@@torabisu188 the official Bannerlord forums on Taleworlds website have a clans section. You’ll likely find most of the clans in these videos in there :)

[@caligula9910]

Imagine this as a competitive game with narrators and everything

[@giongiorris]

we had total war arena a few years ago.. great game. It was 5v5, each player controlled 3 units

[@parcirecords]

bit like time commanders

[@gamewh0re]

@@parcirecords lol was literally just watching time commanders befor this

[@Neutral_1zed]

Whatever company hiring the team gotta be fucking broke by the end of that tournament, imagine sponsoring/hiring like fifty fucking players. Plus, the nature of competitive gaming just can’t work here. In Bannerlord, most of, if not all individuality is stripped away and you MUST work with your team. There will be no superstar, there will be no one man army. It’s very realistic, you can only earn recognition through leading but that’s it. If you’re a part of the squad, you’re just a number in the squad. So it will be hard for these players to make any money outside of competitions. But if we’re not talking like esports, yeah, host a competition with a prize for players who play for fun (so these guys), then narrate it as they play.

[@parcirecords]

@@Neutral_1zed it could work if you have two part of the tourney .. battle mode and Multiplayer conquest.. in Total war it would work with a modified campaign map.. where each player has a faction and then see who teams up with who .. think about the battle we would see.. historical or not .. (it's weird they never tried to make a campaign map multiplayer mode..) in mount and blade it could work better because there you have player based game progress so everyone can be a general in the campaign map mode and then the teams will ally with each other and create kingdoms by default .. and the battle mode is just each member of the team plays battles vs the other teams player like penalties in football , who wins the most battles wins.

[@Sebastian-xy2up]

Seeing a fight from this perspective, seeing all those individuals demonstrates how challenging it must have been to coordinate such an amount of people in a medieval war. Then think about that each soldier carried a heavy armor and weapon, swinging killing blows all the way. What stamina they must have had. Cool video!

[@antoslv3913]

in fact it is even more complicated because they had to switch sith fresher men after some time, so there was a lot of rotation... There is no need to do so in the game (and you don't risk your real life) so... wow.

[@vitrebrov]

This game has nothing close to real medieval warfare

[@ZayOne15]

if u keep in mind how "useless" leaders are in that kind of fight , i mean yes some tactics are throwing into the pit for the first min of fight and than 99% ends of chaos 1vs1 . while in the antike roman legions or hoplits etc had way more disciplin staying in formation even in the hardest conditions and with this way more tactical solution was possible

[@Puschit1]

That's where musicians, flags and other means of signalling come in.

[@08mlascelles]

@@ZayOne15not really, whilst medieval warfare is often depicted as totally chaotic, it wasn’t, there were a huge number of tactics at play. Also, the Romans really weren’t the genius military people think they were. Like most empires, they were often attacking less developed, technologically inferior territories. When faced with a foe with equal technology and strong tactics, the Roman legions were just as likely to crumble as everyone else.

[@tirkentube]

Everything so organized. 3 minutes in: absolute f*kin CHAOS boys and girls.

[@TheSmokeGoblin]

This is so badass i literally cannot explain it. Just pushing up in a shield wall with the boys must literally be insane!

Honestly bud, there’s no other gaming experience like it :) absolutely recommend joining!

[@Turnaround_]

When Mount and Blade events are good they’re amazing, hundreds in the voice chat spectating the last ten men alive is hype

[@aljongalaroza1511]

So easy to hit the attack key when in formation ha

[@macstrong1284]

happened a lot in real life too

[@franboge9228]

[@RazorbackX99]

Amazing visuals! And great commentary. Just an addition in all fairness: The coalition won the event 5:4. Well fought, lads! Greetings from Jasperre (Aquitaine) 🙂

[@MattsFiefdom]

Thanks Razorback! I'll have to find you on the battlefield next week! In game I'm CloudWolf (KoH). It's true, the coalition did win this one overall this week. Just wanted to make everyone aware, I typically just use the most interesting three rounds and make up a story around them to make the video more immersive :)

[@LaMuerteLeather]

@6:18 I see the archers shifted to catapulting the horse corpses at the enemy. Smart tactics there.

[@blackairforceone]

this just cam out of no where in my recommended... these are like minecraft player experiments but M&B, love it!

yessss and I need more lol

[@Bern_il_Cinq]

Who needs NPCs when you have hundreds of valiant keyboardmen 😂. Cool battles

[@matts7125]

Your honestly doing a good job getting all the action and I like the spotlight to highlight each unit as you voiceover what's going on. Gives newcomers some perspective.

