustin6671]

now thats what I call a challenge

[@prinzluc1410]

A little Tip: I heard, that if you let your Archers charge, they go into mellee range. So saying them to advance should be better. Another way, if you want to let them do their thing while kiting your Enemys you could use F6 to activate the KI to command your Army (giving command to your Sergants)

[@archangelliam7079]

If you use blunt tipped arrows Like the tournament arrows, you would get more prisoners that way. But I love the vid so keep it up. Tell the tale of Jack Sparrow!!!

[@penisinlargementpills2511]

casually shoots tiny spears into a mans chest "Why do they keep dying on me?"

[@preator_vallum6377]

Man, good video to watch after learning tfs wont continue dbza

[@toastjarvice4372]

I like this

[@SchmidyGaming]

2 things 1) Blunt weapons will work better, and 2) If you would like, you can sometimes hire thugs from taverns. So you could add that as a "clause" in your desire to lead a rouge outfit.

[@voccicausm5975]

I really liked your vids. I hope they were a a bit longer

[@zeta970]

The Khan is born!

[@Sergio_Arts]

You need to have a certain perk in archery in order to use any bow on horseback, longbows can only be used on foot if you don’t have it.

[@mway5061]

you should probably get the RecruitablePrisonersMods to be able to recruit high tier troops and Distinguished Service mod if you still want companions and want to get them without hiring them you can probably find both easily by searching them by name but if you want i can post the links here too

[@wert1234576]

oooh so that's how you become a bandit chief

[@hostergaard]

You could litterally loot tournament arrows at some point to shoot them down non-lethally, and there where wooden hammers available to take them down non-lethaly! ah well, little tip; if its blunt it will knock out enemies instead of killing them.

[@nothinginmymind8747]

0:48 MIssed an obvious rhythm "on his horseback"

[@TamTroll]

might have to add this game to my wish-list. try and do this challenge myself. shame you can't turn one of your reformed bandits into your named companion.

[@ARTEMISXIX]

Highly suggest farming forest bandits (They eventually upgrade to the best archer unit in the game) and steppe bandits for some half decent cav (Mountain bandits can sometimes spawn on horseback, but I think those are just their chiefs). Consider farming peasants too since they cost nothing to maintain and eventually upgrade to mercenary units. EXXXXTRA TIP: Buy a store ASAP. I suggest a woodworking store in Battania. It'll pay itself back in literally 2 weeks and after that it'll fund another store while reducing the amount of denars you have to pay your men, its easily the best investment you can do in this game.

[@enonsages]

This is the second thing I did when I entered the game :D

[@seanclancy2587]

You should try this challenge again some time, after you've spent more time with the game, because I think there are some several ways you could manipulate the game to make this challenge easier. I'm going to try it myself. Seems fun!

[@pointynoodle]

“Nyyyeeeiiiighhhhh, smasheeng”

[@ZazzilasArden]

Forest Bandits are actually some of the best archers in the game. The only foot archers that are superior are the Battanian Fians, which they can be upgraded to, but cost an arm and a leg to upkeep.

[@steelcommander9918]

Tournement arrows do blunt damage which was always a capture in warband, pretty sure its the same in bannerlord

[@TinosHut]

13:59 congratulations for that looter to get that head shot

[@dichebach]

This game actually looks pretty damn good.

[@VladD5]

In the turnaments if they have heavy armor hit them in the head,usualy u can do like 20 dmg in the head instead of 2 in the chest...and you can run around him clockwose while hitting him its a good strategy especially if you dont have a shield..hope it helps
