I'm developing unused land plus patrols too increase my bank roll by two or three times. Horses get the most revenue.

On PC you can toggle walk so that you remain at a walking speed instead of building up more speed, and if you spear brace and set yourself to walk then you can move and remain braced. Spear bracing lets you hold the spear so that it counters cavalry charging, although on some terrain it doesnt work that well.​@@Dalziel45

Thank you! Haha nice, hopefully these are more entertaining than the training videos :P If my professor back in my college days spoke at this pace it would have been pretty hard to handle without a recording. The main reason I do it is to keep the info compact and get people on their way quickly. As you stated, rewinding (or even some use the speed adjustor in KZbin and run at 0.75 playback) seems to be a fair compromise. I sucks to make people do extra work, BUT I think it's even more work sitting through people stumbling about their words, umms and uhhs, watching loading screens etc. haha I try my best to respect everyone's time but still deliver the pertinent info!

I have no idea how I haven't found this video before. This is exactly what I needed, no BS, no sugarcoating, no cheese. everything is straightforward. throughout the video you made it look so easy that it was kind of disheartening, I'm glad you put in the small montage of all the deaths you had while trying to make the video. The things I have learned in this video that I didn't already: 1. You can ready your attack and still kick! 2. what weapon handling actually does 3. You can pommel/weapon bash 4. Walk Couching 5. Two handed axes have crush through and strikethrough 6. Weapon Dragging. some people may not have noticed it in the video, but I did. in several clips you dragged the swing so your weapon would hit faster, but you kept it in the max damage window of the swing. my only question is does the added speed of your movement increase the damage too, or only just make it harder to block? 7. Feints actually exist and work 8. Chain attacks 9. Chambering is real??!

I've found the best practice to familiarize yourself with combat in bannerlord was pit fights at the arena, especially before they nerfed the exp gain there. You get to try out pretty much every kind of weapon and in a lot of situations. Free money + character experience + player experience. Also I've found that the best weapon skill is not a weapon skill. You can easily win with a skill of 1 vs an opponent with a skill of 250 if your athletics is high enough. Because if we think about it, being the sole deciding factor for if and when weapons even can reach each other is huge, and can be used to mitigate the slow swing speed of a weapon skill level 1 character. Great video as per usual ^_^
@Strat-Guides
@Strat-Guides 3 жыл бұрын
I would mostly agree with you about the pit fighting, except if you're trying to train a specific thing like blocking with a weapon but have to have your shield up all the time because the ranged weapons, then it can slow the learning down a lot. It definitely helps learning combat though, I think the pit fights are harder to win than the tournaments! That's a great point - athletics is so important for fighting on foot. Especially if you're good with stun combos and chamber blocking, you don't need fast attack speed to land good hits :) Thank you!!

I need to warn that as far as i figured out chambering relies heavily on initial position of your weapon. So chambering overheads is rather impossible if done with your weapon hand raised yet fairly easy with your weapon hand lowered. One also should remember that timings could be eased with proper footwork and distance. So side chambers are more reliable while sidesteping away from oponents attack. And the easiest way to chamber overheads i found is to perform them from longer distance while getting closer with the enemy. The only reliable way to chamber thrusts that i found is by using spear against spear and again longer distance. Meanwhile thing o be remembered about spears is that they prowide solid ghostreach so any chamberes should be timed little earlier.
@Strat-Guides
@Strat-Guides 3 жыл бұрын
Interesting, I had not noticed any of this! That's great to know. I was able to chamber from any position, but it does make sense that different stances will give you a better chance to proc since it changes the position of your own weapon. Great info, thank you so much for adding this!!

Once you learn to parry and chamber consistently it becomes a whole other game. Throw some spins in there for style points and slightly delaying/advancing your hit. One of the few (mostly) single-player games that really feels rewarding to _git gud_ at. The definition of "easy to learn, difficult to master".

Also, I can't remember if I said this in the video or not, but you can hit more than 2 with a single swing. I might have said 2, but it's actually more than that if you have massive damage!

btw, one more tip. If you press G while holding a weapon you will drop it, but if you are carrying a shield, hold your block by holding RMB and press G then you will drop your shield instead of your weapon. Carrying a shield makes you heavier and you move slower so in some cases is better to drop your shield, specially when your shield is about to break. If your enemy manages to destroy your shield with a blow you will get stunned without being able to defend yourself so in that case is better to drop your shield and not let your enemy break it. foot work and positioning correctly when fighting can and will save your life as well.

