You can add smithing stage with 4focus points and than 300 trade with 2focus poins and how to level up efectively your character and companions during mercancery stage with helping with Siege defence/Siege engines. I found enginering and Stewart are not important/waste because companion can do it.

Even as a highly experienced Bannerlord player(approaching 10,000 hours), and a channel featuring advanced tactics for late-game campaigns, I still rely on Strat for all of my nuanced learning episodes. This guy is the authority on Bannerlord.

[@Jezecek02]

General, good to see you here! Your tactics helped me greatly during my time as a mercenary for Sultan Unqid against the Vlandians. I managed to defeat a force of Vlandian knights, numbering around 230, with just 80 infantrymen, many of whom were only tier 3 and 4. I was commanding them within an army, though I was just a commander and not the army leader.

It's really amazing, honestly, that you are still giving so much attention to a game that gave up on itself for some time now. Great guide, this one is pure gold for anybody that gives the game an opportunity for the first time.

[@RicWalker]

There is another easy and common quest: villager needs tools. i always have a couple for that quest and buy a few (5 to 10) when i see them dirt cheap in a town. Actually, how much you get paid per influence as a mercenary depends on how rich the guy is you ask. usually the best one is the faction leaders and the clan leaders. i've been contracted for 250 to 300 in the past. In regards to marriage: go to the clan leader or parent. sometimes you can outright ask to marry someone eligable in their clan and you get into the trading menu. Crazy but i bought some wifes for some swords and horses. that way i skip the skill checks. M&B is about the thrill of the fights. so all that auto resolving is a bit sad. but yeah, for the purpose of a guide, its fine. and even with my many hours in the game learned something from watching ("only" the auto resolve ratio for siege defense).

I've got around 180 hours in bannerlord and never got far with the strategy aspect of the game. Most of my time's been spent making money, fighting bandits and winning tournaments. When I was a vassal or mercenary I got frustrated being the under equipped caretaker of the AI, but its good to know now that it's part of the experience 😆

[@ChristopherHoover-g9o]

A good way to become the tournament champion for that sweet, sweet 1 renown a day is to get to clan tier 2, save up influence, and form the biggest army you can, while victories account for winning the actual tournament, it is also affected by how many lords participate in the tournament, so lets say your doing a tournament with 2 lords, you will get 3 victories on the tournament leaderboard instead of 1

[@Yosterix]

Been watching your vids for a while now. If I may add a little bit of extra info for the escort quest you started at 38min, when you have enough troops it pays to stay ahead of the caravan and intercept the raiders before the caravan gets into combat so that they dont lose any members. Also, there is only 1 quest based group of enemies between each town, however if a large enough group of bandits or raiders gets close enough they will attack the caravan, this can be a problem if the route takes you past a hideout. As for the caravan ambush mission, there is a mission, there is a minimum required follow distance or the raiders wont spawn. This is as far as I got in the video before work, so I apologize if you cover this later. Really enjoy how informative your videos are, and the have helped me alot, keep up the good work.

[@Strat-Guides]

These are great tips, you're spot on with intercepting the attackers before they hit the caravan - plus you don't have to share loot and prisoners :)

Not having to share is the best part

[@Strat-Guides]

I'm happy to hear that! Bannerlord has a bit more RNG when it comes to quests and items available at towns, but hopefully this is still easy enough to follow. I recommend having the notion page with the checklist open for this one since you might run into quests earlier than I did in my run.

[@krutokh9755]

When you defended the siege at about 1:30:00, it would be better to take all the prisoners and immediately donate them to the dungeon. Didn't play for a while, so no idea if that's still the case, but you used to get influence for donating prisoners, and since you're in the castle and paused after the battle, there is no tick that will allow any prisoners to escape. Edit: Yeah, just a few minutes later you donate prisoners for influence. So it still works.

[@Strat-Guides]

Good catch! The only downside I would say to keep in mind there - if it's the AI's fief you're defending, you have to make sure you can be there to defend it or else those prisoners will become enemy troops instantly if the fief falls.

[@krutokh9755]

@@justinlast2lastharder749 Let me remind you what version of this game we are on... Version 1.2.10. If you look at all the recent patches/updates, they are all just fixes that should have been done years ago. There is absolutely no new content that these devs make and its a huge shame. The modding community can only do so much. EVEN BG3 has more meaningful updates and the game was already basically finished at launch which blows my mind. If you look at other rts games like Warhammer 3, age of empires, etc. you will notice the game devs dont immediately give up on the game post release and post regular updates/dlcs showing they actually care about the game. I can guarantee you the mount and blade devs are working on the next copy/paste game and have already forgotten they made M&B2. Edit: I realised u might not realise the significance of what version 1.2.10 means. Usually if there are lots of updates to a game the number goes up to like version 5 or even version 10 after a few years, but this game hasnt even crossed version 1 yet.

[@Rvlion79]

I love the idea behind the game. I like the big battles, it is however quite annoying to have a 200+ size army and only have half come to battle, because the opposing army is so huge (love 250 vs 1300+ on easier settings), the personal fighting system has a steep learning curve but can be quite fun. What I do dislike a freaking lot is the AI and diplomacy system. AI allies never help you and only run around like a headless chicken with huge armies or take over & lose any siege you started. You can be sieging the last city or castle of a kingdom and before being able to finish your allies decide not only to make peace, but also pay tribute, which will be for eternity because the bad AI will never allow me to propose a war against them.

Thanks! It usually has to do with 2 things - Clan tier and how much money they have. If they have a low clan tier then their party limits will be low.

Why put points into medicine when you can have a dedicated medic role? and allow someone else to waste their points. Maybe it will be said, later, curious to know! I've played a lot of this game, and this tutorial looks correct on the rest of the topics.

[@Strat-Guides]

Good question! The main reason I recommend this for a beginner is because it's much more simple to handle those skills with your main character. It can be challenging to find a good companion to handle steward, then another for medicine and another for engineering. This method you can handle all 3 with your main character AND get to 330 guaranteed because we put 10 attribute points into intelligence. With a companion, you'll probably get to 5 or 6 attributes by the end game and MAYBE 7 if you're lucky and find one at level 11 or less (get another attribute at level 12). Another thing to consider - some of the really good perks are tagged as party leader, which means your companions won't be able to use them in the main party. 275 Medicine is a good example. If you're experienced and know what you're doing, you can definitely get away with having companions handle these roles for you, but I felt like this build was good for a brand new player, so that's my rationale!

@@Strat-Guides Understood, its a good point that a begginer will find it easier that way. Have a nice day :)

Bro I have request can you make granny guide on Victoria 3

[@Strat-Guides]

It's on my list to cover all the Paradox games, but I probably won't get to it for a few months at least. Eventually I will though! I love Paradox games

Were herd delivery quests nerfed recently? I get 900 instead of 1800 like in the video.

[@Strat-Guides]

It depends on the herd you're carrying - I think cows pay the most and pigs/sheep pay a lot less. It's still a good quest to do because it's so easy and low risk

[@MyVanir]

@@Strat-Guides Absolutely, I was just weirded out by the way you got cow quests several times in a row iirc, which made me think all of them give 1800.

[@Strat-Guides]
