Bannerlord's Best Units, Commands & Formations! Final Update Tactics Guide

Well it's finally done - over two weeks worth of work went into this and I was running low on time and energy. Sorry I couldn't add more memes or cool edits, 90% of the effort for this video went into the data and analysis. On the bright side, you'll know how to dominate every battle in 1.9 full release :D I've got a few shorter videos that I need to try to push out before the 25th so stay tuned, it's going to be a BUSY week!

you could have cured at least one type of cance with all this effort

There's so much info here, I feel I need a summary of the summaries. A text guide would be nice. Just a short best troop per category and their best formation against enemy X. I watched this video several times over and feel like my brain just melted trying to keep up. Maybe I'm just slow 🙂

Hi-di-ho my friends. That need a little update, but you should wait till th next patch in October(this winter thing) to cover something up.
Work-break always means Strat Gaming to me.
And eat of cours.

Would be nice to get new analysis for the new 1.2 patch with new behavior and stuff.

This is incredible! Its like what spirit of the law does in AoE2!!! Thank you! This is fascinating for a new player! I feel like cav should be beasts. But it just looks like they suck against everything. I've been using cav archers and opening with them to create disorganization and my cav to defend against other cav rushes. Once the lines are scattered a bit I start the manual charges and it seems to do well.

Circle is situational tactic I’ve done well fighting larger armies with smaller ones circle on a hill and put archers in center while cav hits and runs on the outside even if I did eventually loose some battles it was costly for the enemy

Can someone give me unit>formation>command TLDR? my head hurts

so now its totally unrealisitc

I'm new to bannerlord and this is a little overwhelming. If anyone knows about a video about best army compositions, commands and troop types plz share the link. Thank you✌️

Shock troops can’t defend against archers so I always use shield as archers are king

What would a good army composition be? I like to role play and only use my cultures troops. I’m doing empire right now and have been keeping 1/3 infantry,archer, and Calvary

Is this info still relevant? I’m on console and just started playing recently

I LOVE THIS GAME

Thanks!

So in terms of which is the better shield infantry, what would you go with? You used Legionaries for the formation testing, but given that Heavy Spearmen and Axemen performed better vs cav would they have the edge?

I find that the more cav you have the more chaostic it would become. And they are most effective, especially the lance ones, against other Cavs, and back raids. Otherwise getting stuck is a real problem

Play Bannerlord, a game where a famous cavalry formation, famous for its success sucks for cavalry, but destroys when used for infantry 😅

i would love rts camera mod to work on 1.1.2.
it's so hard trying to find some high ground for s better view before i get bum rushed by the ai

Does this still work in version 1.1.2?

It's amazing how powerful using classical music in the background helps to calm me and make it easier to concentrate on the content. You're killing it dude.

Thank you so much for the insane amount of time you invested on this. I had a question i cant seem to find an up to date RTS camera mod do you know of one?

Great thumbnail BTW! I just recently got this game. Perfect timing for a new channel to start digging into.

so in summary, don't use cavalry

How do you have all this time to compile this data?! Thanks for this! :)

I love this content

These videos are interesting, but the loud meme shit kinda ruin the experience.

H! Nice video, thanks for the information. What would the best army composition be in your opinion?

Like, this is cool and all, but how the hell am I supposed to make a balanced army with pikes and shock troops consistently?
Spending an hour going from village to village to find them?

And how would I make different armies with specific units inside?

I know it's way late to comment but how would I set up that 3 group cav charge? I feel like they'd end up grouping together rather than charging from different angles

I'm using RBM AI and cavalry just dominate. I haven't used native in forever.

I don't know if you use that mod, but if so, what do you think of the Vlandian pikeman performance?

How much of this is still legit in 1.1.0?

Is this guide still up to date?

nice guide. is this still applicable in the latest patch? I'm having problem with sturgs lmao

Got my shit rocked by cavalry on a god damn mountain with my archers at the very top but somehow they get up there and kill them all like it’s nothing

Shame about cav under performing

Kuzait shock troops are dismounted khans guard, and the glave is very effective.

Support comment

Correction why no banner knight or sharpshooters?

Why no banner knight?

I'm excited to use skein

For cavs, usually i never would order a charge against infantry from the front unless it is sufficiently softened by missiles, in general i would lead cavalry personaly in order to keep running around the enemy and looking for weak spots. the AI goes crazy if you keep running around it in high speed, it keeps changing formation and once in a while it screws up and lets a few units isolated and vulnerable, it feels almost like a pack of hunting wolfs. Cavalry can be extremelly effective but it requires a ton of micromanagement and often will require you to lead them yourself, depriving the rest of your army of its commander.

The ending.... hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. yessir

So many tests... That's what I call dedication!

You’re a G Strat. Just started watching you and I couldn’t be more impressed

I am not surprised by the voulgier being so good. They are basically feudal poleaxe users. Poleaxes are one of the if not the best melee weapon of the high middle ages. If the voulgiers had full late middle ages plate they would be almost unstoppable.