Like, comparing the speed, reach and hitbox of characters of the smallest and largest sizes. I played a big boye, and his axe swings were godlike. Now i'm playing the shortest girl ever, and her shield is as tall as she is so she never gets hit by arrows lol. That sort of comparison would be interesting to see. 3) The previous item made me think other people probably have other quirky questions, which could make for a good series of its own. 4) Does the perk that double the effect of food variety on morale also double your Steward experience gain?

Thank you! I still feel like I'm not sure what I'm doing, but whatever it is i'll keep doing it haha Yes that's a great idea, I know there are some differences that can be an advantage. Thank you for the idea, I'll add it to the list! So it doesn't effect Steward XP since that's based on how much food you eat. If there is anything that increases food consumption, then it will do that (none that I can think of right now, only in RimWorld with a Gourmand haha). It should help with Leadership though if you can get above 75 morale!

Very very good ! I was caught in the field by 6 knights, only with a two handed axe; I had to call in the cavalry, couldn't block all the stabs :)) I'm too lazy to feint, but I'll start trying them and maybe the chamber blocks. Right now I was fighting in tournaments and try to keep my companions alive so I can fight 1v1 vs them and just use bashes and blocks, so they level up more.

Thank you! Oh nooo that's the worst. It's not hard to block one or two, but when they start stunning you and you can't block, that's when it's all over lol I don't really like feinting against the AI as much. I find that if they fall for a feint, they would just as easily fall for a regular hit lol Actually it's pretty good against higher level opponents now that I think about it. Low levels don't block much anyways so I just swing away :)

I'd really like an ultra advanced video that covers how stance affects attacker/defender stun. Covering attack speed from stance, and how to manipulate time to block from weapon position would be pretty nice. Also a mention of how stance affects attack trajectories would be good as well. With the chain attack section it would also be good to mention the flinged attack where your character seems to commit to an attack on the combo end with 1 hand weapons.

@@Strat-Guides The only reason I know stance affects attacker and defender stun is because Giru was modding bannerlord on stream and showed the code for it. Some of the other bannerlord guides show that if you are strafing with your swing the animation is shorter so your time to hit is also shorter (due to the stance). Then there's obviously kicks, 2 hand stabs, and 2 hand overheads having a different trajectory depending on stance as well.

I have a lot of experience with warband, but little XP with bannerlord. What I find so far, about bannerlord is that when you are on foot, athletics skill (movement speed) matters the most. + moving faster adds damage as well. The problem however is when you are fighting multiple enemies, even only 2 at a time is very difficult, since you have to outmaneuver them in such a way that you only fight one at a time. However even lower tier units will have their athletics in about 120-ish. Now combine that with the fact that you are running backwards, hence you are much slower and you find yourself surrounded in no time. Circling to the flank of the enemies can help, but it is also risky, since you can get surrounded from the other side as well. Not to mention that heavier armor will further slow your ms... Basically the hardest possible way to play this game is two-handed infantry type... You are a sitting duck vs archers, cavalry will give you hard time and infantry will almost always beat you with numbers. The only thing I find myself good at is duels, but those never happen on the open field... Nevertheless, I will stick with two-handed infantry gameplay, cuz I find it the most satisfying... I can always return to my khuzait cavalry guy, who steamrolls everything, but where is the fun in that :D

@@Strat-Guides Especially considering the fact that due to the hard shields that I have, I did not pay attention to the direction of blocking. Having engineering on 25 we have an additional 30% to the strength of the discs, which greatly facilitates the state of affairs. Although the best training in my opinion is to go to the arena. I do not mean competitions and prizes, but going to the leader of the Colosseum and asking about the possibility of fighting as well as you can ask him where the next competition is. This is very usable. Fights are difficult there because of the high chance the appearance of the opponent from behind, with a bow that will aim straight at the exposed back. In such a state, we will withstand a shot, well, maybe two. Fighting with someone during this time, he will break the animation and die. There you need to have eyes everywhere.

Great video! It seems that 2h weapon stances only affect the timings of chamber blocks against enemy's left and right swings. I used to think that your character's weapon stance have to align relative to the direction of enemy's swings. Chamber blocks are tough to learn but mastering it means being invincible in 1v1 duels. There's also a 'hidden' stance for 1h weapons which affect overhead swing and thrust animations. For example, if you attack with the left foot out while running, it does a faster attack animation. But with the right foot out, it does a slower but "mini"-lunging animation that has more reach. Along with chamber blocks, footwork is a tough mechanics to master in Bannerlord.