[@crazylittledevil360]

Same bro, the modding community has also abandoned the game. Only good one is Old realm

[@JSparo-TotalWarMachinima]

@@ASquareNarwal There are plenty of good mods in the making. For Taleworlds however, I would be very glad to have some news because the game feels far from being finished in my opinion.

[@steppahouse]

Very impressive getting this many players to do ANYTHING at the same time. I can't see it happening very often, but I can definitely see a Total War-style came where each player is the commander of a single unit, say 100 spearmen or something like that. That might be interesting :)

[@rvalle11]

this is so sick man. this is the stuff that needs to be in the LA olympics now that gaming is a qualified sport.

[@TaRAAASHBAGS]

Imagine this with asymmetric warfare like Bretonnia vs Norsca. What a beauty

[@BRE-Guiskard]

Awesome Video, i love everything! Keep up that awesome Work, see you on the Field

[@milliamp]

I love that technology has made this possible. It's so cool

[@Ottocide]

I was quite apprehensive of the 3rd fight being situated in and around the church, but holy crap that was easily the coolest battle of the bunch!! The way the Coalition swarmed out of the back entrance was beyond epic. It was a great segway to pull away from the stalemate at the front entrance, and then revisiting it, revealing a total melee had broken out inside. That was really so well done. I wish it was easier to tell who was on what team, often squads that shared the same colors were on opposing teams. So cool nonetheless

[@Lilrob06]

Apprehensive?

[@TheMitchellExpress]

I have always imagined a battlefield type game like this. I think it can be done in public servers where the "commander" sets objectives that give rewards like increased damage, health, speed in the way of equipment and items. The commander can be the player with the highest elo and the middle elo people get to be officers that can lead groups with a similar set objective:get reward mechanic.

[@trucbleu4421]

The horse 6:18 🤣🤣🤣

[@MattsFiefdom]

Haha I was waiting for someone to notice 🤣

[@Solbadgreg]

Did someone find The Ring of Power?!? That poor horse.. =O

[@aruji-sama]

I remember a roblox game based on Napoleonic war just like this

[@robertjohnson558]

bro this could be something special...imagine like an RTS style kind of match like this with a commander able to draw lines where he wants the troops. Maybe even assassins to take out the commander and lose that birds eye view. This could be an awesome league...

[@A13_Mk1]

The "draw lines" part reminds me of "War of Rights" which is a different time period, but commanders can mark areas of the ground which specify where players of the regiment will stand and hold.

[@faramund9865]

Commanders are present in the field. You needn’t have a birdseye.

[@Luduin]

this is amazing, it was what bannerlord players always wanted.

Btw, the way you narrated last round seemed as if BRE won that day, but overall score was Coalition victory as far as I remember. :)

[@MattsFiefdom]

Hey bud! Yea that's right the Coalition did win this one. I often try to make up a story around the most interesting 3 rounds. Historically, there's quite a few of my videos that don't exactly align with the real event score :) I'm open to changing my approach if people would prefer the story to match the real results. Might do a poll for it later in the week :)

[@terraincognitaband7273]

suggestion: a second camera which is constantly filming from high above to have a steady strategic view. maybe you could put it after the "real" video so afterwards we can see the strategy and analyse it?

[@MattsFiefdom]

Great suggestion bud! One I've considered many times. The problem is that Bannerlord has no replay feature, I only get one take to record each round. It would be an absolute dream to wind back and get multiple angles of the battle :) Lets petition Taleworlds to add one 😂

@@MattsFiefdom is there a possibility to have another guy recording too? Like, as a co-mate?

@@terraincognitaband7273 Yea potentially bud! That could work for sure. Only trouble is asking someone to do it.

I mean at the end of the day publicity and getting more people engaged in bannerlords is always nice ;) but im not sure thats gonna be allowed since the RP thing is more of an internal inter dutchy roleplay thing and we do have our own rules and our own guys for chronicling and releasing videos on those ^^ but do try talking to Lord Folcard (benoni) or one of our other Lords they can surely give you a more official answer or maybe work something out with ya ^^

Request: Can you please in some way ACCURATELY recreate the battle of Tannenenberg/grunwald? But with accurate terrain tactics and everything. That would be awesome to see.
